Ben Heck has made another one-handed Xbox conroller. All the buttons are in easy-to-reach places, and the controller still manages to incorporate two joysticks.

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

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

“A security researcher has released an easy-to-use tool that accesses
locked Windows computers in seconds without entering a password.
The tool, which was released Tuesday by Adam Boileau, works by
connecting a Linux machine to the Firewire port of the target PC and
modifying the password protection that’s stored in local memory.
The attack exploits a well-known weakness in Firewire that makes it
easy for connected devices to read and write to the memory of the host
machine. Similar hacks work on machines running OS X and Linux (see here).
Of course, the attack depends on having physical access to the targeted machine, and as most El Reg
readers know, anyone who has physical control of the PC owns it. Then
again, password protections have been a useful way to briefly secure a
machine while a user runs to the bathroom. Until now. As Boileau’s tool
makes clear, such protections can be bypassed in a matter of seconds.”

Ever wondered what the code to a computer virus looks like?
Neither have I. But this guy has taken the actual source code of common computer viruses and turned it into a visual image of each computer virus.
I’d like to know more about how he did it, but the article doesn’t say, it just includes some very cool pictures.
No….it doesn’t remove all the noise that you hear while you’re trying to concentrate, although that would be REALLY nice.
This little program removes digital noise from photographs. This is really obvious when you’re either taking a photograph at high zoom (when camera starts digital extrapolating) or when you’re taking photos at night and you have a high ISO on. Its all the little red and yellow dots that appear over the image. This program learns as it fixes noise and removes it to provide a much cleaner image. Now…sadly, this thing is one of the few programs that is posted at flashladybug that…isn’t free 
However, you can clear up a few photos using the trial edition which is for 15 days, or buy the full version for 20 bucks. Still kind of sad that it isn’t free. I had expected the standard edition to be free and the profession ed to be paid…but such is not the case.

Motherboards and other associated computer chips can do some amazing things, at amazing speeds. One of the largest issues keeping computer chips functioning properly at such speeds is keeping them cool. Processing takes a lot of electricity, and generates a lot of heat. So why not take that heat, and use it to power the cooling fan for the motherboard? Why waste MORE power to keep the chip cool, while you’ve got all this extra heat hanging around that you’re trying to get rid of?

Funny how some of these programs pop up just when you need em.
Instant Eyedropper tool is a nifty little thing for graphic artists and web designers out there. I’m sure lots of other people could use it…but lets face it, who really needs hex code for colors other than graphic artists and web designers?
This thing sits in your tray, when you find a color you want to know the code for, you go and click and drag from the little circle in your tray. Drag it to the color you want to know about, and just let go. Result? Your clipboard now has the hex code in it. Just paste and off we go
If you don’t want it to auto pop into your clipboard, thats in the options too. Now, it will just display the hex code above the cursor.
Nifty little tool, and…its free as usual!

Here’s an interesting little program that I have found to be quite nice for the few days I’ve had it. Nubs allows you to use all 4 sides of your monitor as “taskbars.” When you drag a window to one of the sides, it makes a little “nub” on the side that looks like the taskbar minimized window. So, right now, I have firefox on the top of my screen, aim windows on my left, and the rest on the normal taskbar. This lets me organize a bit better, and I dont know, I seem to like it
Give it a shot, Nubs
Now, Flashladybug does not condone this service, we are only reporting this 
We will be held irresponsible for any problems that may occur from the use of this service.
File destructor 2.0 lets you create documents of a certain size that, upon opening in the right program, will give a “file corrupt” error.
What use is this? Well, as the site shows, you can *cough* hand this in instead of your actual document *cough* and get a few extra hours until whoever you gave the file to realizes its corrupt.
This is…interesting.
