magicJack gets hacked into a magicNetbook

magicJack may still be sorting out its own fairly ambitious cellular plans, but it looks like some folks are taking it upon themselves to put the cheap phone call-making device to some exciting new uses — like this crafty modder who crammed his trusty “MJ” (as those in the know call it) into his Eee PC 1000HE netbook. That mod apparently took a full day of tweaking to get working just right, but it does indeed seem to work as promised, and will let you make dirt cheap phone calls simply by plugging any old phone directly into your netbook (via a headphone jack). Unfortunately, there’s no step-by-step how-to just yet, but you can check out some pics of the process at the link below and do your best to follow along.
