The New Old Xbox 360′s Guts Shows What’s Old Is New Again

The new old, curiously botoxed Xbox 360 was announced at E3 to a crowd of shrugs. Why add makeup and eyeliner to a walking zombie? Whatever. The ace surgical team at iFixit got their hands on the new old Xbox 360 to see if anything changed inside. Here are the guts.

Jet-Powered, Fire-Blowing Bicycle Is Not Ridiculous At All

Colin Furze, maniac maker of maniac things, like the maniac 80km/h baby stroller, has decided to attach a fire-breathing jet propulsion system to an old woman’s bike, because that’s what maniacs do. As you can imagine, it’s not ridiculous at all.


Our Mums’ Computer Keyboards Looks Like This

Mums are the best. They brought you into the world, they raised you, they loved you, and they took care of you. In fact, what they’re not the best at is a very short list. Actually, it’s just one thing: computers. No matter how easy it is to use a computer, mums will always find a way to freeze the screen and/or forward cute emails.

These Internet Memes Art Pieces Should Be In A Museum

You know a meme when you see one. Silly image. Impact font. Chortling punchline. You know when something goes viral on the internet too. It’s all over Facebook. Every site you go to has a post about it. You keep seeing it for three weeks. But you’ve never seen memes and Internet viral hits like this. This is art.

The Top 10 Countries Who Request Data From Tech Companies

Spoiler alert: the country that requests the most data from tech companies is not Australia. It’s the US. Although we are number nine overall on the list and we did request a boatload of stuff from Twitter.

Why The iOS 7 App Icons Are So Ugly

iOS 7 is beautiful. It’s exciting. It feels like a completely different phone — vibrant, alive and a design refresh in the truest sense of the world. But, um, what about them app icons? Some are nice, but most are bizarre-looking and possibly even ugly. How can something look so good inside but so weird on the face?


Hey Look It’s The New Old Xbox 360 Next To The New Xbox One

Microsoft, for some reason, decided to breathe new life into the ageing Xbox 360 by giving it another facelift. This time, it was done to match the design ethos of the Xbox One. But where the Xbox One looks bold and retro future and almost quietly intimidating, the new old Xbox 360 looks like a cheap mini PC tower. At least they match?


Kinect On The Xbox One Is Like Having More Buttons On The Controller

Gamers who consider their core hard have always thought of Kinect as just some gimmick Wii-successor that they’d never use because true gamers use analogue sticks or fight pads or morse code or something. And maybe the first Kinect was like that. The Kinect 2 on Xbox One? Completely different. It’s truly an extension of the controller without the constraints of a controller.


MacBook Air 2013 Teardown: So Much Battery

12 hours of battery life on the 2013 MacBook Air is simply ridiculous (though it’s also sort of ridiculous that it’s ridiculous). iFixit’s task force took apart this year’s MBA, which is pretty identical to last year’s MBA, to see what’s new and how it can squeeze so much juice.


Here’s What The PS4 Looks Like In Person

Is it possible to be striking and understated at the same time? The PS4 might be just that. Though the early jokes had pointed it as just being an italicised Xbox One, the sharp angles of the rhombus add a lot more character in real life than they do in pictures.
