Wal-Mart Holds Your Credit Card and ID Hostage When You Complain [Readers]

When reader Steve went to Wal-Mart to buy Rock Star for his daughter, he reluctantly presented the cashier with a state issued ID containing just his picture, name and signature. Steve's job is to consult with law enforcement about identity theft, so he's more careful than the average bear. For one thing, he only likes to show his state issued-ID. The cashier, however, refused to accept it as a valid ID, and tense negotiations ensued. When Steve said he'd call corporate about their ID checking policy, the cashier refused to hand back Steve's credit card or ID until Steve spoke to an in store CSM. That's right, after he complained, the cashier held his credit card hostage. Check out the gory details, inside. Dear Consumerist, I stopped in my local East York Wal-Mart in PA on 3/22/08 around 12.

Lextech App Turns Your iPhone into a Surveillance Device [IPhone]

A company called Lextech has created an application that lets you control surveillance devices via your iPhone. As well as watching the action on the phone, the app also lets you control the cameras via its touchscreen. See the system in action in a couple of videos after the jump. I guess this means no more security guards numbing their arses as they sit, bored, behind banks of monitors. [Lextech via Nowhere Else 2.0] [lien] [EN]

Griffin WindowSeat Holds Your iPhone/iPod Touch at Eye Level For Convenient Viewing, Face Hitting [Windowseat]

This Griffin WindowSeat is a suction cup-based iPhone/iPod touch mount for your car, allowing you to keep your phone at eye level for easy map viewing and voicemail checking. What's left unsaid is how sturdy this thing is in case of an accident, and whether it will come careening off your window or dashboard into your face to make a comically iPhone-ish indentation on your cheek. Either way, it's $29.99, which isn't all that expensive for the ability to surf the internet while driving (kidding). [Griffin via PCWorld] [lien] [EN]

8 Squeezes for Your iPhone Battery

-------------------- Dec 5, 2007 8 Squeezes for Your iPhone Battery Posted in Geek at 4:00 pm by David Bradley -- 8 Comments If you’ve just bought an iPhone, you’re probably expecting many happy years of battery power. Well, not so fast. Laptop batteries are very similar to rechargeable batteries in other devices, they wear out. I’ve had my current laptop for about 18 months and in the last few weeks I’ve noticed that I’m not getting quite the battery life from it that I was when I first bought it. I used to be able to run for about 3 hours doing wordprocessing, email, and web browsing even on a wireless connection. Lately, however, the lithium battery seems to run down within an hour or so, which is a real pain when I’m offsite. I checked out Battery University to see if there is anything I can do to get my battery life back to normal. [lien] [EN]

Crap I love: Signal turns your iPhone into a really nice remote control

I’ve been hoping that someone was working on using the iPhone browser as a media controller and when I saw Signal, I decided to give it a try. It works like this: you install the app and it runs an internal webserver that you connect to using safari on the iPhone. Whatever is running in iTunes on your computer shows up on the phone exactly as if it was in the iPod mode (with album art, controls, etc). So if you have an airport express hooked up to a stereo, you point your iTunes at the speakers and start playing some music, then walk away from your computer. Once you pull up Signal in your phone, you can control your entire iTunes library remotely. You can pick playlists, set them to shuffle, change to specific songs, try different genres. [lien] [EN]

Mad Scientist will Pimp Your iPhone

In what was initially estimated to be a $2K - $3K process, Paul Knight used what is likely millions of dollars worth of sophisticated Penn State University science lab equipment to… pimp his iPhone. All due respect of course; the result of his labors is without a doubt the hottest iPhone on the planet. Knight used a $250,000 scanning electron microscope to analyze the iPhone’s elemental composition and did a great deal of research to determine exactly what processes he would use to increase the iPhone’s durability and enhance the wow-factor. The technologies he landed on: TiN and TiAIN; material-coatings that are used to strengthen hard cutting tools, jet engine blades and surgical implants among other things. Knight’s finished product is sleek, sophisticated and extremely durable. [lien] [EN]

I Recommend Not Holding Your Breath, Either.

Amanda's written a good post which astutely notes that the media's fixation on the beliefs of Obama's pastor, especially after its yawning indifference to some of the truly alarming religious beliefs of erstwhile GOP candidate—and ordained minister—Mike Huckabee (as but one example), reveals a race-based double standard. (Matt T. Bastard has been all over it, too). Huckabee's extreme views on mixed-sex marriage, same-sex marriage, gay adoption, church and state, other religions, etc. got a total pass from a media that never bothered to note the guy was an unapologetic Dominionist, so their fainting couch routine over Jeremiah Wright's less-than-mainstream views is nakedly hypocritical. Besides the double-standard in pearl-clutching, to which I have nothing to add, Amanda's post reminded me of something I wanted to mention about the whole Wright scenario. [lien] [EN]

Vista on Your iPhone

If Steve Jobs were dead, he would be turning over in his grave. As it stands, Stevie is alive so he probably just sufferer a massive coronary. Hey iPhone owners - do you find that there is entirely too much time between crashes and freezes on your iPhone? VistaPerfection 2.0 might not help you in that department but it sure will make your handset look like the bug catcher we all know and love. The installation comes with Vista wallpapers, graphics, sound effects and over 90 Vista icons. It even simulates Vista’s sidebar and start menu. We’re not saying that the iPhone is perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but why anyone would do something like this is a bit beyond us. If you’re a Vista addict and begrudgingly picked up an iPhone but always loathed its clean UI. [lien] [EN]

Turn Your iPhone into a Windows Carryall

Combine the iPhone with virtualization software, and you have a marketing dream – a notion not lost on start-up MokaFive. On Monday, MokaFive began offering early access to its iPhone Sentinel software, which lets people grab their entire Windows desktop and dump it on an iPhone. All of your files, settings and software are turned into a single package that can be stored on an iPhone and restarted on a regular computer. Sentinel makes sure that all the virtual desktop files stay synchronized as you move between various machines. The technology is similar to software which makes it possible to store a full operating system and applications on a memory stick and just run the software from that device. In this, the iPhone functions as a memory stick and MokaFive offers up the sophisticated synchronization tools along with other software that speeds up the virtual desktop when it's running on a computer.

Existing AT&T customers can scope out if they're eligible to add a new line for the iPhone. It'd be nice if you could go all the way and cut out the trip to the store entirely, but that's probably not going to happen.
