I felt bad seeing Agg all alone on the front page so I thought I should contribute. That being said i have a good reason as to why I haven't been posting lately.
For those who are about to take ownership of a new Xbox 360, a firmware hack is out allowing users to boot using a backed-up copy of their game. Speaking of hacks and workarounds, everyone probably knows by now that Windows XP has been booted on an Intel Mac. Quite a nice way to win over $13,000 for hacking an operating system.
Windows Vista has been delayed until January 2007. I cant really say I'm surprised, obviously Microsoft wants to get the new operating system "just right" so that they wont have to release service packs, updates and patches. While we are on the topic of exciting new software, Battlefield 2142's existence has been confirmed by EA with the release of a trailer.
There's a new video player out with the amazing dimensions of 38mm x 55mm x 8mm. The nano channel will be available in the summer in capacities up to 1Gb (for around ¥17,000) and can play back MPEG-1/2 QuickTime ASF WMV, MP3 and WMA. Those crazy japanese are also bringing out a robot that can carry (old and frail) humans.
I was a little bored on the weekend so I decided to upgrade my home cinema. Yeah. I wish.
I'm sure that at least some of you would have a camera phone. For those that do, you might be interested in a little gadget called Phlash. "his nifty little accessory attaches to the back of your cell phone and emits an intense pulse of light when taking pictures. It’s available now for $30 at select retailers.
For those who just don't have camera phone, but do have unripe avocados in the fridge that you accidentally cut open, there seems to be some sort of forum that has some suggestions of what to do when all seems to be lost. Oh, I also found out that if you get ink in your jeans (stupid university) the alcohol in hairspray actually lifts the ink from the fabric!
There's a new firefox extension out that allows you to create and run macros inside the browser for all you little mischievous monkeys.
