It began as the "World’s Most Useless Machine"--an electronic box that literally turns itself off whenever someone turns it on. The new and improved, hacked and upgraded, version adds an enraged spin.
Better than a jack-in-the-box and sure to entertain (at least some) adults as much as kids. The "World’s Most Useless Machine" crossed internet radar just a short two years ago, sparking do-it-yourself mania by tech geeks near and far. Complete part kits became available for online purchase, allowing ardent followers of the brown box to create their own version.
Now a hacker, by the code name of "Danukeru", is responsible for the machine's latest upgrade that's sure to boost those endless hours of entertainment.
Tech geeks rejoice, in the box that now demands attention: after repeated attempts to turn the machine on, followed by its "Addams Family"-esque response, the gadget now tells its user exactly when it's had enough. View the video to see the on/off switch disappear in the finale -- but the real joy may lie in those crucial moments leading up to final takeoff.
Keep counters and desktops clear for the machine's new spin on "old" technology.
