Category: Technologyadmin @ 3:07 pm

To those of you who check your emails from BT and use their exchange system, watch out as their section of their page has been hacked.

Currently its forwarding to facebook with malicious code.

As a good person that I am, I have informed BT about it, they are looking into it.

Should probably be resolved soon.

Google Instant Revealed

Category: Technologyadmin @ 12:08 am

As pointed out by the Search Engine Roundtable, Google has shown off live search results. When you begin typing in your search criteria, Google will dynamically show you what your results would be if you were to submit the search at that moment. Of course, this feature can be turned off at any time.

What this new functionality means for Google is unclear. One thing is for sure–no other search engine can do this. That right there gives even more bragging rights to the world’s most popular search engine. It will be interesting to see if a similar search feature will make its way to mobile devices. We will know soon enough.

UPDATE: The new feature will be called Google Instant. You can read up on it at Google’s very own site.

  • Before Google Instant, the typical searcher took more than 9 seconds to enter a search term, and we saw many examples of searches that took 30-90 seconds to type.
  • Using Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search.
  • If everyone uses Google Instant globally, we estimate this will save more than 3.5 billion seconds a day. That’s 11 hours saved every second.
  • 15 new technologies contribute to Google Instant functionality.

If you’re interested in trying out Instant yourself then please visit Google’s Instant search page here.

iOS 4.1 Released – Downloads

Category: iPhone / iTouch / iPadadmin @ 12:05 am

Apple has released iOS 4.1 for iPod Touch and iPhone devices.

OS 4.0.1 for iPhone and iPod Touch is rolling out to devices right now. iTunes has been prompting users to update to the latest iteration of their mobile operating system. iOS 4.1 is available for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 2nd generation, iPod touch 3rd generation, and iPod touch 4th generation.

iOS 4.1 includes fixes for the iPhone 4 proximity sensor, iPhone 3G performance and bluetooth issues. The new mobile OS also includes a new game center to allow multiplayer games to be more social. iOS 4.1 users can also take HDR pictures, rent TV shows from iTunes and upload HD videos to YouTube. Apple is expected to release iOS 4.2 in November for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

Direct download links:

iPod Touch 2nd Gen
iPod Touch 3rd Gen
iPod Touch 4th Gen
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4

We have to point out, DO NOT to UPDATE your version 4.1 for now, as per the DevTeam suggestion:

This time of year there are lots of new iPhone owners, and not everybody knows that accepting new iOS updates is the surest way to lose your jailbreak and/or unlock.  While those of you who have Cydia or TinyUmbrella backups of your FW hashes will always be able to get back to 4.0.1 if you make this mistake, this doesn’t hold for unlockers. There’s currently no known way to revert your baseband — if you update your baseband you’ll lose the ultrasn0w unlock, possible forever.

Please stay away from this 4.1 release until a safe jailbreak procedure (which also preserves ultrasn0w) is developed and released.

P.S.  There are a very few iPhone3G owners who can revert their basebands due to a flaw in very early bootloaders…you will already know if you fit in this category!)
