And it’s done. The Pre is now hackable and can be moved over to Verizon. The price for a pre on eBay is roughly $350. Hmmmmm.

Amazing band. Amazing live. Saw them at the Hard Rock Vegas with My Chemical Romance. They were better.

Firefox 3.5 arrives

Posted June 30, 2009 – in: Blog, Web

I just installed it. It takes a little getting used to. Some of the GUI has changed (size of the tabs which make overall screen space larger but is a little unusual at first), overall changes make it feel faster. The rendering engine feels smooth and I can’t wait to try some embedded media. Welcome home HTML 5!

If I had to guess I would say that this will be available just before God of War III comes out. I would love to replay the first two.

Video: Palm Pre caught playing with GSM SIM in Vietnam – Engadget

Posted June 30, 2009 – in: Blog, Cell Phone, Linux, Palm Pre, Technology

WTF! After seeing this I would say that bringing the Pre to AT&T will be accomplished before bringing it to Verizon (at least by hack). Hmmm can I drop my SIM card in it?
