Our friends at Defense Devices gave us some time to play with their credit card lock pick set.

Being a locksmith you know that carrying lock smith tools can raise a lot of eye brows. But with this slick device you can carry your tools conveniently and securely. This set is intended for the real skilled lock smith.

The card case is made out of hard plastic so it will hold up to everyday wear and tear. Packed with 4 stainless steel picks and 1 stainless steel tension tool. The case is just the right size to fit in your wallet or pocket.
As always you should check with you local law before buy lock pick sets if you are not a trained professional.

Dont forget to say ihacked for a 5% discount on your purchase!

from The Apple Store (U.S.)

Check out the Apple online store, it appears they may be “making room” for something because they are CLEARANCING inventory! If you were thinking about buying an iPod, now might be a good time. Current generation of iPod Nanos on top with a “Limited Time Special Price” of $129! Farther down the page, current generation of Video iPods discounted to $199!

In celebration of our 5 year anniversary, with over 2 million unique visits, xbins is proudly presenting the first xbins contest! As the center of all xbox homebrew, we still thrive today in providing developers support to contribute publically to this large scene. We must first give our most expressed thanks and appreciation to our sponsor http://www.modchipman.com who is providing the prizes for this competition.

Here’s how the contest is going to work:

Various ‘items’ are going to be randomly hidden on our FTP server. Inside these item’s will be a code. Once you find one of the item’s, you will enter the code inside(just open the file with notepad to get the code) into the code box with your email at the bottom of this page. Once that code is submitted, it will no longer be valid. One prize per person. The contest will begin at 3pm PST on Saturday June 30th, and will last for 3 hours. You will need to join our channel #xbins on Efnet, IRC in order to participate. You may learn how to do that here . I want to note that the channel will be left unmoderated so that people can actually talk in the channel…something not done in quite a few years

According to the Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Blockbuster is introducing a holiday promotion that will let Netflix subscribers rent Blockbuster movies for free. Here’s how it works: Netflix members can turn in the tear-off flaps from any red Netflix envelopes for free rentals at any Blockbuster store. The promotion is set to run through December 21.

Obviously, Blockbuster is using this promotion to boost exposure of its newly released “Total Access” feature, which allows customers to exchange DVDs received through the mail with DVDs available in stores. The rental chain seems willing to try anything to gain customers from Netflix.

As expected the Xbox360 won Amazon’s Customer Vote. Thursday 11am PST there will be 1000 Xbox360 Core system available for just 100 USD (instead of 299 USD). Get your browsers ready - it’s probably gonna sell out in a matter of seconds:

Each week’s winner goes on sale Thursdays at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. Buying will close when available quantities have sold out. Be online, ready and waiting on Amazon.com, the second buying goes live. If you don’t have an Amazon.com account already, get one now. We predict that these deals will sell out rapidly.

You must buy via the Amazon Customers Vote page, not the product detail page, in order to buy one of the set-aside items; otherwise, you will not pass through the series of screens in which we issue the claim code, and you will not receive the discount.
