Jailbreakers rejoice!

GreenPoison has just release Absinthe 2.0 which will jailbreak (untethered) your iDevice if it runs iOS 5.1.1. This jailbreak tool works with all devices (The New iPad and iPhone 4s included) running iOS 5.1.1. so if you’re on a lower version, make sure you update. However, be ware if you have a locked device and want to preserve your unlock, you’ll need a custom IPSW which can be created with RedSnow. Look for the internet for a lot of tutorials on how can this be achieved.

Once your iDevice is updated to 5.1.1. head over to the Absinthe site and download Absinthe (Windows/Mac/Linux). Then, plug in your iDevice, launch Absinthe, click “Jailbreak,” and wait for Absinthe to complete the jailbreak.

Diablo 3 Secret (Whimsyshire) Level

Diablo 3 players have uncovered a secret level just a few days after the game launched.It’s named: Whimsyshire and, as you can see in the screenshot below, it’s a very colorful level, nothing that you would expect to see in Sanctuary.

The portal to Whimsyshire can be found in Act 1 provided that you’ve collected the right ingredients. Check out THIS link to see what is needed to unlock it.

Get ready for Diablo 3 today!

The day has come! After 12 years, Diablo 3 will launch tonight (15 May 2012 – at 00:00). If you’ve preoredered the game and got the digital copy, you may encounter an error (AN UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURED WHILE…) when trying to install the game. To fix this, just go into your Battle Net account and redownload the game installer. Then, run it and point it to the location of your previously downloaded Diablo 3 install files and the installer will download another couple of MB of data and then you’re good to go.

Enjoy the game once is launched and let me know your battle tag if you want to play online!

How to disable external HDD Sleep (spin down) on a Jtag/RGH Modded Xbox 360 Console

If you’ve got an external USB HDD that goes to sleep in a couple of mins of inactivity and for some games you play off that HDD you get the “unable to read disc” error because of this, there’s fix for you.

• Download Dashlaunch 2.28 or later (Google for it) and install/update following THIS tutorial.
• Once installed, look for the launch.ini file on your HDD and add the following two command lines (without 1 or 2):

1. hddalive = true
2. hddtimer = 210 (where this number represents the seconds interval at which your HDD will be polled with random 16 bytes of data in a text file.

• Save your launch.ini file. (CTRL+S in Windows).
• Open your HDD and create a .txt file on it named alive.txt

This is it. Now you’ll see that your HDD won’t spin down anymore and you’ll notice strange characters, letters and numbers being written on it at the interval you’ve setup in the alive.txt file on your external HDD.

Enjoy and feel free to share with your friends or others who need this!

2011 in review

Happy New Year to all the readers that made the below possible! See you all in 2012!

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 33,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 12 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Dropbox. A simple way to keep your files in sync

Most of you might already know what Dropbox is but for those who do not, Dropbox it’s the file synchronization/backup service that you have been thinking/dreaming about. The most basic use of dropbox would have you install the Dropbox client on 2 computers and the contents of your Dropbox folder would synchronize automatically between them. No need to remember to upload or download the latest copy. No forgetting your thumbdrive, or forgetting to burn that file to CD/DVD. The latest version of your file will be on any computer attached to your account, automatically.

Here a couple of the features that Dropbox will provide when you sign up:

• 2GB of Dropbox for free, with subscriptions up to 100GB available.
• Your files are always available from the secure Dropbox website.
• Dropbox works with Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.
• Works even when offline. You always have your files, whether or not you have a connection.
• Dropbox transfers just the parts of a file that change (not the whole thing).
• Manually set bandwidth limits — Dropbox won’t hog your connection.

If you want an extra 250MB of storage when you join Dropbox, use my referral HERE. Using this when you sign up will give both of us an extra 250MB of cloud storage with Dropbox.

Tell us what is your opinion of the service that Dropbox provides and what would you like to see different.

Fix Home Button Problem on iPhone 4. Re-calibrate it.

Most of you already know what this problem is about so I will not go into details but here’s a trick that might help you solve the “home button problem” on your iPhone 4. The trick is 100% safe and it should work for you too. Here it is:

• Unlock your iDevice, open an application and press and hold the Lock/Power button until the Turn of your phone slider show’s up.
• Release the Lock button and gently press the Home button and hold it pressed for 5-10 seconds until the Springboard shows up.

This should re-calibrate your home button and you should have it working again.

Let me know if this technique worked for you in the comments section.
