08/31 The iPhone Dev Team Releases QuickPwn for Windows

The unofficial iPhone DevTeam has just released another jailbreaking tool, one that should make the process a little quicker and easier. The new tool is called QuickPwn and it will allow users to jailbreak their iPhone without having to create a full IPSW and do a full restore within iTunes.

Of course this initial release does have some limitations, it is currently just available as a beta, and is for Windows users only, however the DevTeam has promised a version for other platforms in the future.

In addition to being Windows only, QuickPwn will currently only work with an iPhone running firmware 2.0.1, and as of current it does not have a nice fancy user interface, which once again was promised to be coming in a later version. iPhone Hacks

Keep in mind, although it seems to be missing a lot at this point, its still just in beta, however the DevTeam does consider it safe to use, stating that QuickPwn “only deals with the S5L (application processor) side of the device, so it’s impossible for this to permanently damage your device.”

Its also important to point out that the team does not intend to offer this as a replacement to their current PwnageTool, but just as a “complement” to it, of course if you were just looking to jailbreak then QuickPwn would seem to be the way to go.

08/31 Number Plates manufacture now easier.

The manufacture of car number plates has undergone many changes over the years. Early plates were pressed out of a sheet of metal. then plastic digits were rivetted onto a metal plate. The advent of acrylic plates made for a highly reflective number plate but they were still time consuming to make. The latest innovation has been the use of a printer connected to a computer so the operator can just type in the registration number and the printer prints the black digits onto the reflective background then all that remains is for the acrylic to be stuck over it.

08/31 His Dream Job

My husband has always been a computer nerd, as I have called him. He loves to solve problems, to work on computers, and to make a difference. He went to school and got certified to work with Msc Information Security, and is absolutely loving his job. I am glad that he can work in a way that expresses who he is. I am proud of the decision he has made to follow his passion. The computer security field is always in need of all the help that they can get, so I am not concerned about them not needing him anymore.

08/30 Broadband Access Increasing Rapidly

I do not know how I ever made it through that experience. My crazy cousin decided that he was going to go to Africa and hunt lions, and he was convinced that I needed to go with him. We spent most of the trip in a hut, without a toilet or running water, let alone broadband access. We did get in some great hunting, but without the quality of life that I am used to, it was hardly the experience it could have been. Next time I am refusing to go unless we stay in a reasonable hotel, or at least something with beds.

08/30 Never Set Your Own Price Targets

How does the stock market work?  Investors do their homework, pick a stock, predict where it’s going and then sell once it’s run is over.  However, investors have got into a bad habit of setting their own price targets.  They believe that this will give them good discipline to sell no matter what when it reaches this target.  It isn’t good discipline, it’s dumb investing.  If you ever noticed an analysts grade with their price targets set, you know that rarely does a stock land anywhere close to that target price.  The market is too unpredictable to accurately predict when a stock will drop.  It’s important to be a reactive investor, wait until the signs of the market tells you that it’s time to sell.

08/30 What do you think about it?

My position has been eliminated at the company I have been working with for 6 years. My business is on-site real estate sales & development. My constant job search has turned up nothing and I am getting desperate. I received an e-mail invitation to check out a free seminar to discuss Enlightened WEalth Institute STudent Life. I am skeptical because we all know you don’t get rich overnight but it is a real estate based business and I am already very familiar with that arena so I think I would be able to tell if it was for real or not. What do you think?

08/30 Crazy - Debt Loans

It seems so strange to see people so heavily in debt talking seriously about going into more debt in order to get them out of debt. It does not seem to make much sense to me. As odd as it may seem that is exactly what debt loans do.

Technically yes, in getting a debt loan you are going into debt to get yourself out of debt. However, often time a debt loan can lower the average interest rate you would be paying with several different credit cards and it also make it easy with one payment a month as opposed to several payment due each month

08/29 The Problem of Teenage Alcohol Abuse

I remember reading about alcohol abuse among teenagers and learning that millions of teens in the United States engage in alcohol abuse.  When you stop to think about this, this statistic is shocking.  How is it that so many teens in the U.S. (and in other developed countries in the world) drink in an abusive manner? 

What are the parents of these teens doing about this problem?  How are our school systems addressing this problem?  In case it escapes most people, the more teens in our country who abuse alcohol the more adults there will be who not only abuse alcohol but who become alcohol dependent.

08/29 Where can I find out more about this?

I am trying to decide which project management software I should buy, so I am looking into how the different programs work. I am trying to find out more about the Prince2 process model to see if this seems like a method that would work well for me, or whether I might be better off trying a different program. Can anyone tell me where I can find out more information about this? I have heard a lot of good things about this program, so right now I am leaning toward this program over the others that I have been looking into.

08/29 Discount Office Desk and the Concept of Modern

The tricky thing about being “modern” is that it is very arbitrary.  What may be modern today, may not be modern anymore a week from now.  Let’s talk about what constitutes modern office furniture or contemporary office furniture.
