Mcor Matrix 3D Printer Replicates Objects on the Cheap With Simple Paper and Glue
12:40AM John Mahoney | 3D printers are awesome. Feed them a computer model, and out comes a real object–often with complexity that is impossible to conjure into reality via any other means. Still blows my mind nearly every time I see one in action. Especially cool, then, is the Mcor Matrix, a 3D Printer that aims to keep cost of ownership at a minimum by using as its elementals regular office paper and a common water-based glue. This hand model, for instance, was produced for only €3.70 ($US4.73). galleryPost('3dprinter', 3, ''); More »

Chair Made from Torpedo-Lifting Jaws from a Nuclear Sub Will Cradle Your Explosive Parts
2:45AM Adam Frucci | I can’t say that the Matrix Unplugged Chair looks very comfortable, but it certainly does look badass. That’s because it’s made from the torpedo-lifting jaws of a nuclear submarine. That’s right: the parts that used to handle delicate explosive torpedoes will now be handling your delicate ass. More »

Ultimate Matrix Collection On Blu-ray October 14
6:39AM Jason Chen | The previously DVD and HD DVD-only Ultimate Matrix Collection is headed to Blu-ray October 14, which will be pretty much the same as the HD DVD version. It’ll have 35 hours of extras, picture-in-picture commentary and a price tag of US$130. If you were that big a Matrix fan to spend US$130 on this, you probably already own it on HD DVD.

65-foot-high Lego Cathedrals Store 19 Billion Pieces a Year
2:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | Without a doubt, the Lego brick storage buildings were the most impressive part of my visit to Lego. When I first saw their 20 metre high ceilings, with multiple giant robots going up and down retrieving boxes full of bricks, I felt like I entered the Matrix. Below the thunderous noise of the flying machines, I heard myself shouting: “It’s a cathedral.” And as you will see in the video, with a total 65.6 square-miles storage area–900 million pieces at any given time–they are indeed The Lego Cathedrals. I was in total awe, and the amazement didn’t stop there.

Mac With 150 Apps Running Shows Teeny-Weeny Dock, Exposé Windows
1:59PM Haroon Malik | Ever wondered what Mac Dock and Exposé look like with 150 apps running? Well, wonder no more, friend. Wonder no more. Rest assured, however, everything gets ludicrously tiny. Now, we’re not too sure who’d be using 150 apps simultaneously, except for maybe that dude at the end of The Matrix who manages to confuse the crap out of everyone. Damn, he sure was crazy. Anyway, the sight is quite impressive nonetheless, so jump in for a screen shot. More »
