Ringtone creationism not for sale in iTunes 10, but DIY method still seems to work
Not that we’ve ever been a fan of paying an additional 99 cents to turn an already-purchased track into a seconds-long ringtone, but if you fancied the option in iTunes 9.2.1, we’re sad to inform you that yesterday’s update seems to have nixed said option. But hey, look at this way, now you can learn a new skill: how to make iTunes 10 ringtones free of charge with some filename finagling. The old method still seems to work just fine (instructions via More Coverage link below), so turn that .m4-frown upside down!

DIY iPhone 4 Steadicam
Here’s a little instructional vid I did to show you how to make a steadicam for your iPhone (it also works great for small camcorders). Be sure to check out the demo vid over at www.aetherdrinker.blogspot.com. Edit: Not trying to take credit for inventing any part of this, lots of people have great posts on YouTube and elsewhere on how to make every part of this, and I highly recommend them. I can’t credit them all, so use the search bar or Google. This is just my take on how to do it for an iPhone or small camcorder. It’s just for fun. If anyone wants more details and instructions just let me know. Edit 2: Thanks for all the comments, I’m using your advice to tweak this thing and post one more video (and then I’m done with this thing, it’s on to more useful tools). Right now this is more a stabilizer than a steadicam. A real steadicam needs to be completely balanced, which this rig is not. So stay tuned. Also as some have pointed out BE CAREFUL HEATING PVC PIPE! IF IT BURNS IT IS HIGHLY TOXIC (puts off Dioxin)! Don’t let it catch fire, and perform in a well ventilated area, preferably with a mask. And the camera I used to film this How To was a Canon 5D Mark II with a 50mm 1.2L lens. No lighting, or post effects were used. Lastly if you want to purchase the phone holder I used, you can find it here, along with all the gear I used to film this How To: aetherdrinker.blogspot.com Thanks!

Transformable Wall-E gets recreated with some love, Lego and DIY skills (video)
Sure, you’ll have seen Lego-based Wall-E imitators before, but few recreate both the cuteness and the basic functionality of the drone quite like this one here. Programmed using Lego Mindstorms, this adorable little creation can transform itself into a box (like the real Wall-E!), pick up and carry objects, look up and down, and even produce and respond to sounds. It can be controlled remotely or left to do things by itself. Follow the break to see it on video.

Android App Inventor lets you be the developer (video)
Google is following in Nokia’s footsteps today by offering its users a simple-to-use DIY app maker. Employing a design scheme that relies on visual blocks rather than oodles of arcane code, the App Inventor — still in Beta, of course — has functions for “just about anything” you can do with an Android handset, including access to GPS and phone functionality. All that’s really missing is the raw creative talent, which we’re sure you’ll be happy to provide. Hit the source link to get involved or skip past the break for an educational video.

White iPhone 4: early DIY edition, with a touch of black
Sorry, we couldn’t wait — having spent 11 hours on the streets waiting for the iPhone 4, it’s only natural to give our precious new toy some extra special care. With the help of iFixit’s teardown guide, we decided to take the plunge with our steaming hot Chinese delivery — a white front cover (with a shiny proximity sensor area above the earpiece), a white back cover (with “XXXXX” marked as the model number, ergo a prototype), and a Retina Display unit. Alas, there weren’t any white buttons in stock at the time, but let’s pretend this black-and-white combo is the new cool. Read on to find out how the surgery went.

Nexus One W/ Froyo, Iphone 4 What?!
DO NOT FORGET TO HIT THE “LIKE” BOTTON AND THE ╔═╦╗╔╦╗╔═╦═╦╦╦╦╗╔═╗ ║╚╣║║║╚╣╚╣╔╣╔╣║╚╣═╣ ╠╗║╚╝║║╠╗║╚╣║║║║║═╣ ╚═╩══╩═╩═╩═╩╝╚╩═╩═╝ Button!!! Basically a quick update to show a few features and a few methods of doing things the right way, More videos coming soon, as I find out good stuff to make our phones the ultimate phone, pc, radio, laptop, tv, you name it, we are almost there. At the last part of the vid, I cannot stress enough how good flash works, and how these idiots keep trying to make themselves believe it’s flawed or sloppy or kills battery or laggy, IT’S NOTHING BUT AN ASSET ADDITION TO OUR PHONES. I can’t see myself without it after this phone. Iphone 4 news: the glass it’s made of, will break in about 2-3 drops, multi task is limited, the 2 cameras for live video calls is limited to WI-FI only. They copied our 2 microphones for noise cancellation, still stuck with AT&T for another 2 years, AT&T limited data for customers no longer having unlimited data. The display has good resolution although the screen is too small to take full advantage, not sure what is actually new or good about the phone lol.

iPad wall mounts take a turn for the crazier (video)
Wall mounts have been around since forever and a day, but let’s be honest, they’ve never had something quite like an iPad to cling on to. And now a couple of enthusiastic tablet users have gone and concocted their own homemade articulating display stands, showing how easily it can be done. Al forwards the gallery of pics below, telling us he only had to buy a standard VESA TV mount and an iPad case (costing around $40 in total), screw the two together, and boom, his son had an iPad “bed mount.” Alternatively, if you’re after a more sophisticated solution, you’ll want to see dim3m’s video after the break, showing how he put together the above speaker-enriched platform. Go ahead, there’s a banging soundtrack too.
[Thanks, Al and dim3m]

Nimbus 64: the latest in a long line of gorgeous portable N64 mods
For whatever reason, the last great game console to utilize a cartridge over a disc is finding itself in yet another portable form factor, and of course, the Nimbus 64 has been crafted by one of Ben Heck’s most loyal followers. One cndowning is responsible for this beaut, and it’s actually his second homemade portable; this particular miniaturized Nintendo 64 uses a custom vacuum formed case, D-pads and control sticks from used Game Cube controllers, a Zenith PS1 display and plenty of nuts and bolts that only the hardcore modders in attendance would understand. Per usual, we’d recommend heading down to the links below for more details and images, the latter of which are likely to make you exceedingly envious of the DIY skills exhibited here.
