[MUSIC] Hey guys, my name is Stephen Beacham and here's what's happening this week on CNet's Crave Blog. [MUSIC] A couple of Minecraft players have built working hard drives within the game. I'm not going to sit here [MUSIC] Sit there and pretend to understand how they did this, but according to Reddit and Imgur user smelly string, who built a drive that can store one kilobyte of data. Red stone is used to power pistons that simulate the true and false values of binary. To store data on a computer, you must use binary code. Binary code is basically a way of storing data using 1's. And 0s. On my hard drive I use solid blocks to store a 1. And clear blocks to store a 0. Minecraft player the0jj, also built a drive that can store 4 kilobytes of data. And published screenshots of the drive and some instructions on how to build the device on Imgur. Read more in the Crave blog. United States of America has a big problem with guns, so why not take old, unused guns and turn them into something positive? Like a robotic flute instrument, for example. San Francisco-based artist Constantine Zlatev is doing just that. Using Arduino microprocessors in a raspberry pi computer board. He is repurposing old shotguns and turning them in to flute instruments that play music based on the annual rise and fall of U.S. arms exports between 1960 and 2009. For the last gun he designed, every fall in exports, a cheerful tune is played with an upbeat melody [MUSIC] For every rise in arms sales, the music is more somber. Check out the entire gun flute video in the crave blog post.
