Overview
What's Good: Small size, good reception. What's Bad: Battery cover is flimsy, and the Shade doesn't offer 3G connectivity.
Introduction
Despite the seemingly endless talk about smartphones, there's still a market for regular, reliable, entry-level cell phones. Quite frankly, I doubt that grandpa, the texting teenager, or those keeping a device for backup purposes want or need a fully equipped PDA. That being said, the Nokia Shade is a perfect entry-level smartphone for them to consider, despite a lack of 3G connectivity. But is it a device worthy of owning? I'll take a look at it below.
Design & Features
The left spine of the Shade contains a 2.5mm headphone jack, volume rocker, and a microUSB charging port. The right side sports a lanyard hole and a shortcut key to voice dialing. The front of the device the external display, the camera, and the external speaker. Overall, the device is relatively bland in appearance. Like most Nokia devices as of late, packaging is... - read full review
Ethernet bridge in Ubuntu Linux video updated
I fixed the sound and frame size in the video I posted this morning.

As a side thing, check out Webcam Studio For GNU/Linux (WS4GL). I'm hoping as it matures I'll be able to use it as a poorman's tri-caster when I record/stream presentations at hacker cons. The live picture in picture or split screen is an awesome feature. Toss Patrick Balleux some cash to encourage further development.
Link: Setting up an Ethernet bridge in Ubuntu Linux
In a previous video, I showed how to set up an Ethernet bridge in Windows XP. This is very useful for sniffing traffic leaving your LAN for the purposes of IDS (Intrusion Detection System), network monitoring, statistics or just plain snooping. In this video, I cover setting up an Ethernet bridge in Linux. Other tools used in this video include Wireshark, TCPDump, Etherape and Driftnet.

What's Good: Gorgeous 3.7-inch display and Android 2.0. What's Bad: Battery life is quite poor, and physical keyboard needs improvement.
Introduction
Despite being a die-hard BlackBerry user, the Motorola DROID excites me. With a large screen, Android 2.0, and a durable form factor, it seems to be a good option, and a welcome addition to Verizon's somewhat ho-hum device lineup. Combine that with an expensive marketing campaign on Verizon's behalf, and it seems to be the gadget of the year (actually, it was, according to Time Magazine). The question remains, however: does the DROID live up to its name?
Design & Features
The DROID that I tested came directly from Motorola, so accessories may differ from those offered by Verizon. My DROID came with the device, battery, home charger, USB cable, car charger, and 16 GB microSD card (installed in the phone). Coming in at 4.55 inches long by 2.35 inches wide by 0.55 inch thick, the DROID weighs 5.99 ounces, making it... - read full review
Metasploit’s pexec module is one of my favorite modules. It does exactly what I need and it does it really well. One thing I wish that Metasploit had, is a scanner version of the psexec exploit module. So I decided to build my own with Perl.
Okay, assume we have the following networks: 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24 etc [...]
