NoseDial App
We have all done it. Drive down the highway with a coffee in hand, the other hand fumbling with the iPhone trying to call someone. Alas, we are now saved by a simple $0.99 app that will let us make that call with our nose! NoseDial is easily is the weirdest iPhone app I have [...]
Handheld Gamecube Mod
Sure, we have seen our fair share of game console mods here at tech.nocr.at, but never one so shinny (just look at all those finger prints!). The sweetest part of this whole mod is how Techknott hid the optical drive behind the flip-up LCD screen. The whole mod looks comfortable to use, just wish the [...]
Sucker Alert: $1200 Mouse
Don’t get me wrong, a good solid mouse it a must, especially if your a hardcore gamer, but $1200? I don’t think so. The ID Mouse from Intelligent design looks great and I’m sure it’s comfortable (at $1200 no wonder they won’t send us a review unit), but the last thing I want to do [...]
Rock Band For iPhone Now Available
You can now head over to the iTunes App Store and pick up Rock Band for your iPhone for $10. One of the most anticipated games for Apple’s mobile gaming device lacks all of the hype that was built around it. I decided to dish out the $10 today to play it and besides suffering [...]
Pole Position On Your iPhone
Ahh, the many rolls of quarters I dumped into this wonderful game at my local arcade (was more like a laundry mat with a crap load of video games). Now all of that fun can be relived in the palm of your hand. The iPhone version of the hugely popular games offers three methods of [...]
Lift Fingerprints Like The Pros
Considering all the crime dramas that I watch on TV I think I would make a great crime scene investigator. Run a Q-tip on some blood, spray some cool looking mist on a carpet, insert a hair into a fancy machine, and way a gun around. Doesn’t sound so hard. I suspect that I’m not [...]
SNES On Your iPhone
This is exactly what the world needs, a SNES emulator on your iPhone that would not only require some serious crammed gameplay for your fingers but would also eventually wear-out the lower part of your precious touch screen. After all you will need to make Mario jump quite a bit to beat the game.
Disintegrator Shoots 40 Rubber Bands Per Second
Many a days I sit around the office popping people with rubber bands. You know, just like you did as a kid. Wrap the rubber band around your index finger and thumb and let it launch. Imagine launching 40 of them a second. Composed of 479 pieces, the Disintegrator shoots 40 rubber bands per second [...]
Cheap DYI Laser Cutter
I’m been trying to source decent desktop laser cutter for the Lab with Leo TV show that I’m on. The biggest problem is finding anything that would be a reasonable cost for most consumers. Decent desktop laser solutions can easily run you into the thousands and they are big and ugly. Thanks to the wonderful [...]
Duck Hunt on iPhone, without a hack
Just a few days ago we talked about hacking up your iPhone so that you could run an NES emulator on it. Now super cool developer Deron Dantzler has created a full featured version of the great NES classic Duck Hunt that runs on the Safari browser on your iPhone. Instead of a light gun, [...]
New iPod won’t work with Linux
Seems like the kids at Infinite Loop have decided to stomp out any third party applications messing with the iPod, including Linux. The iTunes DB now contains a couple of encrypted hashes that validate the information in the music list; this essentially fingerprints the iPod/iTunes pairing and prevents apps from modifying the DB without access [...]
It’s time to Evolve
Ok, admit it. You have searched for your name in Google, Technorati, or egoSurf.org just to see how you were ranked. You may have even gone to the extent of using RSS feed searches or services such as MonitorThis to keep tabs on your name/handle. Or, you might be a Penetration Tester who is in [...]
Multi-Touch Macbook
Patent filings usually aren’t that big a deal, but when Apple steps up to the plate with goofy and innovative designs people generally pay attention. The latest filing for Apple to become public is the “Wide touchpad on a portable computer” (It’s a continuation of an earlier patent filed in early 2004). Much like the [...]
Linux Distros That Don’t Suck
By Frank on May 15, 2009 · 23 Comments
I, much like every other hardcore geek on the face of the earth, have multiple linux based distro iso’s laying around. Some of them are for testing and some of them contain tools that I use on a daily basis. I have had many people email me about the best distro out there. The only [...]
