Just last week, I reached into my misc. electronics crap box (Where I throw everything when I'm too lazy to sort it back into its proper resistor/capacitor/etc. bin), and my hand has been assimilating shit left and right ever since.]]>Aug 12th 2008 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/Aug 13th 2008 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/

I would have loved them when I was a bit younger. now I can make stuff easily enough. still, probably great for kids.
(and don't down my post because I use Lego over Legos, the Lego company says to call their bricks lego.)]]>Aug 12th 2008 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/

Every proper noun (such as a company name) has a plural, including the Legos of this world. Its additional use as an adjective doesn't restrict its original use a noun...]]>Aug 13th 2008 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/

When I was young I played with loads and loads of lego! :) See it even sounds better!

I built a protocol droid at that age, sadly it turned against me with the help of a smal R2 unit and a band of rebel scum.]]>Aug 13th 2008 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/
But I'd love to get my hands on these things... I could spend hours upon hours tinkering with them, building stuff and then destroying it to build something else, and also building stuff with my four year old niece who's mind's sharp as a whip and who would love this sort of thing.]]>Aug 13th 2008 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/Aug 12th 2008 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/Aug 12th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/I dumped the box of littleBits on the table and they were all stuck together in a big ball because of the magnets and all. After a few seconds, the light at the end of the circuit started to glow brighter and brighter and the electric motor started to turn faster and faster. So I watched the light get brighter and the motor turn faster until I got bored and pushed the tangle of electronics off the edge of the table back into the box.
Later, I wondered what I had accidentally created. It created power with no source of power...
So I dumped the box onto the table to see what would be created. I'm not sure what it was, but it called me a "blood orange" and ran out the back door.
Just great! That cost me $150.00! What a waste... Customer Service was a joke! They thought I was an Apple FanBoy!

That's respectable. I just find it annoying to see a first post when I'm expecting something intellectual and worth contributing to articles I find interesting. And then there are people like broli, who fervently defend themselves and others who post equivalent trash. I just have to put him in his place or else he'll never learn, however, it seems like a lost cause with broli: he must know he's wrong, but he refuses to admit it or change his ways.]]>Aug 12th 2008 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/littlebits-are-like-legos-for-circuit-boards/

It was made or at least put out in the US by Raytheon...you know the people who make radars & missiles. I'm not sure I would take on Raytheon in a patent infringement fight, they could bomb you into the stoneage or cook you alive with microwaves.



Since nobody is going to o believe Raytheon put out a toy I will supply a link http://www.retrothing.com/2007/03/electronic_domi.html

I still have it with the manuals, the original packaging got lost I think. It probably still works too, there's not a lot to go wrong. When my son is old enough I'll dig it out.]]>Aug 13th 2008 4:16PM
