    Enable Four-Finger Gestures on Original MacBook Air with Dangerous Scary Hack

    Macrumors forum member michaelb, in a fit of jealousy over his ladyfriend's new unibody MacBook, decided to try to trick his last-gen MacBook Air into recognizing four-finger gestures. He installed the updated 10.5.5 system from the new MacBook onto his Air, and then through some tricky manipulation of the kernel extension, managed to get the flashy four-finger gestures working. This is like the invention of sliced bread times infinity. More »

    Last Call iPhone App Wants You To Get Drunk Responsibly

    Similar to other drunk-calculating iPhone apps, Last Call determines how smashed you are by your weight and how many drinks you've knocked back. However, unlike all those other apps, it's free, it also calculates your drunkenness by the specific type of alcoholic beverage you've consumed, and it gives you options on what to do next now that you're super drunk. If you've had a few too many drinks to drive, you can press a button on the app that'll call a taxi for you. And if you've disregarded the taxi button, there's another button that'll help you to find a local lawyer for when you get that DUI, tsk tsk. [Wired]

    iPhone FakeCalls App Bails You Out of Awkward Situations

    Magic Tap, a 99-cent iPhone application, lets you send fake calls to yourself on command, just in case you ever need an excuse to get out of an awkward situation such as a horrible blind date, or having "that talk" with your girlfriend. To make this application more realistic, it lets you customize the caller's name, number and photo I.D. to anyone you choose. However, keep this in mind: setting the caller I.D. to "Shakira" with a steamy photo of the diva probably wouldn't be too convincing, so you better stick with using Jason Chen's sexy mug instead. We've even provided one for you after the cut. [PC World] More »

    TiVoRemote App Updated with Slick GUI and Handy Features

    TiVoremote, the iPhone / iPod touch Telnet TiVo Remote app, was finally updated a few weeks ago with an ooey gooey GUI, and some really useful new features. Now at version 0.23, the app can now detect TiVos on your home network, allowing for easy selection of the TiVo you want to control. What's even better is the app now has the ability to download the Now Playing list data from the TiVo, allowing the iPhone to show what's been recorded and display each recordings data info. The app can also use the NPL data to start playing the recordings automatically. So if you've got a Jailbroken iPhone / iPod touch, and a Series 3 TiVo, I would suggest giving the app a try, it's surprisingly useful. [TiVoRemote]

    Sprint Faker Hands-On: Pretend You Have a Life

    Sprint's teamed up with game company Moderati for a mobile Faker application, which essentially lets you use your phone to pretend to have a life. It's gimmicky, sure, but it does have some neat features. Among the ones that you won't use very often are pickup lines, rejections, bar dares, and a fake Breathalyzer. Fun if you're bored waiting for something, but useless otherwise. More »
