I'd rather not need a computer at home and work (and all the syncing issues that entails). Currently I work from two fixed locations and also from home. If I can just have a fixed screen, keyboard and mouse there and take this around w

Really like the concept - lovely visualisation. My comments: - The URL length limit is way too low! If I want to test a specific asset that's delivered by CDN there is no way to do that - The colours seem inverted (I'd expect green for fast

I love that you staged the photos by propping a phone on top of two Pibows, I'm one of the guys who makes those in Sheffield, UK :)

You'll probably find that it does trickle charge (though doesn't own up to it), but just barely. Your PC likely isn't delivering enough current via USB to charge an iPad. (I think it needs a 1A supply and the USB spec only requires 500mA or

Nice! I saw that when it was featured :) You might be interested in the custom PCB we're putting together to offload all the input, sound, power, and lighting requirements!

We're currently running RetroPie on it which includes MAME. Essentially you load up whatever you want, the Picade is just a cabinet, arcade controls, amp + speakers, and screen :)
