Just upgraded successfully from 1.1.1 to 1.1.3 using this tutorial. Modified steps I used: sync to backup your stuff download and restore to 1.1.3 using the Option Restore method in the tutorial after about 10 minutes or so, you are at iTunes saying your SIM isn’t valid. Tutorial says to start the command line steps,…
I’ve been looking for a better way to use my HDTV lately. The Xbox360 (and XBox 1 running XBMC) I currently have works fine but the biggest issue I have with it, when watching any kind of media is how loud it is. Specifically the fan(s) inside it and the (now obsolete) HDDVD drive. It’s…
It’s not for the faint of heart, but there is now a method to take a new, 1.1.3 out of the box iPhone (including the new 16gb models) and unlock it via software. Technically you have to jailbreak, downgrade, unlock, upgrade, and jailbreak but it appears to now be possible. The credit goes to George…
My SuperDrive finally arrived….three days behind the MBA and of course it was delivered just as I was boarding a flight to Victoria for a conference. As you can see from the photos, it’s really small and thin but what you can’t see is that it’s actually about as tall as the MacBook Air. It’s…
As in I’ve had it for 12 hours….not a 12 hour long review….although there are a lot of pictures. Obviously I haven’t had it long enough to really put it through it’s paces but here’s a bunch of photos and a few thoughts. As with all Apple products, the packaging alone is a fantastic customer…

This could have been my video….thanks FedEx! Damn you and your slow boat plane to from China. Update: Looks like he’s disabled embedding of the video. Here’s a direct link.
Impatiently waiting for this thing to arrive. At least it’s been shipped a few days ahead of schedule…although I appear to have missed the cutoff but is expected (by Apple) to be delivered on Monday, Feb 4th. I must be looking forward to that ‘new Apple product’ smell you get when you open the package….I…
UPDATE: This post is now obsolete – see this one for the simple, easy method. I haven’t tried it yet but the iPhone forums seem to be abuzz with people successfully upgrading their iPhones to the latest firmware (1.1.3) and software unlocks still working. Thanks to Nate True, there is a software jailbreak method now…
The internets are all abuzz with news (and video proof) that the latest firmware for the iPhone (and Touch as seen in the video) has been jailbroken…but the method hasn’t been released yet. Nor will it until after the forthcoming software developers kit (SDK for those in the know) is released in late February from…
