Apparently not content with just selling cloned Mac hardware in the form of PCs built out of components that are OS X friendly, Psystar, that perennial legal foe of Apple, has now released a software program, too. The program, dubbed Rebel EFI, perhaps in an effort to stir the patriotic hearts of American and Star [...]
Days after the SMS vulnerability was reported, in which a single character could be used to crash or even take over an iPhone, Apple has released a single-purpose update.
The Knowledgebase Article makes it sound as potentially bad as it is.
Impact: Receiving a maliciously crafted SMS message may lead to an unexpected service interruption or arbitrary [...]
With the release of webOS 1.1, Palm Pre users cut off from iTunes 8.2.1 are connected again, at least until iTunes 8.2.2 shows up in Software Update.
For today, however, Palm can talk some trash. Or at least John Traynor, VP of Business Products for Palm, can and does on the company’s blog.
Oh, and one more [...]
Over in London, the experimental electronic music scene is positively flourishing.
Having lived in the UK’s capital city for the latter part of 2008, I discovered a bubbling sonic subculture — a community of creatives hijacking ice cream vans, reappropriating medical EPGs, and hacking instruments out of scraps of junk, all for the purposes of audio [...]
We know that you don’t want to release a netbook, Mr. Jobs, and we respect your stance that you don’t want to sacrifice quality and besmirch the Apple name with a sub-standard product.

I updated iTunes to version 8 following the “Let’s Rock” event the other day – Genius looked snazzy, and I wanted it! – and was merrily looking through my recommendations when I noticed something a little strange. The arrow links to the iTunes store were appearing again. One of the first things I do upon installing [...]
I wrote about this a while back on my blog, hackaddict, but it was such a popular post I thought I’d give it a revisit. A lot of people buy used Macs, and they often run into the problem of not knowing the admin password, so here is a way to get around not [...]
One of the biggest complaints made by new Leopard users is the semi-transparent menu bar. Depending on what wallpaper you have set on your monitor, it can get pretty funky up there.
It was bound to happen sooner or later, but barely 3 days after Leopard’s release we now have a simple app that changes the [...]
Hack The iPhone has posted an in-depth walkthrough on how to get custom ringtones working on your iPhone.
It requires quite a bit of hackery and, if you’re not careful, could very well kill off your iPhone altogether.
I honestly don’t think I’d want to risk that considering it costs a small fortune to purchase an [...]
While this information will currently be of no use to you, it’s still interesting/impressive – and maybe only if you’re a hacker at heart…
It seems that it took some curious iPhone users only 3 days to hack an iphone firmware image and discover the encrypted root password and then to crack it. The super-geeky [...]
