vertigoCiel writes: A Hacker at Simbunch.com's iPhone section has outlined a method to unlock the iPhone using only software tools, the original iPhone SIM, an alternate carrier's SIM card, and an $80 tool called TurboSIM, which is capable of cloning the AT&T SIM card. The important distinction between this and other iPhone unlocking methods is that it requires less hardware, and allows you to continue to use EDGE with the new SIM card.

Submission + - New technology has dramatic chip-cooling potential

Some researchers funded by Intel over at Purdue have improved the "heat-transfer coefficient" by some 250%. I never liked water cooled systems, and this sounds promising. However I wonder how much ozone one of these things produces, probably not much.
