Team Xecuter has just released a proof of concept video showing a highly modified Xbox 360 Slim booting up a backup of Crackdown 2. In other words, “the group says they’ve successfully patched the DVD drive to play burned discs.”
Better still, they’re promising that a public release of said patch “will be available shortly” to help you unlock a Stealthbox by your lonesome.

Spiffy, is on the verge of being awesome. Spiffy is simple, and that is partially because it is available in a portable form. The rest of the simplicity comes from being able to configure up to 5 Gmail accounts in a few minutes.

John Carmack showed off an incredible Rage tech demo at QuakeCon 2010 running at a blistering 60-frames-per-second. Believe it or not, he also said “it still ‘runs great on an original 2G iPhone’ as well.”
We’re sorry, but the Palm Pixi’s rendition of Need for Speed no longer impresses us — we’ve just seen John Carmack show off Rage for iPhone.

Google announced a new Android feature called Voice Actions today, and it’s useful, but maybe not a big enough deal to warrant the press conference they held for it. Voice Actions allows you to control your Android phone (2.2 Froyo only) with spoken commands: you can send email, call any contact, get a map of a location, load a webpage or leave a note to yourself.
Here’s the full list of commands:
- send text to [contact] [message]
- listen to [artist/song/album]
- call [business]
- call [contact]
- send email to [contact] [message]
- go to [website]
- note to self [note]
- navigate to [location/business name]
- directions to [location/business name]
- map of [location]

Times, one of the more interesting RSS reader options on OS X, just got an iPad version. The iPad is a perfect fit for Times’ newspaper-like layout, which looks more like a magazine in the iPad version. As much as I love Flipboard as a way to read articles on the iPad, I know that some people aren’t hooked into the social networks that Flipboard relies on for links. If you want a nearly-as-elegant app that just lets you read your feeds, Times is it.
Now, a couple of caveats. First, Times on the iPad doesn’t sync with Times on your Mac, and it doesn’t sync with Google Reader. That means you’ll have to get feeds onto your iPad some other way … like, manually adding them, which is a pain. The good news is that once you get those feeds in there — which will be easier when Times 2.0 for Mac comes out, with syncing — they’re sorted into customizable categories and column layouts.
The pricetag is $7.99, but Times has enough polish and attention to detail to be worth it if you need a newsreader that truly designed for the iPad.

Bynamite is that it looks slick. It’s a service that purports to let you easily opt out of over 100 ad networks and specify what interests you (and what doesn’t) so that you can get better targeted advertising.
It’s not an ad blocker. It’s a browser add-on for Firefox and Chrome that’s coupled with a website. Once you install the add-on, it crunches for a while (you see a progress bar), and then you’re presented with whatever fields of interest the tool found for you (i.e., interests that advertisers have mapped out for you without your knowledge). For my Chrome Canary installation, it found nothing, which makes sense (it’s my “test” browser). You can add interests and remove any interests that are inaccurate. According to their FAQ, Bynamite then “manages your opt-out preferences across over a hundred ad networks.”
You don’t have to open an account, and they don’t take your email address or any other identifiable information. So,
All in all, the service feels solid. It lets you keep ads on but make them less annoying. This way, everybody wins, and the Internet stays free (as in beer). That’s the premise, at least.

Aside from looking like a factory built console, the HandyDuo is capable of playing both NES and SNES games, without having to replace / remove any parts. Video after the break.
Under the hood of the HandyDuo are components of a RetroDuo system with an integrated PSOne screen, and a pair of 4250 mAh batteries to juice it up.

Artist Dalton Ghetti took his skills and creativity to the next level by creating these incredible pencil tip sculptures — some are even carved directly into the pencil’s body.
From a miniature bust of Elvis Presley wearing shades to tiny hammers and old boots, his work is mind boggling.
