The iPad – Jailbroken In Under 24 Hours – Video Proof
Yup, it's one of those things that you get credit for breaking.

For All Geeks | Space Invaders Clock Complete with Hack
What is it about Space Invaders that we love so much? Even though I also used the money I made from babysitting to play Pac Man and Galaga back in the 80s, they were never as special as Space Invaders.

The Ultimate Geek Car
I thought I had seen it all when I read Richard’s article about the car made out of Legos, but then I found this car which is surely to be the ultimate dream car for any geek.
