iPhone Dev Team unleashes Pwnage Tool 2.0 {Engadget}
Jul 20th 2008 8:31AM Just to throw my results into the mix. I came home from the pub last night to see that it had been released. Downloaded 2.0 firmware, found a link to the botloader files on gogle. Dowloaded Pwnage and after a 1st failed attempt to get it into DFU mode because the Pwnage animation messed up, I got it all running.
I've had no problems, facebook ap crashed once and everything else works fine.
FYI: I'm on a US 1st gen iPhone that has been unlocked with every firmware release since I bought it. Running on Vodafone in the UK.
Wii outsells the PS3 4-to-1 in Japan, Sony execs "not psyched" {Engadget}
Feb 29th 2008 5:21AM I have a PS3 and a Wii.
I have tons of games for my Wii but hardly any or my PS3. I really just bought it for MGS4 and GTAIV. The problem is that every other game released for the PS3 is an FPS (which I've never really gotten into). Little Big Planet is the only unexpected game I'm waiting for.
Apple TV (take 2) update delayed {Engadget}
Jan 30th 2008 12:32PM Awww maaaaaannnnn!
I was just thinking tha yuesterday was exactly 2 weeks since Jobsy said it would be 2 weeks for the update. Don't suppose they mean it's been delayed by a few hours? I want HD rentals and I want them NOW! (stomps feet)
iTunes: Free Wednesday {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 30th 2008 12:22PM Actually the LOST shows on iTunes today (Weds) are only a recap of the last 3 series and a trailer for season 4.
I should expect Season 4 will be on iTunes after the premiere on ABS on the 31st.
iTunes movie rentals in Europe on a slow boat to China {Engadget}
Jan 21st 2008 7:55AM I am in the UK and have a US iTunes too.
Beware though, I just had my account disabled because I bought a $100 voucher from eBay from someone who then did not pay their wholesale account. Apple removed what little was left of the credit on my account (about $40) and then disabled my account. I had to email customer services and get them to reinstate the account (which they did immediately).
I'm now going through paypal to try and get some sort of refund from the seller. My friend's girlfriend lives in the US so I will just get her to buy me vouchers from now on. Better than taking the risk if you ask me...
Ask TUAW: MacBook Pro sleep problems, multiple Firefoxes, Christmas music and more {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 10th 2008 8:17AM Re Xmas Music:
Just uncheck the music. Make sure any iPods etc have have the box ticked to ignore unchecked songs an you are away. I'm away from my mac at the moment but there are also preferences to ignore unchecked songs when shuffling and this will translate to the Party Shuffle mode.
I am never bothered by my Xmas or novelty music using this method...
Adium 1.2, the duck has landed. {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 6th 2008 7:07AM My biggest annoyance with Adium has been that when I delete someone from my list it removes them from Adiums list but not MSN's. I got told my biddy list was full last month when I only had 104 people in it.
I have to go in via the official client and painstakingly delete each unwanted contact one by one (no multiple deletes in the Mac official client).
Such a pain!
Liquid Image intros underwater digital camera mask {Engadget}
Jan 2nd 2008 8:20AM Yahoo i saying it's starting at $100.
Just because this thing is digital doesn't mean it has to be super hi-tech!
Most people use underwater disposables for this type of shooting unless they pan on spending hundreds on a custom waterproof enclosure for their existing camera.
At £50 this is a great little accessory that won't make you cry if it floats off and gets eaten by a shark/whale/tourist
Dell updates to Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, adds DVD playback {Engadget}
Dec 19th 2007 8:52AM Sorry for being dense here but who exactly is buying these? When DVD playback is touted as a feature I have been enjoying for over a decade then I start to wonder.
Do people that buy Linux PCs not buy them for more serious purposes than DVD watching?
If someone can give me their perspective on the use of these it would be appreciated.

T-Mobile to offer Germans unlocked iPhones - at a price {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 21st 2007 8:38AM Okay well the price is no surprise but does this not mean that some enterprising hackers can get the officially unlocked firmware and port it to locked phones everywhere?
I know it is probably harder than it sounds but surely someone will pony up the cash and try.
I for one am getting a bit fed up at the increasingly difficult patching and cracking of my US iphone to use it in the UK on Vodafone.
It's not so much the initial crack, more that if something were to go wrong with the phone and it had to be restored I would have t go through the whole process again.
I shall definitely be getting a contract with iPhone 2...
