If President - elect Obama really is the technology president , as many consider he will be , he ’s going to call for to replace that red phone hotline on his desk with achumby . fortuitously , MAKEshows us how .
Now , just to start , this ingenious flake of chumby hacking does n’t turn the gadget into a lineal contrast to the chairperson . Let that idea pass away right here and now ; you will not be discussing our Carry Nation ’s atomic launching codes with a unrestrained President Obama via a chumby earpiece anytime shortly ( it is Linux , though , so who cognise what someone will cook up eventually ) .
What it does do is allow for you to experiment with this improbably hackable gimmick and have a fun short weekend undertaking that will make your home office or work kiosk that much cooler . The DIY labor does n’t dial out — yet — but it will play tunes though the handset thanks to clever speaker placement . The “ Future Improvements ” contrive for this project , made possible by the maker - endorsed hacking that ’s possible with the platform , are also pretty cool .
last , when Obama is n’t saving the free world with his chumby , he can unwind withQuake ; feedhis fish ; or even give his infamous iPod a faulting with some relaxingPandora internet radiotunes . He does n’t have anything else planned for when he takes office next week , ripe ? [ MAKE — Thanks , Mike ! ]
