With iOS 7 being released last week, there is one question that everyone wants to know the answer to: When will there be an iOS 7 jailbreak for the iPhone and iPad? This is a tough question to answer with more variables than you might think. If you’re lumbered with an older phone, such as the iPhone 4, a preliminary tethered jailbreak already exists (but it doesn’t allow the installation of Cydia). If you have a newer device (the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPad, or iPad Mini), you will probably be waiting a very long time for a jailbreak. Let’s jump into some low-level details of iOS, iPhone, and iPad jailbreaking, and discuss when (or if) we’ll ever see a Redsn0w or Evasi0n jailbreak for download. Updated: There are a lot of people/websites reporting to have jailbroken iOS 7, but so far these have all been fakes or scams. When iOS 7 is jailbroken for the iPhone and iPad, we will update this story to let you know. In the mean time, don’t follow a strange link that promises to jailbreak your device — because it won’t. There is an iOS 7 jailbreak for the iPhone 4, called OpenSn0w, but it’s tethered, and doesn’t allow for Cydia installation. Finding an exploit Irrespective of the device or operating system — Windows PCs, Android smartphones, iOS tablets — every jailbreak is predicated on finding an exploit. An exploit is simply a bug or other unintended vulnerability that you can take advantage of. Sometimes an exploit is small, and only allows for perhaps a tethered jailbreak or some other minor boost in functionality. If the exploit is large enough that you can gain complete, persistent root access to the lowest levels of the device, though, it becomes possible to create an untethered jailbreak. An iPhone 3 serial-to-USB home-brew connector, for accessing an iPhone's kernel debugger Finding a large enough exploit to create an untethered jailbreak is really, really hard. In general, the hackers — such as Comex, Geohot, the iPhone Dev Team, or Evad3rs — need to find a bug or vulnerability in the software (iOS, boot ROM), the hardware (the A4/5/6/7 SoC), or ideally both. Usually these bugs and vulnerabilities are discovered with very low-level tools, such as serial port debugging (pictured above). Hacking in general, and security research in specific, is a painstaking and intensive task. Suffice it to say that finding exploits is hard, and requires a special kind of mind to even know where to start, let alone to carry it through to completion. The Great Escape: The greatest jail break? (ha ha) iOS 7 jailbreak There is a constant battle between Apple and jailbreakers. With each new version of iOS and the hardware inside the iDevices (primarily the SoC), Apple improves its defenses against jailbreaking. Furthermore, unless hackers can find a really low-level exploit, Apple can easily patch the hole by releasing a new version of iOS — which is exactly what happened with the Evasi0n and Redsn0w jailbreaks with iOS 6.1.3. In fact, as it stands, there is no jailbreak for devices running iOS 6.1.4 (the latest version of iOS 6) or iOS 7, and no jailbreak for any device with the A5, A6, or A7 SoC and software later than iOS 6.1.2. There hasn’t been a really solid jailbreak since the iPhone 4′s boot ROM was properly exploited. There have been some temporary jailbreaks, and some tethered jailbreaks, but for the most part it feels like Apple has the upper hand. Still, hacking groups like Evad3rs (makers of Evasi0n) have taken to Twitter and other public forums to say that an iOS 7 jailbreak is in the works — though, unlike iOS 6 which was jailbroken on release day, it sounds like we’ll be waiting at least a few months for an iOS 7 jailbreak, across all iDevices. ”Being more and more confident about an iOS 7 public jailbreak ;-) [ that does not mean soon ],” said Pod2g. ”Jailbreak for iOS 7 5s 5c coming around 6 months,” said 4s_pois0n, another Apple hacker. In all likelihood, if you own an iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, or iPhone 5C, you will be waiting months for an iOS 7 jailbreak. If you have an iPhone 5, your only real option for jailbreaking is to stick with iOS 6.1.2 and the Evasi0n or Redsn0w jailbreaks. If you have an iPhone 5S or 5C, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s never a reliable untethered jailbreak for iOS 7. Even if an exploit can be found, which is unlikely given the dearth of exploits in iOS 6 and the brand-new A7 SoC in the iPhone 5S, Apple will almost certainly be able to patch it. Sadly enough, if you really want to jailbreak iOS 7, getting your hands on a three-year-old iPhone 4 with an exploitable boot ROM is probably your best bet. That's exactly the iPhone that I own

Don't worry, it's easy as eating a piece of cheesecake. And in doubt, pls have a look at http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A665-A660/laptop-disassembly-1.htm You will gain insight knowledge of your machine and you'll be happier for this! The alternative is to sent it to the support and wait without it for... how much long you and I we don't know... The only thing that I don't like in my MBP is the fact that I cannot take it apart without voiding the Apple Care... And I strongly miss it for sure... the only thing that remain to me is to look at the iFixit guides and dream...

I've simply googled your question https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Mgiu22v7Abw Is this a real fix for your situation? let me know... Cheers

We are the last to know exactly 'when' and 'how', so the best we can do is to E N J O Y till the very end! And that's what I wish to you from the deepest of my soul. Cheers mate, u da best!

Sleep. We spend a third of our lives asleep but did you know that scientists still really have no idea why? Studies have shown that adults that sleep between six to eight hours per night typically live longer. Yet at the same time, excessive sleep has been linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Coders, designers, and many other jobs related to IT or startup life are associated with sleepless nights when involved in a groundbreaking project. So what happens on the opposite end of the spectrum – sleep deprivation? That very topic is explored in this AsapSCIENCE clip from YouTube. Turns out, short-term effects can actually be rather positive while long-term effects might not be what you would have guessed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nNhDkKAvxFk

You bet! But this isn't a definitive research... so if you start to monitor yourself, your blood and all the possible life parameters, you may help the whole human race with some positive discovery. What I've read is that ppls that sleep as you do, sometime have necessity to sleep kinda 12 or more hours in a row to recover. Is this your case, Darko?

Cute! So she will not crash your skull shouting 'Oh Daddy!', at least That's R E E E E A L L L L Y positive indeed, and may also further improve your relationship with her . O gosh! You see? Life it's wonderful! I wish you all possible mate!

Wanhope despair

W O W !

There is a little magnifying glass in the upper right corner that it's meant to search topics on forum. Perhaps it's not so evident...But try it. And in the meanwhile, try those links http://www.cyberphoenix.org/forum/topic/200896-all-windows-and-office-permanent-activator-2013-collection/?hl=%2Bwindows+%2Bactivator http://www.cyberphoenix.org/forum/topic/177182-windows-8-one-click-activator/?hl=%2Bwindows+%2Bactivator http://www.cyberphoenix.org/forum/topic/57420-microsoft-genuine-tools-v10-all-activators-2012/?hl=%2Bwindows+%2Bactivator http://www.cyberphoenix.org/forum/topic/96922-microsoft-toolkit-232-stable/?hl=%2Bwindows+%2Bactivator Cheers

Now we are even more richer! Thanks for joining our family mate, E N J O Y ! ! ! Cheers

Saw saying or proverb

And IMHO, even if we must define in which context and with which language, it's a potential security breach and an open door to possible exploits. Practically, I open up 'flexibility' that may, and will, be used to simply crack the code or the system the code runs on... So at the end, it's a security risk all around, worst than a simple 'poor programming practice'.

Perhaps I'm a bit too paranoid, but the question that arise in my mind is: "Who owns Phalanx?"

