I want to go to there!

Yes, I know how excited you nerds must be and you’re welcome.

Check it out.  Some genius has created a site dedicated to a custom google search just for torrentz and modeled it after the pirate bay

http://www.thepirategoogle.com

Aww, see the pirate bay ain’t so bad after all ! And the graphic they used ain’t half bad either. Just incase they get ripped a new one, I posted a screen shot.

I have atleast 3 times.

Yes I know what my timezone is, its -5 GMT Eastern Standard (duH). Yes I know if you cut the silent button on it won’t work (duH!). And yes it normally DOES work, but guess what? WHen you don’t plug it in, sometimes it doesn’t go off, like Today and two other times it hasn’t went off. Whats the deal with this? Some magical combination of settings when the power is not plugged in is causing the fucking alarm NOT TO GO OFF! So Apple stop stifling and release 3.0 you dirty bastards! I’m hoping the alarm will be reliable THEN.

NTAP is great, don’t get me wrong.. but this video is just something else.  (possibly because I find Eminem totally disgusting)

In this photo provided by Chris Nakashima-Brown, an electronic road sign is seen in Austin, Texas on Monday, Jan. 26, 2009. Two electronic signs intended to warn motorists of construction near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards were changed yesterday by hackers.

Lets see what it takes to “hack” one of these signs.

DO NOT under any circumstances run around hacking into electronic road signs using the information contained in this guide of how to transmit hilarious messages to passing motorists.

It is as simple as follows.

How many times have you driven by an electronic road sign like one of these?

*** WARNING YOU SHOULD NEVER TAMPER WITH THESE SIGNS ***

All you need to know, who needs a step-by-step process ?

* The access panel on the sign is generally protected by a small lock, but often are left unprotected. Upon opening the access panel you can see the display electronics.
* The black control pad is attached by a curly cord, with a keyboard on the face.
* Programming is as simple as scrolling down the menu selection to “Instant Text”. Type whatever you want to display, Hit Enter to submit. You can now either throw it up on the sign by selecting “Run w/out save” or you can add more pages to it by selecting “Add page”

** HACKER TIPS ** Should it will ask you for a password. Try “DOTS”, the default password.

In all likelihood, the crew will not have changed it. However if they did, never fear. Hold “Control” and “Shift” and while holding, enter “DIPY”. This will reset the sign and reset the password to “DOTS” in the process. You’re in!

Ok, so thats all it takes to ‘hack’ this sign. You run upto it, hopefully its unlocked.. You enter what you want accordingly. How nice. Let the Zombie invasion begin!

** Update – I found the news brief from Austin News

I had finally convinced myself it was super cool, the latest & greatest in cell phone technology.

So.. I went ahead and gave it a shot. Yes I compromised my iPhone for this crap. The design of the phone is awkward (especially for us right brained folks), the keyboard sucks, the touch screen sucks, the user functionality is horrid and number one and most importantly – t-mobile’s phone support is the worst tech/billing/account support I have yet to encounter.

If you are considering this phone, you might want to re-consider the pros & cons very carefully.

It is a true icon of media HYPE and the videos you watch are based around very spread out, un-userfriendly widgets.

The G1 should have stayed a prototype for atleast another year. Too soon google, too soon!

The streams of data networks aren’t so tangible and … of course they had to come up with something to quench that consumerist fist filling needs.

Pretty neat stuff if you ask me! Maybe they’ll start putting the classics in bubble gum machines?

Too cute.
