Hardware Hacking Have Fun while Voiding Your Warranty~tqw~ darksiderg

Torrent: Hardware Hacking Have Fun while Voiding Your Warranty~tqw~ darksiderg
Description:



This book you are about to read was written by a true hacker, Joe Grand, and it
speaks mostly to the class of hacks that address the need to adapt and improve
on existing consumer solutions."
- From the Foreword by Andrew "bunnie" Huang, author of Hacking the Xbox: An
Introduction to Reverse Engineering

This book has something for everyone---from the beginner hobbyist with no
electronics or coding experience to the self-proclaimed "gadget geek." Take an
ordinary piece of equipment and turn it into a personal work of art. Build upon
an existing idea to create something better. Have fun while voiding your
warranty!

Some of the hardware hacks in this book include:

* Don't toss your iPod away when the battery dies!
Don't pay Apple the $99 to replace it! Install a new iPod battery yourself
without Apple's "help".
* An Apple a day!
Modify a standard Apple USB Mouse into a glowing UFO Mouse or build a
FireWire terabyte hard drive and custom case.
* Have you played Atari today?
Create an arcade-style Atari 5200 paddle controller for your favorite
retro videogames or transform the Atari 2600 joystick into one that can be used
by left-handed players.
* Modern game systems, too!
Hack your PlayStation 2 to boot code from the memory card or modify your
PlayStation 2 for homebrew game development.
* Videophiles unite!
Design, build, and configure your own Windows- or Linux-based Home Theater
PC.
* Ride the airwaves!
Modify a wireless PCMCIA NIC to include an external antenna connector or
load Linux onto your Access Point.
* Stick it to The Man!
Remove the proprietary barcode encoding from your CueCat and turn it into
a regular barcode reader.
* Hack your Palm!
Upgrade the available RAM on your Palm m505 from 8MB to 16MB.

...Many more hacks and modifications inside!
