iPhones with Flappy Bird Pre Installed Going for Sale


iPhones with Flappy Bird Pre-Installed Going for Sale

Selling on eBay for as much as $100,000 USD (367,000 AED).

The game Flappy Birds skyrocketed into the charts of app stores both on iOS and Android, and somehow created a fuzz for users everywhere. The game required you to simply tap on the screen to make the bird fly through obstacles but it is somehow met with frustration since most users can barely even get a score of one. The gameplay made it a trending topic on Twitter for days, along with everyone sharing their own scores and achievements.

Even with the game pulling in about $50,000 on ad revenues per day, its maker, Dong Nguyen has had enough of it. Mentioning that "he can't take [the game's popularity] it anymore," he pulled out the game from the Apple App Store and on Google Play, so if you haven't downloaded it, you're out of luck.

Now, one user on eBay has decided to sell a used iPhone 5S with the game pre-installed. The catch? He is selling it for $99,900 USD (367,000 AED). At the time of writing, the phone now has 74 bids and a quick look at the seller's profile shows he has gotten positive feedbacks previously.

eBay tells us though that it may not ship in the United Arab Emirates, in case you are interested.

Mantis 9 1 CNC Mill

The Mantis 9.1 design is a radical departure from version 8 and earlier. Most notably, the part count has been almost halved! The current design has 13 parts, all of which can be made with a handsaw and a drill press. Also, I’ve traded away my alignment free exactly-constrained design for extra stiffness. Several unsuccessful attempts to eradicate the last of the slop in the Z axis on version 8 lead me back to the world of over-constrained parallel rods. My previous attempts at an over-constrained design (versions 1-5) all failed because I was unable to make the rods sufficiently parallel to avoid jamming. What to do? [ ]

Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram

This is a Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram. A single op amp-one of four contained in the popular LM324-is operating in a variable pulse width, free-running square wave oscillator circuit, with its timed output driving two transistors that control the on/ off cycle of the tape-drive motor. The Oscillator` s positive feedback path holds the secret to the successful operation of the variable on/ off timing signal.   Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram The two diodes and pulse width potentiometer R8 allows the setting of the on and off time, without affecting the oscillator`s operating frequency. One diode allows only the discharge current to flow through it and the section of R8 that it`s connected to. The other diode, and its portion of R8, sets the charge time for the timing capacitor, C3. Since the recorder`s speed is controlled by the precise off/on timing of the oscillator, a simple voltage-regulator circuit (Ql, R3, and D4) is included.  Connecting the spe...

Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588

Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588    The TDA8588 is a multiple voltage regulator combined with four independent audio power amplifiers configured in bridge tied load with diagnostic capability. The output voltages of all regulators except regulators 2 and 3 can be controlled via the I2C-bus. However, regulator 3 can be set to 0 V via the I2C-bus. The output voltage of regulator 2 (microcontroller supply) and the maximum output voltage of regulator 3 (mechanical digital and microcontroller supplies) can both be either 5 V or 3.3 V depending on the type number. The maximum output voltages of both regulators are fixed to avoid any risk of damaging the microcontroller that may occur during a disturbance of the I 2C-bus. The amplifier diagnostic functions give information about output offset, load, or short-circuit. Diagnostic functions are controlled via the I2C-bus. The TDA8588 is protected against short-circuit, over-temperature, open ground and open VP ...
