The Old-School Calculator iPhone 4 case brings back a lot of memories. I remember I had a calculator just like it, and for you kids that don’t know what I’m talking about, go through some of your parents’ old stuff, you might find one and see how cool those calculators were.
The case looks pretty realistic from the pictures with all the major keys that we needed in the good old days. The “calculator” display window shows the digits “07734” and of course that turned upside down spells “hello”, which was one of the coolest tricks back in the day. Read More →

Hackers exploited the 3 major browsers on day one of Pwn2Own. As expected, IE8, FireFox and Safari were all penetrated within minutes of the competition starting.
Most impressively, Peter Vreugdenhil, was able to exploit a vulnerability in IE8 on Windows 7 allowing him to bypass the operating systems DEP (Data Execution System) security mechinism designed to stop this sort of attack. Vreugdenhil, a first time Pwn2Own participant, earned a $10,000 prize for his efforts.
The only browser left standing after day one was Google Chrome.
Centercode, the guys behind OnlineBeta.com, have just announced a new community: iPadBeta.com.
We’re pleased to announce iPadBeta.com, a new unique user community being offered by Centercode. Unlike other communities we’ve announced in the past which use our software, iPadBeta.com is owned by Centercode and will act as a sister community to OnlineBeta.com, but focused specifically on the Apple mobile platform
Very similar to the OnlineBeta.com project, iPadBeta will allow users to sign up to test new iPad/iPhone/iTouch apps. The site allows users to chat about the new product in forums, create problem reports and submit bug reports.
App developers will have FREE access to a wealth of knowledge and, what I’m sure will be, a huge tester community.
App Developers are each given their own private projects which include bug and feature tracking, custom surveys, discussion forums, custom wikis, build distribution, tester participation monitoring, reporting, and much more. iPadBeta.com will also recruit App Testers matching the Developers market; or they can invite their own friends and customers. Developers will also have access to market research materials on the App market, as well as the ability to request custom research. These services are all offered at no cost, with no ads.
Am I disappointed? Well … yes and no. It’s cool, it’s really f-ing cool. It’s almost exactly what I expected from Apple, but it’s not exactly what I wanted.
[singlepic id=143 w=500 h= float=]I think it’s evident by many of the speculative renderings that some additional connectivity was expected. We wanted, at the very least, a built in USB port. I think the other thing everyone wanted was a full-blown version of OS-X and not the iPod Touch software running on a large screen.
Oh, and can I just mention the name…. Uhm. iPad just sounds like a feminine product. I don’t know why, since crunchpad sounds like a great name and doesn’t bring tampax to mind, but I can’t shake the image….
Anyway — I can’t wait to get my hands on one for a little real-word play. Maybe it’ll be enough for me — at the very least, it’ll make a great little news-reader and e-book platform.
[editors note: Personally, any phone that has cutting edge Text to Toast and a coffee warmer is on my christmas list. Screw the iPhone, I'm an xPhone fanboy now!]
