“Two versions of the watch are being made, one for day (the full color one), and one for night (with glowing ‘Superluminova’ invaders). At as little as $10k a piece, why not buy both? Each Space Invaders watch is being made in a very limited run of just 78 pieces. Even so, if you do the math on that, once they sell out, Romain Jerome and TAITO stand to pocket a tidy sum $1,560,000. Not a bad days work for the Space Invaders, eh?” w/ photos

“Worrying about how much to tip the bellboy could soon be a thing of the past. A recently-opened New York City hotel has a robot that takes care of the guests’ luggage. It may not offer a personal touch, but its efficiency is sure to impress. The 20ft-tall robotic arm at the entrance to the Yotel hotel automatically places the suitcases in lockers for guests who want to wander round New York. This is more convenient than it sounds. For the rooms at the Yotel, which is located on 42nd Street and Tenth Avenue, are tiny in order to keep them affordable. In fact, at just 170 square feet they’re so small the hotel calls them cabins. Aircraft designers were hired to make the rooms feel larger than they are.” w/ photos

“On one side we complain of over population, while on the other side we are creating humanoid robotics. Why can’t we make efficient use of what has been created already instead of creating anything new (for what purpose)?” — mohsinku

“One thing few people would want to recycle is money. After all, in using expressions like ‘throwing money out the window’ and ‘money doesn’t grow on trees,’ we indicate how precious it is to us, and how hard it is to come by. We may not be made of money, but sometimes it feels as if we’d like to be. Like many of us, London-based artist Justine Smith is obsessed with money. However, her quest is the opposite to most people’s: Rather than accumulating money for its own sake or to spend it, she collects the green stuff in order to use and repurpose as many notes of different currencies as possible in her provocative art. Some of the most arresting of her banknote artworks are the modern weapons she creates — guns and grenades — that take aim at the root causes of many of the world’s conflicts.” w/ photos

“THAT was kind of jaw-dropping. Fantastic work.” — Dave Glanz

“The next chapter in the Ringlefinch Saga. Finally, all the secrets are revealed! See how the Troll Hunter fought in his prime!”

“When someone mentions Gundams you instantly think of big full-metal power fighting machines with big guns and rockets. This PC mod may not have the same fighting equipment, but it was inspired by the Gundam anime series. The mod, built by Ramil and Louie, took just over nine days of time, or around 224 hours, to design and build the PC. When you first look at the mod it looks as if it could move around. The detail going into the lighting of the machine is what might be most impressive having a blood red glow combined with fire like oranges. It almost gives off an aura of energy and power making it almost mimic that of a real Gundam.” w/ photos
