Remember the decision from a few weeks ago where a judge didn’t think they had jurisdiction to decide on the fate of jailbreaker George Hotz, aka Geohot? Well, Sony has finally seen their day in court and has managed to win a restraining order against Geohot. We all know that once you put something on [...]

You must be living under a rock if you didn’t hear about Sony filing suit against fail0verflow and Geohot for their distribution of the PS3 jailbreak firmware. The first step in Sony’s legal battle involved a temporary restraining order (TRO) against them to stop the distribution of the code. That TRO case was heard earlier [...]

As a father of a small child I know all to well who Thomas the Train is. My little guy has a really cool train table with 100′s of trains (I step on the stupid things all the time). Although I do enjoy the morals that the show teaches my child, I often wonder what [...]

What happens when you put a Wi-Fi dongle and a Wok together? The Wok-Fi of course. My favorite how-to site Instructables has a write up on mashing up a dumpling strainer and a Wi-Fi dongle. The writer claims to have gotten a boost of 60% when using this. Plus, everyone can whip out a cantena. [...]

Here’s a perfect gadget that will do nothing more than put a power strain on your usb circuit. Thumbs Up UK’s new USB Owl seems to serve no purpose, unless you count moving it’s head or blinking it’s eyes something useful. I really wonder how big an industry the useless USB gadgets market has become. [...]

I’m sure the media is going to put a nasty spin on this story about how all hackers are bad. A 14 year old boy has been arrested after hacking into a Polish train system and using it like a giant train set which caused 12 people injuries. Initially it looked like he was being [...]

Video after the jump.Via Funditor “In a microphone, sound waves (differences in the pressure of air) cause a diaphragm to vibrate back and forth, altering its resistance to an electric current. When an electric [...]
