Honestly, did nobody suggest we should focus on Uranus? Or other heavenly bodies?

iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering 684

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday September 14, 2009 @10:10AM from the but-i-how-will-i-torrent-from-a-corn-field dept.

jole writes "The newest iPhone 3.1 update intentionally removed tethering functionality from all phones operating in networks that are not Apple partners. This is not limited to hacked or jailbroken phones, but also includes expensive 'officially supported' factory-unlocked phones. To make the problem worse, Apple has made it impossible to downgrade back to a working 3.0 version for iPhone 3GS phones."

Submission + - Christmas tree made from 70 SCSI hard drives (nzgames.com)

Submitted by Trigger on Tuesday December 16, 2008 @05:27PM

Trigger writes: At our work we were decomissioning six old HP/Compaq servers to clear up space for new servers and, naturally, each server had a fairly large raid array. Instead of formatting every hard drive (would have taken weeks performing a DoD level wipe) and disposing them all together with the servers, I decided to disassemble the hard drives and recycle them into something neat. With a lot (a lot) of patience, I made this shiny xmas tree In total there are around 70 old SCSI hard drives, between 9gb and 18gb in size each. They were nice and chunky, oldschool style. There were quite a few different hard drive models, which is good becaues they each had different bits which I could use. The xmas tree is made with parts from hard drives only except for one nut which I had to purchase for $0.39. The tree 'branches' are made up of 189 platters, the middle column has around 60 platters. They still contain super secret confidential company data, so don't tell my boss... Had to work on it a little by little every day after work. Used epoxy glue which takes a day to set, so it was a matter of glue, wait a day, glue, wait a day, etc. Working on it every day after work, it took about 3½ weeks. It was made with limited tools whic consisted of pliers, screwdrivers, scissors, file, and a craft knife. Good times good times.

In-Depth Review of the MacBook Air With Photos 244

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Saturday January 26, 2008 @09:29AM from the long-road-ahead dept.

Engadget has the first really in-depth review of the MacBook Air that I have seen with plenty of great photos and specifics. They do a great job of highlighting the highs and the lows with plenty of concrete examples to back their claims up. It seems that while the MacBook Air is a great step towards ultra-portable computing, overall the pricepoint is just too high. Which is not surprising from a new Apple gadget I guess.
