I thought it would be fun to talk with MAKE pal Richard Giles in Australia for today’s MAKE Audio show, so here’s the Gadget Show for May 22nd. We chatted about MAKE issue 02, E3, Astromechs, VOIP for the Nintendo DS, NASA’s O2 challenge, the XBOX 360, Broadcast Flag part II and a lot more. Download / Subscribe to the audio here.
Amazing project that guts a Mac Mini and adds batteries. This is a pretty detailed article with photos, and great step by step. The Mac Mini ran for just over One Hour and 50 Minutes (1:50) on the Li-ion Polymer batteries! Link.
Today Nintendo announced their super tiny 4 inches wide, 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches deep Game Boy Micro. While it’s not functionally different than the Game Boy SP, it’s a lot smaller and perhaps cheaper. I really like the Game Boy SP / Advance as a hackable platform, in issue 02 of MAKE (shipping now) we have an article about using GB’s as photo viewers, ebook readers, music players and home-brew code devices, the new micro will do all this and more- smaller. We like that. Link.
Our next audio show will be released this Friday- so if you have any questions about projects, hacks, technology, questions about anyhing– please call our voicemail today or Thursday and leave a message 206-888-MAKE. It’s not a local call, but you can also email me a sound file to pt at oreilly dot com. Listen to our previous show here to get an idea what we talk about or want us to talk about!
