WiiSpray turns your Nintendo Wiimote into a virtual spray paint can. Wheeeeeeeeee! This one's just a prototype out of Bauhaus University, but still, very cool.
Tech Buzz Meet the 18-year-old hacker behind the recent string of celebrity Twitter takeovers. He was able to hack into a Twitter staffer's account because that staffer chose an incredibly weak password: “happiness.” Britney's gonna be pissed.
Those fun-loving pranksters over at 4Chan have been busy today. In addition to (allegedly) getting a crude visual reminder of 9/11 to rise to the top of Google Trends, they managed to take over the live feed for the MacRumors live-blog coverage of today's Macworld keynote address. After announcing that Steve Jobs had died, they moved on with lightning speed to an endless string of penis jokes (which may have undermined their credibility somewhat).
Celebrity Buzz Today is officially “Hack Into A Celebrity's Twitter” Day. So far Bill O'Reilly, Rick Sanchez, and Britney Spears have been targeted. It's kind of dumb, and the comments aren't particularly clever, but overall the hacks have kind of a brain-dead “ha” factor that seems fitting on the first Monday after the holidays. I hope they come up with something good for Shaq.
Tech Buzz Griffith — the subject of a profile in this weekend's NY Times magazine — is the disruptive technologist behind WikiScanner who says that one of his missions in life is “to create minor public-relations disasters for companies and organizations I dislike.” “The hacker high life — girls, notoriety, White Russians — can be hard to resist,” writes Virginia Heffernan. “Girls hang on Virgil Griffith. This is no exaggeration. At parties, they cling to the arms of the 25-year-old hacker whose reason for being, he says, is to 'make the Internet a better and more interesting place.' ” She's witnessed the fandom and unusual drink choice first hand, and describes how at a recent tech conference, “Griffith, enjoying a White Russian that I first mistook for chocolate milk, reveled in the attention of his female fans. He smiled broadly. He seemed like a young Henry Kissinger, but sweet, or Arthur Fonzarelli, but not a dropout.” What do girls like more, his hacking skillz or cutey-pie dimples?
Culture Buzz Mixing Ikea’s readymade philosophy with a touch of DIY creates interesting results. These all look way better than that time I tried to make a futon frame out of a shipping pallet.
