If you’re a smart guy/girl, I know you won’t try this at home… Clique aqui para assistir o vídeo inserido. A very fast way of lighting your grill, with liquid oxygen! Here’s an older than YouTube video with the very same idea: Clique aqui para assistir o vídeo inserido. Awesome! You probably won’t get much of a barbecue from that though, since it seems to even melt some grills. Unless you like your meat turned to charcoal! Be advised that if not done correctly, this could even blow up… and believe me, you don’t wanna get burned with that type of fire.

We’re not opposed to colors splashed on our favorite accessories, but a new Xbox 360 controller spotted online at EB Games is making us change your minds. Discovered by Chip Chick , this black and red abomination combines the sleek design of Microsoft’s controller with a design only a color-blind person would find appealing. If its lack of style* isn’t enough, the controller — which is bundled with a charger — will set gamers back $70. We’ll stick with our solid colors , thank you very much.

This is a projection system designed to work with a pool table that creates all sorts of crazy animations while you’re trying to sink your balls . I want one pretty badly, but not $80K badly. It doesn’t even come with a table ! In addition to this setup, where the balls reveal an image hidden underneath, you can also set it up to have flames track behind the balls, or water that ripples as the balls pass over it. It’s a pretty awesome trick, one that works surprisingly smoothly.

When I first applied to be a writer here at MakeUseOf, one of the things I suggested, and wanted to see more of, was hardware based articles. I didn’t necessarily mean that we should cover the newest type of hard drives or the best MP3 players out there, like the blog Gizmodo does, but just that we should give tips on all aspects of computers whether it is web based, software based, or hardware based.
