The Chronic Dev Team announced that Apple is closing five key exploits the creation of the untethered jailbreak of iOS 5 through a new system of automatic reporting of errors, the pot calling helps users to continue their work. If we speak of Joshua Hill will probably not say anything but the name is the developer behind the nick pOsixninja, one of the most active of the iPhone jailbreak scene. It was the latter that published some of the five key exploits jailbreak iOS 5 have been closed by Apple in the latest update, which has slowed the team’s work is part of.

Hackers seek help from users of the jailbreak
However, Hill and other members of the Chronic Dev Team have not given up and thought the same weapons used by Apple to achieve its goal with the help of other users of the jailbreak. The proposal is simple, instead of going solo playing the game of cat and mouse with Apple, have decided to use the same reporting system IOS device error and keep the information. This has prepared an application to the IOS device to connect to the computer and the touch of a button creates a copy of all these error reports are typically sent Apple and passed into the hands of the Chronic Dev Team, which also makes an adjustment Apple iTunes to not return to receive.

Currently the software is only available for Mac but the Windows version is being developed and will be available within hours.

You’ve got to hand it to IBM’s engineers. They drag themselves into work after their company’s 100th birthday party, pop a few Alka-Seltzers and then promptly announce yet another seismic invention. This time it’s a new kind of phase change memory (PCM) that reads and writes 100 times faster than flash, stays reliable for millions of write-cycles (as opposed to just thousands with flash), and is cheap enough to be used in anything from enterprise-level servers all the way down to mobile phones. PCM is based on a special alloy that can be nudged into different physical states, or phases, by controlled bursts of electricity.
In the past, the technology suffered from the tendency of one of the states to relax and increase its electrical resistance over time, leading to read errors. Another limitation was that each alloy cell could only store a single bit of data. But IBM employees burn through problems like these on their cigarette breaks: not only is their latest variant more reliable, it can also store four data bits per cell, which means we can expect a data storage “paradigm shift” within the next five years. Combine this with Intel’s promised 50Gbps interconnect, which has a similar ETA, and data will start flowing faster than booze from an open bar on the boss’s tab.

HeyWire, a service developed by MediaFriends that offers a free SMS service is debuting its Facebook App that will allow Facebook users to send both texts and Tweets via SMS (from a real phone number) from within Facebook.

Via the new HeyWire Facebook App, Facebook users can text worldwide without any per messaging fees and Tweet via SMS from within Facebook. Here’s how it works. Similar to other free texting apps, HeyWire users are given a real phone number to send and receive unlimited texts with friends and family worldwide.

Users can send messages via the HeyWire Facebook App or the HeyWire apps for iOS and Android devices. Texting conversations actually follow users from the HeyWire Facebook App to their smartphone apps, which is useful. Of course, this comes with a price. HeyWire is charging users 20 Facebook Credits (around $2.00) per month, for a U.S. phone number with unlimited texting from within Facebook to any mobile phone in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and to most mobile phones in China, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Honestly, if I’m on Facebook, I’m probably just going to message my friends as opposed to using a text message, so I’m dubious as to the large-scale value of the new app. And if I do use Facebook’s messaging system, I can continue those messages on an iPhone or Android phone via Facebook’s app or the mobile web.

HeyWire recently partnered with Twitter to launch a worldwide service, called HeyTweet, that allows users to send free tweets via mobile SMS.
