If you’re not familiar with the Tor network: it basically provides layers of encryption and anonymity that can help ensure your privacy. However, a common complaint is that the servers are slow. Therefore, if you can, follow these instructions (for Ubuntu) and donate some of your own bandwidth, or at least Digg this to help anonymity online.

Want to add iPhone ringtones? iToner’s your solution, it’s the easiest (and most graphically purdy) method we’ve seen yet, and it works without even jailbreaking your iPhone. The down side (yeah, there’s always a downside) is this simple utility could teach a course in Nagware 101, bugging you incessantly and imposing increasingly longer delays before carrying out its function until you buy the thing. Still, it’s worth it if you’ve been waiting for an excuse not to use marimba anymore. We’d just suggest waiting until next Wednesday before making the buy, we hear Apple might just do this thing themselves. More shots after the break.

It’s not like it’s too big of a deal, but we happened by this new Blu-ray player from Sony while we were on our mass-wanderings amongst the gadgetry at IFA, and we thought we’d share a few images. Really nothing to write home about, though it does have a snazzy sliding front panel (the one that appears mirrored) — but we couldn’t say what that panel’s function actually is. Maybe you can figure it out, so have a look at the gallery.

The two big teams claiming iPhone software SIM unlock solutions (iPhoneSIMfree and UniquePhones) have been a bit mum of late, but while iPhoneSIMfree’s hack is supposedly due by tomorrow, you just might have a free (as in beer) alternative — if you’re the type to believe the hype you read on internet forums. Unknowns the Deathcorp team claim tomorrow, September 1st, will also mark the wide public release of their iPhone SIM unlock software, which is supposedly going to be distributed with no charge to you, unlike iPhoneSIMfree’s forthcoming release, and UniquePhones’s intended, but waylayed, launch. As usual, we’ll be there to sort the fact from the fiction.
[Thanks, Ed]

Ever wanted a full, 1080p camcorder that looked just like the Super-8 your dad used to shoot sun-soaked home movies with back in the 1970s? Well, you’re in luck, because Sanyo seems to be sharing your nostalgic vibes this year, particularly in the case of the Xacti DMX-HD1000, the world’s tiniest, full-HD video camera. We got our chance to manhandle this minuscule (yet powerful) camcorder at IFA today and honestly, it’s like holding a gun… a memory gun. Deep, right? Take a look at the totally ill photo gallery and let us know your thoughts on the matter.
