iOS 4 gold works with any compatible iPhone / iPod touch via iTunes 9.2, jailbreak also updated
Posted on June 8, 2010 | No Comments
Want to get your hands on an iOS 4-equipped device now without being a registered Apple developer? As a number of readers have pointed out, it seems yesterday's gold build release works on any applicable iPhone / iPod touch whether or not its UDID has been sent to the dev center. Now that the previous restraint has been lifted, the only requirement now is a copy of iTunes 9.2 -- currently for Macs only and still blocked by the developer gate, but once you manage to obtain the appropriate files, the only thing in your path is time itself. Sure enough, we just got through installing the build on an unregistered iPhone without a hitch. Details available via Gumball Tech, and please, don't forget to back up your data ahead of time.
In less rule-abiding news, the not-quite-surgical hand of the jailbreak community has taken a gander at the gold. A developer known as msft.guy, whose previous credentials includes recently-released binary "which enabled blacksn0w unlock port for iPhone 3GS on iOS 4 Beta 4" according to Redmond Pie, has updated PwnageTool for yesterday's update. As always, proceed with that one at your own risk, and if you're curious but hesitant, the ever-reliable iPhone Dev Team promise a full jailbreak / unlock suite later this month. Either way, video proof is available after the break.
Update: Just to clarify, iOS 4 now works with any iPhone / iPod touch that's already been proven compatible -- the trick here is that you now don't need to register with Apple before trying.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]iOS 4 gold works with any compatible iPhone / iPod touch via iTunes 9.2, jailbreak also updated originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:47:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Sony Japan teases “VAIO New Ultra Mobile”
Posted on April 28, 2010 | No Comments
Remember Sony Japan's unusual promotion campaign for an 8-inch netbook (or ultra-mobile PC, as the Japanese like to call these devices) from December 2008? The target group was amused with the campaign. And it appears the marketing coup helped Sony actually sell the Vaio P, as the company today updated its Japanese site with yet another teaser for yet another "mysterious" netbook.

Sony Ericsson Q1 Results Are In, Back In The Black
Posted on April 16, 2010 | No Comments
Sony Ericsson today posted their Q1 results for 2010, and the results are... good!
Despite most analysts predicting a net loss (a recent Reuters poll of analysts showed an average estimated loss of €157m), Sony Ericsson have gone and surprised everyone by turning a €18m profit.
This time last year they posted a €370m loss, and have posted losses for the last 7 quarters. Needless to say, this is a great turn-around for the company.

DECAF, the anti-Microsoft COFEE, now available
Posted on December 15, 2009 | No CommentsYou sorta knew this was going to happen. Microsoft COFEE, a highly secretive forensics tool used by law enforcement, leaked onto the Internet several weeks ago. People far smarter than I got a hold of it, and have created what has been dubbed DECAF, an anti-COFEE set of tools that you can install to block the effects of COFEE.

Posted on November 13, 2009 | No CommentsI’m apprehensive to even post this since I, myself, have an American Express card and will absolutely be fighting against the rest of you barbarians for this very deal, but my commitment to reporting the news is just barely stronger than the urge to get $200 back on a $500 electronics purchase.

For whatever reason, the knives are out for HP
Posted on July 29, 2009 | No CommentsIt looks like the cool thing to do now is bash HP over its environmental record. Yesterday's Greepeace action was a huge story for several minutes, drawing attention, apparently, to the company's rubbish record with respect to various chemicals in its products. And today The Register has photos of shipping containers, used to ship things.

Paparazzi beware! Flash purse stalks the stalkers
Posted on July 2, 2009 | No CommentsThis crazy purse concept is essentially an LED flash built-into a clutch purse. When it senses a flash it will send out a brighter flash to blind the camera - and, presumably, the cameraman - and prevent the picture from coming out. The result? A ghostly halo around the subject but no facial features. Although [...] -
