You might think your consumer-model Canon digital camera can't pull off the kind of fancy shots and tricks that make you stop and look on Flickr—until you unlock your camera's potential with the Canon Hacker's Development Kit.

Wired's How-To Wiki has a handy guide and introduction to the CHDK, available at the link below. I lack a Canon to try out the CHDK, so let your fellow readers k read more »

Free router firmware DD-WRT, which we used to show you how to turn your $60 router into a $600 router, updates to version 24. The update features several new advanced features and the same excellent features—like Wi-Fi signal boosting—as earlier versions. If DD-WRT isn't your bag, check out the alternative Tomato firmware, with twice the eye candy.

Whether that means pinpointing your location on a Google Map (which iPhones already do), tracking your friends when you go out, or giving you a heads-up on the best place to eat within a three-block radius, the location-aware future is bright. Here's how it'll work.
