i’ll agree with orb360. looks like a wireless kb/mouse reciever i just bought. that looks like the sync button in the middle, that red thing.

it looks an awful lot like my old nomad jukebox. Could be the nomad jukebox3.

Its the pcb of a Atari Jaguar controller.

@7: no, that is not a RIM logo, that is a Freescale logo. There’s a microprocessor and some Micrel RAM on there, Intel flash… hard to say.

Well, it has a DRAM chip and some sort of freescale micro controller on it. Looks like its part of some type of hand held computer. Might be a phone, if there is an entire board missing, though I don’t see any RF components or shielding. I’m going to lean towards a palm or some kind of organizer.

That is a wireless receiver for a Logitech wireless keyboard (or mouse)

@techyguru: If you are looking for the old hack-a-day style, consider changing your bookmark to:
http://www.hackaday.com/category/daily/

Or for the rss feed:

As for myself, I'll be sticking with the new hack-a-day, but if you're only up for one or two things a day, check out the 'daily' tag.

I see a simple solution to this. We need a full view and a classic view.

The full view pulls up everything posted.

The classic view only pulls up one hack post each day(perhaps mini-extras).

Some days I only have time to pull up and checkout one hack. Other days I have way too much time on my hands and look through the comments.

christ alex, are you daft? you need a way to find shit like this? there are hundreds of places that are dedicated to showing you random tech shit that aren’t called hackaday. try digg tech, or hackedgadgets, or hacknmod, or engadget, or any other blog like that. they should be able to fill your desire to “find new shut”

until recently hackaday was the only place you could come to find articles that are always technical projects that i could attempt. i’m glad so many of you are happy to see more articles, but stuff like this and iphone and random projects that are only for purchase do not fit the feel that was previously created here.

i agree with “not a hack” and at the same time with “alex mccown”
i miss the old hackaday. but swearing or trolling is not the way to sort it out.
and (alex mccown) down with spelling !!!!! :)

I agree with alex. I’m tired of hearing people bitch about having interesting not-hacks, especially if they’d only investigate further they’d probably have fun. Not to mention the crucial skill of hackers software and hardware alike, being able to identify parts with limited information and then being able to implement that knowledge to actually do the hacks these people so desire.

And if you’re one of the ones bitching, why don’t you submit something? Go hit your monitor with a hammer and build something out of the parts, that’d solve both problems.
