YellowSn0w is out and it’s ready to rock. Here’s how to become SIM-independent. 1. First, download quickpwn and jailbreak your phone. Use the latest firmware to pwn your phone (download it from Apple here). This will allow you to install Cydia or Installer.

YellowSn0w is out and it’s ready to rock. Here’s how to become SIM-independent.

NB: Install the latest 2.2 firmware before beginning this process.

1. First, download quickpwn and jailbreak your phone.

Pick your device. We want the iP3G, obviously.

2. Use the latest firmware to pwn your phone (download it from Apple here). This will allow you to install Cydia or Installer. If you just updated your phone or updated your phone on the personal you are running quickpwn on, you probably won’t have to download the firmware.

Rebuilding the IPSW

Sending the firmware

2. Then, add the repositories (DO NOT ENTER THESE URLs INTO YOUR BROWSER per Dev Team’s instructions).
For Cydia enter: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/
For Installer enter: http://i.yellowsn0w.com/

3. Install yellowsn0w. Run it.

4. Turn off the iPhone and install your third party SIM.
NB: f you’re in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings.

5. Turn on the phone. Wait until your carrier pops up. If it doesn’t, take the SIM out and reinstall it.

Note: This is all in beta and there is no guarantee of success. You’ll have to jailbreak your phone for this to work, as well. All of the sources above are lagging like crazy right now so wait a few hours before you start. I’m following these steps as we talk and will post screenshots shortly.

UPDATE - I haven’t been able to get it to work on two iPhone 3Gs, both with fresh 2.2 firmware and baseband. I’ve heard plenty of people HAVE had luck, however, so it seems to be an either/or thing. I suspect some cells aren’t accepting the iPhones as valid equipment.

Don’t think that this is a clone fight, but no its not, I’m just trying to test which Ronald McDonald character is the best the low res or the hi res. Ronald McDonald is the low res and Donald is the hi res, remember this is an AI test match, k. ____________________________________ ____________________________________ stage: KOF 97: Japan stage bg music: Inspector Gadget theme (techno…

Image courtesy of Nataliedee I just saw this infomercial so forgive me if you’ve already seen it but I immediately thought of my days living in the dorms as a freshman. My roommate Justin and I would conjure up various ways to keep in our dope smoke without alerting the RA of our nefarious ways. Maybe it’s the booze speaking but I thought I’d share.

For $20 you can get two Twin Draft Guards and a bonus over the door hook. That’s a $30 value, but you only pay 20 bucks!

Happy New Year!

Into e-books? Me too. I’m just not overly fond of how they charge almost the same price for the paper version as they do the electronic version. Here’s something interesting from eReader.com though: they’re giving away nine titles for free.

These should work on any reader, including the iPhone. There’s some software to download to use them with some readers though. The good news is, these aren’t crappy, unknown authors either. There’s some top shelf stuff here. The only catch that I could find is that you’ve to use a credit card to get your free titles. The offer is good through December 31st, so move swiftly if you are interested.

I was also fortunate enough to receive yet another HD Camcorder except this isn’t really what you would call a “Gadget” (comparing to my Kodak Zi6). I select this camera confidently knowing that they’re actually in partnership with Kodak and that its from Germany. The Praktica Camcorder is an astounding deal! You can take 5 Mega Pixel Stills, Record Video at up to 720p High Definition and…

Need 20 “Will it Blend?” episodes? Have $1.99? Then the great god Odin is smiling upon you this day for Tom Dickson of Blendtec has an app for you.

Blendtec’s decision to blend stuff that should be blended is a marketing coup. Consider it: have you ever heard of Blendtec? Nope. Then they started doing videos of them blending stuff and the rest is history. I never much followed this meme but there’s no shame in loving you some controlled destruction.

The latest unreleased firmware for the Blackberry Storm (aka le lump of poo) has leaked is now available over at CrackBerry forums.

The latest unreleased firmware for the Blackberry Storm (aka le lump of poo) has leaked is now available over at CrackBerry forums.

The results, so far, seem promising. I’ll install it tonight, if I can, and report back. The improvements seem manifold. To wit:

Some bugs have been fixed, the accelerometer action is definitely quicker and typing feels a bit more responsive. You’ll want to jump into our Storm OS forum for all of the details and findings surrounding this release. My view? This is what the Storm should have launched with.Definitely worth an install if you’re a 9530 Storm owner.

I have no idea what this movie is all about but it looks pretty damn cool and anything Tim Burton is involved with usually gets two thumbs up from me. Not that I’m a motion picture critic or that CG is a motion picture blog. Just saying I like what he does. Looks like 9 won’t be released until 9.9.09, which is fitting but a shame we’ll have to wait that long for it.
