It’s Not Wise To Upset A Skater on the Wookie Longboard

When will the brutality end? First R2-D2 was disassembled and turned into a Vespa, and now Chewbacca has been hunted like an animal so his pelt could be turned into a longboard. Still, it IS a pretty sweet looking ride. The Wookie Longboard comes from Geoff McCleary of WeirdBoards. The deck is covered in brown fur, features a hand-painted raise wood bandolier, and rocks 7” Core trucks with Bigfoot wheels. (And seriously folks, no wookiees were harmed in the making of this skateboard—the creators assure us that the wookie fur is not real.)

ZTE confirms the Score M has a backdoor, hopes to patch up soon

Posted on 18/05/2012 by Jon Fingas

Who knew that owning a ZTE Score M would mean living life on the edge? ZTE has confirmed that the MetroPCS phone has a backdoor vulnerability which could let a less-than-scrupulous hacker get root-level control over the Android 2.3 phone -- and because it's a unique app baked into the firmware, the login credentials won't change as long as the exploit survives. Other ZTE phones, like the Skate, supposedly face the same hole as well. The company says it should have a patch ready to push over the air in the "very near future," but it hasn't said why the app existed in the first place. Either way, if you currently pocket the Score M or one of ZTE's other recent Android devices, we'd keep watch for any suspicious goings-on until a fix is in place.
