The fourth Angry Birds game is here. Angry Birds Space's gameplay is so new (yet still fun) that reviewers are saying it's the righful sequel the to the first Angry Birds Game.
Instead of shooting birds in arches, you now shoot birds straight through space. Birds get caught in the gravity of planets - which allows the birds to traverse until it reaches that snorting pig. This allows even more complex physics: like making birds drop like comets, objects hurtling towards pigs, or the pigs themselves falling into a planet fatally.
The game isn't that expensive. It's free (albeit ad supported) for Android users, 99 cents for non-HD iOS. It gets expensive for devices with larger screens. It costs $2.99, $4.99, $5.95 for the iPad, Mac, and PC respectively.

This thing measures 250x200x100 blocks. By no means did he do this fully manual, he must have written helper code to design, duplicate, and link portions.
Someone should build a Minecraft CPU soon.
This video from National Geographic shows you how to make a room sized camera obscura, which is basically an optical projection of a scene through a hole.
Someone had the time to make a laser marker sing Still Alive from Portal (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Keep watching! You'll realize something by the middle of the video. It seems that he uses lasers of different intensities to create different tones.
It took quite a while to get it this far. Laser markers weren't really meant for making music and there are a few parts out of time but I'm sure GLaDOS would approve.
Back To The Future 2 predicts Michael Jackson to still be alive in 2015.
Professional PIC programmers are expensive. If you have limited budget, you can instead build your own out of less expensive parts. Note that these circuits will need either a parallel port or a serial port.
