This cool t-shirt has a wifi signal detector built in. When walking around the t-shirt will display the strength of wi-fi signals around you. This will save valuable minutes as it hunts for a signal for you. Once you see the signal bars increase you can then whip out the laptop and get working away. Too bad it doesn’t show the SSID’s and if WEP is enabled. It will detect 802.11b or 802.11g signals. Also the t-shirt is machine washable. Just make sure you take out the battery pack and screen before putting it through a spin cycle. 3 AAA batteries will power this beast for several hours.

Remove the black part, the three screws, and the aluminum case. Disconnect the wire connecting the phone to the case. Also remove the metal cover over the comm. board. This is all the disassembly you have to do. If you feel like being safe, desolder the battery red lead.
The red line is covering the A17 trace. In order to trick the chip into thinking the flash is erased in the correct section, you will need to pull this high. Scrape away at the trace with something like a multimeter probe. Then solder a very thin wire to it. Be very careful. Only scrape away at that solder mask above that one trace. This is the hardest step in the whole process; the rest is cake. Also solder a wire to the 1.8v line. Connect to wire coming from the trace and the wire coming from the 1.8v to your unlock switch. Be careful, you only get one chance to do this right. Read more… »

With yesterday’s leak, Gateway’s press conference was a bit short on surprise this morning, but the Gateway One is indeed official, and it really doesn’t look half bad. The one mystery left was the screen, which turns out to be a 1400 x 900 19-incher, which feels a bit small in this day and age, but leaves the One’s footprint at an acceptable size. Other niceities include dual easy-swap hard drive slots accessed by lifting off the back cover of the computer, and adjustable tilt through a stand in the back. The included mouse, keyboard and remote are all wireless and pre-synced with the computer, while the web-cam is a USB add-on accessory which comes in the box and can be perched up top, and the top-end One comes with a USB TV tuner as well. Otherwise the specs are as expected, with prices ranging from $1,300 to $1,800 and late October availability.

This cool looking computer was built by Computer Choppers and was finished earlier this year. It was made by using the very popular DIGG logo. It was completely custom built using MDF and it has a blue pearl custom paint job. A cool few features I spotted are the backlit DIGG letters and a cool small LCD screen built in to the case which shows a Digg story which is current on the site. This LCD screen can be customised to show other details.
The DIGG PC is quite a beast too with some impressive specs. It has an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor, with 3GB of DDR2 memory, 3 x 500GB hard drives, a 580 watt PSU and a lot more which you can check out over at the auction. Yes, it is up for grabs on eBay.
