Scott Walker clearly has a penchant for mixing the old with the new, and what better way to exemplify this than with a modded newspaper vending machine.  He started by buying one of the coin operated machines off eBay for $100, spruced it up and then stuffed a 17-inch LCD monitor and Mac Mini inside.  He then wrote an Applescript that is triggered by an iCal alarm, which grabs the newspaper and crops the images accordingly.  Check the video below for a quick demo.