Long to read, but VEEEERY informative! Thanks for sharing, Cheers

Air Call this stuff Airy Queen—around 40 percent of it is air. DQ pumps up the volume to give its soft-serve that marshmallowy quality (it also provides more servings from a given amount of milk). People seem to like it—soft-serve represents nearly 70 percent of ice cream desserts sold at fast-food joints in the US. Nonfat milk and milk fat Do they really take the fat out and then put it back in? Not quite. This wording is a bit of FDA nonsense enabling DQ suppliers to use almost any milk product—cream, condensed, skim, whole, nonfat, dry—and still end up with a 5 percent fat base. Sugar Legend has it that ice cream was popularized in the 17th century by the chef for King Charles I. Was it the richness or the novel coldness that made ice cream a hit? We’re betting it was actually the sugar, which causes an increase in dopamine, the brain’s pleasure-anticipation signal. Just like cocaine! Polysorbate 80 Polysorbates gained popularity after World War II, when people were excited about a future in which they would eat numbered chemicals instead of food. PS 80 is made by mixing a derivative of sorbitol, a glucose alcohol, with fatty oleic acid. It’s an emulsifier that penetrates the boundary between fat and water molecules in the soft-serve to keep them from separating. Vitamin A palmitate More FDA shenanigans. When you extract the fat from milk, you extract the fat-soluble vitamin A as well. The Feds make milk processors fortify their low-fat cow juice with replacement vitamin A. When DQ uses low-fat milk in its soft-serve, this new vitamin A comes along with it. A pain, really, since milk fat and palmitate tend to color the soft-serve a delicate shade of yellow. How to keep things white? More air! Coconut Oil The magic phase shifter, used in the base of the chocolate coating. Coconut oil solidifies at a relatively high 76 degrees. When the icy soft-serve is dipped into the coating, the coconut oil crystallizes, forming a 1- to 2-mm-thick shell. In about 30 seconds, as the shell approaches the temperature of the soft-serve, the contracting power of cold causes it to become brittle or crack—features that DQ knows the public loves. Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil Some makers add up to 10 percent vegetable oil to maintain enough plasticity for the coating to cover the soft-serve before solidifying. Cocoa Real, honest-to-goodness cocoa … just not very much of it. Technically, the coating doesn’t meet FDA requirements of chocolate as a stand- alone food, so DQ calls it “chocolate flavored.” Soy Lecithin Lecithin is an emulsifier that was originally extracted from egg yolk (lekithos in Greek), but the version here is derived from soybeans. It’s a collection of triglycerides and lipids that lowers the viscosity of the coating mix and makes it flow more smoothly, ensuring a perfectly formed shell of chocolatey- ish goodness.

One of Google Chrome’s best features is the Omnibox, a why-didn’t-I-think-of-that idea that pretty much every major browser has now stolen. For instance, the newest version of iOS Safari combines the search window and the URL window. But Google Chrome’s remains the best, mainly because of its immense customizability. Unlike other browsers, Chrome makes it easy for you to search a specific website with a few keystrokes. Let’s say you want to search YAHOO and you’ve done it before. Start typing YAHOO.com in the Chrome Omnibox. After the first three or so characters, press Tab. Now you’re searching just the Yahoo website from Chrome, without going to the site itself. This works for lots of websites — Google, Bing, reddit, basically any site with a search function. Searching Twitter can be particularly useful too if for no other reason than to see what people are saying about a breaking news event. Google Chrome does an excellent job of automatically adding search queries to your Chromebar. But if you’ve been a longtime user, there are probably some that don’t work. For instance, Facebook’s Graph Search changed the URL to search Facebook, and if you had the previous search query in your Chrome, it won’t work anymore. Here’s how you fix it: 1. Go to Chromebar settings. You can find it by plugging chrome://settings/searchengines into the search bar, or right clicking and selecting “edit search engines.” 2. Scroll to the very bottom. 3. There should be three boxes. The first is the name of the site you want to search. That can be anything. The second box, “keyword,” is what you type in before you press Tab. Tip: Make your keyword short, and avoid using the first few letters of the site you want to search. This is because Google’s Autocomplete will override your search. The third box is where you plug in the search URL. Remember to replace the search term with %s if you copy and pasted it directly. There are a few sites that are more difficult to add to search. Chrome won’t add them automatically because they either have a complicated search function (Facebook), or because they usually initiate search through Javascript (Google Maps and Gmail.) Here are a few to get you started: Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps?source=uds&q=%s Gmail: http://mail.google.com/mail/?search=query&view=tl&start=0&init=1&fs=1&q=%s Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/search/web/direct_search.php?q=%s Twitter User (I like to keyword this one @): https://twitter.com/search?q=%s&mode=users

