Photobucket Hack 2007-03-10 21:56:00 Here's an interesting hack for all you Photobucket
users out there. This hack, from the MySpace Hacks blog, allows you to view all the pictures in anyone's Photobucket album. And you only need to have access to one of their photos to do it!So, how do you do it? Well, first off you have to be signed into your Photobucket account. Then according to the hack author:1. You need to have access to a picture the person posted via photobucket..i.e on their myspace, webpage, livejournal etc. or you can try searching for their user name on photobucket.2. Ok, if you found and image, right click and select properties3. Open Notepad, or some sort of web publisher. Copy & paste the image location. It would look something like this for example: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/wawadhsjkd/us.jpg4. Now, here's the actual photobucket hack: (you'll have to copy & paste it line by line sorry)http://smg.photobucket.com/svc/api.php?method=getuseralbum&version=1.0&media=all&album_name=/
Ultimate Dance Deck 2.0 Hack 2007-03-13 22:45:00 Here's a hack for all you hardcore gamers out there! Jared Bouck from the Inventgeek.com site created and "ultimate dance deck" for his Xbox. And when he says "ultimate dance deck"...he ain't kiddin'!You've probably seen those dance arcade games with the large plexi-glass dance decks attached to them. Well, Jared decided to make a couple of those...for his home video game system! He used an Xbox for this particular hack, but the whole set up would be easily converted to be compatible with a Playstation.So, how did Jared make his "UltimateDance
Deck"? Well, he started by creating a frame out of 1" square stainless steel tubing. He used 1" thick Acrylite acrylic tiles for the deck and used an exsisting off-the-shelf Xbox dance pad as inspiration for the "Ultimate Dance Deck's" control system. The details of the actual hack are too exhaustive to go over here. But, suffice it to say, once down you'll definitely have one hell of a conversation piece for you and your gamer bud
Homemade iPod Dock Hack 2007-03-13 03:14:00 Okay...so you've probably seen a number of homemade, DIY iPod
docks out there. But, this one is so slick looking that I had to feature it!Kauz decided he'd create a homemade dock for his iPod Nano, that didn't look homemade at all. Kauz started his dock by making an inner case out of thick white plastic and mounting the original iPod USB connector inside. He hot-glued all the plastic components together and voila his inner case was finished. Kauz could have stopped there; the inner case would work just fine as an iPod dock. But, he went the extra mile and created a transparent outer casing out of resin. This gave the dock a more "Apple" feel to it. The final results quite impressive!To check out the whole hack click here.
Wii Nunchuck LED Hack 2007-03-15 03:07:00 Here's a sweet little hack for all you Wii
gamers out there. It involves taking a Nintendo Wii nunchuck controller and adding LEDs under the stick for an awesome new look!Okay...so this hack isn't going to change the world, win a Noble Prize, or even change the way you game. But, it's so frickin' cool you'll be running out and buying LEDs to hack up your own Wii nunchuck! Seriously!!So, how is the hack done? Well, Finch from the WiiCade.com forums, does an excellent job of explaining exactly how he did it. He began by taking the outer casing of his Wii nunchuck off to get at the innards. Finch then bent his coloured LED to fit perfectly inside the Wii nunchuck and soldered the leads to the two test points (noting polarity). Finally, he shoved everything back into the casing, closed it up and plugged it in. The final results are pretty impressive!To check out the whole hack click here. Read more:Nunchuck
Sixth Sense Wi-Fi Hack 2007-03-16 03:20:00 Here's an interesting hack from the I Make Projects site. It involves creating a device that gives you a "sixth sense" for detecting wireless hotspots and wi-fi signal strength. After reading this hack you're gonna sit back and say "WOW!"So, what the hell is this device anyways? Well, according to the author it is:a small electronic unit that allows the user to sense the presence and relative signal strength of wireless hotspots. It can be worn as a pendant or carried in a pocket. It is "always on" and communicates the presence and signal strength of an in-range hotspot by way of sequences of pulses - like a heartbeat you can feel. The stronger and faster the "heartbeat", the stronger the wireless signal detected.How can you make your own? First off, you'll need "a microcontroller, some custom interface electronics, a small vibe motor, and an off-the-shelf Wi-Fi detector." Once you have all your materials together, you basically hook up your wi-fi detector to the vibe motor. Th Read more:Sixth

Laptop Battery Hack Revisited 2007-03-16 22:10:00 At the beginning of the month I did a write up on how to refill a laptop battery, by hacking it up and putting in new battery cells. This great hack allows you to save a bundle of money!Well, I just recieved an email from Kipkay letting me know he has done this exact same hack. But, as you probably already know, Kipkay doesn't just write about his hacks...he video tapes them and posts them for all to see.

Pen Safe: Smash or Trash?!?! 2007-03-16 21:48:00 It's time for The Daily Hack's "Smash
or Trash
?!?!" vote. This week we have an interesting(?) hack from the Instructables site. Brennn10 has written up an instructable on how to use a pen as a money safe.Basically, you take a pen (one of those thick ones) and take the ink "cartridge" out of it. You then roll up your paper money small enough to fit into your pen casing and close it up again. That's it! So what do you think? Let us know by voting below.Get Free Opinion Polls
