Review: eLocity A7 Android Tablet

I’ve been playing with this surprisingly fast Android tablet for about a week now and so far I am impressed. Stream TV’s eLocity Android 2.2 powered tablet might not be an iPad killer, but it sure puts up a good fight. The solid 7-inch tablet is powered by NVIDIA’s dual core Tegra 2 processor, comes [...]

Open Source HTPC’s That Don’t Suck

In our next installment of Distros That Don’t Suck we will be looking at open source HTPC software. Sure you can load up VLC or even use Windows Media player, but having a dedicated solution with a UI that is made for a TV is a lot easier and pleasing. I’ve left the PVR-centric software [...]

The awesome heat-seeking Nerf gun won Make’s Gadget Freak Design Contest. The mod consists of a Nerf Vulcan Blaster hooked up to a few Devantech TPA81 Thermal Sensors and is controlled by an ATMega 168 processor. The unit acts exactly as it should, it tracks you via your heat signature and fires nerf bullets at [...]

A New Commodore 64?

The original Commodore 64 was a complete game changer in the personal computer realm. No personal computer of it’s time could come close to it. Countless games, dedicated users and the most innovative demo scene made it, IMO, the greatest computer of all time. I cut my teeth on one, learned to code in assembly [...]

Hackintosh Atom Fix In The Works

Fear not hackintosh faithful; according to Gizmodo, the hacker who is the driving force behind netbook hackintosh builds says that the kernel will be fixed for the Atom processors. “It’ll just take a few weeks.” If you might have slipped with your netbook and upgraded to 10.6.2, you can still downgrade your kernel to get [...]

10.6.2 Kills Off Atom CPU Support

Looks like Apple is taking another step to put a nail in the coffin of the hackintosh community. Looks like the developer build of Mac OS 10.6.2 lacks support for Intel’s Atom processor which every netbook around uses and is very popular in the hackintosh community. If this is a conscious move on Apple’s part [...]

Microsoft’s App Lab

I’ll give Microsoft credit, when they want to be funny they are funny. The Windows Mobile Dev team released this video giving everyone a sneak peak from their super secret application development lab of the upcoming apps that will be released on the new Windows Marketplace. I love the under-tone of poking fun at Apple’s [...]

Portable Data Center

A pioneering Dell employee has create a prototype portable data center. This won’t be replacing any of the big shipping container data centers that the likes of Google or Sun are building, but this is a great start to of things to come. This would be great in a disaster recovery plan to bring systems [...]

Photoshop For The iPhone

Photoshop has come to the iPhone, not quite the full version but really cool never-the-less. As a heavy user of the desktop version of Photoshop I was quite disapointed to find the iPhone version was, let’s just say, thin. No layers, no brushes and no levels. Just a whole crap load of filters. You can [...]

I love to use Back Track as my all around security testing OS (If your not sure what Back Track is check out my little write up about it the other day). I also love to use Back Track on my EEE pc. It’s small, light, and has decent wifi range. Thanks to Larry Pesce [...]
