Here’s another video of T-Mobile G1.  I do like the phone but I still have some doubts about the slow T-mobile network.  If I can recall right, the last time I test T-Mobile, it was as slow as AT&T.

I’d wait until a similar phone is available on Sprint or Verizon, I am not sure if I can handle this, iPhone and G1 on the most crappiest networks in America, darn.  There’s goes another couple hundred bucks in my piggy bank, instead of to greedy telecommunication companies.

Here’s a video of the new Mobile GoogleMaps version 2.3.1 with StreetView on my Blackberry 8830.  Above is me spying on Google’s San Francisco headquarter on 345 Spear Street.

Anyways, the new mobile GoogleMaps is pretty darn slow but I ain’t complaining since I am sure they will make it faster in the upcoming versions.

Google has just launched its new Mobile GoogleMaps that includes Street View.  Now you can see the street view on your Blackberry or PDA just like the destop version.

Today we’re launching a new version of Google Maps for mobile with the same street-level imagery available on desktop. Wondering if the restaurant in your search results is the one you’re thinking of? Just click “Street View” after your search to see the storefront. Unsure about a complicated intersection in your directions? Use Street View to see a photo, so there’s no mistaking your turn. You can also launch Street View from any address where we have photography, or simply by clicking on the map and selecting “Street View”. You can browse Street View overlaid on the map or in full screen, rotate your view to see more of your surroundings, and move along the street.

Here’s a great one for you Arduino-geeks, a robot with Arduino controls and CMUCam for sight.

This is my first CMUcam + Arduino version, the code for which will be uploaded soon. As you can see below, it is a bit of a rush-job, caused by the blowing-up of my proper h-bridge, and its replacement with a single power-transistor (click for big version).

Here’s some fun Porsche racing for this weekend. Watch the vid and see how many drivers skid out of contention.

And now they race in the Porsche Supercup series, where they wonder what would happen if you put a couple dozen race-tuned, rear-engined 911s on a rain-soaked grand prix track and told their drivers that there’s a prize waiting for them at the finish line. Follow the jump to see what happened.

Well it comes to us no surprise that one of the Presidential nominees McCain does not know how to use a computer. (For god sakes he’s 72 years old! Let’s hope he doesn’t have a heart attack before the elections)

If we are going to have a computer-illiterate McCain as President, we might as well have this 102 year old woman who has her own Facebook.

What I don’t understand is that McCain has all the money in the world but doesn’t know how to use the computer???  Even my girlfriend “was” a computer illiterate until she started browsing the web for her favorite celebrities and whatnot.

I don’t mind that you can’t type but for god sakes, at least get one of those voice recognition software.  No wonder all those “you suck” e-mails I sent to McCain never got read.  (Darn!)

Okay, enough for political bashing, I guess I am more for Obama at this point, it was always Hillary or Obama for me anyways, no more republicans in the house plz!

Fully Functional NES inside toaster

Check out this cool DIY Nintendo Toaster that encloses the whole Nintendo inside itself.  What I like most about this project is the toaster pop-out function works for the NES cartridges while the toaster LED turns on if the game is on.

I had an awful lot of people suggesting that my previous project (the Super Genintari/Leviticus) looked like a toaster. I then discovered that I had an extra NES and toaster laying around and knew what had to be done.

Ripped all the main guts out of the toaster and replaced them with an NES board, some orange LEDs, AC adapter and controller ports. Kept the front lever functional as the main power on/off switch and the crumb tray just for fun. Composite audio/video jacks are on the rear of the unit. The temperature knob does nothing.

Here’s a cool iPhone hack that an 18 year old uses to control his RC Car.  It maybe helpful for those of you trying to do the same thang.

It has five buttons, four of them you can use for traditional driving and when you press the last one, it unlocks the accelerometer control in the same way as in many driving games available on AppStore.
