GeoHot - Hip Hop Hacker!

2010-10-10T20:43:00.001-07:00

Hahahahahahahaaaa!!!!! Oh! crap! After all the BS that good ol' George has put all of us iPhone owners looking for a jailbreak, I'm loving this!

The other day while someone was trolling MySpace they found this shining nugget of a gem.

And I'm pretty sure it's legit, being from 2006 & containing original "hits" from MC GeezHeezy. Plus also found a video on YouTube of EgoHot. Check the link to his MySpace Page

Have a laugh at his expense, because he had one at yours...

NEW! limera1n jailbreak iPhone 3GS/4G on 4.1!

2010-10-09T21:35:00.000-07:00

This is NOT for users on a beta iOS! Only available for windows currently.

In limera1n's current state as of 10/9/10 at 9:30pm it's kind of BUGGY, so

use at your own risk. Users have reported loosing WiFi & BlueTooth &

Cydia icon looking strange, but a restore/reboot should fix the icon. This

Jailbreak supports 3GS & 4G iPhones & iPod Touch models & also iPads.

For the Windows DL go to limera1n.com & DL the link at the bottom of

the page.

*Older 3G iPhones & iPT2G's can use Sn0wbreeze 2.0/2.1 from

iH8sn0w.com

Run down...

1. You need to have OFFICIAL iOS 4.1 installed

2. This is still in beta so those who don't want to risk their device should wait

for greenpois0n to drop in the next 12-48 hours.

3. Supports iPhone 3GS & 4 + ipt3/4g & iPad(Apple TV has yet to be

confirmed)

4. **MOST IMPORTANT!!!->->**IF YOU HAVE A BASEBAND

UNLOCK & WANT TO KEEP IT TO REMAIN UNLOCKED & ON

YOUR CURRENT CARRIER...DO NOT UPGRADE FIRMWARE &

DO NOT JAILBREAK OR YOU WIL LOSE YOUR UNLOCK!!!

WAIT FOR greenpois0n/ultrasn0w unlock!!!

5. **ALL OF THIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Personally I think Geohot fucked up by not coming forward with his exploit

& collaborating with iPhone & Chronic Devs on greenpois0n using HIS

exploit from the jump. In turn saving SHAtter for 5th Gen devices/2gen

iPads. Now who knows what will happen with greenpois0n & SHAtter may

well have been compromised. Way to go Egohot, I mean Geohot.

P.S. if you do use this limera1n jailbreak, DON'T DONATE, it will only

encourage him to continue his fucked up behavior. For knowledge sake,

none of the devs or iPhone/Chronic teams support this bullshit he pulled.

They think he's in it for his ego & shock value. If he had the community

interest in mind he would have came forward long ago to work together on

this with everyone instead of hiding out & then dropping this SHIT STORM

that all the other devs have to deal with.

For one geohot is no where on the internet, at least no where you can find

him. All those Twitter accounts are B.S., his blog is set to private & you can't

contact him through his website, so Chronic & iPhone Devs get to handle his

mess. Don't belive me, just look at the twitter feed for the last 12 hours for

their Team's list. NUTS! I just hope this stunt doesn't fuck up things for

everyone else.

...PEACE!

iPhone/iPod Touch App review-Skater Nation

2010-10-07T17:50:00.000-07:00

This Skateboarding game app is awesome! One of the best controls on
the iPhone4, graphics arent the best but their decent & has alot of territory
to cover. In this huge city you can skate ramps at the skate park, beach
front boardwalks, warehouses, rooftops & more!

PLUS!...on of the dopest features about this game that ALL game apps
for iPhone4 should have, is YouTube video upload of your game replay!!
Why aren't there like a hundred games with this feature?? Gameloft SA
in only one game descides to use this AWESOME developer API?!!
What are people NUTS?!! Adding this feature to so many games would
increase the immersion into the game world & the ability to share the
actual game play with friends & the world is like free advertising! Any
Devs that don't use this for any sports, action, pilot or First Person Shooter
is loosing out on a potential fortune & not taking advantage of all the API
tools that Apple makes available in their SDK's.

In short buy this for $4.99, you won't be dissapointed!!! Or wait till it goes
on sale, I'll let you know. But you'll be missing out on many hours of SK8
sessions & videos you could be showing your friends of your EPIC tricks &
High Scores!

Shared from AppAdvice.com: The IS Drive BitTorrent App Is No More

2010-10-07T00:15:00.000-07:00

From AppAdvice.com:

The IS Drive BitTorrent App Is No
More

http://appadvice.com/appnn/2010/10/drive-bittorrent-app/

Well looks like Apple is just as strict as ever! First Camera+ gone for breaking the developer API rules by their app accessing the volume buttons as a shutter. Now the Bit-Torrent DL manager app we all thought was approved gets pulled. And just like Camera+, IS Drive Bit Torrent App got accepted by deceivingly leaving out info on what it's features were.

iPhone4 rumored to hit Verizon early next year

2010-10-06T20:21:00.001-07:00

The rumors surrounding iPhone & Verizon just don't quit! With information coming from every source but the horses mouth(the one that matters most!).

Analyst Jeffrey Fidacaro with Susquehanna Financial Group said in a note to investors on Wednesday that checks with overseas suppliers indicated Apple is prepared to build 3 million CDMA iPhones in December, keeping the device on track for an early 2011 launch. That would put total GSM and CDMA iPhone production for the quarter at between 21 million and 22 million.

