Ipod Nano Hacked

Just the other day I got my Ipod nano and my wife's also.  Engraved and ready to use, BUT, it remains sealed until now because the reason we actually got it was to use it with this (from www.lunatik.com)

We Pre-ordered it from the owner's Kickstarter Project and can't wait to get it.  Personally I will use this nano as a watch, mainly as a watch but I wouldn't mind having some apps installed like a calculator or currency converter, alarm, stop watch, chronograph face theme or maybe even a multi-country clock or something.. there are just so many possibilities. Maybe even a small game of "Snake" like the one's you see on Nokia Phones.

Well here is some good news, look's like my wish has be heard and will be granted very very soon!

Some progress on hacking the new iPod nano has finally been made by developer James Whelton who has done a basic springboard hack, figured out how to bypass the cache comparison and uncovered some interesting information.

The springboard hack is just the removal of a app and creation of a blank space. Not that amazing, but whats important is the bypass of Nano’s cache comparison, which compares any modded SB file and reverts it if it doesn’t like it, this opens up the possibility of hacking and modding, while not adding bootloaders or any of that fun stuff.

Next is the discovery in some of the device’s plists of reference to support of Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Games, vCards, Calender events and so on, with a few other cool things like a passcode lock. With the bypass I figured out, I hope to enable these pretty soon. It seems like the OS is a rehashed version of the previous Nano’s OS.

Whelton is hoping to get a bootloader on the device to expand its functionality. You can follow or get involved in the new touch Nano hacking process at http://nanohack.me

The Official Asus Press Release on the NEW HD6900 Series Graphics Card

ASUS Launches New HD6900 Series Graphics Cards

Featuring the most powerful AMD graphics processing technology developed to date for PC gaming enthusiasts and power users

Manila, Philippines — New ASUS HD6970 and HD6950 graphics cards field the latest graphics cores from AMD, dubbed “Cayman”. These are super-powered GPUs custom-made to enable DirectX® 11 and Windows® 7-optimized gaming in resolutions above 1920 x 1200 with all advanced features turned on in-game and with impressive frame rates. Offering an irresistible combination of design and performance to power users and PC gaming enthusiasts, ASUS improves on the reference design with factory overclocking out of the box for superior performance. The new cards further use exclusive ASUS overvolting interface Voltage Tweak for 50%* faster clock speeds. ASUS has also implemented more heat-efficient materials in construction, contributing to better cooling and therefore enhanced output tolerances.

Product highlights

• The ASUS HD6970 “Cayman XT” gets its core set to 890MHz and video memory to a massive 5.5GHz at the factory, while the ASUS HD6950 “Cayman PRO” arrives factory-overclocked to 810MHz on the core and 5GHz on the video memory. Tested and verified stable, these overclocks give users all the benefits of faster performance — such as extra frames per second and no slow-down even during intense action sequences in games —

while never compromising product reliability and longevity.

• ASUS exclusive and popular overvolting interface Voltage Tweak is incorporated in both the HD6970 and HD6950. Gamers and hardcore tuners can boost clocks by 50%* with proper cooling support. This is a phenomenal increase, and one that is sure to come in handy for competitive overclockers and those truly dedicated to pixel-perfect PC gaming.

• Going beyond the reference design, ASUS has once again swapped the stock plastic shroud for an all-aluminum cover that’s far more heat efficient. This creates better cooling on both the HD6970 and HD6950, dissipating surface heat more evenly and rapidly than the reference design. Less heat immediately translates into greater stability, better performance, longer product lifespan and increased overclocking potential.

• The ASUS HD6970 and HD6950 come with innovative features from AMD, including Eyefinity, HD3D and EyeSpeed technologies.

- AMD Eyefinity technology comes standard on both models, enabling the connection of up to six** displays to a single graphics card. This results in huge viewing real estate, offering an ideal platform for immersive gaming and expanded productivity.

- AMD HD3D technology creates new exciting possibilities with 3D visuals in PC games, movies, video content and even photos. The power of these new cards means the 3D effect renders in sharp detail and with no lag.

- AMD EyeSpeed accelerates video playback for a more enjoyable high definition experience. Content from Blu-ray to online videos runs unhampered in full resolution and detail.

5 New Features on Ipad 2!

A Chinese-language Economy Daily News (EDN) report citing industry sources claims Apple will add five new features to the iPad 2: video phone, better mobility, USB port, new display technology and 3-axis gyroscopes.

