Axis Typographic Maps

The combination of cartography and typography is pretty much everything GP could ask for in a print. Clearly we’re not alone in this sentiment, judging by Axis Map’s decision to create the Typographic Maps ($15-$195) series. These prints accurately depict the streets, highways, parks, neighborhoods, coastlines, and physical features of Chicago or Boston using nothing but type

Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Gets Delayed

Yesterday the Chronic Dev Team were due to launch the Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, unfortunately it has now been delayed, because of the recent release of Limera1n. The Chronic Dev team have decided to delay the release, because the Limera1n jailbreak uses a different exploit that the SHatter exploit that was going to be used in Greeenpois0n. If the Chronic Dev Team had released Greenpois0n using the SHatter exploit, Apple would have a chance to patch it, and the LimeRa1n exploit, but by holding off they are saving the SHatter exploit for a future date, which makes it better for the jailbreaking community. Instead the Chronic Dev Team are working on Greenpois0n using the same exploit that GeoHot has used in Limera1n, you can see what they had to say about his release below

Android Market update brings Froyo Automatic Updating To Eclair devices

Section: Communications , Cellular Providers , Smartphones , Mobile It looks like those sporting an Android 2.1 running device will soon be getting (or have already) an update to the Android Market. This update is sneaky and comes without any effort on your part, thankfully though it brings a nice feature—the ability to automatically update app. The version of the Market is ‘version 2007’ which can be verified by going to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications and then scrolling down to and selecting Market. Once there you should see the version number towards the top. Or perhaps a little easier is to simply launch the Market and choose an app, any app should do and then look for the “Allow automatic updating” along with the check box

Gear Deal: October is ProClip USA Customer Appreciation Month with a 10% Discount

I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly worrying about having to juggle my iPhone (with the map on it) while I’m driving.  I don’t want to–it’s dangerous, and makes me nervous as heck.  And personally, I hate those vocal, turn-by-turn programs–”In 100 feet, turn right!” generic woman with bland voice says brightly.  It’s not for me. Proclip has always offered multiple solutions, and this month there’s an incentive to buy one and stop my stressful juggling attempts:  they are offering 10% off of their products at checkout time.

Where is Minigore Co-op on the iPhone?

I’ve posted on nearly every single Minigore ($0.99)  update and relayed the news in April that v1.27 would be the last update before co-op gameplay , so I thought I’d take just a moment to ask: Uhh, where’s that co-op gameplay, folks? As of right now, the Minigore blog seems to say co-op is coming in Episode 4, but this epic fourth episode doesn’t really seem to have a release date.

Beefy battery backup still running after a decade

In 1997 [Michael Butkus Jr.] found an uninterruptible power supply in the dumpster. The batteries were shot, but he needed a backup to keep his pellet stove running for heat, drive the exhaust fan to keep the smoke out of the house, and power his computer and other electronics. After a bit of head scratching he decided to beef up the UPS using deep-cycle batteries
