A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

Is that a flat screen or the windshield? If the diver hits something, that guy is going to have a face full of Xbox Live.
Nice hack!

"The total cost of wire-free 360 action is about $4000 if starting from scratch, but isn't that a small price to pay for the freedom to frag?"
...No?
connection sharing through the laptop? these kids need DD-WRT (or similar)!
...that is, if the city-wide wi-fi has the same SSID anywhere you go.
I would be more apt to use the Google Wi-Fi to connect to streaming internet radio.
Major Nelson played with them.

Does anyone else see the irony in using Google to get an MS service?
Yeah, I thought when I saw the first picture that the screen hinged down from the ceiling. Now that I see it's zip-tied to the back of the front passenger seat, the only word that comes to mind is "yikes".
Isn't there a problem with moving while using wifi?
that will be awesome for a few hours, before the rig gets stolen.
:/
Lets hope you don't get a red ring of death when driving.. LOL...
That screen is hilarious.
You guys would have gergillions of engadgeteer posts here if you would get to some super special sign-in thing. that is like, each person has thier own ID
(like a name, or nickname or something) and like, a password (so peopel wont pretend to be other peoiple and say very bad stuff),see and then they sign-in, then post and stuff.
Maybe you have seen that around the web here and there?
There are places that do this, you know. It is cool.
It is kind of new, but really a good thing really.
See, each person has an ID, like a username name, and a password, and they sign in to make comments.
Like a nickname. Then they sign in and make comments.
Like Dregg.Then other people do the same thing, then you have lots of people.
You could even sell advertising. That is where people pay you to tell other people about stuff, so they will buy it. Wait..that is what you do anyway! See hoew well this could work out?
And then once the user has a name and a passweord, they sign-in and make comments about the stuff here, that we are talking about here. Without having to go to the Email. They can do this. I have seen it. then you could have votes.Too.
Like, who thinks this suxxazzz?
Or:
Who thinks this is dope, Yo?
Like that.
Then I would not habve to go to dregg to talk about your articles there, cuz i could just talk about it here.
Without going. There.Like nopw. Except easier. cuz I would have a user name, and maybe a password. To enter comments.
Here.
Google uses your info for targeted advertising, not tracking you down. Also, obviously Google's access point is not secured, and so you will not have any issues with WEP. If you know nothing about the story, don't comment.
What about Scraching the Discs?
I had an original Xbox in my car some time ago. I was considering setting it up with the 360 and my Cingular HSDPA connection through a laptop and 8525 but was unsure about the 360's tendancy to scratch discs while being moved. My 360 is a bit newer tho and I havent tested it.
I read your post. The Google wifi is still unencrypted, and you're still wrong, and you're still immature for using those words about me.
well thats just stupid. $4000 down the drain!
