Commentary:- Jail-breaking an iPhone, in fact the iPhone 5 seems interesting. It's about 4 months since Apple debuted this stylish, gorgeous & most terrific iDevice for the spring users to embrace. What makes it interesting is how the clean fit of it's Britannica design takes shape when working with it on your palm. The iPhone 5 is lately designed to perform better with high level & extreme graphic hardware acceleration, be it gaming, browsing the web, taking HD photos & as well videos for later review. Apple, of late, has given it's users a mind controlling device to tangle about, but does anyone realize how more interesting this iDevice can be when jailbroken? i guess some of you aren't getting this right. Don't get it twisted either. Jailbreaking here simply means, removing Apple's limitation from it's iOS devices' operating system through the use of software & hardware exploits. The iDevices that fall into this one iOS basket includes the iPod touch, iPad, iPhone & Second Generation Apple TV. All have the capabilities of dribbling  binaries that kernel from A5 family can marry & merge both it's firmware & kernel-band into one. Well it's time to throw this evasion secret to the wind & let the parachute drop you to a land of alternate app store known as Cydia. Jailbreaking has given insight to developers but again a stressful incarnation is what raises this flag of frustration to many. Apple, for the past years, has been chipping critical patches to it's latest iDevice hardware for excellent restriction where hackers have still come to discover. Take the scenario of iOS 5, was it a living menace that no hacker came to unveil? Did it come to fade away from the thoughts of many Apple users? the definite answer here is NO; -  & i mean there's nothing gonna stumble hackers from debuting a newer way of hacking into that system. Last week on Sunday, that's five days past to be precise, a group of hackers styling themselves as the Evad3rs team gave a tweet that went viral stating their new release of a usable jailbreak software that could go through a couple of iOS devices with the iPhone 5 & others being included. Interestingly, the jailbreak, through the 1st two, day, test-run attempt after it's debut, only worked well but through a tethered installation (Direct iDevice connection with PC resources being on utility). No one especially me recommended this kind of jailbreak actually because of various reasons here & there. After performing the above jailbreak, users could only turn-on/reboot their device via an open & full authentication of a cable plug-in. I first experienced this when jailbreaking my 1st iPhone,  the iPhone 4. I could hardly switch on my device when it abruptly went off due to low battery power, meaning, i had to head back home later in the day after my day work & boot it back to life via a tethered connection with my laptop offering such a support. It's on Wednesday that a new & advanced jailbreaking mechanism was kept in place for junkies to gaga with.

- Now, without wasting no time, I'll highlight fancy steps on how you'll jailbreak your iPhone 5 cellphone in minutes:

*Step 1 visit this Evasi0n Jailbreak website here & download only packages aided for your platform.
*step 2 Go to the website of Redsn0w and down load the jailbreak tool depending upon the OS of your computer and the baseband of your phone
*Step 3  Create a folder for this tool on your desktop and name it redsn0w
*step 4  Unzip the files of the software and launch it on your computer (Windows users) for Linux & Mac based platform run the tarball file (Best initialed as Tar) package under a terminal execution, making sure you're logged in as Root as I've displayed below.

*Step 5 Initiate jailbreak option in the software but before that, make sure you click on run as administrator option (On windows platform) or Root/Super User (On either Mac/Linux)
*Step 6 switch off the iPhone 5 and connect it to the computer
*Step 7  Put the device in DFU mode and follow the commands given by the jailbreak tool
*Step 8  The software notifies before completing jailbreak. This is when you need to click on exit before unplugging the phone from the computer
*Step 9  Your iPhone 5 is now jailbroken. You can also unlock it if you choose!

Warning!!!

Let it be clearly noted that i will not be held liable for any damage to the device. Users are advised to create back-up for all the data of the device. Ensure that the battery of the device carries more than 80 per cent of charge.

N/B

-Jailbreaking doesn't unlock your iDevice. It's only a rail-line exposing you to various 3rd party application & furthermore evade Apple's restrictions. 

- Am pretty sure you're now displaying a coy smile on your face as your iPhone 5 is now ready to take full control to the world of amazing apps, some paid for, while others not exorbitant in any way or rather on commercial - Amazingly free!

Apple gets aggressive: Snow White leopard get's Java blockage Update

 

Commentary:-   Malware in-fact self extracting vulnerabilities isn't what many really appreciate to encounter. Just few weeks ago persons systems were highly & profusely invaded by a Malware strain, that is believed to have worked differently from the initial one incurred previously known as flashback after a recent security issue.. For 5 yrs Mac users have served under hasty condition where combating vulnerabilities has become an everyday tune. Earlier on friday apple released an update blockage to counter it's approach on system for it's loyal, Mac users. The 1st update rolled out only for persons working on OS X version of Lion & OS X Mountain lion. For the OS X snow white came only a day later after 1st critical test for both OS X lion & Mountain lion versions too. All these updates were then to be administered differently, others, via manual update while some from apple's update center which can be best performed by navigating on apple's icon & their after invoking a quick update which is done automatically by the system after a soft left mouse button click. Apart from this, we've also had the problem of Java patch, where Java's optional version (v1.7.0_13) wasn't a slice for Snow white users, rather, for OS X lion & higher. I've also tried running Java update 7 Run time but unfortunately got few hustles immediately after update progress came to completion. However, Apple has now released a separate update for Java 6 which currently prompts quick actions to counteract vulnerabilities when executing pages & all the same programs that rely on Java for excellent performance. The update procedure is again very simple, actually not head cracking as seen of OS X higher versions (Lion & Mountain Lion). Users running on Snow white platform can as well perform the roll-out via Apple's update menu. So far I've received complaints from my readers attaching uproar where few programs they run prefer Java for best functionality of which most pages end-up with 404- redundancy cycle check input return as a result. What I can advice for now is, the web plug-in component for run time should be disable if no programs or web cart services like e-banking isn't a portion of work on your list. Users who will need Java SE later might at least consider disabling the plug-in in the Java Control Panel (or in Apple's Java Preferences utility for Java SE 6)

-Using OS X versions different from Snow White? Here is an update specifically for you!

Truth be told: Dual phone is not the way to go!

Commentary: -   Of late I've done post on OS most probably, desktop OS. Am yet to focus my blog-posts  with serious sentiments on Android, maybe few on that. It's not I haven't been at par with Android, No, In-fact my first phone was once an Android device before i paved way to iOS. Today on a blog post, most particularly , on comments someone just made it clear that a dual OS phone won't surpass the market. I guess he's going real on this, apparently an auditor through twitter conversation confirmed the same "dual OS device isn't going strong neither today or in the future". My bet is perfectly inclined on this same knot. Android devices, for long howl rather 7 yrs down the line have shown best for developers, aiming at least 70,000+ developers while 30% of first ¾ made an imminent port for blackberry support. Slash gearing occasion since the start of Android have bow smiles to many developers across the globe, but achieving dream on how to focus on dual booting operation has seemingly laid grieve to many programmers. I don't & in anyway going hard on android developments scheme but what angers me most is trying to decode bunch of numerics & binaries only to out-stand dual operation on Android devices. I've tried a couple of times gathering ROM's binary expanders with hopes to succeed with excellent dual boot on both Sony Ericsson & samsung galaxy note II but it all went clenching my dreams in vain. With other devices, I'll rather say, I  succeeded & working out to completion has been very successful especially in my country Kenya where many are still embracing low-level entry android devices like the Samsung galaxy mini, galaxy pocket & huawei's 1st test run, Ideos phone. I've managed installing 3x3 ROM expanders each entailing an ice leak of 2>4000 binaries that still support previous clockwork modes of the current Rom's manager application. Of course they run seemingly perfect but then, with no technical know how, automatically redounds to a total crash. It's again on pints that 2% of developers still want to cut a record with effects that not even 2/3 show happiness to this very kind of project. I now know many of you are thinking of throwing stones at me but what am putting forward it's all fact. Why shouldn't  Android be android while iOS remain to be iOS ? Programmers have really drilled on ways to make this dream come true but it's bending gears across the elite who need to gain victory in this. I can vividly remember when I used to see my dad utilize Macintosh in those old golden days where dual booting 2 sequential OS (Macintosh & Linux) was the only way out to favor my endurance on the keyboard but then, gave glitches that ended up quartering new BIOS & re-editing all again to continue offering support of the two. It's the same way here when I tried blending two different ROM expanders only to see each & every android device booting with a gorgeous smile with the android animated robot taking the splash screen. It's again insane for a developer like I mandate to squid extensive binaries only to crash the system after a couple of tries.

Who knows though? I could be analyzing at cross-roads? Do you think the dual OS phone is really a possibility? Leave your opinion in the comments below!

128 GB on the 4th generation iPad? : Apple isn't palying fair to it's Air.

 Mac book air - early 2006 - late may 2011 branded design

Commentary:- Earlier on Wednesday apple confirmed it, through a press release, 4th generation of the iPad will be coming handy with 128 Gigs in capacity. Of course apple isn't playing fair here. Same company with two products on stage, yet a cut-off for one. Why this way? The Mac Book Air posses variety & tremendous features that outsources the 4th generation iPad. If i was to choose today between the Air & 128GB 4th generation iPad,  i would automatically concede positively with the air. Myself am inclined to both movies & music as my favs'. Having 64GB capacity slate on a stunning device like the Mac book isn't slotting logic across the minds of many analysts. Microsofts' store is today, chronologically packed with tablets that posses same 128 GB on board. Individuals, especially business staffs have had the perfect functionality that makes air a gorgeous device to close fiscal year with. Am yet to understand why cutting yummy binaries for the iPad is that essential where as the air gets a 60GB off. From the statistics margin, apple has about up to 60% of OS X users that offsets 35% of the iPad as the final pie. What does this mean? many are on the line gulfing on-line storage with the benefit of having vital data such as photos, documents & as well keynotes created from iPhones/i Macs stored on the cloud. 60GB on the air is extremely insane especially when i can't swipe the device with a slice of an SSD slate drive. It's again ridiculous when a company like Apple is chasing for the bottom rather than the top. Is it because Exxon Mobil Inc made proper growth worth $498.5 thus making it tail hot as a looser? Fine, with 128 gigs on the IPad isn't a bad idea as Toni Sacconaghi - (Wall street Apple's Best Analyst)  puts it but what of the air? We've seen an integration not only in the US but then, globally. The Mac book's taking best in profit. Consumers find both products excellent. If apple isn't going to clench & give close examinees to it's air then let the company be prepared for total deprive from it's consumers. The air is still a device that consumers & businesses  look up to & that doesn't mean the iPad is left off the radius, what's tangling consumers to apple's device is rather the space & not the design as well.  Most other Windows laptops start with 128GB SSDs. It's time for the Air to follow suit, too.
