Shiny new toy!
My fancy new MacBook Pro is sitting on my desk (in it’s box). i must finish a few things before i get to play. This may be the single greatest example of self control EVER demonstrated.
iPhone iPod and iPad update coming.
perhaps sooner then we thought. Gizmodo got a invite to a iPhone 4.0 sneak peak on April 8th. i’d recommend that everyone back up their shsh blobs! iPad and other users don’t even have to jailbreak. Umbrella lets you do it without modifying your devise.
iPad users will only have to wait a little longer. @Musclenerd, @comex, and others have demonstrated root code execution on the iPad, so a jailbreak could be released any day. Fortunately we won’t have to wait much longer, as a release is expected shortly following the anticipated 4.0 release.
i touched an iPad and it touched me.
i was amazed at how quickly i took to it’s keyboard. after a few bubbled words. . . i was flying.
now i really want one. let see how fast we get a jailbreak.
Where art thou Macbook Pro?
@9to5mac points out that apple’s longes streak without an upgrade was 266 days. This will be broken Tuesday.
Back in Motion!
With a simple request for some titles, i’ve finally delved into apple’s latest motion 4. Amazingly easy and powerful, i had great usable elements even faster then last time. i can’t wait to start playing with some fancier options like motion tracking. for now i’m just toying with ideas for final cut elements i can recycle into silly animations. maybe i’ll make something worth posting.
iPhone OS 3.1.3 Released!
Jailbrakers and unlockers DO NOT RUN! Apple released iTunes and iPhone update today. iTunes is safe, but @westbaer points out that iPhone 3.1.3 closes the usb_control_msg exploit, used by blackra1n. It also looks like it’s just bug fixes and perhaps prep for the new ipad. Nothing I can’t wait for. I hope any 3gs or touch 3g owners have their shsh blobs saved through cydia or umbrella.
UPDATE: for original (2g) iPhone users can use the latest Redsn0w to update your phone to 3.1.3. you must feed it the 3.1.2 ipsw.
UPDATE 2: new pwnage tool or sn0wbreeze to break 3.1.3 on all but the newest devices (new bootrom 3gs and touch 3g), but it’s a pain and not worth it with 3.2 just weeks away.
A Tinkerer’s Sunset
This article describes an upbringing with computers that in addition to being quite similar to my own almost certainly will ring true with many readers. It talks of apple’s beginnings. In those days in order to make anything your own you had to tinker. Many computers at the start shipped not only with a basic interpreter in place of an operating system, but with schematics as well. Unfortunately for some, times have changed. If modern apple continues on the path they have clearly laid it means an end to the tinkerers lifestyle.
When DVD Jon was arrested after breaking the CSS encryption algorithm, he was charged with “unauthorized computer trespassing.” That led his lawyers to ask the obvious question, “On whose computer did he trespass?” The prosecutor’s answer: “his own.”
Apple is trying to do the same with their touch devices. iPhone, iPod Touch, and the new iPad require serious hacking before any tinkering can be done. If apple has their way, they will have jailbreaking void more then just your warranty and your service contract. You’ve come a long way from your hacker roots Apple. Your design is amazing, but PLEASE remember your pledge with OS X to be “Open for Business.” From what i have seen, apple is no more open then they are required to be by all the licences they themselves are using.

iPad is out!
Though I have to admit I am a tad underwhelmed. Sad that they choose to stick with at$t, but I will admit that the $500 price tag is appealing. Right now this devise seems to be set to replace my iPod not my laptop. I think I will wait for the new MacBook pros. I will continue to watch the iPad with interest. I’m sure things will change seriously with new software! I wonder when it will run more then one app at a time. Either by apple’s doing or others.
24 hours!
Until apple announces something sparkly and cool!
