Jailbreak 5.0.1 Semi-Tether The Easy Way with Ac1dSn0w

The phone itself seemed to be sluggish while on 4.3, I did notice that iOS 5.0 improved graphics experience and motion sense when I upgraded my 3Gs from 4.2.1 to 5.0 a few months ago. The jailbreak process is so simple, that I was able to jailbreak while I was waiting for a IPSW file to be downloaded.

iPhone 4s Otterbox Commuter Series Case Extended Review!

It may have come to your attention that iPhone 4's (Not iPhone 4s, regular iPhone 4) prices has dropped ever since the upcoming and after the release of the newest iPhone 4s.

And so the world lost an inspirational figure and friend: Steve Jobs

October 5th, 2011 is truly a date to remember. While sitting at class, and looking at Twitter notifications about the happened event, astonishment filled the room and everything felt cold at that right moment. Steve was a visionary man, an inventor, an engineer, a successful leader, and a friend for everyone.

He along with other Apple employees, provided products that changed life in the past 10 years. But the innovation behind those products was given by one man: Steve. We remember him as a successful man.

During the release of iPhone 4s, everyone noticed Apple's events favorite icon. He during the last event in March surprised everyone, specially after he announced himself in a delicate health condition. He looked fine though, except all the event he seemed happy to be there, while in a hurry to finish.

Apple computers are not only good piece of hardware or software, they have provided something different to people. An editor from Gizmodo says "Bill Gates may have put a computer in every office desk, but it was Steve Jobs who put one in every dorm room, and bedroom and living room".

That's true. 10 years ago I wouldn't afford getting a Mac computer. They were good, but there were too many things required, special software, additional pieces of hardware, and back then, no floppy. I remember myself walking outside of Best Buy in Westminster, CA. I said something like, "who would buy an Apple computer without a memory stick slot?". That portable died about 13 months from that moment.

I own a black Macbook. I've had it for 4 years now, and it's amazing. It's thinner than any other PC's in the market. It works pretty good and I never get bored of the same thing. That's because everything in a Mac is just as simple as good, and that gives fun to what you do.

The first Apple product I got, was a 30 GB White iPod (Video) 1st Generation. I couldn't stand to the idea that the product was so perfectly designed and how it used to work. I fell in love with it.

Years later, I decided to migrate from Windows to Mac. I've been impressed of recent Windows updates to its operating system, specially when Windows 7 got released. But there was nothing compared to Mac OS.

Steve had the idea of people loving their products based on one thing: They work. People before iPod, they were far away from Apple products. People after iPod, and before Mac, they were far away ignorant from PC's. People before iPad, were far away from technology.

One fact that no one can say the opposite, the first iPhone was years ahead of its competitors. It started as an expensive product. People back then who used to purchase a cellphone over that expensive, were only those executives who required internet and Windows access everywhere.

After the iPhone, all smart phones transformed into something new. Something attempting to imitate iPhone's unique design. Touch screen was far behind before the first iPhone. No one up to date has achieved a similar technology to the patented Multi-Touch Apple developed since the first iPhone.

The person who motivated me to do what I am now, was Steve Jobs. During an interview back in 2005 with him and Bill Gates, he said the most important thing that changed the way I pictured my life back then. He said something similar to "We have achieved who we are, because we have grown doing what we love. If you're doing wrong, you're still doing what you love, that's the key of our success". Both Bill and Steve agreed to that statement.

Steve was a mentor, for all the world. I read online that he was the last american knowing what he was doing...

We all will miss Steve, not because of his fame, but of the spirit he shared. I wish I could say it was not his' time, but that's not for us to decide.

Farewell Steve... We'll meet again.

Call Fails When Dialing Out on iPhone 2G, iOS 3.x.x. Calls Are Received

Apologies from Site's Administration. Editors Wanted!

I would like to apologize for the lack of information iDevel0p has been through recently, if not that at all time. The project initially started as an informative blog which should be updated at least twice a day. However, I've been busy with school projects and other stuff, that I haven't even tested stuff out to post it here.

