 The other night instead of getting some sleep I found myself browsing for christmas gifts I would like to purchase this year. Naturally I made it too all my favorite hardware sites, but I soon found that I had already looked at that stuff before -- I wanted something **different**. I headed over to thinkgeek.com to get some ideas and after a few minutes of browsing I found it. A Retro Cellphone Handset. Sure, I have no idea what I would do with it, but it is such a sweet gadget for an oldschool phreak such as myself. As I looked at it, I realized they wanted $30+ for it, and I thought to myself -- I can build that. So after some cutting, testing, and building I have finished my Retro-Cell phone handset, and I will show you how you can build your own for under $10.00

 There has been A LOT of talk about the Ipod Nano screens lately. Several people are complaining that their Nano is getting scratched badly just by having it in their pocket. Several articles on the horrors of the iPod Nano screen,
on theregister, cnet, and even Apple.com, have people rushing to buy aftermarket protectors. People were becoming afraid to even carry their Nanos in their pockets, considering the nanos seem to scratch if you look at them funny. In the following article we will discuss how to fix your scratched ipod nano, and how to protect it in the future.

Logitech wireless action controllers for ps2 are arguably the best wireless controller for the ps2. However, their major flaw seems to be that the x button tends to stick after some use. This happens for one of 2 reasons:
- 1. The x button is dirty and needs to be cleaned.
- or - (and more often)
- 2. The silicon (I think it is silicon) connector that acts as a spring for the x button breaks down over time.
The x button is usually the only one to stick. This is because the x button is used the most. I have come up with a very easy and quick fix for this problem. |

 With the OSx86 (OSX Tiger for Intel chipsets) leak, hundreds of people have been attempting to install OSx86 on their home computers. Some are having great luck, while others are finding that their hardware is not compatible, and it just wont install. In the following article I will discuss how to build a Intel based computer that comes very closely to meeting the specs of the OSx86 Development machines. We will discuss exactly WHAT hardware you want, WHERE to find the software, and HOW to install it. Meaning that with a little magic, this complete walkthrough will have you installing OSx86 on a $200 Intel machine using the OSX install disc, and have everything work great!

 This topic may be old hat for some of you I-hacked readers, but with the recent decline in prices of internal IDE harddrives I would like to would like to write on how you can build external drives for almost HALF what retailers charge. These external drives are perfect for backing up your movies, mp3s, and other important files. Add the fact that they are totally portable, and HOT SWAP-ABLE (meaning you dont have to turn off the computer to plug one in or disconnect it) and do not require any drivers for Windows/Mac/Linux OSs -- there really isnt reason you shouldnt have one.
Let's discuss some of the different formfactors that we will be dealing with:
2 ½ External Drives. These are normally known as Laptop harddrives. These enclosures are quite a bit smaller and portable than their 3 ½ cousins. However these drives can easily get expensive so the storage to cost ratio of these drives is not as good as the larger ones. We will be discussing creating an 80GB external 2.5" drive.
80GB External At BestBuy $189.99
We can build for around $100.
3 ½ External Drives. Thes are your standard internal IDE drives. I need to mention that you are going to want to purchase an IDE (as in not SATA) drive for this conversion. These drives have a GREAT size to cost ratio, meaning we can purchase a LARGE drive for our backups. I use this type of external drive for backups, I don't really carry it around with me. That is what the 2 1/2 is for.
300GB At BestBuy $259.99
We can build this for around $150

A lot people use the iTrip from Griffin Technology as a way to interface their Ipod with their FM car stereos. In fact is a great wireless FM Transmitter. But the problem is that it has a very short range, and the signal starts breaking up very easily -- Just moving the ipod around your car can lead to static and complete sound fading. A few members at Spymac have come up with a great antenna hack for the iTrip. They are claiming that this mod increases the range to almost 60 feet, which should lead to much cleaner sound in your car.

 7 pin tubular locks - The type of Lock that is on all kinds of equipment, such as vending and soda machines, payphones, car/bike locks, and other equipment that we consider important to protect, is a very flawed product.
You all may remember that older Kryptonite bicycle locks can be opened with with the cap from a plastic pen. The attack works on what locksmiths call the "impressioning" principle. Tubular locks are especially vulnerable to this because all the pins are exposed, and tools that require little skill to use can be relatively unsophisticated.
These locks operate in the "Security through obscurity" principle meaning that the security of these locks is based on the fact that most people don't have access to a pick that can operate around its pins which are positioned all the way around the circumference of the cylinder plug. This makes them much harder to pick. Unless you have the right pick.
