If you believe this video:
and the blog post related to it, it appears that a hardware unlock solution has been discovered.
Apparently it requires some complex soldering but they also claim that a software unlock will be forthcoming “in less time than it takes to ship a Turbo SIM”.
Exciting stuff if it’s true!
My recent trip to Whistler was filled with good times including getting to be on hand for the 2010 FIBT World Cup bobsleigh and skeleton events at the Whistler Sliding Centre. I never had a chance to visit the Sliding Centre during the Olympics (I couldn’t be everywhere at once!) so it was especially cool…
Recently, I booked a last minute trip to Northern California for a week. Whenever I travel, I always struggle with what I will want to have on hand while away. I try to travel as light as possible, whenever possible. For this trip, I decided that I was going to start by leaving my laptop…
I shot this video awhile ago and never posted it here for some reason. Shot at night with my 10.5mm fisheye lens on the Nikon D90 from the backseat of a Mini Cooper S while driving from downtown Vancouver to the north shore.
A few weeks ago, while I was setting up my stuff at the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire, Matthew approached me and asked if could interview me about being a maker. It turned out he was making a video series about makers asking all of us the same set of five questions. Every week, he’s posting the answers to those questions.
I spent a great weekend in Squamish recently for their annual music festival. I was shooting for Rebecca and she has a couple of posts with my photos from the event. You can also view my entire set on Flickr. I started playing around with Toon Paint again on my iPhone to give some of…

I don’t buy it.
First of all, anyone can make that upper-left thing say anything. iFuntastic lets you make it say “Pwned” if you want it to.
Second, a buddy could have called his home phone at the right moment.
Third, if it was legit, they would have shown us HOW they did it. This whole “Wait a week” sounds like hype and a way to drive up traffic.
Finally, and most importantly, nobody with hair like that can be trusted.
:)
Haha….I think it’s because of the hair that it’s legit….that and the T-Mobile sim did it for me.
But I’ll believe it when it’s happening on my iPhone after I’ve either seen the guy doing it for me show me his working iPhone (ideally letting me put my sim in it to test) or the software unlock is available in which case I’ll gladly try it (after all that’s what the restore button is for in iTunes).
It’s always funny that when someone is trying to prove something is ‘real’ in a video, they manage to fumble the camera just enough to basically cast doubt on it. Buy a damn tripod!
We’ll soon see in a week. But there’s no chance of me soldering my iphone, i used to solder chips to PS2’s & it took me about 6 of them to get it right!
