MacBook WiFi hack to be published, sound of snoring overpowers announcement

You may remember good-old David Maynor, the infamous hacker who caused a stir in the Mac community by “exploiting” a “loophole” in a MacBook’s WiFi that allowed an outside user to gain control of the system.
Of course, the hack was then promptly disputed by all sorts of people, said to be a hoax, and generally made fun of.
A little bit later on, Maynor and co. turned up in a nerd-tastic war of words on the internet over an OS X “worm,” trading barbs, assuming fake names, creating counterfeit blogs, and eventually being reduced to death-threats and public “outings” of their online personalities.
Now, according to reports, Maynor is “officially” publishing the details of his original exploit, freed from legal shackles (i.e., NDAs) which he claim prevented him from revealing the truth about his hack.
The hot-blooded work is to be published in the September issue of Uninformed.org (an online hacking journal).
Says Maynor, “Let them tear me apart all they want but at the end of the day the technical merit of the paper will stand on its own.” To which we respond: your 15 minutes are up.

Multiplayer PSOne gameplay emulated over WiFi-linked PSPs

A hacker called “AhMan” has created a software mod that enables two PSPs to play PSOne games over an adhoc WiFi connection, although apparently this software is in early development — really, when isn’t this kind of hack? For now the evidence is a YouTube video showing a pair of PSPs playing synchronized two player PSOne games, so we’ll have to give them to benefit of the doubt that it’s actually legit.
If it is, you should be able to procure the software required within a reasonable amount of time: if you’re willing, of course, to jump through the usual series of firmware related hoops to get there.
