This might be my reason to get the iphone 3gs!

ZodTTD teases gpSPhone and psx4iphone running on iPhone 3GS

The iPhone DevTeam hasn't released a jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS as of the moment but that won't stop famed iPhone homebrew developer ZodTTD for porting his emulators to the speedy new iPhone. Here we have a video preview of his two popular emulators, the gpSPhone and the psx4iphone running on the new iPhone 3GS.




On the first video, Zod previews the GBA emulator, gpSPhone, running on the iPhone 3GS. The video shows the emulator running at a minimum 150 FPS and maxing out at about 225 FPS, with sound and 0 frameskip whereas the iPhone 3G needed frameskipping just to reach 60 FPS.

How to tether your iPhone running OS 3.0 without jailbreaking, for free

iphone fw3.0 cracked.

The iPhone Dev-Team (no relation) have been teasing us for a little bit now with what they've been saying is an iPhone OS 3.0-compatible version of yellowsn0w, and tonight in a video presentation they unveiled ultrasn0w, which should let you unlock any iPhone on the market, running any version of the firmware from 3.0 on down. The trick to how they're getting the jailbreak hasn't been revealed yet for fear of Apple making a fix at the eleventh hour, but if everything goes according to plan, the new hacking software should be out Friday in time for the iPhone 3G S (no guarantee it'll work on the new device). Hit up the read link to watch the magic happen right before your very own eyes.

New Nano's!!

After going to Chatswood to eat an incredible bowl of Nyonya mee siam I thought I'd wander over to the local apple store to see if they had the new ipod nanos... AND THEY DID!!!



More photos via my mac gallery link. Oh yeah go ahead and upload some pictures of your ipods!!

N-Pretensions or how I Pwn Myself

1. I installed the n-draft enabler on the macbook - PWN MYSELF #1



2. Macbook grounds to a halt with current router (DG846G). I thought I'll be leet and update the firmware on the router. Instead I bricked it - PWN MYSELF #2 (Though Netgear should take some of the blame here for a lousy way of updating firmware)



3. Next day I got to buy the sik modem/router DG846N which has draft n-pretensions!!



4. I install it. It works well! Increased speeds from my macbook to imac! Margin increase of internet speed on macbook!! How joyous!! Though I do notice the macbook crashes for unknown reasons..



5. Next day (Friday) all hell breaks loose. The macbook continually crashes. There are some instances where I'll just let it sit there and 2 minutes it'll freeze! WTF?! After staying up to 4am I conclude that its the DG846N that's causing all the problems. it just doesn't work well with the macbook on any wifi network setting!! PWN MYSELF #3



6. Saturday I investigate if I can un-install the draft n (can't). I investigate if I can replace the card (can't its built in).



7. I decide to hell with this. I'm stuck with n-pretensions. A lot of the mac forums have said there's issues with being draft n. So the solution? Go get the fricking airport extreme!! That's guaranteed n-pretensions will work!! So I go do that and get a basic adsl+2 modem from netgear DN1111.



8. I promise myself the first thing I'm going to do when my n-pretensions is setup is to ebay my stupid DG834N.



9. First I setup the modem to install my ISP settings. Works a treat! Sik! Now all I need to do is install the airport extreme! I have this great meal of Shanghai food too ready for me to eat and celebrate; Dumplings, red bean pancake, noodles.. YUM!!



10. 4 hours later I still can't get it to freaking fking work!!!!!!!!!!!11



11. I find out that the modem I got is a POS device that has documented issues with the airport extreme. I can't fking believe it! In fact I find out that there's a few modems out there that don't really work well with the airport extreme. So much for plug and play. PWN MYSELF #3



12. Solution? I use the DG834N as the modem! And guess what it works. Though I can't exactly say I'm thrilled about the solution. Anyways. Network is up. Macbook runs fast and doesn't crash. All is well. I go eat my cold dumplings.



