Vintage Console Computer Mods - SEGA Saturn Laptop Revives an Old Gaming Classic (TrendHunter.com)

RockstarSEGA Saturn Laptop Revives an Old Gaming Classic

One of the latest console mods comes from c_mon who designed the SEGA Saturn Laptop, which should bring back plenty of nostalgia for those who have been gaming since their hands could hold a controller.

The now defunct SEGA Saturn has now been brought back to life in the form of a laptop. So what are some of the changes done to the retro console? Designer cs_mon has added a small 5” Sony PSOne as a flip-up screen, which is definitely something new. There’s also a large wooden case that encompasses the SEGA Saturn Laptop that features Sonic the Hedgehog engraved on either side. The disc is now visibly spinning and there’s even blue fluorescent light on the side. An additional cooling fan has been added inside to prevent the system from overheating.

Liquidating Laptop Apps - The Shake-To-Undo App Lets You Erase Mistakes With a Simple Shake (TrendHunter.com)

SuperstarThe Shake-To-Undo App Lets You Erase Mistakes With a Simple Shake

If you see a Mac owner shaking their laptop vigorously, assume they are making use of the new Shake-to-Undo Mac app. The app was created by Nate Stedman and functions exactly like the iPhone’s shake to undo function, erasing anything users are currently working on with just a simple shake. The app makes use of the Mac’s accelerometer (the device that detects sudden changes in speed to protect one’s hard drive from damage during falls) as a sort of hacked CMD Z key.

The Shake-to-Undo Mac app is fun to use, yet slightly dangerous. Still, it is nice to see designers blurring the line between Apple’s mobile devices and computers. The Shake-to-Undo Mac app is available to download for free now.
