If you are stuck with an old iPhone but wish you had an Android device, there’s a way to combine the two, creating a smartphone with the body of the former and the brains of the latter. A recent hack shows how to run the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 2.2 aka FroYo, on Apple’s iPhone 3G. The mod still has a few bugs and isn’t stable enough for everyday use, but it’s a first step towards creating a hacked Android operating system for the iPhone.

I must be seeing things… is that an official WWE YouTube page , and one that already has last night’s episode of Monday Night Raw online? This is so unlike WWE, embracing technology. They must have hired someone new in recent weeks, someone who told them that, you know, the Internet isn’t merely for “geeks” anymore

WWE finally has a YouTube account (and with full episodes)

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker comes out today in North America, and in 10 days in Europe. (It came out in Japan about two weeks ago.) Famous Japanese video game magazine Famitsu gave it a 40/40, so we can safely assume it’s not bad at all. Also not bad, probably?

HTC’s Evo might be the last phone running custom software on top of Android that you should even consider buying. Because the whole trend of skinning Android has become a horrible, dividing mess. The problem with an Android phone running a phone manufacturer’s home-brew software, like HTC’s Sense or Sony’s TimeScape, is well-known: You’re going to wait a lot longer to get the freshest version of Android

Aside from the usual under-the-hood improvements, Safari 5 ships with a new feature called Safari Reader (seen above). The concept is simple enough: you’re reading text on a Web site but don’t want to be distracted by terrible page layouts and extraordinarily annoying animated advertisements.

The federal government can’t be bothered with space exploration anymore (which is terribly disappointing, by the way), so private industry has to pick up the slack. A company by the name of Bigelow Aerospace plans to put an entire space station in orbit within the next four years.

Kwon Jieun’s concept Bookmate is a book-cover, a stand, a light and a bookmark, all in one. The flexible jacket has a pair of wraparound grips which grab the two halves of the book when it is open, keeping the book either flat on the table in front of you or – if you flip out the kick-stand – propped up on a counter-top or your lap

When we ran our review of the Alienware M11x a few months back , there were a couple of things that really didn’t sit well with us. They had decided on the older Nvidia chipset (which forced you to basically shut everything down to change from discrete to active video) and you were somewhat limited in what CPU options were available. Well, no longer

Adobe has released the final, baked, non-beta version of Lightroom 3, its photo organizing and editing software. Most of you will likely have been using the very stable betas for some months now, but there are a few extra goodies in this final release that will tempt you to upgrade

The Spider Holster people have added a boxful of accessories to their belt-mounted camera-carrier, letting photographers hang their cameras on belts from various other manufacturers and generally make their DSLRs more secure. The Spider Holster, you will remember, is not a way to keep an arachnid close at hand for some comedy mom-scaring action

Looks like Sony is pulling out all the stops in its imaging department. Not only are we getting some hot new interchangeable lens compacts , but also a sweet camcorder with the same system — and now we hear what any of us could have guessed: that the next Alpha DSLRs will also do video. Paul Genge of Sony UK has confirmed that an improved processor will allow the next series of Alphas to shoot video, although he didn’t mention resolution, framerate, codec, or anything like that.

You tend to think of archaeologists as academic types, dusting off pottery shards and bones, and a comfy tent in the desert. Generally speaking, you don’t think of them buzzing Mayan ruins and bombarding the jungle with lasers.Yet that’s just what Arlen and Diane Chase are doing in Belize. They’re using LIDAR to scan below the trees, which form an effective screen against satellite imaging, and it’s making mapping the ancient Mayan city of Caracol a snap
