How to get a cheaper iPhone contract with O2
Written by Shadow1980   
Wednesday, 27 January 2010

If you took a contract with O2 when the iPhone 3G first came out, it is very likely that you are coming to the end of your contract right about now. I was in the same position and was getting increasingly annoyed at what I was getting out of my £35 a month. Instead of going with what o2 would like us all to believe, I decided to look around for the possibily to pay less while maintaining the features I regularly use.

The biggest problem in finding a cheaper tariff was keeping the unlimited internet use within the UK. I don't want to pay seperately for this as I use it more than I phone with the iPhone 3G. After much searching, I managed to find that O2's Online Simplicity 20 tariff currently comes with a bolt on bonus for free. By default this is set to unlimited O2 to O2 calls but by pressing an obscure 'change' link you can actually add this to unlimited web - perfect for iPhone users.

What you end up with:

  • 700 Minutes
  • 1400 Texts
  • Unlimited Web (UK)
  • 30 Days Notice (No long-term contract!) 
  • All for £20 / Month - £15 less than the contract most iPhone users pay!

And his invention is attracting lots of interest since videos of it in action were posted on www.metacafe.com.

Horntones: Customize Your Honk
Written by Ryan Freebern

These days, if you can’t download a custom sound onto a device, nobody wants it. That’s why the Horntones FX-550 device is going to be so successful: instead of a lame single-note honk when you get mad at that guy who cut you off, why not play a few bars of Grammy-winning hip-hop artist Chamillionaire’s hit single “Ridin’”, or for that old-school classic feel, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’s “You Saw My Blinker.” If that’s not a great way to distract other drivers and make the roads a little less safe, I don’t know what is.

USB Hamster Wheel
What can I say - it is a toy hamster in a wheel which connects to your USB port. Based on how fast you type, the wheel will spin faster or slower. So if you are a typer like me, the sucker will run for it's life. Amusing - I wonder how somebody came up with this idea. Or wait, I don't want to know....

gold ingot usb hub

At a mere ¥5,980 ($52/£27/€40), it wouldn't be too hard to snap up a stack of these Japanese gold ingot-styled eight-port USB hubs to re-create that robbing the Bank of England and/or Fort Knox experience in your own living room. The manufacturer's smartly weighed each block down with enough metal to yield a gold-like weight of 2.4kg. Alas, the supplier's also keen to point out there's no "genuine gold" within the product.

The 19.6 x 7.3 x 4.9cm mock ingot is due to ship early next month. Full details from supplier Thanko, here.
