I must admit that I sometimes find it interesting to check the latest and greatest tech news on engadget. Most of the time it's just reports on Apple, Google, and whatever else the internet's nerdiest nerds want to read about. From time to time they run a segment called "Ask Engadget" where they feature a user's question on there and then invite other readers to answer the question, citing any sort of experience each one might have (or usually not have, as the know-it-alls of the internet often are).
Well this week they just happened to feature my own question. Trust me, I am not the kind to constantly write in to places like this, enter competitions, or even religiously post on sites like this (or any sites for that matter). I try to keep a relatively low internet profile, hence my scarcity of blog posts and seldom advertising my blog to anyone. In fact, to most people I'd be ashamed to admit I had a blog. Nevertheless I had a good question and figured I'd throw it out there for Engadget to eat up. And that they did. Yesterday they featured it on their site, slightly modified but still featured nonetheless. Here it is in all it's glory. I've included a little background after the link and here's a disclaimer: if you're not a nerd, don't read it cause you won't care.
Before I sent in the email, I already had a pretty good idea to the answer that I preferred. I don't exactly need someone to tell me what to do with electronics but I knew it'd be something that would incite conversation and, having seen previous questions that they've put on there, figured there'd be a good chance they'd put it on.
Anyway, I asked the question because I've done some "hacking" in my day. In other words I just followed some tutorials very precisely, purely because I wanted to play NBA Jam on as many different devices as possible. Long story short, here are a couple things I have modded or hacked:
PSP - the first thing I modded/hacked
An original Xbox - didn't own one at first but from messing around with my PSP I heard a few things and decided to dive in
Motorola Atrix - I had it for a while, it started to mess up, then I decided "What the heck?"
And I'll probably soon be working on my galaxy s3 and maybe ps3. Everything is just better when you've added your own flare to it.
