ViewSonic gTablet hack: Adding GPS

Brad Linder — Wed, 25 May 2011 19:48:52 +0000

In the early days of the netbook era, I was surprised to see just how much hardware hacking was going on. Back in 2007 and 2008 it seemed like every day someone took apart an Asus Eee PC or Acer Aspire One and slapped some extra hardware inside the tiny case. It turns out it wasn't all that tough, because...

Brad Linder — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:41:40 +0000

The Asus Eee PC T91 netbook I reviewed a few weeks ago was a loaner, so I didn't want to go too far out of my way to open up the case and trying rearranging the hardware. But jkkmobile spent his own hard earned money on one, and a day or two after it arrived, he opened the case and...
