How to tether the iPhone 3G and browse the web on your laptop

It may be against your carrier’s terms of use, but tethering the iPhone 3G is a great way to hit the Web while on the road. It was great for the first-gen iPhone with EDGE, but it’s even better now with 3G connectivity.

First, you’re going to need an iPhone 3G that’s been jailbroken, and two things called 3Proxy and Terminal, plus a laptop of course.

How to tether the iPhone 3G and browse the web on your laptop

To jailbreak your iPhone use the recently released PwnageTool for Macs. Then when you’re finished with the jailbreak, dig through Cydia to install 3Proxy and Terminal on the iPhone.

There’s a very detailed step-by-step how-to written on Nate True’s blog, so I won’t serve any spoilers and advise you to check that out instead.

Saturday Night speakers bring back disco, afros

Saturday Night speakers bring back disco, afros
Disco Stu doesn’t rock just any speakers. They have to be Disco-licious and authentically groovy like these Saturday Night speakers that resemble a south park character. Put on your boogie shoes and your finest polyester and get ready for some funkadelic tunes pumped through two afros.

They won’t connect to your 8-track or Hi-Fi, but they will connect with any MP3 player or computer with a standard 3.5mm mini stereo jack, and they charge via your USB port. Perfect for those who have iPods full of Barry White and the Bee Gees.

Intego releases first iPhone 2.0 antivirus software

Now that the iPhone is officially open to third-party applications, it’s more vulnerable than ever to virus, malware and spyware attacks. Apple does not seem to take the issue very seriously (yet), but a company named Intego does. They say they have released the very first anti-virus application for the iPhone.

A new version of Intego’s existing anti-virus application for Mac OS X, called Virus Barrier X5 10.5.3, is said to be capable of scanning the iPhone’s files for viruses as well. The only downside to this is that Intego’s anti-virus app must run on a user’s Mac, and not his iPhone.

Intego releases first iPhone 2.0 antivirus software

The way it works is that the iPhone’s files are copied over to the Mac and it is there that it gets scanned.

That might seem inefficient to some, but it is still a good way to keep your iPhone safe from unwelcome viruses. And besides, the iPhone hasn’t experienced any prominent virus attacks yet, so until that day all iPhone owners can feel safe.

Suo Xin ZT888 with Apple call buttons

Suo Xin ZT888 with Apple call buttons
The Suo Xin ZT888 is a nice looking mobile phone from China that comes with an extra genuine leather case/battery for some reason. This caught my eye because of the call buttons. I’m pretty sure Apple doesn’t approve and I can only guess that they are trying to fool some morons into thinking that this is the new iPhone they’ve heard so much about.

This luxury phone comes in white and black, both with gold and sports a 2.4 inch display and 2.0-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Dual SIM slots, microSD slot and other basic functions like Calculator, Calendar, Memo, Alarm, World time, stopwatch and games. It will cost you $115.43. Probably the cheapest phone with an Apple logo.

Zero-Gee workstation for sleeping on the blog

Zero-Gee workstation for sleeping on the blog
I’d like you to meet my new chair. It’s not a smart chair. It’s the Zero-Gee Ergonomic workstation and by the looks of it, you’ll do a ton of resting and get very little work done. It’s got almost everything you need built in. Like a computer monitor, keyboard, swing out tray thing for your drinks and snacks. About the only thing missing is an onboard toilet, but I guess you can get up for that chore.

Ahhh, a blogger’s dream come true. I could have a little siesta between every article. Doesn’t it make you sleepy just looking at it? Unfortunately, the reality is that not many people are going to pay an outrageous price when you can just park yourself on the couch with your laptop.
