Fixit and MacMod announce '2008 Mod Of The Year'

First Place:
Mod of The Year
Leopard hacked to run on pre-AGP Macintosh
Excerpt: "My mod challenge was to get Leopard running on the old Beige G3, B&W G3 (with G4 upgrade) and Yikes! G4 computers, but I ended up getting it running on a PowerMac 8500!"

Runner Up:
Black Anodized iPhone Custom
Excerpt: "The iPhone Custom process took over a month of hard work to complete the first device. That first device received so much positive attention that a manufacturing company was commissioned for a small scale, limited edition, production run."

Second Runner Up:
MacMidi - Re-cased Powerbook Ti
Excerpt: "After a few years of hard use everyday, my Ti Powerbook eventually developed a screen fault and collected some new knocks and scratches. It seemed a shame to throw out such a tough old machine because of a screen problem. So I decided to join the case modding fraternity."

Special thanks go out to the sponsors that made the 2007 Challenge possible:
• iFixit
• Booq
• Griffin Technology
• Speck
• Hosting Outfitters

Terra Noctis: Free Dreaming Promises Ple...
When I first played Terra Noctis, I came away with an incredibly positive opinion. Sure it had its share of problems. In fact, it had a ton of small ones. However it was still a cool platformer that was well worth the somewhat hefty (comparably) price of $2.99 at the time. The cost has dropped down to $0.99 since then, but even that might be “too... | Read more »
