iPod Nano Recovery Mode
After discovering James Whelton’s SpringBoard.plist hack for the 6G iPod Nano, Steve Throughton-Smith decided to play around with his Nano to see what else he might find.

By booting up his iPod Nano with a modified SpringBoard.plist file hacker James Whelton was able to remove an app from his screen and replace it with a blank space (Video after the break). Now this isn’t quite a jailbreak like hack, but it is a small start in the right direction. Today we can [...]

California Scientists Design Working Tricorder
Scientists at the University of California have created what just might be a working tricorder like the ones used in the Star Trek TV series.