The video-phone feature (probably FaceTime) is expected to benefit Apple iPad's webcam suppliers, while iPad 2 may adopt smaller size panels featuring thinner glass. The USB feature will allow the device to be more connection friendly, while Apple's "Retina Display" technology will enhance image and color output performance. The 3-axis gyroscopes will enhance gaming, added the paper.

Light Peak, The New Connection Interface from APPLE and INTEL = 10GBPS

Well, I am sure a lot of people already know about this but today is the first time I have read about it.

This is amazing. Imagine 10GBPS. One universal port for all your connections.

-------------

Light Peak, a 10 Gbps optical interface for peripherals developed by Apple and Intel, could appear in Macs earlier than previously expected.

According to CNet:

Light Peak is now on track to appear in products in the first half of 2011–and likely earlier in the year than later, according to an industry source familiar with the progress of the technology. Light Peak is significantly faster than even USB 3.0, carrying data at 10 gigabits per second in both directions simultaneously.

Light Peak will enable users to connect a variety of devices into a single Light Peak port and has the potential to replace almost all the ports on your computer, including networking, video out, and general connectivity. Translation: Ethernet, MiniDisplay Port, USB and FireWire. Apple reportedly developed the interoperable technology in 2007 and brought it to Intel to create.

Light Peak is sexy because it’s based on fiber optic technology that is capable of transferring data at 10 Gbps — dramatically faster than all of the current interconnect standards, including USB 3.

* 400 Mbps - FireWire
* 800 Mbps - FireWire 800
* 480 Mbps - USB 2.0
* 3.2 Gbps - USB 3.0

At 10 Gbps you could transfer a full-length Blu-Ray movie in less than 30 seconds. According to Intel, Light Peak can scale to 10 0Gbps over the next decade and has a number of other benefits.

With Apple skipping over USB 3.0 in the latest batch of MacBook Pros and iMacs, it seems like Cupertino may be putting all of its eggs into the Light Peak basket. If this most recent report pans out you can probably expect to see Light Peak ports beginnin

How to Share your Windows Desktop's optical drive with your Macbook AIR

Well, I came across this issue because I wanted to try to install my Starcraft 2 game on my Macbook Air to see how it plays on a MAC.  I called up Richard Lee of ICenter Cebu and he introduced me to this idea of sharing my Windows PC's optical drive to my Macbook Air.

You need to install a file on your PC.  Richard told me that this is on the DVD that came with my Air, problem was, it didn't come with a DVD, only a USB reinstall Stick. 

Quickly googled it and I found it.  It is actually very simple.

1.) Download and install this file from the apple site and install it on your Windows PC.
2.) Go to Windows Control Panel and look for "DVD or CD Sharing Options"
3.) Enable it.

Thats it! Now, any disc you put on those drives can be access through the MAC Laptop via your "Macintosh HD/Finder" where you will see your PC's name under the REMOTE DISC Device.

Currently installing Starcaft II now.

Who need's an external Optical Drive? :-)

Enjoy!! :-)

Music Dissappears when you upgrade your iphone to OS 4.2.1- Solution!

 
If your music has disappeared after updating to iOS 4.2.1, there is an easy fix.

Users in the Apple Discussion forums have found that if you plug your iPhone into the computer, open iTunes and play a song from on your device, then sync, the music will magically reappear.

Give it a try!

Source: Tech Crunch

Iphone Users: Read this if you plan to upgrade to IOS 4.2.1 and want to Jailbreak or UNLOCK.

 

It seems that Apple has decided to put a baseband requirement on iOS. So at this point, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery. In this case, you will have to restore 4.1 again or you will have to restore 4.2.1 stock and be tether jailbroken. (Of course, I recommend 4.1 and not bothering with 4.2.1 at all). If you are an unlocker, this is a no brainer. Do not update to 4.2.1 even to test it at this point.

Griffin SLAP wristband watch for IPAD nano 6th GEN!!!

 


Yeah!! Finally. It is Out!!!! I will most likely get one for Christmas!

It's metal (slap!). It's silicone (slap!). It's metal and it's silicone...

