The advent of the digital age has definitely made this world a more convenient place to live in.

However, owning an ebook reader could cost you a few hundred dollars, and if…

Ubuntu 9.04 on Kindle 2
Having read books on a Palm device for years we were excited when Amazon came up with the Kindle. Our problem is that if you’re going to carry around a portable device it should do a whole lot more than just display text from a few books. [Jesse Vincent] managed to get Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope running on the Kindle 2. This opens up endless possibilities to run whatever you want on this hardware.
The new functionality was presented in a talk at OSCON 2009. Be warned, [Jesse] has a very high geeky-hacker level. Make sure you have a…

Arduino based synthesizer
[Jacob] is working on his final project for the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design. Based around Arduino, the quality and quantity of his build notes make this a fascinating read and there are several examples to listen to.
The project features a brilliant idea for input: He uses a 1/8″ TRS connector (mini-jack) whose tip is the input to the DAC of the Arduino. There are conductive pads in the shape of a keyboard that you touch the tip of the connector to in order to complete the circuit. Alternatively, the other two conductors on the connector deliver power…

You may be asking, “Ok, so why does that matter?” Well, all of your IP traffic can be piped through an ICMP tunnel, disguising all your surfing as simple ping packets. [Thomer] has a detailed guide…

What Developers And Marketers Need To Know About Facebook’s New Inbox And Notification APIs
This afternoon Facebook is announcing an extended set of features for developers including a new Inbox API and Notification API. The first announcement is a big one: “The Inbox API allows you to access your users’ messages, once they grant your application the new read_mailbox extended permission.” That means we could soon see a ton of new applications built around managing users’ Facebook inboxes. The one downside of this new feature is that applications cannot currently send messages.
What’s Being Added?
