Want your Firefox 3 browser to be location-savvy?

The purpose of Geode is to give current Firefox installations the option to specify location, determined through Skyhook’s Loki Wi-Fi mapping service, with varying levels of exactness, to be manually chosen by the user.

Here, in the maudlin sculpture Zombie Apocafest 2008, we see the battle depicted in the only artistic medium that will survive when Man is literally blinded by his own arrogance, LEGO. This diorama was built by participants of the recent BrickCon 2008. May it serve ...

Just a few days ago, iPhone developers started receiving a test version of the iPhone 2.2 software. Oddly, the only item Apple chose to list in the patch notes was “compatibility testing” - no mention of new features, specific bug fixes, or, well, anything. Tired of staring at this list of lies, the craftier amongst the crowd decided to delve a bit deeper. So far, they’ve already unearthed three features most would consider worthy of ...

Dear iPhone Users: If you have jailbroken your first-gen or 3G iPhone, change your root password. If you have jailbroken your iPhone, your default root password is "alpine." This puts you at a distinct security disadvantage when connected to open networks as it allows the nefarious to browse your entire iPhone with impunity. This is pretty old news but I was just reminded how dangerous this is this morning when an iPhone showed up on ...