Remember the slap bracelet? Remember how much fun it was? We've brought it back.
We've wrapped a memory-metal wristband with soft silky silicone. Slap's flexible, spring-steel band lies flat and rigid until you slap! it onto your arm. Snap Slap open, then snap Slap shut around your wrist. (Say that 10 times real fast.) The Slap band self-adjusts to a comfortable fit, exactly your size.
For your iPod, we've equipped Slap with a generous frame of silicone that holds your iPod securely and shrugs off bumps and jolts. Slap protects the dock connector and volume controls but leaves the headphone port open so you can plug in and listen any time. Speaking of time, you can press the Sleep/Wake button through the frame to check the time or control iTunes. The watch face display of your iPod nano turns Slap into a fun, handy classic timepiece.
Your iPod nano plus our Slap wristband case — together they create the most useful and entertaining wristwatch your arm has ever seen.

Features

• Flexible spring-steel band wrapped in soft silicone snaps securely around your wrist to keep your iPod nano close at hand
• Thick silicone frame protects your Multi-Touch display, volume controls and dock connector
• Frame covers the volume and sleep/wake buttons with protective silicone but still allows touch-through control of your iPod nano

Techisland has been shooting for awhile, a lot of stumbling blocks, but it is coming out very soon!! Watch out for it on RCTV channel 36 :)

My wife's Super Bling IPhone 4

I swear this is the most "blinged" iPhone 4 I have seen as of moment. The case was bought from amazon. I was hesitant at first to allow her to buy this case since I already bought her a Seidio Active purple Case but she insisted, and with a 8 month old baby inside her, you just can't say no lol!!! Yes, we ordered this for her about month ago, And I even ordered the Seidio one around 2 months ago even before we knew she would get an iPhone 4 lol!!!

Anyway, no regrets, she loves it. She has my switcheasy screen protector on which came with my Case while I have a Seidio screenie on mine. Both screen protectors are very similar, they allow the IPhone 4's retina display to shine while still preventing fingerprint marks and of course, the screen from getting scratched.

Can't wait to do facetime with her tomorrow when I am at the office and she is at home taking care of our newborn :)

Goodbye blackberry, her first words when she got the package.. Hehehe

Till next time! Bling on!

Photomarkr iphone Application

GeoTagged, [N10.30942, W123.89196]

I just bought photomarkr and I love the app!! Being an amateur photographer myself, I always wanted to watermark my photos taken from the IPhone and here is an App that allows you to do just so.

it's one of those apps that make you say, "why didn't I buy you the first time I got my IPhone"

Now I have some photos that I took from
The Ip4 and have watermarked already, problem is I am posting this from the my blogger app on the IPhone Which only allows for a single photo upload so I will
Upload those pictures later.

The application allows you to adjust transparency and the size and orientation of the watermark. It even supports logo watermarks too!

Let me take this time to give a shout out to my newborn baby girl Serah. She is in one of my sample photos.

Seriously, if you are a photographer, buy the app!

Green poison jailbreak is out!

For those asking if they should re-jailbreak their iPhones which were jailbroken with Geohots limera1n the answer is No. To what I understand, green poison is now using the same exploit as geohot so they can save the one they were about to use for later. meaning, if apple somehow finds a way to patch this JB, they will
Immediately have something to release.

To those who have not Jailbroken with Limera1n, you may take your pick on which one you want to use!

Iphone/itouch Blueooth Photo sharing

GeoTagged, [N10.30944, W123.88329]

I stumbled upon this not so new app called "bluetooth photo share" which allows you to share your photos and contacts with other idevices such as the itouch or ipad via Bluetooth connection. It also doesn't compress the photos when you send it to another device! What's great about it is it is free and available through the AppStore! No jailbreak needed. You may not be able to transfer music yet but hey, this is a giant leap from not being able to send anything at all.

Both devices have to have his software installed. Again, it's FREE!!!

Only gripe is that this works only from idevice to idevice and not with other Bluetooth phones yet.

Enjoy!

Iphone Yahoo Messenger App now supports VIDEO CALLING! [UPDATED]

Frankly, I don't know what took them so long.  I think yahoo messenger is the most widely used Chatting application in the Philippines.  I have yet to test this feature but just the idea of it sounds very good to me already.

It will allow me to do "facetime" with friends who don't have Iphone 4's but do have PCs at home/office.

I will update this thread once I have put it do the test!

Read More Here.

UPDATE:

I tested it already and here are the results:
Iphone 4 to PC both connected to the same network- FAIL
     It got connected but no VIDEO came our on both sides.
Iphone 4 to an Itouch 4th gen- FAIL
     It got connected, no video on both sides and I could here the person I called but he couldnt hear me.

I guess Yahoo still has a lot to work on.

So far facetime not only works, it's the best video calling application out there.

