Not everything is pretty in Apple land. This custom clear replacement case bares your iPhone 3G naughty bits completely naked. Some people hate it, some people love it, we just ogle. [icustom]
Most of you download-hungry Gizmodians probably won’t be able to make the most of these new entry-level Naked DSL pricings from Internode, but if you have a Nanna somewhere looking for some good value broadbandand VoIP bundles, you might want to point them in this general direction. Essentially, Internode has dropped the price of its entry-level Naked DSL plans to $50.
There are two plans: the Home-NakedExtreme-5 service, which runs of Internode’s own equipment and includes 5GB of data, or the Home-Naked-1, which runs of Optus’ wholesale equipment and includes 1GB of data. I’m assuming that which option you get depends on where you live and what exchanges Internode’s set up on.
On top of these plans you can bundle Internode’s Node2Phone VoIP service, with pre-paid bundles starting at $5 a month for $10 worth of calls. And if you exceed your monthly data quota, you’ll be happy to know that Internode has doubled the amount of data in their data blocks. So where $5 would have bought you 1GB, it now gives you 2GB.
It’s good to see ISPs pushing the naked bandwagon. Now all we need is for one of them to set up their equipment in my local exchange so I can move away from Telstra-run equipment…
Have you ever wondered what somebody looks like under their clothes? I’m guessing you have! Well, so have researchers at Brown University. That’s why they’ve developed some fancy software that creates models of what people look like naked based only on pictures of them in their clothes. Awesome?
VoIP is good and stuff, but nine times out of ten it isn’t worth the effort (or the cost). Which is probably why Engin has been struggling in recent times.
To try and remedy this situation, Engin are planning on entering the Naked DSL market. Other naked DSL offerings include free VoIP services with their networks, so the move isn’t exactly surprising.
The plan is to launch the broadband services in October, according to their website, although there isn’t a lot of information on where the service will be available.
The mre companies offering the ability to get online and make cheap phone calls without line rental, the better in my opinion. Hopefully the pricing offered from Engin will be nice and competitive when it launches in a couple of months.

Did you know your teens are swapping naked pictures of themselves with their dates? We’ve got a few questions about how widespread this is—mainstream news sites love to take a few cases of anything and pretend it’s an epidemic—but it is an interesting enough topic for us to look into. You know, teen nakedness.
Naked DSL seems to be getting a lot of fans in Australia at the moment, from consumers to ISPs. It might have something to do with the exorbitant price of line rental through Telstra and Optus, or it might just be that people like the thought of anything – even broadband – naked. We can’t decide.
Internode recently launched the Naked DSL service to new numbers, and within weeks had garnered over 1000 people signing up to the service. The success has prompted the company to rollout Naked DSL to existing phone services.
It’ll cost you $129 to make the switch – which is $20 cheaper than setting up a new number – and plans start at $60 per month for 5GB worth of data. For $10 per month extra, you can add a VoIP service to your bill, which includes $10 worth of calls.
The service is available at about 350 exchanges, although you’ll need to enter your phone number on Internode’s website to find out whether you’re eligible.
The process of switching is supposed to be a relatively painless one, but they would say that. if anybody decides to make the switch, let us know how it went in comments.
See those shots right there. The guys at Techwarelabs claim they’re “spy shots” of Intel’s first quad-core notebook. They’re not the most flattering shots around, but if the pics don’t do it for you, maybe the specs will.
