If you are a Blackberry user who just so happens to have a Mac, you can understand how frustratingly impossible the task of tethering your device to your machine is. Matter of fact you are losing money not doing it on Sprint, who offers free DUN (dial up networking) access on all Blackberry accounts.

iMobimac understands Blackberry users frustrations and has created software that enables DUN support for Macs. Still 15 days away from launching details are still a bit sketchy on the *method* of DUN. Will it provide the coveted true USB tethering, or rely on the Bluetooth protocol for DUN? None the less it is DUN and in 15 days we’ll know the answer.

If you want to know the second this product launches, iMobimac has a mailing list set up on their site that will fire off a note when this mythical application launches.

On a related note, if you want DUN support for Windows Mobile devices we recommend PDANet for Windows computers. We also recommend USB Modem for the PalmOS and Macs.

After a less then stellar E3 presentation (without a tattoo mind you) it seems that Peter Moore has jumped ship.

Moore will be replaced by Don Mattrick, a former president of EA and current external adviser for Microsoft, who will now lead the Interactive Entertainment Business for Microsoft. While the official release says that Moore “has decided to move his family back to the Bay Area for personal reasons and has secured another opportunity in the video games industry”, we’ve heard that calls have already started going out within the industry confirming that the other “opportunity” is EA where he will head up EA Sports.

I have a feeling some Seattle Billionare is quite hot under the collar as I’m writing this.

Are you scatterbrained like me and constantly lose things? The Sound Activated Keyfinder (which consequently was my third grade science fair project) will sound off an alarm when you clap your hands or whistle (it actually works with any loud noise) and won’t stop until you find it. Now, obviously this won’t help if you were in the house and left your keys in the car and I can only think of the fun it would be when you go to a sports event of a movie. Available for £5.95 (Roughly $12 USD).

The war between The RIAA and MPAA and Torrent networks have reached a new level. A new client has been created designed to corrupt and slow torrents down to a stand still.

The goal of ZipTorrent is to slow down popular downloads as much as possible. They use hundreds of these clients at the same time and this can potentially bring the average download speed down to zero. Even more so, it is not unlikely that it will record your IP-address in the process so they can send you a copyright infringement notice on top of it.

I have to hand it a little to the RIAA and MPAA for FINALLY leveling technology against technology, instead of cowardly bullying and suing poor children.

Feeling lost in a crowd with my generic looking iPhone I cautiously decided it was time to void the warranty. I reached out to Phillip Torrone, one of the minds behind ADAFruit, to have my expensive toy phone go under the laser beam and get a little tramp stamp tattoo.

Pictured above is the end result, of what we think is the first engraved iPhone. Isn’t it adorable?

If you are in NYC and feeling adventurous drop Phillip and the gang an line at laser@adafruit.com or via their website. Typical small device etching costs $30, while larger items cost $100. Tell them that Dan sent you.

(Also did you know the back of the iPhone is PLASTIC?! Hard to believe, right?)

UPDATE: Props to Phillip for posting the video.

Just after a round of layoffs it seems that VOIP provider SunRocket couldn’t save the sinking ship.

SunRocket, an Internet telephone company, has ceased operations and is moving its customers to one or more other companies, according to a person briefed on its status. [...] In April, SunRocket announced that it had reached 200,000 subscribers and said the milestone was a testament to consumers’ embrace of Internet telephony, which allows telephone calls to be transmitted as data over the Internet. One of SunRocket’s main pitches to potential customers was its offer of $199 for a year of unlimited calling to the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Calls to the customer service number yielded a warm and friendly greeting that SunRocket is no longer taking customer service or sales calls, and abruptly hangs up.

I don’t there is a pulse there.

Lets face it, browsing the internet at EDGE speeds is not the fastest experience. So, the burden is on the content provider to slim things down a bit and make their website more usable on mobile devices. Thats why we launched UNEASY.mobi about a year ago. The iPhone however throws a wrench into the process. The end user is left with what is quite possibly the most functional web browser to ever grace a mobile phone, but really can’t enjoy it on the cellphones data connection. Here is where iWPhone steps in.

iWPhone is a WordPress Plugin and Theme that automatically reformats your blog’s content for optimized viewing on Apple’s iPhone. Without modifying your main theme, the plugin detects the iPhone’s User Agent and serves up the content with the special theme only to iPhone visitors and all other browsers will view your WordPress blog with your current theme.

All you need to do is download the iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Theme zip file, extract the “iwphone-wordpress-plugin-and-theme” folder on your computer and upload the iwphone.php file to your wp-content/plugins/ directory. You will also need to copy the iwphone-by-contentrobot folder into your wp-content/themes/ directory and activate the plugin called iWPhone.

Its plugin is really a great tool to cut the load times of your blog on iPhones, but it is not without problems. There is no clickable link or button that allows site visitors to switch between iPhone theme and normal site theme and there is no search functionality, but I’m sure those features will be added shortly in a future release.

(FYI, we have been running this plugin for about a day now and nothing NO problem on the client or server end)
