There’s a load of great tech news happening out there each day, and, unfortunately, we just can’t cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw this day on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
- Justin Whitlock builds accurately detailed, miniature arcade cabinets, and he’s promoting the $20 to $30 creations with photos that depict toy figurines hanging at the arcade.

Joes supposed to play Removing them from the original packaging would absolutely destroy their monetary value. [From: Street Level]

- A new iPhone app known as ‘Exit Strategy NYC’ supposedly informs subway commuters about which train automobile to board in order to disembark at a strategic spot on an upcoming platform. The next stage in Apple’s dastardly scheme to transform humans into sheeple is complete. [From: Core 77]
