“The standard Treo 650 doesn’t support Dial-Up Networking over Bluetooth, but Shadowmite figured out that they just hid the option, so he hacked up an un-crippled version. Trevor Harmon shows you how to get DUN over Bluetooth working and now my new PowerBook can get on the net from anywhere!“ For PC owners, see our DUN How-to. [via] Link.
I really like efforts like this- here’s how to get comics on your iPod. William Simons of Clickwheel says: “We’ve just created the world’s first and only desktop application for downloading digital comics to the iPod photo. It’s currently available as a demo version, which you’re free to download from www.clickwheel.net.” [via] Link.
MAKE pal Brendan Dawes is at it again…Following on from my Atari Flash Drive I decided to take the Dremel to another piece of Atari kit – this time the iconic joystick. This is an Atari 4 port USB hub, complete with status indicator LED. It uses a cheap 4 port hub made for laptops which I bought from good old Maplins Link.

A Pac Man guitar, built on a bet– “Not only can I build it, I can make the headstock blink as well!” A variable-speed knob is located on the eyeball so you can synchronize the blinker to the beat. There is also an emergency push-button kill switch (another request of the client). I hope he makes some blue ghost bass guitars too. [via] Link.
