Here’s a cool little hack that let’s you get free wifi from Starbucks or AT&T Hotspots!

Basically, you change the “User-Agent” to iPhone User Agent, which is the header part of HTTP transmission.

Then you put in the phone number of any of your friends’ iPhone. I personally know about 3 people in my cellphone address book, so this should be piece of cake.

For Firefox, you can download User Agent Switcher Plugin to change the User Agent.

Definitely, this is the easiest hack I’ve seen so far for cracking Wifi hotspots.

Here’s how to do it on a MAC:

1. Open Safari while connected to a AT&T wifi
2. Enter the Preferences, select the Advanced tab, and then select Show the Develop menu in the menu bar
3. From the Develop menu select User Agent
4. Select the iPhone User-Agent
5. The page will reload and ask for a geniune iPhone number. Everybody has a friend with an iPhone, right?
6. Welcome to free internet from Starbucks

Here’s a great news that you can now put Google Earth into your website using Google Earth API.

The Google Earth Plug-in and its JavaScript API let you embed Google Earth, a true 3D digital globe, into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers and lines, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. If you have an existing Maps API site, you can 3D-enable your page with as little as one line of code.

Here’s a video demo of the new feature just added to the SiteHoppin Toolbar for Firefox that can save you 5 minutes or more of your daily web browsing time. Great for bloggers…

SiteHoppin Private Beta Toolbar v.1.3 is now out, which integrates online tagging/hopping together.

What does it do?

Basically, it allows you to “hop” your favorite bookmarks using tags.  (I cut down about 20 minutes of time in browsing tech blogs I go to.  You could probably save a lot of time using this function if you visit 10-20 same sites daily)

We still got a lot of improving to do but the beta version is out so get it here. (If you need an invite, send me an e-mail at zedomax [at] gmail.com)

My first job ever was at Pizza Hut where I took orders, made pizza, and delivered.  It was probably the most fun job I ever had as I got to do everything including making myself some custom pizzas at the end of the day.

I’d still work at Pizza Hut if they paid me more than what I made now.  Make sure to tip your pizza delivery guy right, I always tip at least $3 and $5 when i have money.

Anyways, Pizza Hut launches their new Adobe Flex App, it’s basically a desktop app that lets you order your pizza faster.

Schlage announces their new web-enabled door locks which can be controlled/monitored through the web and your cellphone.

Schlage is adding an automated twist to its well-known door locks: a wireless, Internet-enabled product that can be locked, unlocked and monitored via PC, cell phone, or any other device with a Web browser.

The product is based on Schlage’s line of keypad locks, “which outsold all competitive locks within the first year of being officially launched,” according to Dwight Gibson, general manager, Intelligent Residential Security, for Ingersoll Rand, the parent company of Schlage.

Well, I have to tell you the truth now. The truth? I did get to test all the Nokia 8800 series at the Nokia booth couple weeks ago at Web 2.0 Expo 2008.

The reason why I didn’t post my pics or videos is partly I didn’t have time to and also because the web browsers on the new Nokia are so horrible. They are not even recommended for any kind of web browsing as most sites will break.

However, I did find Nokia E90 had a great browser. Nokia needs to put that browser on their new phones.

I think all cellphone manufacturers should at least have a phone that lives up to the iPhone standards.

iPhone’s Safari supports Javascript, AJAX, and CSS among many other things Windows Mobile and Opera Mobile doesn’t support.

Now, if we can just get some WiMax to come through, that’d make perfect combo.

My suggestion? If you don’t care about the internet browsing capability, the Nokia looks great and you can get one but for me, it’s really “for show and no go” if the browser isn’t up to iPhone standards.

We just launched Gooef.com, an eco-friendly and green search engine over at Keetsa.com.  If you are into eco-friendly stuff, try typing in something like, “gadgets” and you will get a nice list of eco-friendly and green gadgets.

I know, the name sounds kinda goofy but the “ef” actually stands for “eco-friendly”.

Keetsa Blog, an eco-friendly and green blog in the Zedomax Network, launches Gooef.com, an eco-friendly and green search engine.

We did launch Goohack.com and Goodrunk.com last week, we figure these search engines are fun and decided to add more.

For example, you can type “designer bags” on Gooef and get a good list of eco-friendly designer bags back as the result.

Here’s a current list of sites included in the new eco-friendly and green search engine:

keetsa.com | groovyvegetarian.com | inhabitat.com | treehugger.com | buildinggreentv.com | bdpollution.blogspot.com | blog.jollygreengirl.com | equitygreen.typepad.com | victoria-e.com | ecoshopper.net | g2bgreen.com | carteroosterhouse.com | re-nest.com
