[Pelaca] upgraded the RAM on his D-Link DIR-320 router from 32MB to 64MB. This hack is simple enough: swap out the existing RAM chip for another one and change the bios to make use of the upgrade. The actual execution is not that simple because of the pitch of the TSOP II package; you’ll need to bring your mad soldering skills to pull this off.
This reminds us of when upgrading original Xbox RAM to 128MB was all the rage. It involved the same type of hack, adding four memory chips to unpopulated positions on the motherboard. The forums…

PS3 Slim Teardown
The new PS3 Slim has just been released, and ifixit has already posted a teardown. First, they easily removed the included 120GB hard drive, suggesting that upgrading it shouldn’t be too hard. In order to get inside the cover, however, they needed to use a security Torx screwdriver. In the end, the Blu-ray drive turned out to be the bulkiest component, followed by some surprisingly gigantic fans. Hopefully this means that Sony won’t have to deal with overheating issues.

Signs Point To Launch Of Facebook Profile Fans Feature
There’s a new feature within the email notifications area of Facebook which enables users to receive an email every time somebody “Connects to me as a fan”.

The combination of profile fans and the new granular publisher controls will help complete the twitterfication of Facebook.

The greatest improvement is the ability to filter through those messages that have been unread.

Facebook said that the new version of the inbox will be rolled out over the coming weeks. Facebook also states that “The new Inbox design gives you more control over organizing…
