How to: Restore your iPhone from a jailbreak

How to: Restore your iPhone from a jailbreak

As with my ‘tips’ on doing the actual jailbreak in the first place, this process should be done at your own risk.  I cannot be responsible for anything YOU do to YOUR phone. (This process also works to restore settings to last backup, for non-jailbroken iPhones) 1 – Connect your iPhone into your computer and open [...]

Jailbreak your iPhone

Jailbreak your iPhone

[Updated for iOS 4.3.3!] – Please read whole page BEFORE doing anything to your phone. I have finally used Redsn0w to jailbreak my iPhone 4! I figured since this is my second iPhone I’d give it a go just to see what all the hype was about.  Despite people saying that if I keep a [...]

Foursquare passes 4.5 million users!

4.5 million users might not sound like a huge milestone in this day and age with Facebook hogging all the headlines at 550 million+ users.  However, it’s a mighty achievement for a social networking add-on like Foursquare. After launching in March 2009, it has been adding users at an exceptional rate in percentage terms – [...]

The end of LimeWire as we know it

The end of LimeWire as we know it

A federal court in New York issued a ”permanent injunction” against LimeWire late on Tuesday, ruling that the platform intentionally caused a “massive scale of infringement” by permitting the sharing of thousands of copyrighted works by its 50 million monthly users.

Windows Phone 7 – Really?: Or a good Blackberry advert?

Windows Phone 7 – Really?: Or a good Blackberry advert?

I guess an advert is supposed to generate some buzz about the product..  So Microsoft has done just that with this advert for Windows Phone 7.  The ad (in my opinion) shows a selection of people distracting themselves using mostly Blackberry phones, whilst they are supposed to be doing other more important things. Then at [...]

HOW BIG?: Google

HOW BIG?: Google

We all know it’s big..  But what do we have to compare it to?  Have a look at this cool infographic from computerschool.org showing how big Google really is.

Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this. There’s more: because it’s crawling with [...]

Dynamic Card 2.0: The future?

Excitement! If you’ve ever been to a shop/restaurant attempted to use your card then have it decline the transaction..  Then you scramble for another card, realise you didn’t take one with you… Then have to endure the shame that you forgot you other card – fear not!  Card 2.0 is (hopefully) coming soon. There are [...]

Infographic: Mobile Phone Recycling

Interesting infographic showing the lack of mobile phone recycling.  I usually sell mine on, so I am not sure what happens to them..  I do still have my first ever phone though, for the memories :-p  It will never see a landfill!

Apple saves the 3G with iOS 4.1?

Apple saves the 3G with iOS 4.1?

I have read (a rumour) today that Apple has finally made moves to rescue the recently crippled iPhone 3G!  If this is true, then I am willing to put this little slip up down to human error and move on.  I am currently using the latest iOS 4.0.2 and despite being an improvement on the [...]
