The new Samsung LCD TVs run Linux for their firmware I guess and here’s some guy who has hacked it so the Samsung TV can do other things such as networking and file share.
Their modified Samsung firmware is available as SamyGo but you will first have to learn to enable telnet into your Samsung TV.
I think this opens a lot of doors for people like me who love hacking linux-based systems. Perhaps you can ev
The Kindle 2 maybe one of the hottest and coolest gadgets this year. Aside from its magnificent strategies to cut down on number of trees used for making books, the Kindle 2 is portable, energy efficient (with its LCD), and also free broadband connection via EDVO so you can buy and download digital versions of practically every new book that you’d normally get at your local bookstore.
Anyways, the only thing that SUCKS about the Kindle 2 is
HackTheV3.com has some great collection of Motorola V3 Hacks including step-by-step instructions on how to flex the firmware, installing new languages, and lots more.
This website contains everything I have learned from programming 31 V3s so far, some many times over and over. I’ve done everything in this site that I’ve written about so I know that everything works. Since I host the ma
If you have bought older generation of iPods, you are in luck as Rockbox 3.0 firmware was just released to the public.
What does it do? Basically it allows you to free yourself from iTunes and do a lot more with old equipment.
Since Apple has stopped developing the firmware for the older iPods (yes, they keep making new ones to make more money, how greedy!), this Rockbox provides users with alternative way to upgrade their old iPods.
I personally have the 40GB model of the iPod shown in the pic, I should be doing a short DIY write-u

Here’s a little hack on HOWTO update your Arduino Chip from David Fowler. (Thanks David!)
After doing the reset mod to my Arduino Compatible Bare Bones Boards I wanted to update the firmware to get the full benefit of the Diecimila update. I followed the directions on the Arduino website but could not succeed. I sent emails and did web searches and still did not find the answer. Ultimately with the help of David Mellis, one of the Arduino Team members, we figured out that it can not be done from the IDE using the simple cable described at the

So we made the MP3 player and it works freakin’ great! The sound quality was as good as an off-the-shelf MP3s. We plan to hack it using a CuTOUCH CT1720 and make some cool touchscreen menus for it.
Here’s some pictures of how it will fit in the touchscreen enclosure: (It fit perfectly!)
The only hurdle we face now is changing the firmware of the MP3 player a littl
