Hacked IPhone For Sale

a seventeen years old students has succeeded unlocking IPhone and he provide his steps on his blog. Right now, he's trying to sell the IPhone via EBay, but he's stuck with some problems, so he wanted to sell it to the highest bidder. Interested? I wonder what will the price be after it has been unlocked

It's quite interesting, since he even post a photo of soft drink cans that were spent while he was unlocking the IPhone. Right now, he can finish the process within two hours, but he's not going to open unlocking services

Manually Updating PHPMyAdmin

Few days ago, i have downloaded PHPMyAdmin 2.10.0 and the next day, they released an update which contains only one changes in how PHPMyAdmin should connect to the MySQL Server (whether it should use SSL or not). The default value for the 2.10.0 version is True, which causes some problems on some servers, so they wanted to be changed to False and they did change that with the release of 2.10.0.1.

Instead of having to re-download all of the application, i can update the application manually, because all i have to do is just edit the config.inc.php file and set the value into False and that's it. But wait. The version will need to be updated also, so i start searching for files which set the version of the application and finally i found it. It's in Config.class.php file. There's where the version is stored. I changed it into 2.10.1 and it's completely an updated version of PHPMyAdmin :D

Running Windows XP on 7 MHz

Microsoft said that the minimum requirement to run Windows XP are CPU with 233 MHz an 64 MB of RAM, but some people in Germany had tried to beat that official requirement by trying to install and run Windows XP in the most minimum specification and they made it even though it's very time consuming (but they deserve to receive the The golden Sandclock Award For extreme waste of time for their efforts).

After five efforts, they can install Windows XP and finally reduce the spec until they can reach 7 MHz and 20 MB of RAM. The boot time took about 30 minutes (which is normal under that kind of specs), but everything is working just fine (Of course the CPU is at 100% all the time, there is no real idle mode). I guess Microsoft had to revise their official minimum specification to run Windows XP after they see this experiments :D

Here's the screenshot of the most minimum specs:
