Posted by samzenpus on from the still-no-pencil-hack dept.

ancientribe writes "Nothing was sacred to hackers in '07 — not cars, not truckers, and not even the stock exchange. Dark Reading reviews five hacks that went after everyday things we take for granted even more than our PC's — our car navigation system, a trucker's freight, WiFi connections, iPhone, and (gulp) the electronic financial trading systems that record our stock purchases and other online transactions."

    Yippie, another slashdigg toplist! I fucking hate you!

    In other news, last week I hacked a Nokia 6280 and Nokia 6288 to make a phone with the 6280's hardware (better buttons) with the 6288's software. It all went together almost perfectly, with just a bit of filing on one of the case covers. I have a lot of experience hacking shit together.
