DEFCON is the worlds largest annual hacker convention, and to prove just how hardcore they are, they handed out Press Badges with micro controllers and WIFI and opened the floor to see who could make it do the coolest things possible.

Here, Meredith Patterson shows off her hack where she tapped into one of the board's Analog-to-Digital converters, made it accept an audio input, and turned the front LEDs into a spectrum analyzer! If you don't think this is hard/cool, keep in mind that none of the hardware was designed for this and it was all completed in about 48 hours!!

The rap song is actually a poem written by the Badge's designer about the cool DEFCON badges, and is appropriately named "Badges". Through the social power of World of Warcraft, it turned out they knew a rapper (The Brothers Grim) who just happened to be in the studio and recorded a rap version of the poem.

For more info and to download the song (free & legal) check out:

Even Star Trek fans must admit that the series solves nearly every problem by reversing the polarity of something-mer-other. Stargate pays homage to ST while adding a little critical analysis... Not that they're really a series to talk...

Andrew Napolitano explains how the patriot act has done more to strangle our freedoms than to protect us.

Oddly enough, he is now an analyst for FOX news and is the author of the book "A Nation of Sheep".

Euphoria has created a character animation system that doesn't require an animator to generate all possible movements of a character. Combining AI, Physics, and Biomechanics, characters react realistically to any situation thrown at them, as shown in this demo.

This is the animation tech behind GTA4 and other upcoming games.

The jettison motor is a solid rocket motor designed to separate the Launch Abort System from the crew module on a normal launch and to safely propel the abort system away from the crew module during an emergency."
