Turn your twitter timeline into 4 rolls of toilet paper with Sh*tter!
Credit to @Amon_RA from Twitter for finding this interesting new startup company.
Four developers, spread across Sydney (Australia, that is) and New York (USA) started a company called “Collector’s Edition”, a new-breed entertainment group that seems to craft nifty websites and services. This time, for a mere $35, they will turn your timeline (or maybe someone else’s timeline…) into 4 rolls of toilet paper, ready for your bidding. Can’t get much better than that, can it?
Super Smash Land, a GameBoy remake of Super Smash Bros, hits PCs today
It may be chunky pixels but hey, you can’t blame a PC port of the beloved Super Smash Bros series that graced the Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo Wii consoles.
Dan Fornace’s Super Smash Land is what you’d expect to see on the original GameBoy or even a GameBoy Pocket. It features 11 stages, 6 characters, Arcade mode, 4-person multiplayer and even online leaderboards.
Piki Geek has the scoop, so get cracking and polish up your Super Smash Bros fighting skills.
Coburn’s Domain preorders a ‘Pi. Lead time is absurd along with Factory LAN Port mess-up…
Well, we just pre-ordered a Raspberry Pi through the Australian branch of element14, one of the resellers that are selling the Raspberry Pi (that $25/$35 PC that we’ve covered in our past articles). What could possibly go wrong?
You’ll cringe at the lead time – which is the timeframe they expect to have the units ready to ship from the warehouse. That timeframe is 143 days, apparently. Groan.
Raspberry Pi is on sale, Raspberry Pi Foundation’s website melts under the traffic
Well, at the launch of another mini computer that we’ve been hyped up about, the Raspberry Pi, it’s not common for the web servers to melt under the load that guests put on the server as they flock to read the annoucement.
That being so, the Rapsberry Pi website server was overloaded and as a fail-safe measure, the foundation has replaced the site with a temporary static page explaining the show.
Gearin’ up for the Raspberry Pi: We have the release date!
Wednesday. 29 Feburary 2012. 6:00AM GMT.
A new chapter in the life cycle of the Raspberry Pi begins at 6:00AM GMT tomorrow. Since Coburn’s Domain is based in Australia, this roughly translates to 4:00PM our time. A exciting annoucement is brewing for the R-Pi Foundation, what could it possibly be? You’ll have to find out via jumping on the Raspberry Pi website when the show begins.
China: Wait, what? Apple iPhone branded gas stoves?
China is always known to ripoff products which often infringe on the intellectual property of other companies. This time though, they’ve slapped a Apple logo onto the front of a gas stove – yes, a gas stove – to make the product more appealing to Apple fans.
In the city of Wuhan, police have seized 681 Apple iPhone-branded gas stoves. What’s even better is that the stoves have “Apple China Limited” stamped as the manufacturer of the stove, just to make it look like Apple has entered the stove market.
Raspberry Pi Update: Almost there, root filesystem up for download
The Raspberry Pi is almost ready for public release, and we’re predicting that it’ll sell like hot cakes. And yes, Coburn’s Domain is hopefully going to be one of the first to get a hands-on with the public-release version of the Raspberry Pi.
The ‘Pi blog has just announced download links for the Debian “reference” file system, which allows people to tinker with the Raspberry Pi and it’s multimedia abilities.
Coburn’s Domain gives a CloudFlare test run, supercharges the ‘domain
At first, I thought CloudFlare was some gimmick. I had to check it out to see if was actually legit or not. One night, after watching a short 3 and a half minute video explaining how CloudFlare worked, I was intrigued to see how CloudFlare could improve Coburn’s Domain in terms of performance and speed.
Samsung Galaxy Tab gets the Ice Cream Sandwich love by the TE4M…
A brave group of developers from the XDA-Developers forums have ported a version of Android 4.0.3, Ice Cream Sandwich to the original Samsung Galaxy Tab (model P1000). This port provides a quality working ICS ROM that is suitable enough to replace the stock ROM that the Galaxy Tab ships with.
Basic features work flawlessly, but a few of the luxuries like camera are broken (you can use the viewfinder, but picture taking & video recording are no-go). Still, it is excellent to see Ice Cream Sandwich grace a older-generation device with decent hardware even in today’s standards.
