abstract:Hack a Day is an online magazine which publishes hacks each day as well as a special How-To hack each week. A hack here refers to modifications of a product or software as well as creation of something entirely new for convenience, novelty, function or creativity.
As HackADay notes, one can easily question the wisdom of "a pair of microwave transceivers and a LiPo battery strapped directly over one's eyes and brain, " but that's the price of progress, right?
Reportedly, users spend only an average of 10-12 seconds solving a PlayThru compared to 16 seconds for a CAPTCHA. More secure, faster, and an element of fun is definitely an improvement, but already attempts at hacking it have been posted on YouTube and discussed at HackADay.
The hack came aday before Mr. Murdoch and his son James were expected to appear before Britain's parliament on Tuesday to answer questions about a growing phone-hacking scandal, in which employees of another News Corp. newspaper are alleged to have hacked into cell phone voice mail of celebrities, politicians and in one case a murdered girl.
