I know it looks weird but this phone could be very practical! The device in the picture is a do-it-yourself glove phone. What you need for it is a Samsung A3000 and a leather glove. After you assemble them together you get to dial by tapping buttons on the fingers and talk by holding the pinky to your mouth and the thumb to your ear. And you can send SMS messages too.

Besides looking weird it also looks pretty ugly. If you have an eye for design you might be able to come up with a better version of it. And in case you do create your own, make sure to send a picture of it our way too!

How would you like to browse the internet on your Kindle 2 through a USB network? Well it seems there’s a way of doing that. Simply use some of the debugging commands available and follow the link below for a complete unofficial tutorial. Remember that it’s not an official tutorial and you will be doing all the modifications on your own risk. Those faint of hear should not try this at home. Especially since Amazon might not like all this playing around with its hardware and firmware.

OCZ presented their line of DIY Gaming Notebooks a few months ago, in May, but the time has come to do some upgrades. One of items that got improved was the graphics card, which is now an ATI Radeo HD 3650 that has 512MB of RAM.

On the processor department, it supports the usual Intel Centrino 2 platform with a PM45 chipset, or if you want something better just go for the Core 2 Duo or Extreme processors with the ICH9 chipset.

The RAM memory can go pretty high at 8GB of DDR2, while the hard-drive can either be a 2.5-inch SATA or a SSD. Another option is the inclusion of a Blu-ray Drive depending on your needs, because it already comes with a DVD burner.
