Well the other day I was bored and decided to go to Wall-Mart and look around. Needless to say I discovered a few cool things while I was there.

First of all I was where every other self respecting Phreaker would be... the electronics section. While I was checking to see if they had any good CDs I noticed that the little thing that you scan the CD under and it plays music clips for you was hitched up to a network. So of course I had to investigate further. So far I have not come up with much, but what I did find out was that the whole thing is tied into a 100 Mbps network. The thing that you scan the CD under and plays the music has 2 cables on the back of it a power cable and a Cat5 network cable plugged into it. I followed the Cat5 cable back to a hub. Also plugged into the hub was a hefty looking server. The server is stashed under the CD rack, IM assuming that the server stores all the music. I have no clue what OS it is running but it must have a massive Hard Drive to store all that music. I would also love to find out what the things that you scan the CDs under is. If anyone has any information on this let me know.

After making a fool of myself by crawling around in electronics I moved onto automotive. Believe it or not there were a few cool things in automotive too. The first neat thing I found in automotive was the little touch screen battery finder. This neat little unit is located on the end of rack that holds the car batteries. While fooling around with this I noticed that the case can easily be tilted up. Of course being the curious guy I am I decided to lift up the cover and see what is under the hood. Needless to say it was a neat piece of equipment. The unit consisted of a computer with a built in touch screen monitor. This seemed quite odd to me so I decided to see what it ran off of so I pressed the reboot button. It turns out this is quite the nice computer. The computer was a Celron 400, 32megs ram, 6.4 gig HD, Floppy, CD ROM, and running Windows 98se. You would thing that it would be more cost effective to build a custom computer..... I guess not. So next time you go to Wal-Mart play around with it a little.
NOTE: It is easy to crash the system if you keep on hitting the back button.
Wal-Mart has recently started to issue the Motorola business radios to their employees. These radios are used by Wal-Mart employees for communication inside the store. The only problem with this little setup is that anyone can go to Radio shack or even right in Wal-Mart and buy one of these radios for Forty dollars. Now when you get ahold of one of these radios you can have all kinds of fun messing with the employees. The best part is you can be up to Two miles away (if there is not too much blocking the way). The only tricky part is you have to find out what frequency they are using. This is not always as hard as it looks. Just find someone that has one and look on the LCD and see what channel it is on. The Wal-Mart near me user 14-silent-14 what this means is they are using channel 14 and sub channel 14 kinda like 14.14. If you don't get it read the manual. When you get the frequency what I recommend doing is going outside and just have fun confusing them for a while, when that gets boring just yell things. What I like to to is also have someone inside so they can tell me what happened.

Have fun and don't get caught:

I have some stuff to add as soon as I type it.
