Still got the floating ads here.

The doorbell idea is cute. Always good to have an uber simple way of accomplishing a simple task.

Good article on the sounddock too… though no matter how much you hack it, it will still be a piece of bose trash. (No highs, no lows, must be bose.)

Anyway, another day of good hack a day!

That HDD key chain is pretty stupid. To go through all that trouble to get your hands on the hardware, just to rip it apart and make a very lame keychain.

I’ve thought many times about making keychains out of various pieces of hardare. CPUs, old sticks of ram (like SIMMs, which are smaller), and even various parts of hard drives I’d torn apart, like the read head assembly. The thing that stopped me each and every time was the fact that all of these things have *sharp edges*. Why would somebody want to attach something to their keys that has the potential to cut their hand when they reach into their pocket? As geekily-cool as it might look, it’s just not worth it IMO.

(Computer jewelery, on the other hand, is in a league of it’s own ;) I braided the green/whitegreen, orange/whiteorange, and blue/whiteblue pairs from a cat5 cable once to make a bracelet for my girlfriend. Certain other things are nice to hang from necklaces, etc)

Noob speaking but can they just swap the drive on the Xbox rather than re-jig it?

hey guys! i have a problem that need a bit of advise on. I have a psp that was updated to firmware v2.80 and it can’t play any copied games or homebrew. How can i get it to work or downgrade to an earlier firmware that will allow me to play emulator games???

That Bose Sounddock adapter that “Mike” put together is potentially dangerous for the Sounddock and absolutely nothing to recommend! Besides, I made a safe Bose Sounddock adapter before that, which I guess inspired him to find out how to do it.
