One more reason why we can not wait for the iPhone SDK to drop. GameSetWatch has a short interview up with developer Steve D of Demiforce about his new iPhone game, Trism. It'sa Bejeweled gem-like matching puzzle game, but the twist is that after getting matched, the gems fall in the direction that the iPhone's accelerometer tells them to fall. It's wild stuff, and you can see it clearly in the video above.
He's playing the game on a jailbroken iPhone, but it's still a work in progress, so the game is not available to the public yet. Depending on the terms of the iPhone SDK, he's looking at porting it over to that and releasing it via whatever distribution system Apple comes up with. And he cooked up this thing in about ten days (he wanted to rush it to show it off at GDC last week), so if Apple is able to include smaller developers like Steve in their SDK setup, we'll see some terrific software like off the line in no time at all.

OK, they did not really try to fry an egg. But for those of us using those first-searing heat MBP's, you'll be happy to know the Penryn MacBook Pro's are a little cooler (temperature-wise anyway). On average, about 10 ° F cooler, and the fans run slower and quieter. Sorry if this kills any MacGuyver-esque plans of using Penryn laptops as emergency griddles.

We've actually posted about Smart Scroll before, but the video is a pretty good demonstration of what's happening here. I'm not quite sure this is something Apple will want to implement in the OS, however - it feels right enough on the iPhone, but I kind of like that my scroll wheel stops when I tell it to. If you'd rather have the iPhone experience on your usual Mac, however, the app is available as a free trial, or a complete license for $ 19.

Retro Thing, one of my favorite blogs, points out this clever hack. The iPod nano is great, but that screen is a little small for watching movies. How do you solve that problem? Well, if you have some time, a 35mm slider viewer, and some small speakers you can hack together a solution (as seen in the video.)
The movie looks pretty good, though this solution does make the iPod just a little less portable. That's the great thing about hacks, though, they do not need to be practical to be awesome.

My Time Capsule is sitting somewhere in China at the moment, but our friends over at Engadget managed to get their hands on one, and they have even posted some unboxing pictures. They note that the device itself is a little larger than you might think it is based on looking at the pictures on Apple.com.

Guess what's come out of the pumpkin patch news service this time? A video that shows hackers using iTunes to restore an already-jailbroken and activated 1.1.4. The iPhone software bundle (the ipsw file) has been pre-hacked and updates through iTunes to a fully hacked system. Like other hack previews, this one is not yet ready for prime-time. The developers put this together as a proof-of-concept, but hey'll likely be releasing this method when the actual SDK comes out.
Congratulations again to Pumpkin, roxfan, Turbo, wizdaz, bgm, np101137 and the iPhone dev team.

The PowerBook as a sheet of drawing
February 29, 2008
Public willingly, after weeks from what I had pointed out, the PowerBook of ether and custom designed in a sudden desire of its holder to vent his creative vein which, by failing sheets available at that time, had to fold sull'unica what he had before if you lent a minimum: the front screen of his PowerBook (nicknamed Chandler).
Pleasant and fun is also the storiealla that ether tells blog about what happened all:
"I maledettamente need to draw, hold the steering wheel!"
'C cabbage… What are you doing, cursed rincoglionito? "
The Little Red Shark began zigzagare for asphalt eroded, while Mescaline, controvoglia, tried to keep it straight on the road.Aprii drawer of the passenger side, in that moment I and the junkie sembravamo engaged in a more intricate and three-dimensional phase game Twister: the wheel had decreed "feet on the pedals" "ribs exchange rate" and, finally, "hands on the drawer ". To compare seemed to be going better, tuttosommato, although had to endure the cumbersome presence of myself, while armeggiavo stuck with the lock of the door.
Opening the evil accrocchio with a cazzotto, whose recoil allowed to handbrake of ispezionarmi to fund the pleura, while sgualciti sheets and paper cuttings innalzavano turbinando outside the window.
Maledetti windows open, damned air currents!Mescaline was at stremo of endurance for my stuffed and colorful imprecazioni, so I convinced to return to my place with the efficient help of persuasive ginocchiate on the sternum.
I had sheets, and inspiration rombava still among the labyrinths of the brain. I could fail to leave soccorrerla and freeze between those walls as Nicholson in The Shining? Never!
"Feel good, here I must vent my unconditional creativity, and there will be no way, this time, impedirmelo. Then see to be more collaborative, at least for five minutes five! "
"Eccheccristo, so when you think it is impossible… It is that the devil you do that? Forget scarabocchiarmi of the underwear, piece of pervertito drunk, see uscirtene with something sensible and feasible. "Invocai the help of a saint disregarded by every church, protector of arrangioni and inspiration of large companies with small means.
"Oh powerful Angus! May your spirit guidarmi towards resolving this dilemma, may your wisdom smanettona directing my creativity to a thriving and healthy beach! How grateful I offer you this lighter exhaust, and a hair clip, hoping to be're happy and very useful. "
And, as always in these cases, the primordial need to make art found sfoghi unexpected, whose witness list below.
That is, the outlet, would be the PowerBook, which was subjected to this "restyling" not bad.
What do you think?
