Xbox 360 disassembled! Motherboard pics?

Xbox 360 disassembled! Motherboard pics?

Thumb-Xbox360Mobo Looks real…xavxbox.com has what they claim are pictues of the Xbox 360 motherboard. Their site says the GPU is under the left fan, and the CPU under the right. To translate roughly from French, they also state , “Soon on the site, a tutorial for disassembling the Xbox 360…” An unknown source had sent in the pic, but given xavxbox is a hacking site, hopefully someone like Team Xecuter is hard at work… [via] Link.

Priceline + Google maps mashup

Priceline + Google maps mashup

Seatttlepl There are tons of Google maps mashups, but this one is getting us close to the dream of driving around and our cars displaying the cheapest prices on gas, hotels, etc… This is a Google map mashup of a few cities that combines the data from Priceline. It’ll be interesting to see ratings and other data added over time. It’s too bad AAA never got the Web 2.0 religion… Link.

PSP updates coming july 27th (don’t update, yet)

PSP updates coming july 27th (don’t update, yet)

White A-720545 It looks like Sony is releasing a new firmware update to the PSP July 27th that will have a lot really great features- a web browser, h.264 support (for TV watching), wallpaper, image receiving, video navigation updates, mp4 support and a lot more. I wouldn’t be surprised if you couldn’t sync with iTunes soon as odd as that sounds. Any way, this will most certainly break the ability to play homebrew code, so you might want to hold off of get another one. Link.

Make a cheap snow camping sled

Make a cheap snow camping sled

Snowsled12 Most commercial snow camping sleds (called a pulk or pulka in Europe) and expedition sleds, are quite expensive. They can be in the several hundred dollar range, and while worth it for major a expedition, for the casual winter camper who may only do a couple of trips a winter, such an expenditure seems a little pricey. Here’s how to make one. Thanks Dan! Link.
