IntoMobile just found an app that can unlock any BlackBerry 8000 or 9000 series device, free of charge. What's the catch? It's only semi-legal. So, you'd better download these files fast before they're taken down (they'll most likely pop up again elsewhere though, with a day or two's delay). The instructions are here, complete with photos of the process. If you want to unlock, hit that up now rather than pay $30-$50 to some guy to unlock your phone for you.

I've been keeping my VHS around just for these two clips: Guided by Voices and the Flaming Lips, both at their absolute peak on the old Jon Stewart show.

Restaurant guide Zagat has laid off 19 staffers, or about 14 percent of its 130-person workforce, a company rep said, confirming an earlier tip to paidContent. The cuts, which were made across all departments, were blamed on the recession. At the beginning of the year, Zagat attempted to put itself up for sale, with the hope of netting $200 million. But six months later, after potential buyers balked at the price, Zagat had a change of heart and decided to take itself off the market. In 2000, the Zagat family sold off a third of its business, then valued at more than $100 million, to an investment group led by General Atlantic Partners, and including Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers and Allen & Company. After giving up on the sale last June, the company said it would focus on building up its online and mobile products, though those plans may also be scaled back as the downturn deepens.

In theory, anti-stress balls help you when you are a bit :-| or XO, because squeezing them helps you release some inner anger and make you bit more :-D. Whatever. I hate these things. galleryPost('stressballs', 3, ''); Every time I try one I want to get a knife and cut them in little pieces, which is probably what I will do if someone gets me these for Xmas. Still, they look like a perfect stocking stuffer for just $12. [Deviant Wear]

Fujitsu Siemens has been showing off its AMILO Sa 3650 and AMILO GraphicBooster add-on for a few months now, and we even recently saw the combo put to the Crysis test, but it looks like both are now finally, actually rolling out to the general public. In case you missed it, the laptop itself is a 13-inch, AMD-based number (your choice of Turion X2 or Athlon X2 processors), with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, up to 4GB of RAM, and either and either a 250GB or 320GB hard drive. The GraphicBooster add-on, which currently only works with the Sa 3650, is based around an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 graphics card, and promises a 470% increase in graphics performance over the laptop's built-in graphics. No word on prices just yet, unfortunately but both the laptop and the GraphicBooster add-on will apparently be available at some "specialist retailers" this month.[Via MobileTechReview]
