Hulu Plus may be blocked on RIM’s PlayBook tablet, but rest assured help is on the way. RIM has already confirmed ongoing discussions with Hulu to get an official app up and running for the PlayBook. That’s all fine and dandy, though no date or timeline has been given as to when we’ll actually see said functionality go live. Thankfully there’s a clever little workaround that’ll get you all the Hulu Plus content on your PlayBook that your...

No, my GTX 580 hasn’t quite arrived yet. That little venture of joy starts tonight. But for those of you who have received your GTX 580′s and prepared to benchmark the living joules out of them, you’ve no doubt found out about Nvidia’s new power-limiting feature of the card. Included within the new drivers are special conditions for certain high-stress applications and services. When certain applications such as popular benchmarking tool, Furmark,...

I thought this was pretty damn sweet. And since I have two copies of an old Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout game for my NES, one of them is becoming a new Wireless router. I know I have brought the fury when it comes to the raping of NES products, but since I have two of them (I stole one from a friend when I was like 8 years old), I am going to use it for this project.

I have loved the original Nintendo Entertainment System since it showed up under my Christmas tree like 25 years ago or whenever it was. I have had a couple of them. Unfortunately, I no longer have my original console, but I do at least have one that still works. Granted, the reason it still works is because I have lungs that double as NES-saving bags of...

iTunes users running OS X, listen up: Do you hate the new vertical control buttons in iTunes? What about the new Ping drop down that pops up inline with every song in your playlist? Personally, I don’t mind either of the new additions. I do wish, however, that Apple would get a little more consistent with UI design choices. But that’s a discussion for another day. Back on topic — If you are aching for the old look pre-vertical buttons/ping,...

There are some mods that just have to be gazed upon. The Robo-Tank you see above is one such item. Not only does it have an M4 Carbine gun mounted to its roof, the beast is completely autonomous and wirelessly controllable. Getting it all to work are Arduino boards, RC servos, an XBee Pro module, treads, RGB color processing software, and plenty of ingenuity. The coolest part of all is that the autonomous mode can even pick out objects by color thanks to the software...
