The Internet Archive is a treasure trove for software geeks. In recent months, the site has hosted everything from GIFs from Geocities to Macintosh games from the 80s. Its latest blast from the past is an entire section dedicated to AOL CD-ROMs.
We're still about a month away from the first Essential Phone hitting the market, but there may be a problem. According to documents provided to Android Police, well-known mobile accessory maker Spigen has trademarked the Essential name for certain a...

Say what you will about the trend of gaming soundtracks being released on vinyl (I've already chimed in), but the upside is that the business move can expose classic tracks to a new audience. Take the brutally difficult Ninja Gaiden, for example. The...

Streaming music barely edged out CD sales last year, but it's not even going to be a close fight in 2015. The RIAA has published its mid-year sales stats, and streaming already accounts for 32 percent of the US music industry's revenue at just ove...
You can buy speciallyconstructedprisms that turn a mobile device – or any small display for that matter – into a hologram-like projector. But you can save a few bucks by making one out of a CD case instead.
The materials needed for this hack are commonly found, and it involves simple cutting and taping so anyone can do it. Mrwhosetheboss actually got the idea from fellow YouTuber American Hacker, but the former’s instructions are much clearer.
As mentioned in the video, the display will work only with videos or images made specifically for such a prism. I’m not sure if Holho’s mobileapps will work with it, but they’re free so you might as well give them a shot.
A few years ago, we saw a LEGO contraption that threw compact discs a fair distance. It was cool, but YouTuber JZSlenker‘s CD-spewing machine is a legit weapon.
The contraption is based on an angle grinder and what appears to be a custom made arm that can feed discs at great speed.
I’d love to do that to my copy of Front Mission Evolved.