In the digital world, we now know, there’s basically nowhere to hide. Encryption is flawed–even Tor is vulnerable–and the tech companies we rely on every day are more than happy to gift wrap our personal data for the feds. But computers don’t just know how to snoop on packets and pixels. Optical character recognition, the same stuff that Google uses to scan the world’s books, can turn real, physical documents into more grist for the data mill with astonishing accuracy. Sang Mun, a designer who has previously worked with the NSA during his time in the Korean military, came up with a clever way to fight back: He made a typeface that’s unparsable to computers, but legible to human eyes. ZXX, as the typeface is called, comes in four flavors, each exploiting a different weakness in existing OCR tech. The “Camo” style obscures letterforms with camofalgue-style blobs. “Noise” splatters them with digital graffiti. “X’ed” just lays a big, crisp X over each letter, and “False” adorns each letter with another tiny, secondary letters. With each–or better yet, a mix of them all–Mun shows how it’s still possible to print a message that can’t be snooped on by some camera peeking over a shoulder. It took Mun a year to research and create the typeface, which he released last year as a free download. The name ZXX comes from a system the Library of Congress uses to denote a book’s written language. ZXX means “No linguistic content; Not applicable.” http://vimeo.com/42675696 The project is more of a provocation than a true security measure. “Sometimes these ideas about privacy can feel large and abstract to average person,” Mun says. “I thought that addressing these issues through the design of a typeface—a building block of language and communication—would bring home the conversation to the average person.” But if you let your mind visit some not-so-distant future where cameras are ubiquitous and ordinary life is mediated through sophisticated wearable devices, you can see how we could end up needing tools like this one. “Google definitely inspired me the most in developing a defiant typeface,” Mun says. “Hearing about Google Glass—a 24/7 ubiquitous panopticon–the Google Goggles app and its new image search engine, and Google’s rigorous process of scanning every existing book … All these software algorithms are programmed to extract every bit of information out of every kind of input.” When you think about that sort of future, locating those vanishingly small edge cases where human ingenuity can foil machine intelligence becomes increasingly important. “Our digitalized life is really short,” Mun says, “This means laws and legislations need to be reformed accordingly. I think that’s what many of us are asking for … to transparently rebuild this from the ground up.” And in case we can’t quite change course and avoid an even more invasive security state, don’t worry: Mun’s hard at work on ZXX version 2.0.

Atari Inc. was a pioneer of videogames before the $70 billion industry left it behind. Now its creditors are set to meet a similar fate. The creator of arcade classics such as Pong and Asteroids, has filed a bankruptcy plan that will keep French parent Atari SA in control of the company. The plan calls for Atari to pay off its bankruptcy loan and not much else, after it was unable to sell its valuable name and two of its lucrative franchises.

BlackBerry’s fate is coming into focus. The company announced on Monday that it has signed a letter of intent with a consortium led by Fairfax Financial to buy out the company for about $4.7 billion, or $9 per share. Fairfax CEO Prem Watsa, a former BlackBerry board member, said that the buyout would make BlackBerry a private company and would “open an exciting new private chapter for BlackBerry, its customers, carriers and employees.” BlackBerry says it expects Fairfax to finish conducting its due diligence by November 4th. Even though the deal is non-binding at this point, BlackBerry will still have to pay Fairfax a fee of $0.30 per share if the deal doesn’t happen. BlackBerry shares jumped about 3% on on the news.

You can buy a lot of things with $10,100 -- unless we're talking hard-to-find iPhones on eBay. That's how much one eBay buyer paid for a 16GB unlocked iPhone 5S in gold, a device that's currently back-ordered into next month. The US-based seller "Papakar" put the device up for sale Sunday afternoon. It proceeded to get 51 bids on its way to end at $10,100 just before 1 p.m. PT earlier today. To put that price in perspective, an iPhone 5 (last year's model), made out of actual 24K gold will run you about $4,646 from this UK-based company. The iPhone 5S itself only retails for $649 in the US (plus tax). The gold color is new for the iPhone this year, as is "Space Gray" which replaced last year's black color. Apple appears to have made less of the gold color than any other type, as it was the first to sell out when online sales began, and was also in scarce supply when the device went on sale last week.

