USB page turner pedal for musicians

This is a project that will surely please guitarists, singers, or any other musicians that play on stage. Basically, you gut out a USB keyboard, keeping only the electronics and you build a pedal that you map to specific keys. This allows you to either scroll down a document (partitions, tablatures, lyrics, etc.) or even control a slide show or audio software.

Build a Hackintosh for under 800$

Here’s a sweet project for those who want a Mac but can’t afford it: a PC that runs Leopard. Granted, the computer won’t be as nice as a Mac, but then again, considering the performance, it’s considerably cheaper.

I’ll stick with the Apple-built computer (I’ve been lucky so far), but it’s still nice to have options.

I’m quite sure that doing this that violates OS X’s license, but then again, I have doubts that those who build that PC will even have bought it in the first place.
