Afrigadget

Stuck for an idea? Afrigadget has some wildly good feats of ingenuity.Home made welders, and a bicycle / human powered knife sharpener (which has video to show how good it is.)

Interesting take

Daringfireball had an interesting take on the apple news today at WWDC 2007.

Interesting too that the built in search engines in Safari (and other browsers) earn money for the developers. That’s not widely publicised.

The new public beta version of Safari is on apple’s website.

Ahh, the internet

The ol’ Commodore 64 wouldn’t have believed its eyes…
The internet really has opened up a whole world of possibilties for individuals, businesses, and artists.

This link is kind of interesting / disturbing … it’s called bioart. I found it on the boing boing site, but the engadget site has a quicker feed it seems.

It’s not auctioning off a kidney (turns out that was a hoax) but it’s likely to put you off your morning toast.

And engadget is also reporting the world’s largest TV is becoming available at retail outlets. It’s a freakin monster. Just compare the size of the remote.

Good thing the dollar is up against the greenback – this thing retails for over US$53,000.
