However, I have never used this service and I have not heard anything else from my normal sources on this jailbreak being tested and ready to go, so I would not download it right now, but instead keep my ears open for the… Read More
iOS5.0.1 could give legal access to Siri on older iphones I’m not fully convinced here, but the general talk around in interwebs is that the oversite of leaving vfdecrype key in the unencrypted ramdisk basically means its fair play.

Siri will not give you directions to an abortion clinic; purpose programming or bad dataset? Found this story from a tweet. Seems that when you ask Siri for an abortion clinic, it will say it can not find any, or send you to a CPC clinic, (Anti-abortion clinic). This has been reproduced many times so its not a glitch based on location or timing thing. The question now is; was… Read More

Funny iphone4s Siri replies. Proof enough there are a few Easter Eggs in Siri. I’m sure this list will grow, but I came across these reading Ultrasnow. I think my favorite Siri reply so far has to be the first one. “I need to hide a body”, ‘what kind of place are you looking for? and its lists reservoirs, metal foundries, mines, dumps, swamps. This HAS to be… Read More

Also, no surprise, there is not baseband support yet, I expect this will be a bit more complicated given the new way iphone4S is using antennas, but still doable. Now we have be clear about something. The iPhone4s is running the new… Read More
