| | if some of you have not heard already, there is a linux for the ipod now. it allows you to a lot more with your ipod. you can play vidoes on any ipod. like the nano. you can even run the first person shooter called iDoom on it. linux does it again, putting commercial technology to shame. whats nice you can swich to the normal apple firmware anytime you want. if you got an ipod try this, its really easy to install. it will actually make your ipod worth for what you paid for it.
just go to www.ipodlinux.org
hope this interests some people |

I have a feeling that Mac is going to throw a fit over this. They haven't hesitated to start lawsuits with product modders in the past, so I have a feeling that they will be quick to start a fight over the possibility of one using a cheap iPod for video and thus not having to buy the expensive iPod Video. It's not hard to see how it could potentially be considered illegal, or at least be considered bending the law a bit.

Yeah, Mac is the type of company that isn't going to mind taking these people to court. Just like they shut down that site that was trying to put Tiger on a Dell laptop. However, I think I saw something about this on Attack of the Show about a month or 2 ago. My only question is... how the heck are you supposed to control the guy in Doom using the iPod buttons. Seems like it'd be a little to complicated to play and actually enjoy it.

Why all good things in life are illegal? It would be great if Mac comes with better iPods with more such features.

You don't have to worry, Sunny. I'm pretty sure that Mac will come out with some kind of iPod Gamer within a year or so. They may even try to enter the portable gaming war (against the PSP and the Nintendo DS).

thats one thing to pay if your product is really that popular in the market and yes I agree Apple most possibly will handle this one soon. So maybe i about a month we will see that they will be sued.

why would mac throw a fit? once you have bought the ipod, its yours to do whatever the hell you want to do to it. however if you mod it and try to send it in for repairs because of an error in the system, they either wont do it, or they will charge you because it voids the warentee.

I believe this is only for older generation iPods, the first through third generation. The newer ipods, such as the iPod nano and the NEW iPod nano cannot take iPod linux and so far there is no development at all for it. This is because the firmware, the thing you change to install linux, is encrypted on the nano. The first one to have an encrypted firmware. I believe that apple won't have a fit, they'll just continue to encrypt all new ipods, in theory they could also rewrite the firmware for the old ipods and distribute it as an 'update' thus encrypting all older generation ipods and effectively killing ipodlinux. I have seen this product used and it is good, it has many more features than just being able to play video and doom. Also, I heard that it's not ACTUALLY doom, it's just another game skinned to hell to make it look like doom, for most peoples needs it will surfice. It's easy to install if you've done stuff like this before, it's all graphical user interface based stuff and it works fine. Also, if you DO screw yourself over there are several methods of restoring your ipod to it's original state. So by all means if you have an older ipod check it out, but if you have a newer one (like myself) then it's not for you. atleast not yet but like I said, from what I've heard there are no development into deryption nano firmware. Nor will there be soon,

that sounds really cool, I think I looked into that and it doesnt work for the new generation iPod nanos which is what I have. It sucks cause it would be really cool to play doom on my iPod.

Java Game
(2) Hi, I'm interested in game creation on websites. The game should be playable via web browser.
I'm not new in programing, I know C++, C# and OpenGL api. But I'm new on Java. So I have

would be playable via web browser? Simple 2d game means: timers, images, animated sprites, in game

java graphics features I want? Thank You for Your time and answers.....

Halo's Heritage
(The game designers were Sci-Fi fans) (2) I recently noticed that there is a thread about the Halo books. Perhaps you find these books
interesting to read-- that they add a fun element to the game. But if you really like the game, then
I submit to you that there are better books to read. You see, the game designers of Halo were
sci-fi fans. The original Halo (and its offspring) was quite obviously based off of two sci-fi
classics. These books are Ringworld , by Larry Niven, and Starship Troopers , by Robert A.
Heinlein. Ringworld won the 1970 Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards. Larry Niven imagined a ring-shap....

Ea Announced Their Worst Idea Ever
Install a game 3 times and then you have to buy another copy (9) I can't believe how stupid EA can be. So if you buy a game and install it over 3 times, it locks
up and you have to buy another copy. This is STUPID. I've read in a forum a post by someone who
formats his hard drive every 3 months. He's never going to buy any EA game with that kind of
protection. I think it's pretty dumb too. Imagine buying the game, installing it and having it
corrupted after a month or so. You get to fix it, re-install the game then it breaks down
completely. Then you buy a new HD and you install it. What happens if you for some reaso....

Cute Knight Review
Girly-styled game that's really for all RPG fans (3) When most Western people think of consol RPGs, they generally think quests, fighting monsters, and

statement includes " girl games with unicorns instead of prom dresses ". Despite the distinctly
feminine feel of most of their games, however, their depth and innovation can appeal to everyone.
Cute Knight is their most recent, and best, installment. Where to find: A trial version of Cu....

Spark, I have found a place where, if you throw a grenade into a small crevice between the ground,
and a big metal slab, the grenade will bounce around indefinitely, never exploding. Also, on AotC,
before bringing the tank down the entrance to the tunnels, where the two hunters are, if you aim up

My Ipod Is Randomly Skipping Songs, Losing Data,

It'd skip six or seven, then do half of one, then skip six or seven more. Later I looked on the
internet for some ideas, so eventually I tried resetting it again, as instructed. This worked for a
little bit, but then it started skipping over songs again. I reset again, and it lost....
