DVD Jon Hacks iPhone to activate without AT&T

published on July 4th, 2007 . by joe

It’s not a secret that I think the iPhone is a complete waste of money but I am a fan of the idea of being able to do what you want with what you pay good money for.  I guess Jon Lech Johansen’s hack makes it so that you can use everything on the phone except the phone.

I’ve found a way to activate a brand new unactivated iPhone without giving any of your money or personal information to AT&T NSA. The iPhone does not have phone capability, but the iPod and WiFi work.

Joe’s Dream PC (128gb of RAM, 8 dual-core CPUs)

published on June 9th, 2007 . by joe

I think I could suffer through owning this PC. It’s got 8 2.8ghz dual-core Opteron processors and a case-filling 128gb or RAM. According to the forum post, the machine was built by Xenon Systems for the Monash Cluster Computing group.

Side note: I know it’s been a while since I last posted something. I’ll try to post more but after an 8 hour day of coding, it’s hard.

Have you ever looked at your USB thumb drive and wondered why you couldn’t be storing your files on a small, plastic novelty dog that humps you laptop whilst you files are read?  Me neither.  At least one person has though.
