Hasta La Gadget!

Even at its default 1GHz speed, Samsung’s Hummingbird is one of the finest mobile processor around, but are you really going to complain about getting the option to crank an extra 200 milion clock cycles out of it? Morfic over on the xda-developers forums has delivered a kernel permitting Nexus S owners to achieve just that, although he still has to fix an issue that disables the phone’s Bluetooth capabilities.Still, if you value ludicrous speed over wireless peripherals, the source link is your friend.

Nexus S overclocked to 1.2GHz, runs too damn fast for its Bluetooth to work originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 03 Jan 2011 06:49:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

The Wall Street Journal has rounded up its cabal of sources today to present another delicious new battlefield in the struggle between Google and Apple for mobile supremacy. Specifically, it reports that the Mountain View team has approached Time Warner, Condé Nast and Hearst — three of the biggest publishers of periodicals in the US — with a view to offering their content through a Google-operated “digital newsstand” for Android devices. The appeal for media companies will be an easier route to monetizing their content, apparently, including the possibility that Google could take a smaller slice of revenues than the 30 percent charged by Apple and Amazon. There’s also word of developments behind the scenes at Cupertino, where “several changes in iTunes” are expected to improve the publisher’s experience of using the service, including making it easier to offer long-term subscriptions and related discounts. Apple’s had nothing to say on the matter, while Google’s responded by noting it’s always in discussions with publishers and has nothing to announce at this point.

Google built the Cr-48 with hacking in mind, so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing other operating systems crop up. Still, it’s fun to watch, and enterprising hackers have got most of the usual suspects up and running: first Ubuntu, and now Mac OS X and Windows. It sounds like a lot of work, and we pledged that 2011 was going to be the year we sat on our asses and didn’t do anything hard, but you’re welcome to give it a shot! Just hit up those source links below for instructions, and follow after the break for video of OS X in action.

[Thanks Damian W.]

The image above was the result of the Google Blog being hacked just a short time ago. A friend of the hacker made a post on Digg which quickly made it to a Front Page article. I guess the hacker broke into the blog by guessing the password (they say the password was related to Microsoft). The Google Blog is currently replaced with a cached version of the blog, which is why there are no images. Also, the friend of the hacker put up the AIM conversation they had:

Happy GMMXIE. That’s 2011 to you–the year of the Google. The search giant is celebrating the new year the way it celebrates pretty much everything else–with a fancy new doodle.

Those clever kids in Mountain View have come up with a pretty good one, this time, stuffing MMI–the Roman numeral for 2011–into the logo (that’s “GMMXiE,” for the record, not “GMMXLE”).

So, happy new year from the folks at Google–may your 2011 be filled with slightly less confusing typefaces.
