Every office has those moments where nobody knows WTF is going on. At least this office has taken the important step of acknowledging the problem.
The WTF Counter system consists of a button hooked up to an Arduino. Whenever an awkward moment arises, an employee presses the aptly labeled WTF button which is connected to the Arduino. The Arduino logs the WTF moment on a local web server.
Nothing shows your coffee beans who’s boss quite like a power drill made to grind them into oblivion. This modded power tool was created using the burr of a peppermill.
I happen to love a little metallic zest in my brew.
As geeks, we have slightly skewed and sometimes inappropriate ways of handling stress. Most of the time we like to mix in some humor with our mourning. It helps to lighten the mood.
This keyboard mod memorial renames the “Caps Lock” key the “Billy Mays” key. Your loud, boisterous voice will forever live on in our hearts and keyboards, Billy.
Don’t you hate when you buy a brand-new gadget, take it out of the package, power that sucker on, only to discover that you have about 30 seconds of battery life to play with before the thing is tapped out. Apple, always thinking ahead, has submitted a patent which would allow their iPhone and iPod Touch gadgets to be charged while still in their packaging.
This “active packaging” would allow “power, data, or both power and data to one or more electronic media devices housed within the packaging.” Data too, huh? Does that mean a constant data feed to each device? That would keep all of their devices updated constantly.
Some sad news is abound. The iPhone Dev Team, the peeps behind all the jailbreaking software you use, say that with the advent of the iPhone 3GS, an unlock IS available but Apple is bound to break it with a software update. Not only that, but the team goes on to say that Apple will eventually find a way to keep them out permanently. So get your paws on a 3G or 3GS, post haste, before you actually have to pay for software! God forbid!
If you haven’t upgraded to the iPhone 3GS, you’re in luck. We’ve posted a guide that details how iPhone 2G and 3G owners can easily jailbreak their iPhone and get all the apps they desire for free. That’s right: nadda. Nothin’. So sit down, pull up an iPod cable and check it out.
Even being the uber-geek that I am, I think I might be too lazy to go through the trouble of creating my own personal iPhone icons… for every single Apple-made application. Let’s be honest. I don’t think… I know.
Nevertheless, this dude went through the trouble of taking pictures of himself, with each photo branding the same dorky expression, acting out each of the app’s functions or titles. Example… in the YouTube photo, he is holding a literal tube.
Disclaimer: This tutorial/HOW TO is for educational purposes only. That being said, we know damn well what we’re trying to do here I assume.
What this tutorial will do is jailbreak (not unlock) your iPhone so that you can download independent apps from developers. A VERY STRONG RUMOR HAS IT that you can also download apps cracked from the iTunes App Store. I’ve confirmed this. This is a Mac OS X only tutorial. Suck it, Windows.
First, you’ll need an iPhone 2G (the original) or an iPhone 3G. This hack DOES NOT WORK on the iPhone 3GS, so don’t try it. Ready? Have your shit backed up and an iPod cable ready? Good.
Step 1: Download the redsn0w jailbreak app.
Step 2: Get a .ipsw file of the iPhone 3.0 OS. Google around, check Hackulo.us or whatever.
Step 3: Plug iPhone into your Mac, follow on screen instructions. You’ll be putting your phone into DFU mode and within minutes, it’ll be back to normal and jailbroken. Mind you, after a jailbreak (at least with me), you’ll need to do a restore later on to access your legitimate applications. Make sure you choose to install Cydia only. You don’t need Icy and can get it later.
Step 4: Open Cydia. Choose to do a “Complete” upgrade to the software. Add “cydia.hackulo.us” to your list of repositories once that’s done.
Step 5: Download AppSync, Crackulous and Installous from the Hackulo.us repository. If you don’t do it in this order, you may get errors.
Step 6: If all went according to plan, restore your iPhone from your last legit backup and you should have Cydia, all your cracked apps and your legit apps on the phone. Congrats! Now you can use Installous to wreck havoc on all the apps you desire.
That’s pretty much it. It took me about 45 minutes to get everything done and now I’m enjoying everything my iPhone 3G has to offer. If you’re squeemish about hacking or have sensitive material on your phone, don’t try this. You have to experience trial and error before getting it right. Now go and enjoy your cracked apps!
Why do things like this need to be created? It’s a gadget from the dreams of your 6-year-old sister. Just look at that pose. This is one Gundam in dire need of a tea party, followed promptly by an ass whooping.
If you’re a girl and you ask your Grandma for a Gundam for Christmas, guaranteed you’d get something like this.
Remember in school when you’d waste time by trying to make funny words with your calculator (lol, “boobs”)? We’ve grown up. We’re way past the days of trying to make naughty words on our tools of arithmetic. These days, we’ve turned to our Mac OS X docks for our creative word challenges.
Check out some more words after the jump and give it a try yourself.
