After hours of wait for the Apple iPhone 3G, Airtel and Vodafone have decided to release the phone on August 22, a day before my birthday by the way. But what about the 3G part? Most applications on the iPhone work only if there is 3G available. In India, we need more visionary people.
Most probably, Vodafone will have an upper hand due to its global tie-up with Apple. As to the prices, people are still playing the guessing game. On the pre-registering days of the iPhone with Vodafone, it was slated to be of $199 and $299.
But why the hype? Simple, its touch sensitive screen is the best of there is in the cellphone world. Its sleek looks and lots of other features contribute to this.
Never knew anything wierder. Sony Playstation 3 seems to be a hub for all the softwares out there, whatever it may be. mopx0 has managed to install a Windows Vista OS on the Sony Playstation 3. Although the entire process is useless in the way that it takes 24 hours to install.
After the 24 hour install, it takes about 25 minutes for the Vista to boot. But still the system is damn slow, so think before you do something. You can also install windows xp on the Playstation 3 which is slightly faster.
Feeling helpless that you cannot download free software for your iTouch/iPhone, just because you don’t have an iTunes account at iTunes store? Most of the users cannot do all this because iTunes require essentially a credit card for sign up.
But You can now do it all by creating a free iTunes account.
Here are the steps you can follow to create a Free iTunes account without a Credit Card:
open iTunes and click on iTunes store from left panel.
At the bottom page select My store as “United States”, the first option.
When the page reloads completely, on the right hand side under Quick Links select “Redeem”.
Paste the Redeem code you got into the Redeem screen of iTunes. When you press “Redeem”, you will be asked to provide your Apple/AOL id. But in the bottom right of same window there will be an option to create new account.Click it.
Now in the new window Enter your details and in the Payment options select None. Note: While entering details you should note that you are being signed up as an United States citizen so you should provide your details according to that only .
In the name and address area, fill out anything as your wish. But the city, state, pin code and telephone nos. should be correct. I simply googled about all these details (remember google is one of the best tools of a wanna-be hacker). You can fill out these sample details: CITY: CAROL CITY
STATE: FLORIDA
ZIP CODE: either 33055 or 33056 PHONE: there are two separated boxes. The first one is area code. Fill 305. After that you have to fill phone no. Type any 7 random numbers.
Select the none option and click continue, and it’s done.
That’s how you hack your way into a totally FREE iTunes account without a Credit Card !

Netshare from Nullriver is is a boon for many who are mobile whether they want to or not. If you people have already downloaded Netshare for $10 from the Apple Stores and are frustrated that you couldn’t figure out what the app was all about, well then seriously you need this tutorial.
Please note that this tutorial will not work on Mozilla Firefox 3. For better results, better use safari (obviously Apple friendly). Head over here for the tutorial.
UPDATE: It seems some users cant see the download page for this app on the Apple Store. I do not know whats the problem, but will come out with a solution soon.
Almost everyone has suffered the fate. It could be you next. Just kidding. Wanted to start dramatically. Back to the RROD or known as the Red Ring Of Death. Just to be sure, if your console is still within the warranty period, you could send it to Microsoft for free service. For those who are not fortunate enough, we shall try this.
Its easy, all you need is some tools of domestic use. I bet you guys already across the ‘towel fix’ which is still doing the rounds on youtube. Anyway, serious problems calls for serious solutions. And this ain’t no exception.
Follow the video closely even if you have to have to watch it more than twice. This method has already been tested on 10 other Xbox 360s with RRODs.
If you can’t get the Xbox 360 up again, just take the fan out and overheat it and cool it for some time. This I reckon is temporary but you could do it again and again. Also, try this website as an alternate:

No joke, I swear. Indians are developing a laptop that will cost $10 that will run applications on higher education. What with the TATA Nano car priced at $2500, this cannot be a joke. The Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore and the Indian Institute of technology, Chennai are jointly involved on the ‘project’.
D. Purandeswari, Minister of State for Higher Education announced this project at Delhi. A statement like this obviously makes everyone suspicious, so when asked the config, they did not comment. This maybe made on government subsidy.
The project is based on the campaign National Mission in Education through ICT. The government is also creating devices of low power-consuming and low cost. As to internet access, government is trying to provide the bandwidth for free for educational purposes.
For the second most populated country on the planet, the internet access for the masses is low. Many organisations are trying to bring low cost laptops.
India did not sign for the OLPC program stating reasons of misuse and harmful in the analytical growth of the child. Can India do another TATA ?
Every time you see kids playing ball in the room, you instinctively tell them nicely how the LCD Monitor looks worried and how it doesn’t want its face screwed up. But what to do if it has already suffered such a notion? Don’t panic, Just follow these steps at Hackosis for a good facial.
There are two ways to go about it, one is simple but temporary while the other is permanent but long. The temporary method includes filling the scratches with vaseline while the permanent one needs to have an auto rubbing compound and lacquer. . Head over here to follow these steps. As usual , I must remind you that you do this at your own risk. No pressure! Carry on.
Add-ons are always the in-thing no matter what the century. It gives the particular device more edge and cool. Its the same with Neoneco swing speakers. They give ears to your iPod (all versions). This baby from Korea can last for 10 hours and that too with awesome sound quality.
The Swing Speakers hook themselves up on the crystal-case. The 10 hours audio playback is a boon to mp3 addcits and likely listeners. Available only in Korea for now, it is priced at $30 for the Nano, $32 for the Classic and $35 for the Touch.
