new updates! horray for palm pre users! boo to apple! ************************************************ new google product for the iPhone! i quote from their website "See your friends' locations and status messages and share yours with them." apparently it only works on the iPhone safari (and not in a form of app). according to google, they do not want to confuse users from their native iPhone maps app which utilises the google map database of course...************************************************ until the next update!

Just tried it. Sounds like fun. Found where I am in a few seconds, but it wasn't 100% accurate.

Hi guys, Any of you ever encounter an Iphone with different kind of software? My friend bought this Iphone in Selayang Mall. I did take a look, and when startup, instead of the Apple logo, It came out with MediaTek. Everything is the same, except for the software..Anybody??

We can change boot logo with Pwnagetool or with 3rd party software from Cydia. Cheers

Yesterday went to maxis and test my maxis broadband with i phone. Maxis ppl tell me that the sim card is different, so it cannot be used with i phone. I insist and i wanna test it, so they let me test. End up, the i phone got full bar of line and i still can c the 3G icon is there.
The problem is that when i click on safari, i cannot connect to google. Is there any setting that i need to do in order for me to use the maxis broandband on the i-phone?

NEWS: Hijacking All iPhones via SMS
Cybersecurity researchers Charlie Miller and Collin Mulliner discovered how to completely hijack any iPhone via SMS. Tomorrow (Thursday) they plan on publicize and reveal the vulnerability at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. They will be demonstrating how to send a series of SMS burst to the iPhone which will allow them to take complete control of EVERYTHNIG on the device and then propagate the attack by sending more SMS messages via the hijacked iPhone. According to Miller
Since Apple has yet to address this iPhone vulnerability even though Miller and Mulliner notified Apple over a month ago. Miller suggests that if you receive a text message on your any time after Thursday afternoon containing only a single square character you should turn the device off immediately.
This vulnerability should be heeded and patched by Apple asap (3.1 firmware anyone?). Miller knows his stuff, he was the first one to remotely hjack the iPhone in 2007 via the former bug in iPhone Safari -- old skool, as in jailbreakme.com old skool.

Guys.. What do you think about jailbreaking? Do you think Apple is right in making it illegal? Should the Copyright Office accept EFF's request for an exception to the DMCA?
Article from PCworld
Apple: Jailbreaking iPhone could lead to Major Network Disruptions
Earlier in the year, Apple had told the U.S. Copyright Office that it believes jailbreaking an iPhone is a violation of the DMCA and infringes on its copyright.
To counter it, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) had filed an exemption request with the to get the U.S. Copyright Office to grant DMCA exception so users can jailbreak their iPhone without fear of copyright infringement penalties.
PCWorld is reporting that Apple has told the U.S. Copyright Office that jailbreaking the iPhone could lead to major network disruptions or allow people to avoid paying for phone calls.
Apple had informed the Copyright Office in February that the exception request by Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) was not acceptable as the very act of jailbreaking the iPhone results in copyright infringement.
Apple has filed more arguments on the issue on June 23 in which it has informed the Copyright Office that jailbreaking the iPhone i.e. modifying iPhone's software could lead to major network disruptions.
In the fillings Apple has raised the following concerns:
"Because jailbreaking makes hacking of the BPP software much easier, jailbreaking affords an avenue for hackers to accomplish a number of undesirable things on the network"
"With access to the BBP via jailbreaking, hackers may be able to change the ECID, which in turn can enable phone calls to be made anonymously (this would be desirable to drug dealers, for example) or charges for the calls to be avoided"
PCWorld rightly points out that a separate identifier, contained in the phone's SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is used to distinguish between customers for billing and authentication purposes rather than ECID.
Apple claims that if several iPhones were modified to have the same ECID, it could cause a transmission tower to malfunction or kick phones off the network.
"In short, taking control of the BPP software would be much the equivalent of getting inside the firewall of a corporate computer -- to potentially catastrophic result"
EFF's argument is that jailbreaking iPhone is protected under fair-use doctrines, and that the Copyright Office should grant an exemption because "the culture of tinkering (or hacking, if you prefer) is an important part of our innovation economy."
The Copyright Office is expected to make a decision in the case later this year.
What do you think about jailbreaking? Do you think Apple is right in making it illegal? Should the Copyright Office accept EFF's request for an exception to the DMCA?
