Guy Builds Olympic Village Replica with 140,000 Playing Cards [On The Cards] Posted in: Gizmodo This Olympics Village model made by an expert card-stacker makes the Lego Olympics look just naff in comparison. I mean, that model's just a lot of plastic parts snapped together: This guy had to avoid shaky hands, sneezing and stepping incautiously for a whole 20 days while he put the card model together, detailing even the woven-girder shapes of the Bird's Nest. Yup— that's 20 days, 140,000 cards and 100% craziness. [Random Good Stuff] No Comments Aug 18

Olympics Themed Webcam is Not Really A Winner [USB] “Citius, Altius, Fortius†runs the Olympic motto (that’s faster, higher, stronger) and, oh dear, this Olympics themed-webcam can just about manage “cheaper, nastier, LEDier.†It’s in the shape of the five-ring emblem, with a 1.3-megapixel cam in the center ring. The other rings get a glowing LED each. It’s $27, USB 1.1, not Mac-compatible and unlike the Lego Olympics models, it bodes ill for other nasty Olympic-themed gizmos yet to surface.

For the uninitiated, the R4 allows you to download DS games online and play them on your DS. Yes, DS piracy. And now said piracy is threatened! So what does that mean? R4 sales are through the roof. Hell, even I bought one yesterday. The R4 is sold all over the place in Akihabara, the nerd district of Tokyo, and the employees at stores there have already noticed an uptick in sales. The rush in demand has been amazing. These devices always sell well. But this weekend should be staggering, don’t you think? Yes, I do think. So if you’re on the fence about getting one or just discovered their existence thanks to this lawsuit, now seems like a pretty good time to jump on board. For, uh, homebrew games only, of course.