Please be aware I'm looking forward on getting a little extra support, from other editors interested on blogging this site. What advantage could they get different from getting their own blog? They'll be part of a community which will at certain point be shared equally as a partnership project.

Of course there's no pay on this, but if you're up to a little fame and interested on sharing thoughts, you're more than welcome to message me via Twitter @ViNnyb0ii and we'll go through the process if you are selected.

Apologies again for not taking care of this blog...

To All 3Gs Users! Why Would You Get an iPhone 4? Why Not?

Here's a little something about what I think and what I have answered those asking "Why a blog manager isn't getting an iPhone 4?". I have indeed tested iPhone 4's since its release date, but I haven't seen so much of an attraction to spend twice my 3Gs into a cellphone that won't satisfy my needs, more than my current 3Gs.

iOS 4.3.1. on iPhone 3Gs

I tested during the whole day the functionality of iOS 4.3.1 in my iPhone 3Gs. However, I noticed at certain point that there was a notable lagging when opening applications. It reminded me of my old iPhone 3G running on 4.2.1. I also have a memory manager, which stated that memory was reduced by almost half of what it had before the upgrade. As of right now, I rather have functionality than just a few more features I don't need to be honest. If you had issues with this, I'd recommend downgrading at least until a new and better update is released.

HeyWire No Longer Lets You Connect Unless Running 2.1.288

Potential GPS Fix on iPhone 3Gs Running iPad Baseband and 4.2.1.

I've been researching throughout this issue. One of the coolest features I basically fell in love with my previous iPhone 3G, is the fact that I could use GPS without having a data plan, or a WiFi network available. However, due to the limitations while unlocking a 3Gs using an iPad baseband (6.15.00), the GPS seemed to be affected, and push notifications as well. There might be a solution for this though...

How to View Old Facebook Pictures Albums Format

If you have ever wondered, what happens to be on every Facebook's developers mind before launching a site update, I would suggest: change.

George Hotz Interview

Here's a recent update on Geohot's interview, concerning Sony's sue against him for the PS3 jailbreak. Here's what is found on YouTube:

Hacker Geohot Sued by Sony

A web source just published that Geohot (a.k.a. George Hotz), and the fail0verflow team have been sued by Sony over the Play Station 3 jailbreak, and making it public.


An excerpt from the lawsuit reads:

Defendants George Hotz, “Bushing,” Hector Cantero, Sven Peter and “Segher”

(collectively, “Defendants”) are computer hackers. Working individually and in concert with one another, Defendants recently bypassed effective technological protection measures (“TPMs”) employed by plaintiff Sony Computer Entertainment America LLP (“SCEA”) in its proprietary PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system (“PS3 System”).  Through the Internet, Defendants are distributing software, tools and instructions (collectively, “Circumvention Devices”) that circumvent the TPMs in the PS3 System and facilitate the counterfeiting of video games.  Already, pirated video games are being packaged and distributed with these circumvention devices.  Declaration of Ryan T. Bricker In Support of Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order And Order To Show Cause Re Preliminary Injunction; Order for Impoundment (“Bricker Decl.”) ¶2, Exh. A.  Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 and Local Rules 65-1 and 7-10, SCEA moves ex parte to put an immediate halt to the ongoing distribution of these illegal Circumvention Devices and avoid

irreparable harm to SCEA and to other video game software developers stemming from video game piracy.

iPhone jailbreaks and unlocks are considered legal per the United States government, as long as they're not used for piracy. If we're to support developers, I'd say Sony is wasting their time suing instead of learning from their mistakes.

I personally believe Sony will not succeed over PS3 jailbreaks, once it's done, it can't be stopped. 

Thanks, Redmond Pie

The Social Network Movie (2010)

After spending time watching Zuckerberg's life movie, I figured out that the story is nothing different from what Bill Gate's history movie is. If you once watched Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999), it's a film relating the beginnings of Apple, Inc. and Microsoft.
