11 titanic fan-made Lego starships that will blow you away

Fantastic as the official Lego play sets are, nothing beats the creations built by hardcore enthusiasts. Over the years we've seen a ton of impressive fan-made Lego starships that were either too big or too heavy for their own good. After scouring the Internet high and low, we concluded that these 11 are — what we think — are the biggest and baddest Lego starships in the universe.

Li-Fi: 10 ways visible-spectrum wireless will make your life better

Li-Fi — that just-over-the-horizon wireless technology which could transform your everyday LED lighting fixtures into 10 Gbps wireless modems — has a lot of people talking these days. With a commercial product promised later this year and the tech already in beta, we might all be trippin' the lamplight fantastic real soon. But other than really, really awesome movie streaming speeds, what do we care? According to its inventor Harald Haas, Li-Fi offers a bundle of niche applications that regular Wi-Fi just doesn't measure up to. Here are a few of those unique benefits.

View like no other: Rooms photographed as if they had no floors

German photographer Michael H. Rohde's photo series "From Below" boggles the mind. Not with light painting or animated photos, but with perspective. Objects appear weightless and even the neatest interior design becomes chaotic when seen viewed from below.

Brother's new speedy, pretty inkjet is a printer to get excited about

Dull and — dare we say — usually ugly, we don't buy printers for their looks. We buy them for their ability to print, scan and copy as fast and painless as possible so we can get on with our lives. Brother's new Business Smart MFC-J4510DW printer challenges drab conventional printer design with a minimal and unassuming body, ultra fast color printing thanks to a landscape printing process and a touchscreen that actually works.

Gallery: Artist combines hundreds of light paintings into trippy mosaics

Being the fans of technology that we are, we're not easily impressed by any ol' brush painting. "Paint with light or go home," I always say. Brian Matthew Hart took light painting to the next level by creating these gigantic mosaics out of hundreds of individual exposures. The results, as you can see, are spectacular, and they look way better when you see them at a larger size.

Glimpses of the future at Siggraph's Emerging Technologies exhibit

It's entirely possible that you've never heard of Siggraph. It's a fairly specialized conference held by the Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques. What that means is that it's all about cool ways of messing with computers and electronics, and the dedicated Emerging Technologies space is stuffed full of some of the weirdest computer interfaces that we've ever experienced.

Pictured: 7 weird and wonderful custom PCs from Quakecon '12

Quakecon's headlining event is the Bring-Your-Own-Computer (BYOC) LAN party. It's the largest annual LAN party in North America. This year's event brought nearly 3,000 machines together to share a two-gigabit connection in the Dallas Hilton Anatole. Besides the good games and good people, the BYOC also brings out the more creative types. There were a few amazing computer case-mods at this year's show. On the final day of the show, sponsor Modders-Inc brought seven incredible mods together, and we got to get up close with the one-of-a-kind machines.

Gallery: The beautiful and bizarre landscapes of Mars

Mars is an alien place. In some ways, it's a lot like Earth: there are processes (both geologic and atmospheric) that are continually reshaping the Martian surface. These processes are much, much different on Mars, however, leading to landscapes unlike anything you've ever seen.

Tiny sleeping cabin hotel puts a new slant on its rooms

Are you old enough to remember when some motels had lots of individual cabins, instead of an anonymous concrete building? An Austrian design company called Studio WG3 wants to revive that approach, with this tiny sleeping cube called the Hypercubus.

Gallery: London lights up its fiery cauldron at the 2012 Olympics

It's an Olympics tradition to have torch runners carry the "motherflame" and light up the Olympic cauldron. In 2008, Beijing's cauldron resembled a scroll. On Friday, London showed off its cauldron; invoking a dandelion-like design with 204 petals, one for each participating nation.

NASA's 5 favorite images from Landsat, Earth's eye in the sky

The first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972, and last Monday marked the program's 40th anniversary.

What celebrities would look like as everyday people

New York photographer Danny Evans could have made a killing cooking up images for tabloids. He recently started a project whereby he takes some of today's biggest names — such as Jay-Z and Beyonce, seen above — and edits them to look like "they were never famous." In the words of Sammy Sosa, "It's so real!"

Ultra-sleek McLaren JetSet missed its calling as a flying car

We can't help but feel that designer Marianna Merenmies is teasing us a little bit with her McLaren JetSet concept. After all, don't those rear wheel housings look suspiciously like wings? We think so, but apparently Merenmies is after a super light, super sleek one-seater city car for the world of tomorrow.

Gallery: Man-made objects mimic nature's swarms

When you think of swarms, you think of bees, ants or other such things like bats or schools of fish. You wonder what makes them move in such wild synchronized dances. They are called self-organizing or "emergent systems".

Gorgeous Faraday e-bike embraces its electric side

Sure, you can slap a battery-driven motor on the gears of a bicycle and call it an e-bike, but that's ignoring all of the other great stuff you can cram in there once you go electric. The Faraday Porteur, designed by Adam Vollmer and currently rising on Kickstarter, is one e-bike that's not afraid to let its electric side shine.
