Yawesome. When I first got my 3GS I tried to strap it to my RC car, but I have a mini RC car so the 3GS was heavier than the car. Maybe I can strap it to my cat.

Holy crap I can’t believe I didn’t know about this. There are several ways to enable tethering, but this is by far the easiest. An awesome dude showed me this last night. Visit http://Help.benm.at/help.php to effortlessly enable iPhone tethering. It works with the USB cable and Bluetooth. I get the same data speeds I get with the iPhone, 1mbps down/384kbps up. Don’t worry, AT&T has indicated they will not punish those who unofficially enable tethering.. Just stay under your 5GB monthly limit. I wouldn’t be surprised if this hack is disabled once AT&T rolls out it’s official tethering app, rumored to cost $55 a month and could arrive as early as the end of July.

Scroll down to tethering and click download.

After choosing your country and carrier you can install.

After rebooting you have tethering options in your settings app (General, Network, Tethering).

Using 3G and Bluetooth will drain your battery about 4 hours. Blogged from my iPhone.

When I tell people about the iPhones digital compass, most people say ‘meh’.  Then I try to explain how this opens up the fascinating world of augmented reality, which is very hard to impart with words.  Check out these awesome vidoes.

Nearest Tubes locates subways in the UK.  I want this for the DC Metro.

Pocket Universe shows you a star map.

Idunno about this one, you can see where person’s a located and then call them? Why not just call them? If it’s a person’s realtime location then that’s cool, but it’s probably just their home address.

Imagine the implications of such ubiquitous AR!!!!!!! Eventually you will perceive the world exclusively through augmented reality optics, the naked eye is for losers.

My dude who always has the best links just sent me this site, dontevenreply.com. I have never laughed so much, I had tears pouring down my face. It looks like it is a new site, the first post was early June. Basically the guy emails people on Craigslist with ridiculously hilarious requests and gets a lot of wtf responses. Here is one of my favorites:

if anyone wants a ride from baltimore to nyc tomorow let me know! i am driving up there sometime tomorow afternoon and would be glad to help someone out if they want to throw up some money for gas. i drive a hybrid, so i wont need much!

Hello,

I do need a ride to New York tomorrow. That would be great. My only concern is the fact that you drive a hybrid car. I don’t want to give people the idea that I care about the environment. Do you have another, more manly car that we could ride up in? I really don’t want to be seen in a hybrid. I’ll gladly compensate you for gas.

no all i have is my hybrid. what is the big deal, who cares what people think? u should be glad to help the enviroment!

From Mike Partlow to christine **********

I’m sorry Christine but it isn’t the 60’s anymore. People aren’t a bunch of earth-saving hippies that run around and hug trees anymore. Does your car have tinted windows? I really don’t want to be seen riding in that bitch-mobile. My only request is that you stop by a lake somewhere so I can dump a can of motor oil in it, to make up for all of the earth that your car will be saving. Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the motor oil.

wtf is wrong with u! im not giving u a ride ur a jerk!!!

From Mike Partlow to christine **********

Well I am sorry you won’t have the privilege of riding with me. Fortunately for me, I found a better, more badass ride to NYC. I’ll be sure to wave at your crappy little hybrid as we pass you in our F-350, spraying cans of aerosol out the window and throwing empty six-pack holders into the sea.
