After pspjoke and n00b81 two big efforts currently Hello World (PSP successful step in the vulnerability to read) have been completed and passed the test, eloader (read vulnerability to run after the success of guided self-made PSP system software or home-made one step) is currently under development.

At the same time that the current 6.20 crack pspjoke system has worked well as a mechanism. However, not all people can get the code, only the important and people who can be trusted. So we have to do is to patiently wait for the release of cracking the system bar. Please look for the bus to bring you a more detailed break news.

ZeroClipboard

Do you remember the old days of web development, when IE6 was the king? (ok, it sounds soooo bad now but if you were already building sites in 2002 you know what I’m talking about!) It was extremely easy to force copy to clipboard.
But, for obvious security concerns, Firefox doesn’t allow clipboard access by default. This is a good thing, but for some sites, being able to copy into clipboard is a must.

Using powerful Javascript and a .swf file, ZeroClipboard allow you copy information into the user clipboard. For a live demo, just have a look to my Coupons For Bloggers site.

yourls

As a blogger, I know how important Twitter is to stay tuned with my readers and share my favorite links with them. But as you know, Twitter allows only 140 characters in messages. In order to create shorter urls, you can use a service like bit.ly or Tinyurl.com, or you can get yourls, and create your own service.

Yourls is built in PHP and is very easy to configure. If you’re using WordPress, you’ll probably be happy to know that yourls has its own WordPress plugin.

Thematic

Being a WordPress fan, I really love the concept of Theme frameworks. For those who doesn’t know what it is, Theme frameworks are WordPress themes which contain lots of functions and styles. You can extend both in looks and functionality by adding a child theme.
For example, my other blog Cats Who Blog is using the Thesis theme framework that I extended using my own styles and functions.

Many commercial frameworks are availables, but Thematic is 100% free. A definitive must download if you’re into WordPress!

Zen Coding

As a web developer, I often find it frustrating having to type lots of tags and attributes to reach the desired result. HTML tags are necessary of course, but that doesn’t mean it should consume so much typing.
This may be the idea Sergey Chikuyonok before he started to develop Zen Coding. What is Zen Coding? It is a handy set of tools for high-speed HTML and CSS coding. It integrate in your favorite text editor and then provide functions and shortcuts to speed up your development.

As an example, if you type this:

div#content>h1+p

You’ll get the following output:

<div id="content">
<h1></h1>
<p></p>
</div>

If you want to know more about Zen Coding, Smashing Magazine has a nice article about it.

jQuery transmit

Who doesn’t like jQuery? This very handy Javascript framework allows developers to enhance both the design and usability of your website. Thanks to plugins, jQuery can be easily enhanced with the functionalities you need. There’s a bunch of very cool jQuery plugins available from Google code so it was very hard to choose one. However, file upload has always been a major problem in web development and this jQuery plugin will be extremely helpful.

Using jQuery transmit is incredibely easy :

$(document).ready(function() {
    var options = {
        allowedFileTypes: [{
            description: "Images",
            extensions: "*.jpg; *.gif; *.png"
        }]
    };

    $("#transmit").transmit("http://mysite.com/upload/", options);
})

Any other you’d like to mention? Don’t hesitate to let me know in a comment

The source said that Siemens will be indicted by the Tribunal of its former Chief Financial Officer Heinz-Joachim Neubuerger and former director of Thomas Ganswindt, in order to settle bribery scandal, and forced a number of other suspects, the company executives to resign. Both men’s lawyers did not respond to the media Sunday request for an interview.

Siemens hopes to prosecute, to Neubuerger and Ganswindt duo claims 4 million with 100 million euros. Siemens said the two men was unable to fulfill their service management responsibilities.

In the past few months, Siemens has with several former board members are to reach an agreement. Last year, in September, the company Supervisory Board decided to prosecute those who do not want reconciliation with the company’s former executives.

Since the bribery case has been exposed, Siemens in 2008 to Germany and the U.S. authorities paid 1.2 billion euros related to litigation settlement, the company in the relevant legal affairs spending on the more than 800 million euros. Siemens this year, also reached a settlement agreement with the World Bank. In the above-mentioned settlement agreement, Siemens were not to recognize any bribery.

The core idea behind this is that anyone on the SUL leading up to the change has gotten an unfair advantage in terms of the number of followers they now have on Twitter. Leaving aside the fairness of it, it certainly is true that just about every person with over a million followers on the service only got that many because of the SUL. And while you may wonder why anyone cares about the number of followers they have, for some accounts, such as those tied to blogs, a huge number of followers is beneficial in terms of clicks coming into the site when links are tweeted out. TechCrunch has certainly benefitted from this, as have a number of other large blogs on the SUL.

