The Bomb-Sniffing Gadget That's (Definitely Not) Saving Iraq
The promise of the ADE 651 is seductive: a handheld detector, which susses out bombs, guns, drugs, and human bodies from up to a kilometer away. And the Iraqi military swears by it! One problem: It doesn't seem to work. More » -

Blacksn0w, child of overserious shadow-lurker GeoHot and brother of equally straighforward jailbreak app Blackra1n, is now available, and should make unlocking your late-version iPhone 3G or 3GS a dead-simple process. Before you dive in, though, there's one caveat: More » -

First Look at the Apple Stores' New Mutant EasyPay iPod Touches
Since 2005, Apple stores have been ringing up purchases with wireless handheld point-of-sale terminals. This always felt a little odd, partly because you never see a register, but mostly because the devices run Windows. Not anymore! More » -

Chorus for iPhone Puts a Better App Store Inside the App Store
Oh, App Store: You're a chore to navigate, difficult to search, and offer only the most superficial guidance as to which apps are actually good. Chorus—an app recommendation app, as awkward as that sounds—helps cut through the noise. More » -

iPhone Ebooks: The New Fart Apps
A buzzy new report says that iPhone ebook apps are on the rise, and accounted for more new apps in October—nearly a fifth—than even games. It's unexpected and exciting, but what does it mean? Spam, is what. More » -

Confirmed: CERN Is Just a Huge Half-Life Level
Plenty of people have given CERN and Half-Life's Black Mesa research facility the This Thing Looks Like That Thing treatment, but this tour of the facility's deepest bowels is just too much. Steam geysers? Endless corridors? Rusty valves? Slime growths? More » -

Apple and Palm: The iTunes Syncing Fight Is Officially Dumb
OK Palm, it was cute the first time you cracked iTunes to sync with the Pre. And Apple, I guess I can understand why you'd want to keep control over your software. But really guys? Still? You look silly. More » -

How Palm Lost (Like Apple in the '80s)
The Droid, and Android 2.0 as a whole, isn't going to kill the iPhone. That's ridiculous. Teamed with the iPhone, though, it just straight up murdered Palm—the same way that Microsoft brought Apple to its knees decades ago. More » -

Sprint's just gone public with its plans for the Pixi: a single c-note, payable November 15th. It's not the aggressive, bottom-scraping pricing I was hoping to see for Palm's second, daintier webOS device, and just $50 less than the Pre.
