For now, there are no plans for adding TV-out to the public Doom build for the iPhone, although Steven says that he’s open to investigating... Continue reading

Trippy iPod Is By No Means Portable

Either I’m on some awesome drugs that I don’t know about or the Russian artists who designed this oversized iPod are. OK, I just gave myself a blood test; I’m sober. That means that both Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgin are out of their skulls for crafting this large, warped, fully-functional iPod.

Tip: tackling worn-out Fast Port connectors on SonyEricsson phones

The SonyEricsson K750 and W800 are one of the most readily seen phones on streets nowadays, they’re pretty good phones really, the Walkman and camera both work reasonably well.
