Yesterday on GeoHot’s website he made reference to what seems to be a new program he is working on that will jailbreak all devices running 3.1 firmware by stating, “and prepare to meet the program that will jailbreak them all.”
In later comments he goes on to say that it is in no way affiliated with greenpois0n and is actually a different jailbreak than he previously released purplera1n. While it might be different he does promise that it will still be a 10 second jailbreak and “may work for every version of software *ever*, based on the…
Sesame Street does a very good job of staying current. I remember as I was growing up, Sesame Street attempted to find ways to keep the audience appealed even as they were growing. When I was kid I remember just caring about learning how to count with The Count and how to control greed with Cookie Monster. As I grew up and became more into sports, I noticed that David Robinson was in an episode of Sesame Street and taught Big Bird how to tie his shoe.
Now Sesame Street is taking a page out of Apple’s book by using an iPod-inspired video to encourage people to dance. Apple takes their marketing very seriously so I would not be surprised if this video clip had to clear the company’s legal department.
Jimmy Kimmel made a Sesame Street spoof where Ernie and Cookie Monster explained the Bernie Madoff scheme back in March and it went viral on YouTube, reaching nearly one million views.

AT&T has changed their mind about disallowing iPhone VoIP applications. Now VoIP applications will be able to run on AT&T’s 3G network. This includes Vonage and Skype. Before Skype and Vonage were only allowed to operate on WiFi hotspots. This limits where you can use the applications.
One of the reasons why AT&T may have decided to let down their guard is because the FCC is investigating why Google Voice has been rejected multiple times. Will this make it more likely for Google Voice to be approved? Nope.
Apple did not reject Google Voice for VoIP reasons, but because it “appears to alter the iPhone’s distinctive user experience by replacing the iPhone’s core mobile telephone functionality and Apple user interface with its own user interface for telephone calls, text messaging and voicemail.”
Will AT&T end up paying less? Perhaps the telecommunications company will require customers to have minimum contracts to make sure that they don’t lose too much money from allowing VoIP services.
