  1. A hackaday keeps the teachers... by sponga · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Enthusiast Hacks WiFi Into Treo 650

    I have been following this site the last few months and they seem to be on top of all the cool little do it yourself hacks/tweaks coming out these days for electronics. http://www.hackaday.com/

  2. Wonder how long till these... by lordsilence · · Score: 1 · on Time Sharing Cars

  3. Just general hacks by buffoverflow · · Score: 0 · on What Interests High-School Students?

    If you want to expose them to a broad variety of tech, and keep them interested, how about general hardware/gadget hacks. Have them do some of the projects on http://www.hackaday.com/, or Christopher Murphy's "Hardware Hacking Projects". You can break into smaller groups of interest on multiple projects, and the students would get exposed to electronics, programming, schematics, etc. Teach them to destroy dad's TiVo.

  4. Re:Security? by dshaw858 · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft's Upcoming Desktop Search Tool

    There are some holes in Google Desktop Search that are pretty easy to exploit with local access to a machine. Although, true, there are much worse things you could do with local access, this does have the capability to allow outside users to search the computer, which logs AIM conversations, web page history, documents... all handily in one place. Also, the current version of GDS searches all users of a computer. Is GDS likely to get exploited? No. Does it have the potential to be horribly destructive? Yes.

  6. Hackaday by Marxist+Hacker+42 · · Score: 1 · on An LCD Display for an Ultra-Portable Desktop?

    http://www.hackaday.com/ had a mod of a $40 joystick with 2" LCD display for use with a Media Center PC a few days ago (look in the archives)- I bet you could do something with that (and it seems to use standard connectors to boot).
