tech news 12/6: one-handed, esquire christmas gift edition

December 6th, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

snappy title, eh? figured i’d make the tech news posts a little more ‘fun’. anywho…

in the ‘wow, thats actually pretty cool’ department, ben heckendorn has done a great mod for the new xbox 360 controller that allows players who only have one working appendage to operate all of the buttons. i mean, even if you don’t like xbox, its pretty genius to think of using a fulcrum to tilt with your leg!

from the ‘dont get your ish stolen’ department, some nice tips to staying safe while shopping online! i’d also like to add to check out ybp’s guide on passwords and identity theft as well.

speaking of shopping, why not check out crunchgear’s best of 2006 list. ranging from xbox’s to motion detecting garbage can, its guaranteed to at least give you some ideas. want even more help? check out engadget’s for him and for her guides. last, but not least, check out our guides (here and here).

not really a tech article, but kimberly came across this esquire article about the ascendancy of the modern american nigger that ALL ybp’s should read. it definitely articulates the ‘rock and hard place’ a lot of us face and WILL face day in and day out throughout our grind.
