Since the creation of clocks, they have come a long way in both the working and design. You can pretty much find any type of clock that you could desire for these days. Whether you have a liking for glow in the dark Mickey Mouse watches like Robert Langdon or something studded with a filthy amount of diamonds, you can get it.

Those who have trouble reading the multiple hands of old-type watches can get over their embarrassment by opting for a digital clock that tells you the time in numbers, but how about getting yourself a clock that will actually read out the time for you. MAKE subscriber Doug was inspired to make himself the DIY Word Clock after he found one on the site and this clock could seriously make the dyslexic uncomfortable.

Instead of showing numbers of circling hands, the watch reveals the time in letters. Doug’s remake is slightly better than the original, plus it even has his name (and probably that of his girlfriend’s) on it. So, are you eady to make your own?

If those floating cubic cases and king tut inspired PC casemod fails to interest you then how about keeping fingers on straight geometrics and bring home a spherical PC Mod. Seemingly a travelling Pac-Man, the Orb is an out product of modder’s wish to develop a Pacman or motorcycle-helmet that can open a screen driven by a motor. Doing away the conventional forms of LEDs and windows, its visor is formed using two quarter-spheres, one slightly smaller than the other. Jump over for video:

They are adhesive together at a distance of 5mm of space that supports water cooling system. Great job NQ! The standing PC on its own legs seems to have come from future to break few heads and would guzzle things the minute it staggers ahead.

Engineers working at Eyebeam, a New York arts and technology center, are radically engaged in cutting down the cost involved in making of multitouch tables by offering them open-source. Schematics for the Cubit, a multi-touch tabletop exhibit are accessible online for individuals interested in designing their own Microsoft Surface at a cost less than one tenth of the Surface’s price. Called Cubit, this boxy tabletop comes with a clear surface.

To get started, the proud would-be owner of the multi-touch table needs to have a webcam with an infrared filter and a small image projector. All you need to do is to plug in the webcam, install the Cubit software and turn on the projector and start moving. Eyebeam guys Addie Wagenknetch and Stefan Hechenberger share that they were liberating the Cubit to highlight the visibility that anyone can build a multitouch table.
In addition to designs and online software’s, the duo would be selling DIY kits featuring instructions and parts.

Lately, the Cubit was exhibited 0at the Maker Faire together with handful of other open-source multi-touch projects. Initially open-source focused only upon software but with time DIYers like Eyebeam andBug Labs are now taking the attitude into the dominion of hardware as well.