Mario brothers Spotted @ Ayala Center Cebu

Multitap key layout on IPhone 4

After I launched angry birds for the first time on my freshly upgraded and Jailbroken iPhone 4 os 4.1, Game center immediately asked me for my credentials, surprisingly, it used a Multitap keypad layout and no, it's not the Japanese keypad. I hope someone from cydia can hack this and actually make a Multitap keypad to replace the iPhones keyboard. I still know a lot of people who love the iPhone but haven't bought 1 just because of the keyboard.

Here's to hoping! :)

What do I do before and after I jailbreak.

 
Ok just got back home from a busy Sunday morning.

Time to Jailbreak.

Before I do, I just wanted to share my Pre JB and Post JB processes.

Of course these list was made based on the applications that I used most like appigo and SPB wallet so not everything applies to you, but you may change it to the apps that you use.

It will really make me sound like a nerd, but hey, I won't deny it, I am a Nerd and proud of it!

Hope these help someone.

Enjoy!

Limera1n is out, time to Jailbreak

Hey guys, finally Limera1n is out, it ain't no green poison which I think will not be released anymore or rather temporarily postponed as of yet because of limera1n. I could be wrong. We shall see.

Remember if you want unlock, don't do this JB, you won't br able to unlock the new bootrom yet.

Unfortunately it is not as easy as "www.jailbreakme.com" the reason being it is an unpatchable jailbreak, meaning it will be a long time before apple can get this fix.

Visit www.limera1n.com

Update:

Here all the instructions on how to Jailbreak your iPhone using limera1n :)

Geohot is back with LimeRa1n to JB your Iphone!

 

He wowed us with Blackra1n, the first simplest JB released and now, out of nowhere, he announces Limera1n.

Now, the nice thing about this JB is it is applicable to more platforms than the upcoming greenpoison.  So this will work with the Iphone 4,3GS,3G and the Ipad.  He is hoping to release it also on 10/10/10/
Musclenerd however expresses his disappointment on the release because apple will now know about two holes which they will strive hard to patch. Meaning, if Geohot hasn't been so secretive, they would have been able to work together and schedule the releases.

Oh well, what matter's to a lot of people is that it is out.  The long wait is over.

Tech Tip for Iphone 4 FB Video uploading

Recently I have been uploading a lot of videos taking from my Iphone 4 on FB via the facebook iphone ap.

They look terrible on FB! I have just discovered another way to do it to make the videos look better, although there are some downsides like, you will not have a copy of the video saved on your Iphone library. Your only copy of the video will be on Facebook.


The Right way to do it.

1.) Launch the FB ap.
2.) Go to Profile
3.) Click on the "Camera Icon" as you see on the photo above.
4.) Select "Take Photo or Video" This launches the camera ap.
5.) Make sure to switch to Video Mode, shoot your video.
6.) Upload!


But if you really need to upload a video form your library, Do it through your PC.
1.) Record your video through the Camera Ap
2.) Connect your Iphone 4 to your PC and import the video (Ask me how if you don't know)
3.) Upload it Manually to FB

Again, the problem occurs when you upload a video from the Iphone FB ap using the "Choose From Library" Option, it compresses the file too much.

Hope this helps, post your comments and questions!

The Apple Peel 520 requires a Jailbroken iPod Touch 1st, 2nd or 3rd to make the SMS and Call app work. Any firmware above 3.0 is supported. The iPod Touch 4th generation is not yet supported since there is no Jailbreak for iOS 4.1 available at the moment. It will be very likely that the iPod Touch 4th generation will be supported as soon as iOS 4.1 gets Jailbroken.

Oh, off course you will also need a working SIM card"

The Good news is, they will have it also for the Itouch 4thgen once the JB is out!

Frankly, I think apply should be thankful, this will boost the price of their Ipod touch devices and I am sure this will not affect the current sales of the Iphone 4 because the peel will allow Apple to cater to a lower market segment.

Folders within Folders, enables Multilevel folder system for Iphone/itouch

I think this ap will be very useful, more useful than that of being able to place unlimited icons in a folder, I think that just gets too confusing.

A good example of putting this to good use would be to have A games folder, and under that you will have different categories like Action Games, Arcade Games, Puzzle Games etc..

Yes, some people are just that OC and they do have that many apps.

I am one of these people, so I am considering on getting this soon. In the meantime I have put my purchases on hold until I solve my Plants Vs Zombies issue (my original PVZ aint working right now)

For more info about this new cool ap, check this video out:

Facebook secretly making it's own phone

Low an Behold, the truth shall set us free :)
