Pictures of jailbroken iPad2 with iOS 5.1

i0n1c post pictures of hes jailbroken iPad2 with iOS 5.1 on twitter before half an hour.

So we can expect jailbreak as soon as it gets applied to all 5.1 capable devices.

New Design

I changed a little the design of the blog with a nice semitransparent theme with a smooth wooden background. Since the technology is getting ahead i expanded horizontal resolution of the posts a little so now a minimum requirement for viewing the blog is 1024x768 resolution (it was 800x600) in desktop mode. Mobile version resolution requirements are not changed and will display well on all mobile devices.

I hope you like it.

Tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1 - NON A5 Devices

Facts about technology news

If you follow my blog you will see that my descryption of iPad 2 and iPhone 4S is very accurate (hardware wise). Also I have informed you that iOS 4.3 will be out in the middle of march. Well i am off by 4 days. Other bloggers and news sites said many dates in february which were wrong. Probably it is because everyone copy news from everyone, and noone reserach and check with sources what they write anymore. And what are the consequances from this? The readers read certain untrue news from an "trustworthy" blog/site and they believe it. The so called trustworthy sites publish untrue news which for me means only one thing that they lie to people about these things. They are just partly guilty about this because they copy the false news from another sites and blogs and social networks and just rewrite the BS they post. This is not journalism it is gossip dependent publishing. I want to move your view to a recent news articles which flood news sites, the news which state Foxconn worker speed details about the new iPhone - every time when worker spreads the news about any apple related hardware it is a false info. We have seen very similar false informations about iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, and now they start for iPhone 5. Next thing will be cases produced by chinese companies ... and so on, and so on. Same thing happens every time, and lame journalists copy the false info all over internet.