Airline passengers will likely be able to start using certain electronics during all phases of flight starting next year. According to The New York Times, an advisory panel for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is meeting this week to finish its recommendations concerning electronics use onboard planes. These recommendations will be given to the FAA by the end of the month, and NYT says they'll likely go into effect next year. The recommendations are expected to relax current rules for the use of electronics on planes during takeoffs and landings. According to NYT, the panel suggests that reading eBooks, listening to podcasts and watching videos will be allowed, but making phone calls, sending/receiving e-mails and text messages or using Wi-Fi will still be off limits. The rules in place today were set in 1966, when it was believed that electromagnetic interference would cause problems with radios and navigation systems onboard the plane. The general rule is to turn all electronic devices off during takeoffs and landings, and can be turned on once the plane reaches about 10,000 feet. However, with the flood of portable devices available today, it's nearly impossible to make sure each and every tablet or smartphone is off during takeoffs and landings. That's why the FAA created the advisory board in August 2012. Not only is it looking for recommendations, but also didn't want each airline to create a different set of rules that would confuse passengers. It looks like the board thinks it's time to relax the rules a little. In June of this year, the 28-member panel consisting of government, industry and pilot union representatives released its draft recommendations saying that the weak wireless signals and tighter range of frequencies from electronic devices are not enough to interfere with plane systems. Approved devices, such as e-readers, could even be used during all phases of the flight. Current rules for electronic device use has caused a lot of problems between passengers and even airline employees. For instance, a 68-year-old man punched a 15-year-old on a plane when the teenager refused to turn off his smartphone during a flight. According to the man, he was doing it to save the entire plane from any harmful consequences. Another passenger was arrested in El Paso when he decided not to turn off his cell phone during landing. In yet another instance, a passenger did the same when landing in New York and a swarm of cop cars were waiting for him once he exited the plane. Of course, many also remember the incident where Alec Baldwin was kicked off a plane in 2011 for playing Words With Friends.

Encoding symbols and characters in digital form is fairly easy—but making sure that everyone in the world is doing it in the same way sure isn't. Fortunately, Unicode came along—but how the hell does it work? The Unicode Consortium has the unenviable task of looking after more than 100,000 characters and making sure they're encoded in the same way the world over. This video explains why that was tough, and how the problem was solved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MijmeoH9LT4

Every time Apple builds a new device, search firm IHS takes a look at the parts and tries to estimate the bill-of-materials for the new gadget. The resulting price is a rough approximation of what it costs Apple to build each iPhone, which can provide some idea of what Apple makes on the sale of each device to consumers. IHS provided AllThingsD with an early peek at its evaluation of this year’s new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, and finds that Apple probably spends a minimum of $191 on the iPhone 5s with 16GB of onboard storage, plus $8 for assembly for a total cost of $199 per device. At the top end, a 64GB iPhone 5s probably costs around $208 for Apple, which is close to the estimate for the iPhone 5, which was said to have cost a minimum of $205 by IHS last year, for the lowest storage option. The iPhone 5c is estimated to have a total cost of around $173 to start for the 16GB model, or $183 for the $32GB version, which includes $7 for assembly. As is generally the case, Apple has managed to reduce costs vs. previous versions, all the while introducing unique new components like the fingerprint sensor ($7 per) and the RF chips that IHS says are uniquely designed for Apple to be able to handle 13 LTE bands. Both the 5s and the 5c contain the same mix of RF chips, which clock in at around $32 per unit, which is still cheaper than the $34 estimated for the iPhone 5′s 5-band LTE radio. Apple never reveals its device or supply costs, and there’s no real way of knowing exactly how close IHS got to getting the prices right. Suffice it to say is that it’s fair to assume they’re in the right ballpark, given their experience and long history. The key takeaway here is that Apple’s ability to massage supply prices lower and drive margins up seems in no danger of slipping, and in fact, given this information, Cook and his efficiency expertise could be more effective than ever.
