Earlier in the year, Apple threw a hissy fit over the Palm Pre and its multi-touch abilities. Now Apple is going public again without naming any names. It states that third-party DMPs may sync with iTunes but that it’s totally unsupported and they could lose that feature in the future. This means that Apple will soon release an iTunes update ...

While I like to do Afternoon Linkage every day, sometimes I just don’t get enough time to take care of it. For this, I am sorry my faithful readers. I’m now going to jump into a vat of lava. Hot lava, that is. Weird Al does Craigslist This is why moderation is key, folks Have you earned your Arduino merit ...

Shaun White may be famous for smoking pot and snowboarding but no matter your tastes, you can’t deny that these are some smoking hot sunglasses. At $155, they’re actually one of the cheaper pair of Oakleys, but you still get big Oakley looks. Mirrored red lenses, retro logo and styling – these were made for Californians and purveyors of action ...

What is the deal with all these people ripping apart perfectly good video game consoles in favor of upgrading them with the latest technology? Sometimes retro is better! That being said, this is a nice looking iPod dock. It’s a broken iPod clock/radio shoved inside an Atari 2600 shell. My guess is that this mod took no more than an ...

Look, I’ve talked about sneaking alcohol into concerts several times before. It’s something that we as men just have a natural need for when we’re rocking out and we’d like to save a buck while we’re at it. These beer pouches? Perfect for crotch stuffing. I bet you could cram a damn six-pack in between your ass cheeks no problem. ...

I’m the console disguised as another console disguised as a PC. Actually, this is just a badass case mod. Some dude shoved his entire Acer Aspire One A150 and a CD-ROM drive shoved into a SNES shell. The cartridge acts as a loader for discs, which is pretty inventive. What I want to know is if the creator destroyed a ...

The social media war has finally come to an end. We all know that MySpace has been declining in popularity and use since 2006 and since then, has only been beating out Facebook in US-based traffic. Now, Facebook has overtaken MySpace, according to Comscore. The exact results? For May of 2009, Facebook actually passed MySpace with 70.278 million unique visitors ...

Call me biased, but my favorite game for the original PlayStation is Final Fantasy Tactics. You can imagine my excitement when I read that the ESRB has rated Tactics for release on PSN. It’ll be available for download for both the PS3 and PSP and I’m guessing it’ll be priced around $9.99. The real question is, will they fix the ...

For the past hour, I’ve been playing with Hunch.com, a new online service created by Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake. You essentially ask the site questions, take a little survey and get the answers you want. I found it pretty interesting and answering the questions on the homepage helps others gain knowledge about you. One of the neat parts is that ...

The above video shows a gentleman loading up a Commodore 64 with some software off an old-ass floppy disk. This C64 software is actually homebrew Twitter software used to send tweets. Believe it or not, you can actually tweet (albeit it very slowly) with it. It’s amazing how you can do so much with a C64 and the C64 Ethernet ...
