The Love Box is an analog video mixer, house of mirrors for your iPhone (video)
There’s something romantic about hacking the iPhone , especially when it means finding ways to personalize the massively popular handset. Apps like Instagram may help you realize artistic talent, but software just doesn’t get those creative juices flowing like an old-fashioned piece of hardware can.

iOS apps shown running on Apple TV at 720p in new video demo
We’ve seen a jailbroken Apple TV running iOS apps but admittedly, the last demo we were treated to was brief, dimly lit and light on commentary. Now, the developers behind the Apple TV MobileX project are back with a longer, more explanatory video, and this time you can see apps like Facebook, YouTube, Safari and Maps running at 720p resolution. As you can see, the hack generally runs smoothly, though the dev narrating the video is quick to admit that certain apps such as Safari are sluggish due to the fact that he’s using VNC instead of a direct input method like a remote or mouse and keyboard

MIT scholar builds a self-balancing unicycle to roll fast and furious around campus (video)
Sure, we’ve shown you the goofy SBU v2.0 unicycle , but what’s better than a glorious DIY project? MIT student Stephan Boyer has built his own electrical uni-ride, which he’s dubbing the “Bullet.” The single-wheel transporter packs a custom MIG-welded steel body, two 7Ah 12-volt batteries, an ATmega328 chip and a 450-watt electric motor.
