The Computer Factory

So this is where our computers are made! Who knew?

In my inbox

For those of my readers who don't read English, here's what it says: Hello: I must say, I'm quite upset. I have been using images from your website on my website for a long time now and suddenly they are gone, and I am concerned. I am using my website to build up my business which is not easy and you changed the location or deleted them or something. My concern is that if you do not upload the images again I might have to contact my lawyer as I am using these images for the purpose of advertising and this sudden change without warning means I have to find where you have moved them to and get them working again. Why would you do such a thing? I am an honest business man and small business like mine never get respect. I hope you realize it took me a long time to find images I liked. Now I have to find your images again. Please put them back right away. I don't think you want me to call my lawyer about this. Pleas contact me either at this email or at --- to resolve this matter. Sincerely, LOL!!

A Computer to Die For

Need a new mouse?

Foot Mouse Put simply, the Foot Mouse is the strangest we’ve seen. One pedal controls movement while the other is for the clicks. Pedals are made from an injection molded plastic shell and feature a “360-degree, pressure sensitive mechanism”. CP-1 USB Spy Mouse Keep a close ear on your computer with the CP-1. Hidden inside this otherwise normal looking mouse is a condenser microphone - capable of picking up on any nearby conversations. It measures 53 x 95 x 35 mm and weighs just 75g. Powerglove Mouse Zerosign managed to convert an old Nintendo Powerglove into a fully functioning computer mouse after countless hours of wiring and hacking. AMG Helmet Optical Mouse SolidAlliance Japan presents an innovative new wireless optical mouse with a design inspired by Jean Alesi’s AMG-Mercedes Helmet. NES Controller Optical Mouse Most optical mice are boring, not this one. To make your own, you’ll need an NES controller, optical mouse, dremel tool, lots of glue, soldering gun, and four-five hours. Mus2 Cursor Mouse Breaking completely from the typical design for computer mice, Art. Lebedev’s Mus2 is unique to say the least. This cursor-shaped optical mouse has 800 dpi optical sensor resolution, up to 2300 fps frame speed, and is compatible with all Windows/Mac OS X systems. Zero Tension Mouse Looking more like a joystick, this USB mouse features the basic functions (scroll wheel, right/left mouse buttons), digital optical tracking, and comes in medium/large sizes. It measures 4.5 x 3.4 x 5.6 in. and is compatible with MAC/PC computers. The Minty Optical Mouse To make your own “Minty Mouse”, you’ll need one Altoids tin, an optical mouse, dremel tools, epoxy glue, a mini-hack saw, and around 4 hours of free time

How does your mouse really work?

Zombie Kitten

Can you guess what this is?

In september 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive. The monthly charge for 305 RAMAC was $3,200. This is what the inside of it looked like. The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data. Here's one being transported. Makes you appreciate your 4GB USB drive, doesn't it?
