Some very clever geeks have fully cracked the Apple iPhone. It was previous unlocked as a camera and MP3 player, but now it can be completely unlocked and used as a phone on any network. We knew it wouldn’t take very long.
The new method of unlocking does require you to purchase a TurboSIM card from Bladox for about $80 but surprise, surprise they are now out of stock!!
Bladox claim on their forum that the TurboSIM unlock seems to be the easiest and most efficient way of unlocking your iPhone wherever you are, including Canada, Europe, Australia, or Asia.
The actual process of unlocking the iPhone is not going to be easy for any technophobe, check out the instructions below which were originally posted by Zf_ on Bladox’s forum.
First, your phone must be activated (with the AT&T SIM), jailbreaked, and with SSH and vim. Refer to previous tutorials to do that
- Download the port of Bladox utilities http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/show…5&postcount=16 on your computer, extract it on your computer (you need the binary file turbo-app)
- Download AppleSaft 0.92 from Bladox (see the link on their forum, don’t remember it), extract it on your computer (you need the .trb file)
- Turn on your phone with Turbo SIM + AT&T subscription
- Disable CommCenter – ssh to your phone, vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist addCode:
Disabled
for example add it just after these lines, already present in the fileCode:
OnDemand
If you don’t like vim, you can do this modification on your desktop computer (iPhuc/iPhoneInterface getfile, modify the file, and putfile)
vim ultra light survival kit
i : insert mode
ESC : command mode (from insert mode)
dd : delete the current line (in command mode)
:w! : save (in command mode)
:q! : quit (in command mode)- Reboot
- Copy turbo-app to your phone (for example in /opt/bladox)
- Copy applesaft.trb to your phone (for example in /tmp)
- ssh to your phone, set the executable permission to turbo-app (chmod a+x /opt/bladox/turbo-app) and run it with /opt/bladox/turbo-app /tmp/applesaft.trb. It should take approximately 30 seconds and you shouldn’t see any error. Please panic if you see one
- Reenable CommCenter – ssh to your phone, vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist and delete the lines you added previously
- Reboot
- Go into Settings/Phone/SIM Applications/Apple Saft and choose Set
- Turn off your phone
- Turn on your phone with Turbo SIM + your subscription and test

The launch of the open source Firefox 3 web browser has set the new Guinness World Record for the largest number of software downloads in 24 hours. Mozilla’s mirrors served 8,002,530 complete, individual downloads during the download day event following the official release of Firefox 3 last month.
Well, first it was a rumor, then an unconfirmed report, and now it’s a deal. Microsoft is buying Powerset.
Microsoft confirmed the acquisition Tuesday on its Live Search blog.
“We’re excited to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to acquire Powerset, a San Francisco-based search and natural language company,” the company said in the blog posting. Powerset workers will join Microsoft’s core search relevance team and remain based in San Francisco. The company said that Powerset’s technology will complement existing natural language processing work being done inside Microsoft’s research unit.
The rumored pending acquisition of search engine maker Powerset by Microsoft is still not officially confirmed. The news was first leaked by VentureBeat on June 26. The online publication claimed that the purchase price will be more than $100 million.
