  • Run OS X on the MSI Wind Mini Laptop -Adam showed you how to build a desktop “Hackintosh” PC running a version of Mac OS X Leopard, and now Jose Perez at Planetx64.com gets the job done on a mini laptop—specifically, the MSI Wind, which retails for about $600. Of course, this whole process voids your laptop’s warranty, disables your ability to do OS updates, only works with a Wind-friendly, hacked build of Leopard 10.5.4 (not the most recent 10.5.5), and leaves some hardware functionality behind, like the microphone and headset. But for the brave, stick-it-to-the-Apple-man-ers out there, it’s nice to know the Hackintosh laptop version can be done.

  • DIY IKEA Gadget Docking and Charging Station -ikea-charger.pngWeblog IKEA Hacker details how to turn a $15 IKEA Estetisk storage compartment into a streamlined gadget docking and charging station. All it takes is a drill and a little light plywood, and when you’re done you’ve got several small compartments perfect for all your gadget-charging needs. The poster also adds plastic grip pads to the top of the charging station to hold (and charge) a laptop on top. Not your flavor? Check out one of the many other charging stations we’ve covered in the past.

    Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Firefox extension Next Tab adds an option to the right-click context menu to open a link in a new tab directly next to the current tab. If you’re the sort who’s still got 10 tabs open on a light day, you know how quickly your reading can get disorganized. Next Tab helps keep those tabs in context and next to the tabs from whence they were launched. Next Tab is free, works wherever Firefox does.
