Create your own playlist hosting service with Opentape Filed under: misc hacksWhile Muxtape takes a breather to resolve an issue with the RIAA, Lifehacker has a step by step guide on installing and running Opentape, an open source PHP web application that's similar to Muxtape. Take matters into your own hands and create your own version of playlist hosting heaven. Since Opentape is open source, you can adapt it and make it an even better application. Maybe your creation will be even more popular than Muxtape... and will lead to the same problems with the RIAA.Read | ... this | Linki... Hackaday.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Filed under: misc hacks, security hacks[randy] from F.A.T. tested the theory that infrared LEDs can actually hide you from the prying eyes of surveillance cameras. We've previously covered camouflage, IR, and other suggestions for eluding the cameras, but haven't taken to sewing stuff onto our clothes yet. [randy] lined his hoodie with high-intensity infrared LEDs, hoping to create a halo effect that would hide his head, and tested his results. Unfortunately, his efforts were unsuccessful. He tested many many different combinations and we're confident in his conclusion that it would be very hard to make this work.Read | ... this | Linki... Hackaday.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Filed under: daily, digital audio hacksReader [Kelly Regan] flies large scale RC planes, but would often need someone call out flight sequences while rehearsing. Not wanting to impose on fellow club members, [Kelly] built a sequencer caller from a cheap MP3 player. It just required extending the FWD key to a pin header. Those pins are connected to a custom switch on the back of the controller. Each maneuver is recorded with 30 seconds of padding and then added to a playlist. Once the maneuver is complete, a quick press of the button moves on to the next track.

Hackaday.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Ubiquity, a browser command line Filed under: downloads hacks During the last day the web has been abuzz about Mozilla Labs' Ubiquity. It's an addon for Firefox that can help you streamline how you get things done on the web. In the example above, they show constructing an email with a map and reviews using mostly keyboard driven input. The addon is quick to install and we think you'll find it saving you a lot of time on tasks you'd normally hit the search box for. In the popup, you can do quick Wikipedia lookups, define words, translate, perform calculations, and many other operations. You can email a page to someone by just typing three words. The best part is: anyone can write a command that will expand Ubiquity's function. Greasemonkey helped fix broken websites and we think Ubiquity will help make interactions between sites much easier. We can't wait to see what clever uses people come up with.Read | ... this | Linki...

Immediately after the teacher's installed a new electronic note taking and test giving software, the students began hacking. They managed to find several ways to ace their tests, none of which involved studying hard the night before. Ultimately, the teachers went back to the old system to prevent such shenanigans.[photo: COCOEN]Read |&nbs... this | Linki... Hackaday.com Wednesday, August 27, 2008