As we showed yesterday, the new version of the SUL has drastically altered the rate at which new followers are being added to these accounts. And in many cases, people on the list are now actually losing followers. But as I noted, those who were on the old SUL are unlikely ever to be caught in terms of followers by anyone else now given these new rates ? hence, the call for the resetting of the counts.

It’s an interesting idea, but not one that is likely to happen. After all, if Twitter did a reset of users on the old SUL, it would mean breaking all the relationships accumulated over months or even years by those accounts ? including plenty completely unrelated to the SUL. And while that may seem more fair to some, to at least as many, it would just be annoying ? you would have to follow those accounts all over again. Meanwhile, resetting every user on Twitter to zero followers would just piss everyone off. And the complete distruction of the social graph could even threaten Twitter as a service itself. All social networks, whether they are Twitter or Facebook, are only as strong as their social graphs. Twitter wiping it own out, giving user less of a reason to return would be foolish.

So where does that leave us?

Well, as I said, in reality, nothing is likely to change. While it is a bit odd that the users on the old SUL (including @techcrunch) will continue to have follower counts in the millions while no one else does (except for maybe eventually the hard-charging @billgates), there really isn’t a good solution (or at least one that Twitter would be willing to do). But one thing Stern is concerned about with regard to the inflated follower counts is that anyone who was on the list can use it to their advantage for publicity. A simple solution to that would be to remove the follower count entirely. I wrote about this in length back in April. If Twitter were to simply not tell you how many people are following you, it would remove a huge part of why it matters so much (to both those on it and not on it): vanity. Of course, that wouldn’t be a perfect solution either because it wouldn’t take a smart third-party developer long to figure the follower numbers out through Twitter’s API.

Twitter is well aware that the original SUL was a less than ideal solution. No less than co-founder Evan Williams admitted back in October that he wanted to kill it off. But the fact remains that it did and still does serve a purpose. Without a suggested users list, most people who sign up for Twitter would have absolutely no idea who to follow and would simply leave. While statistics point to a good number of users doing that even with the SUL, Twitter is unlikely to have gotten to where it is today without this type of feature. It would have been the classic problem of: no one I know is using the site so I’m not going to use it either.

As I see it, Twitter’s only real solution is to keep improving this new SUL. While they say it’s already being dynamically updated frequently as determined by a number of unnamed factors, they should really work to make even more personalized. Maybe you get the default category SUL (as it is now) when you first sign up, but depending on your tweets (assuming they’re public), Twitter could offer you more personalized recommendations on who to follow. And they could also do what Facebook does and suggest friends based on other friends you have in common (something which it is promoting even more now, so it must be working).

Thanks to their new geolocation API, Twitter could also do some interesting things with recommending users who are nearby to you at any given moment. That may sounds a little creepy, but as long as it’s opt-in, it might be useful for some.

Undoubtedly, whether they say so or not, Twitter sees this type of SUL backlash as a minor bump in the road. After all, they have their goals set much higher then the millions of users they currently have. They want Facebook numbers, and beyond. If that happens, users will a million followers won’t be so uncommon, and the old SUL advantage will be rendered moot. It’s still a big “if,” but I would bet that’s their thinking on the matter.

It seems that the heart of the device is ID badge-sized cards that are supposed to be used for detected different items. There are different cards for everything from TNT, plastique, to even money and elephants. However, as the Cambridge Computer Laboratory found out, these cards contain nothing more than a dumb RFID tag. Seriously, watch the BBC investigation video after the jump.

Apple tablet roundup: Who’s going to use the thing? — Apple?s tablet has provided no shortage of rumors.

And here are five more stories we thought were important, thought-provoking, or fun:

Seesmic goes after mainstream consumers, tablets with Look — The typical Twitter client, which is used to read tweets, might resemble rocket science to grandma. With that in mind, Seesmic, which is behind several mobile, desktop and web-based social media clients for keeping track of tweets and Facebook updates, is going after regular consumers with a new product called Seesmic Look.

Google: Our focused approach paid off, ‘We like the Chinese people’ — While crowing about Google?s strong fourth quarter earnings, the search giant?s executives looked back on 2009 as a whole. Google seemed to elbow its way into many new markets over the course of the year, but Vice President of Product Management Jonathan Rosenberg said it also benefited by deciding to ?double down? on its core products like search.

AdMob: Apple may break its tie with Nokia for world domination — Apple, with its iPhone OS, is the dominant force in North America, Western Europe, Latin America and Oceania, while Nokia, running the Symbian OS, still leads in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, according to December 2009 survey data published by mobile advertising network AdMob.

