Very cool stuff if you don't mind voiding your warranty.

Gasp! AT&T’s “Unlimited” data plan for the iPad 3G to actually be unlimited
Posted on April 7, 2010 | No CommentsI’m trying to keep the iPad-related posts here on MobileCrunch down to a minimum, because I figure you’re getting enough of it shoved in your face by other blogs, Twitter, and your mother after she saw it mentioned on the news and wanted to bond with you. With that said, this one gets a pass [...] -
Is the Nexus One’s display inferior to the Droid’s?
Posted on April 6, 2010 | No CommentsScience! Big words! These are two things we like around these parts, even if we don’t really understand them. When I look at the Nexus One’s display, I can’t help but slap my knee and let out some sort of proclamation of joy, like “Gee Wiz!”, or “Well, I’ll be!”, or “Fwaaaaarg.” Some people, however, [...] -

HP Slate priced, dated, and spec’d?
Posted on March 19, 2010 | No Comments
The HP Slate has been showing up in all sorts of places since it's CES 2010 debut. But we really never knew much about it. We didn't know what CPU or GPU it was running, along with if it had 3G, GPS, webcams. But a Spanish site seemingly has all the answers and we like what we hear.

Nice knowing you, AdBlock, but it’s time to move on
Posted on March 17, 2010 | No CommentsToday's a very important day in the history of me using the Internet, a history that began in late 1996. Ladies and gentleman, I have completely uninstalled AdBlock. I do believe that makes me a man in the Jewish faith, so I'll be expecting presents from all of you.

The Astro A30 headset is for the rich or insane
Posted on March 16, 2010 | 1 Comment
How much are you willing to spend on a so-called portable gaming headset? $50? $100? How about $150? Anyone? What if I told you that it would also work with your computer as well as your iPhone, PSP, and Xbox Live account? Still no one? Yeah, that's what I thought.

The Slow-Mo Secrets of the iPad
Posted on March 8, 2010 | No Comments
Neil Curtis has a lot of time on his hands. Rather than just accepting the wool being pulled over our eyes by the Man, he decided to get totally Zapruder on the new iPad commercial and found all sorts of problems with the video, including a number of messy little transitions (the main actor, for example, turns from female to male) and UI interactions (items still moving after they've been released).
If Apple expects us to accept the world as it appears to their sinister ad team, they have another thing coming. Neil and others like him will crack their lies wide open, whether they want it or not. Good thing Apple didn't try a moon landing or we'd have their heads.

Popular Science archives are now online
Posted on March 4, 2010 | No Comments
Back in the old days, when people got their tech news from stacks of paper stapled together called "magazines," Popular Science was a nerd's dream. It was full of all sorts of exciting things, had less nudity in it than Omni (Note: This is not a good thing but your parents would buy it for you), and let you dream of jet packs. This is not to say that that old stalwart PopSci isn't still around, but back in the old days it was our only lifeline to the world of high tech.

RealNetworks settles RealDVD lawsuit: Has to cough up $4.5 million, stop supporting the software
Posted on March 4, 2010 | No CommentsRight around the time the world's financial markets started to collapse, back in 2008, RealNetworks, the folks behind RealPlayer, released RealDVD. It was a short-lived piece of software that made making DVD movie backups fairly painless—too painless for Hollywood, which immediately took RealNetworks to court, claiming all sorts of copyright infringement hokum. That's all in the past now, for RealNetworks has settled with the six "major" Hollywood studios to the sum of $4.5 million. Ouch.