13. I have the airport express that I use for airtunes. Due to changing of networks its disabled. So I need to update the password.



14. I spend another fking hour trying to get this to work. I later find out I was connecting it to the wrong network PWN MYSELF #4.



15. At this stage I'm starting to hate apple products.



16. Next day I thought I'll try that virtual disk functionality with airport extreme with my external hard drive. I switch it over and sigh with relief as it works! Though I noticed tfr files from my imac is slower due to the USB 2.0 connect (previously I was on FW400).



17. It should be noted my entire itunes and iphoto library is on this external hard drive.



18. I'm on itunes and with a lazy Sunday arvo I'll go listen to the 1UP Yours podcast. So I go download it via itunes. And. Then. itunes. Crashes. FFFFCCCKKKK!!!!!!111 PWN MYSELF #5



19. I reboot my imac multiple times and I cannot for the life of me find my fking external hard drive on the network!!! WTF?! Yet on my Airport utility program it shows it recognises my external hard drive!!!!



20. I thought fk this. I re-configure my external hard drive back to what it was again. I'm really hating apple and especially the airport extreme. I conclude it a buggy POS from both a hardware and software perspective. Though it looks nice.



PS. I later find out that not all external hard drives work with the airport extreme and also find that itunes will crash like nuts if you try to download stuff from itunes store to your external hard drive via the airport extreme. I'm just fking speechless when I read that.

hello.. again

For all you apple buffs.. the video when Jobsey first announced the Bondi Blue (Australia! hooray!) imac!

I guess if you ignore how lowly specc'ed this imac is compared to now (33k modem!! 4gb hard drive!) its actually a pretty interesting video in a few ways..

1. Jobsey is wearing a suit! And he has more hair!
2. Jobsey is still a master talker (though he hasn't incorporated BOOM into his vocabulary)
3. The imac was originally made for education and internet purposes!
4. Even though so many years have past PC desktops still look fking terrible and ugly



Here's the video for the imac G4. Personally I rank this as Apple's tour de force in terms of it's hardware design (along with the cube). The presentation is actually pretty interesting too as Jobsey makes comments about why they couldn't make the imac G5 (yet) when he pretends to cut the imac G3 in half (which is basically the imac G5). I'm not explaining myself properly. Watch the video instead hahaha



The introduction of the imac G5 isn't all that interesting as Jobsey doesn't introduce it (he was in hospital) but here it is anyways



In all cases though the audience oohs and aahs all three products and all 3 products are the "Greatest thing Apple has made!"

Twat of the Week - Creative

I've been waiting a long time for this blog entry.. KARMA BABY!! It's very rare for things to pan out as this issue did so let's all rejoice for today's twat of the week - SIM WONG HOO!!

In 2004
Creative CEO Sim Wong Hoo is quoting by the Reuters news agency as saying, "the MP3 war has started and I am the one who has declared war. I'm planning to spend some serious money - I intend to outmarket everyone."

On May 02, 2007 (a mere 3 years)
Creative said today that job cuts will help operating expenses fall 20 percent by the end of September. The company is seeking to boost sales and profit by supplying Cupertino, California-based Apple with iPod accessories and providing outsourced production

Happy 30 Years Apple!

Apparently on the 16th of April 1977 Jobsey and Wozza setup their first stall in the West Coast Computer Fair in San Franciso! That's 30 years! You know they were only 21? What the hell were you doing when you were 21?!

Here's my favourite quote from the early days of Apple

Steve Jobs : He (Steve Wozniak) was the only person I met who knew more about electronics than me

Steve Wozniak : Steve didn't know very much about electronics

present

This is what my wife got me as a birthday present, the ikaraoke! Its a pretty cool little device, you can sing along your favorite songs either direct to your headset or if you feel like performing, you can broadcast your music and your singing to a fm frequency! Haha, no more need to go to karaoke anymore! (Save the dodgy ones i guess unless you bring the girl(s) home!)
