Will Australians finally be able to buy video games for a change?
Posted on March 22, 2010 | No CommentsWhat do I know about Australia? Not much—I know Jim Jeffries is from there. In recent years, Australia to me has always been associated with weird censorship and video games being banned left and right. Those days may soon be behind us, as Australia seems to be inching closer toward an R18+ rating for video games. That would mean that, instead of outright banning violent games, they could only be sold to adults. Pretty shocking that it has taken until 2010 for that to be the case, but what are you gonna do?

Posted on February 18, 2010 | No Comments
Adurino seems to be everywhere these days, particularly in the world of DIY. Take for example this helicopter project. Built by a German hobbyist with an inclination for projects related to flight, this 6 rotor helicopter is fast, stable, and extremely responsive. This is obviously not this particular hobbyists first experience with helicopters; he's actually built an 8 rotor version as well.

Wii laptop hack is about 2.5 inches thick
Posted on February 15, 2010 | No Comments
Of all the consoles to stuff into a laptop form factor, the Wii’s minute size makes it as good a candidate as any. And while Wii laptop mods have been done before, this most recent one has the distinction of being relatively thin at just over 2.5 inches.

New Pwnage Tool for 3.1.3 available
Posted on February 8, 2010 | No CommentsFear not, people who jailbreak your 3GSes! PwnageTool for the latest firmware, 3.1.3, is available and ready to crack, hack, and otherwise damage your iPhone. I’ve stopped hacking my 3GS simply because too many things break after unlock. You should also keep your “SHSH hashes” backed up (basically keep the keys to previous versions lying around [...] -
Mac-in-news Morning Round-up: Touch my Bezel
Posted on February 3, 2010 | No CommentsPatents patents patents! OK. Only two. Apple may be adding touch sensitive corners to the iPad’s bezel (not in its current incarnation, though) which may allow for hot corners. These would be identified by little flags that pop up on the screen. Next? A clever little hack that may add Wii-like functionality to the Apple TV [...] -
Want to hack the MiFi? You can!
Posted on January 19, 2010 | No CommentsTeam CrunchGear, with a 1-1 record with one no-contest (accidental headbutt in the first round), used one or more MiFi units at CESthis year. The MiFi is a cute little portable Wi-Fi access point that you can use wherever you can get a cellphone signal. It takes the mobile data connection, then outputs it as plain ol'Wi-Fi, which you can then connect to from any computer. It's also pretty hackable.

Google Maps Navigation makes trip across the pond, thanks to some hackery
Posted on November 30, 2009 | No CommentsApparently us Yanks have been spoiled by the warm embrace of Google Maps Navigation, forgetting that our friends in the UK don't have the same luxury. Leave it to Electricpig to connect worlds, finding a somewhat hack-induced way to bring the app upgrade to British Android 1.6 devices. Instructions are pretty easy, so if you're game, don your DIY hat and click over.
Update: As indicated, the gang at xda-developers forum have been doing this for some time now. Consider the tutorial provided here as very straightforward and easy to follow -- anyone with an Android 1.6 device would be remiss not to give Navigation a shot now.Filed under: Cellphones

Windows Marketplace’s newest anti-piracy measures already thwarted
Posted on November 12, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Software, Windows Mobile
Yar, that was fast. Less than a day after Microsoft updated its Windows Marketplace for Mobile with new advanced anti-piracy measure, some apt xda-developers community member has managed to crack the new code -- in under two hours, according to Chainfire's posting. The hack itself won't be posted, but we're sure other astute programmers, many of more nefarious intention, will be able to have their way with it just as easy. Sad for developers who've been wanting something more secure -- better luck next update.
