    Toyota should make this awesome-looking Jeep alternative.

    Toyota made a one-off Land Cruiser concept for SEMA that would make a Wrangler fan blush. The “ROX” is based on the 2024 Land Cruiser but is open-air like the ones the automaker made decades ago. Ford brought back the Bronco, and Toyota should follow suit.

    Sound the Alarmo!

    Nintendo’s buzzy new alarm clock has been jailbroken by a hacker named Gary who figured out the device’s boot sequence and found a way to exploit and run code through USB. It opens up the possibility for some interesting hacks, but to start we have cat pictures and plasma effects.

    Gary previously created a Wii U DNS exploit and chimed in on dying Wii Us.