Some have speculated that those iPhone4's are headed for China to a different carrier than Apple's current Chinese wireless contract. Others have said that those aren't even CDMA iPhones @ there just the elusive White iPhone4's, which are starting to sound like a white unicorn more than a white iPhone! Others still are saying that pigs will fly & it's really Pink hearts, Green clovers & Purple horse shoes you'll find at the end of the rainbow not a pot o' gold.

Then later today after yet another round of media speculation & questions a Verizon spokes person said any news on the iPhone coming to Verizon will come from Apple & Steve Jobs, NOT FROM VERIZON! So there you have it, nothing more concrete than yesterday or last week & so on. Only time will tell, so in the mean time grab yourself a bowl of Lucky Charms & plop down in front of your new Apple TV & catch up on episodes of Desperate Days of Our N.C.I.S. Hospital Housewives of Jersey Shore.

RIM's Blackberry Playbook really exists? Or not.

2010-10-04T02:04:00.001-07:00

I saw a link for this article from Covering The Web on Twitter so I took a peek. But from the moment I started reading I new something wasn't quite right. Like the authors reference to the Playbook being similar to 3 pieces of cardboard?

Hit the link & decide for yourself...is the Blackberry Playbook REAL?? http://www.coveringweb.com/2010/10/blackberry-playbook-really-exists.html Funny thing is the screen looks just like the kindle, which the company describes as having a screen view just like a book(aka paper).

Adidas pulls $10 million iAD campaign

2010-10-03T16:17:00.001-07:00

Well it sounds like Steve Jobs & Apple Inc have become the Orwellian Big Brother figure from their 1984 Super Bowl ads. Kind of ironic how they've become the "overlords" that they claimed to be freeing us from in those first Mac ads.

Adidas supposedly pulled its $10+ million ad campaign from the iAd program because Apple CEO Steve Jobs was being too much of a control freak. According to one industry exec, Adidas decided to cancel its iAds after Apple rejected its creative concept for the third time.

It seems as though it's not just the App Store that has a strict acceptance policy. I find it hard to believe that Adidas had ads that were that far out of line or were that horrible? I'd like to see some of those ads that caused it to be rejected. Maybe they featured certain tennis star in skimpy outfits & compromising positions?

Either way this is just another step in the wrong direction for a company that makes such great products. To provide awesome devices with amazing potential & then to disable it's capabilities with ridiculous restrictions in the name of security or the end user experience? Hey Jobs!...How about letting the end user decide what's good for the end user??

New iMac's may have touch screen

2010-10-02T10:07:00.001-07:00

These days the buzz around all of Apple's products have been at full tilt. With anticipation of the new greenpois0n jailbreak in beta phase & rumors of new iPad designs, Verizon iPhones & more. Now the latest word is that the new iMac's will feature a touch screen!

Asian tech company, Sintek Photonics has reportedly shipped samples of capacitive touch panels to Apple. The touch-enabled iMac will reportedly have good vertical and horizontal viewing angles, and its “one-glass” touch panel will integrate the sensor and cover glass for a slimmer, lighter design. Patently Apple reported in August that Apple registered patents for new iMac design that in addition to standard vertical viewing angle, would also feature horizontal tilt. Which would be essential for using a touch screen longer than a few seconds.

The only problem is that engineers state that building touch screens this large is complex & expensive. Although I'm sure Apple with figure a way to accomplish their goals.

VERIZON iPhone4?!! Leaked?!!

2010-09-30T23:37:00.000-07:00

Verizon posted a page today on their website that they're now buying iPhones from AT&T in exchange for a Verizon gift certificate. But the prices their willing to shell out for even the newest iPhone4 will probably put you off from any delusional thoughts you may have had of selling it to Verizon! Watch the video & see for yourself! It's pretty funny!

New iPad patents surface in China!

2010-09-27T23:05:00.001-07:00

There seems to be much debate over what the small round dot on the top front of these new patent designs represents. Although in my mind it can only be one thing...a FaceTime camera. Just as I predicted for the new iPod Touch to have a camera, I was talking with some ladies in the Apple Store the other day who were looking to buy a new iPad. I told them that they should probably hold off for the next generation, because most likely it would feature a camera. Although using the iPad as a normal camera would be pretty awkward a forward facing camera for FaceTime makes perfect sense.

Earlier in the day the story was all about the 30 pin sync/charge port landscape docking feature, a "mysterious" "USB"/"HDMI" port & a possible "smart bezel" feature that could support Multi-Touch. I & most of the commenters figured the real story was the front facing camera. But stories started by focusing on what they thought was a mini USB or HDMI? I don't think so?? Apple has been moving toward WiFi & Bluetooth syncing & connectivity, why in the ne of Steve Jobs & all that is Jailbreakable would they take a step backwards?? Though it seemed most of the comments shot this idea down quick as lightning also, by pointing out it was probably just the memory card tray for 3G enable iPads. I could see the posibility of a landscape docking port & definitely the FaceTime camera, but HDMI/USB? That's insane! ALTHOUGH...I could see a huge step forward with a USB for syncing OUT, say to an iPod or your iPhone? It could make sense & Apple has been trying to push the
iPad forward in a larger roll as more than just a tablet. Possibly making the iPad a Semi-standalone device? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking as I'd like to ditch my laptop altogether for an iPad. And as for the smart bezel? To me that seems like just to much going on for the clean smooth design of Apples iDevices. But as for now it's all just HOT AIR! We'll have to wait for next year when they unveil the real thing. That is unless some waisted Apple tech slips up again? I'm sure Jobs has anyone with test Devices followed by their security team now.

So, with all the BS flying about today with iPad rumors, impending greenpois0n jailbreak releases & whatnot. What do you think will be featured on the newest iPad? Leave your ideas in the comments section! We'll have a RUMOR WAR!
