Holy Boner, Batman! 120GB Zune Sold Early

Filed under: Portable Media

Later today, you’re going to feel the ground shake a little and possible open up in some areas. Don’t worry. It’s just the sound of the earth moving around furiously over news of this 120GB Zune. What’s a Zune? A strange MP3 player from Microsoft that still hasn’t died and a 120GB is due out next week.

Now about that earth moving around. That’s because some dude in Hotlanta, GA bought a 120GB Zune early at a Fry’s Electronics. It’s not the first time a product has been available for purchase early. Want a CD a week or so before it comes out? Find a (very) local CD retailer and check in with them every day. That’s how I got my Dashboard Confessional albums, which in turn I ripped to my Zune which in turn made me want to kill myself. $250 and your pride.

Airport Network Hack Launches The Revolution

Whenever I arrive at an airport, I need to get online right away. It’s not enough they’re overcharging me for my ticket, now they want to charge me $7 for 24 hours of internet. My next flight is in three hours, what could I possibly need 24 hours of internet for. What a rip-off.

Thanks to Felix Geisendörfer of debuggable.com, he’s shown the man that we know when we’re being fed shit by hacking into the Atlanta airport’s network. After several tried and true methods, Felix discovered that by simply placing “/?.jpg” at the end of his favorite URLs, he could visit sites for free. Nice job Felix, you’ve ripped the system and ended fascism.