Astronaut tweets from space — Previous “tweets from space” have involved email messages sent by astronauts to people back on the ground who actually post the message on Twitter. In this case, astronaut T.J. Creamer posted the tweet himself, via the International Space Station’s LAN connection. His message: “Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station–the 1st live tweet from Space! More soon, send your ?s”

Google vs. Microsoft vs. Apple vs. Yahoo — To help understand how these four tech giants compete, The New York Times’ Nick Bilton created a chart showing the different markets where each company has a product.

Digg to go real-time … eventually — Kevin Rose, founder of the popular news aggregator, has been talking about overhauling the site and making it more “real time” for almost a year. Now he’s telling the Telegraph that the redesign will go live in a few months, and it will be the biggest change in the site’s history.

The WakeMate device, which costs $50, consists of a small wristband that you wear during the night. It tracks your movements throughout the night, which you can analyze from your computer, and can also work in tandem with your phone alarm to wake you up in the lightest phase of sleep (which is supposed to help eliminate grogginess). There are competitors in this space, like the Zeo Sleep Coach, but WakeMake is about $200 cheaper.

Dru Wynings has posted the Email in its entirety. The reason for the delay? WakeMate says it wanted to make more improvements:

We’ve experienced numerous breakthroughs over these short months. We’ve improved our hardware by leaps and bounds, making it sleeker, smarter and more efficient by taking advantage of the latest technological developments. We’ve also researched new and better algorithms to power our sleep analytics software which will further increase the accuracy and usefulness of your WakeMate. Unfortunately, these improvements have taken time. While this means we will not be shipping the first batch of WakeMates on the 25th as planned, when we do you’ll be getting a much better product!

WakeMate’s letter stirred up quite a bit of unrest among users who had preordered, in part because WakeMate offered access to premium analytics features as compensation for the delay. That would be all well and good, but users who ordered before now were not informed that they would have to pay for premium subscriptions to unlock the full potential of the device.

WakeMate says that the premium features referred to are actually in addition to the features they had previously announced, so customers aren’t dealing with a bait and switch. But in light of the confusion caused, today they’re sending users a follow up Email to announce that all pre-order customers will have access to all premium software features free of charge.

Here’s the second Email, which will be going out this afternoon, in its entirety:

Sorry guys!

In our our previous email we warned about a delay in shipping

WakeMates to our pre-order customers. To compensate customers for

the delay we proposed to give them some future premium features for

free. Unfortunately we weren’t clear enough about this, and some

customers thought it was an attempt to charge them more.

So let’s try this again:

1. The current delay is due entirely to changes in our hardware and

software, and manufacturing issues caused by the volume of orders

we’ve received; it is in no way related to the development of premium

features.

2. Regardless of future premium add-ons, customers who have pre-ordered

WakeMates will never have to pay to use online analytics, nor will

any customer receive an inferior product for not doing so. We

apologize for giving the impression that anyone might.

3. We hope we will be able to start shipping the first units next

month, but since we’re still learning the ropes of large-volume

manufacturing, we don’t want to make any promises we’re not sure

we can keep. We appreciate your patience and we’ll keep you updated.

4. To make up for the frustration and confusion, we’re going to

give all pre-order customers all future premium software features

free of charge.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to email

preorder@wakemate.com directly.

Sincere apologies for the confusion,

The WakeMate Team

Delays are nothing new when it comes to startups that are building hardware. Fitbit, a startup that makes a exercise-tracking gadget, took a year to launch after its debut at TechCrunch50, and new customers still face lengthy waits to receive their devices.

But first, let me tell you a story. Two years ago I contacted Turkey’s pre-eminent “Web 2.0″ blogger, Arda Kutsal of Webrazzi. I said let’s do a TechCrunch Europe meetup in Istanbul. Duly, a few weeks later I took a flight out, got to the hotel he mentioned and figured Arda had organised the meetup in the bar. No, said the receptionist, “It’s in the Grand Ballroom.” I headed down the hall to find about 400 people. That was the kind of thing that was going on then.

Two years on, with a packed room full of European VCs and private equity people hearing pitches from a wide range of Turkish technology companies, it’s clear the investment community is keenly interested in this market.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Mike. We made a mistake in this instance and are in the process of returning the username to Mr. Bajwa. To be clear, the move was not driven by monetary reasons, rather trademark protection. We strive to protect trademarks from ’squatters’ — those who try to take protected terms with no legitimate claim. The message Harman received was along those lines, but clearly not applicable. Once we understood the nature of our error, we moved quickly to resolve it. We want to apologize to Mr. Bajwa for being overzealous in our efforts and regret the disruption to his account.

Here are the Facebook guidelines on trademark squatting. Which is fine for Nike or coca-cola, but definitely a grey area for trademarks that are also legitimately in use as people’s names. I’d pay to see the emails that must have been flying around Facebook this morning. But they did the right thing here, and that’s all that matters.
