Posted on May 17, 2010 | No CommentsIn a volatile Android ecosystem where bigger and better phones pop up every week, your Nexus One might be feeling a little obsolete. Frankly, there's hardly a better way to cheer it up than by installing an operating system that's a little more its speed. In the finest DOSBox tradition, one gentleman recently imbued his Googlephone with Windows 3.11, by far our favorite 1993 Microsoft OS. Realizing the futility of getting it to do anything -- ah, memories -- he set about crafting a step-by-step guide for you to do the same. If you care to give his misery company, you'll find instructions at our source link; if not, don your rose-tinted glasses and peep the video after the break.

Posted on January 22, 2010 | No Comments

This deal is good today, only, though. Woot.com is selling the Ion VCR 2 PC for $30 – it costs $50 and up elsewhere.

Posted on September 29, 2009 | No CommentsMy sincerest apologies for not putting this on here sooner, but I've been busying Warsong Gulch. Anyhow, here we have one of the funniest men on Planet Earth (along with Louis CK and Ron Bennington), Larry David, in the opening scene of this week's episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, dealing with something that we've all had to deal with: opening that damn plastic shell that surrounds our electronics.

Palm: Prithee, good sirs, speak not of Palm Pre tethering
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No Comments
In an example of rolling over in the name of "good relationships," the Pre Dev Wiki has shut down their tethering page because "Sprint could get angry."
