The Netbook Hackintosh Video Apple Made Wired Take Down
Gadget Lab writer and Giz friend Brian X. Chen said earlier today via Twitter that Apple "is suing Wired for my video tutorial on hacking netbooks to run Mac OS X." Updated.
Update 2: Wired got back to us. The official story is that they're not being sued, it was just a misunderstanding by Chen. But Wired has pulled the video after reviewing Apple's complaint about it.

The DRM fight isn’t over yet - Be warned: your account information is stored in every file
Apple's iTunes Store is almost completely DRM-free, and will be entirely DRM-free from spring. This means files downloaded from iTunes work on heaps of devices that aren't from Apple. What better way to celebrate the final bullet to the living corpse of copy protection than by reading everything you need to know about iTunes Plus? There isn't one. And anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar, and not your friend.

Lego Optical Illusion Collection
Few more LEGO impossible structures for you! I have yet again included all the Lego illusions I could find on my computer. Some are better, some are mediocrity, and some of them hardly deserve to be included. It's up to you to decide which one of these photos wins over the competition.

Installing the Windows 7 Beta with Virtual PC 2007 SP1
Yesterday we made the Windows 7 Beta available for public download. Hopefully you’re as excited as I am that the beta is here! The Windows 7 Beta is already getting some rave reviews for its new features, performance, and stability. But it is a beta, and with that comes the potential risk that some things may not work as well as they will in the final release.

Hack your brain - How to hallucinate with ping-pong balls and a radio
DO YOU EVER want to change the way you see the world? Wouldn't it be fun to hallucinate on your lunch break? Although we typically associate such phenomena with powerful drugs like LSD or mescaline, it's easy to fling open the doors of perception without them: All it takes is a basic understanding of how the mind works.

Neunzig Prozent sind von irgendwelchen Drogen abhängig
Nach dem Verbot der Modedroge Spice: Ein "Bio-Spice"-Erfinder über Jugendliche und Drogen, das Internet und kiffende Politiker

Er selbst rauche "zwischen zehn und fünfzehn" Joints am Tag, von harten Drogen wie Kokain rät er jedoch ab. Die Fragen stellte Maria Sterkl.

Convert your Honda Accord to run on trash
We may not yet have a flux capacitor for time travel, but we do already have the equivalent of "Mr. Fusion", which if cleverly applied, will enable you to run your car on everyday "trash"-- today. This "magical" device is called a gasifier. And what it does is called gasification.
