Why don’t you skip (or postpone) your trip to the bar on Saturday night and head down to the Free Geek headquarters and hack your router. I’ve got a Linksys router that has been sitting in a box since I got my Airport Extreme and I’ve been meaning to hack it so come join the…
Erica’s at it again with a cool app for customizing your carrier name text on the go. She’s created “Make it mine” which let’s you change the text on the iPhone itself without having to hack any files. This is great for people like me that was annoyed with the “Rogers Wireless” carrier name that…
On Saturday, I attended the first MobileCamp Vancouver, held at Workspace which makes my second visit there in two days…if I didn’t already have an office, this is where I would set up shop. It really is a cool place. There was lots of things to talk about during the event – too many to…
Decided I couldn’t resist opening the little door on the back of the eeePC and upgrade the ram (now at 1gb from the stock 512mb) and the mini pci-e port. There was some debate as to whether or not the port would actually be there or not….appears to be in mine! Have pretty much decided…
Well, shortly after selling my Powerbook, I discovered and acquired an Asus eeePC – pronounced ‘E-pc’ – the three e’s stand for “Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, Easy to Play”. I’ve only had it a few days and can safely say that it has exceeded my expectations. It’s been fun taking this $399 wonder…
I guess I did something wrong. Oh well, back to Debian until I can sort it out. At least a system restore only take about 5 minutes.
I figured it would be a good time to post an update on the current iPhone firmware and application status. First of all, if you don’t already have an iPhone, or if you have the 1.1.1 version firmware (the latest as of this post), then you probably won’t be able to unlock it to use…
Well, it didn’t take long for a free version of the software unlock for the iPhone to be released by the iPhone Dev Team. As I mentioned previously, it’s not for the those that are afraid of the command line but expect that to change as more people get their hands on the code in…
Yesterday, Gizmodo posted a video (no embeded version) of them using the iPhoneSimFree unlock software. It seems pretty convincing that at least the software unlock application exists and it’s pretty straightforward to apply the unlock. Engadget also weighed in on this latest chapter although they seem to point out that this is a demo of…
Wow…what a bombshell this morning! The new ‘iDevices’ are pretty impressive….and the implications are pretty far reaching. The biggest thing for me was the price cut of the iPhone from $599 to $399 (USD) for the 8gb iPhone. This has to be one of the fastest price cuts in Apple history for a new product…
