Walmart Sold a Zune Filled With Gay Pornography ★

Not as funny as the women who bought an iPod last year only to find the box filled with some sort of mystery meat.

Input manager hack for Camino that adds saved sessions to Camino 1.0.

Open source SIMBL hack adds saved session support to Safari — quit Safari with open windows and tabs and those URLs will be reloaded the next time you launch it. Forget Me Not also adds Undo Close Tab and Unclose Window commands.

Yes, yes, Saft offers some of these features and a whole lot more, but when it comes to dirty hacks like this, I prefer (a) hacks that do as few things as possible, and (b) the ability to look at the source code. I say this as a paid user of Saft.

Microsoft Sends Free Acer ‘Ferrari’ Notebooks Loaded With Vista Ultimate to Influential Bloggers ★
