This is not for the weak of heart….or for those who have nightmares of owning a brick 
Of course, theres always just waiting until June…
Anyways, ZiPhone will jailbreak your iPhone and iPod touch, as well as unlock the iPhone. Make sure the device is running latest firmware, 1.1.4, set it up as a new phone. Download ZiPhone, run the app, close iTunes, and just follow the instructions :P.

Now remember…you really could just wait until June, but heh, if you’re in a hurry 
I really want to know how many of you have gone into the guts of FF and been totally overwhelmed by the number of configuration options. The about:config page is just absolutely insane. Really powerful, but insane at the same time.
To help you….theres Configuration Mania. Its a firefox plugin that organizes most of the options available in about:config. Sure, there are still some other options that aren’t there, but really, those probably aren’t going to be used very often.

I’m just going to let this speak for itself.
Okay, i can’t keep my mouth shut.
I reccomend the following from PCWorlds list as particularly interesting and worthy of exploration.
#3 : The three AM one looks pretty cool. I haven’t been up till 3 to test it out, but it looks neat.
#4 : I remember reading about Gmail Paper. There may even be a FLB post on it.
#7. The Google Earth flight simulator. The first time I heard of it, i didn’t believe it. Surprisingly, Brian or Joe hadn’t heard of it either. So off to Google Earth I went . . . and there it was. No lie.
#8. Google calculator. One of the things i love about Google.
#12. The Picasa Bear. Just how many it will show is a mystery. . . but its a lot.

This is a REALLY useless utility. This isn’t even like there’s a possible use for it, this program honestly, was made because it COULD be made.
IE Retitler does exactly what it says. It lets you retitle the screens of IE to whatever you want.
Funny…there aren’t any preferences, plugins, or help files. Really…all you can do with it is leave cute messages to yourself when you glance down at your taskbar or the IE bar. Have fun with it

To be frank though, there are some pretty nice little apps in this portfolio. Have fun flipping through it and downloading a few 
Indeed…sometimes, I have these bouts of insaneness and I open up task manager, and start killing memory hogging processes. This usually takes some time as I scroll through XP’s 60ish processes and Vista’s obscene 100 processes. Well…I shall do that no longer!
What you do with this little app is mark up system and critical processes, etc, that you want to keep. Press the big kill button and everything else goes poof!
However, what you really want to do before you do this, is know what you’re killing first. Because, honestly, for your own sanity, don’t kill processes you dont even know
First, figure out what all those nasty processes are, THEN do this.

It was almost 207 years ago that the first battery was developed by Italian physicist Alessandro Volta. For the first time, electricity could be gathered and stored, instead of just being handled as a static shock. So the next time you open your laptop, listen to your mp3 player, or pick up the TV remote controll, remember that the battery started with Volta.

And. here’s a list of some common things we use all the time that depend on batteries :
Bluetooth devices
Cars
Cell Phones
Cordless power tools
Digital watches
Digital cameras
Flashlights
Laptops
MP3 players
Pacemakers
PDAs
Telephones - non-cell (Early phones used batteries to keep the phone line voltage up.)
TV Remotes
Okay, so its not the best list ever, and without batteries in general, we wouldn’t have made nearly as many advances in electrical technology as we have today.
As usual, if anyone has any other good ideas/strange places that we find batteries, feel free to leave your ideas in the comments so I can add em to the list.
For all you people who have risked it and jailbroke your iphone, and it’s not a brick yet…heres a pretty awesome little app for your phone.
You can control your PC or Mac with your iphone/ipod touch. It’s essentially a touchpad with all the needs of a touchpad

An interesting application for today…this little app starts applications at startup according to if your Caps Lock button is on or off.
I know, this sounds a bit weird and probably useless…but…think about this.
For example, most people, open up IE (GASP) or FF, outlook, etc, once their computer turns on. Its kinda like your default workspace. Well…what if some days, you honestly just want to check something real quick and don’t want everything popping up, while most days you want everything there?
Capster! Set it so all your daily programs run if caps lock isn’t on, and if caps lock IS on, nothing loads. That way, when you’re logging in, you can determine how much stuff you want to load when you login. It could come in nifty

Heh….Well, you’d think this was out of a science fiction plot, but…people have developed a prototype to possible telepathic chat. Electronic of course.
There is a neckband that is worn to detect nerve signals you send to your vocal chords. However, there’s more…you can do this voicelessly, but still talk at the same time. It can differentiate between voiceless signal, and your normal talking.However, the problem at the moment, is that it can only detect about 150 words and phrases. Their working on a better version that detects phonemes, which would allow software to convert that into actual words. We’re getting there

Take a look at this computer-controled Etch-A-Sketch that writes out the time every minute, then automatically flips to clear itself and then records the new time. I’d like to see a more detailed drawing of what time it is (the simple outline of the line seems a bit plain to me, and also a bit small for the size of the screen), but then again, I’ve never tried to program anything like this, and its probably more complicated then I think. Either way, its a cool use for a etch-a-sketch.
