We continued to be amazed at the incredible amount of product development coming from Bosch Accessories. These guys are systematically reinventing all the basic accessories we use everyday and coming out with some really cool new products.
Recently the Bosch Big Blue Team spent the day at Ohio Power Tool and one of the new products that really impressed a lot of people were the DareDevil Spade Bits. Most people don’t think about their spade bits that much and just buy whatever is cheapest at the local big box. The new Bosch spade bits however are almost like a different tool. The DareDevil bit pulls itself through wood without any effort at all which really makes repetitive drilling significantly easier especially at an angle or overhead.
The key to this performance is the patented design of the bit itself. Many of the other wood drilling products come with a threaded tip for fast smooth feeding. A first for spades,
Bosch has incorporated a full cone threaded tip,
which has increased not only the speed of the bit, but also the ease of drilling. Another patented feature of the DareDevil is the contoured paddle. This wave-like shape speeds up chip removal, adding to the speed of the bit. The combination of these two features creates astonishing results. In independent testing, the DareDevil was 2.4x faster and required 53% less force than the Irwin Blue Groove*.
It doesn’t end there. While spade bits are not expected to produce anything beyond average hole quality, the DareDevil is not your average spade bit. The patented spur and reamer design is unique in that it not only scores the wood for a clean entry hole, but also has angled cutting edges that ream the hole for reduced breakout, leaving a cleaner exit hole than any competitive bit.
Ohio Power Tool has the individual DareDevil Bits in-stock with full kits coming in the next few weeks. Watch the YouTube video below and see how much easier the DareDevil goes through wood than the Irwin Blue Groove, the most popular spade bit prior to the Bosch DareDevil launch.

How was your Thanksgiving? What a wonderful American tradition…time for taking stock of the abundance so many of us are blessed with. And it’s the gateway to the holiday season, a time for enjoying family, friends, and–of course–food. Holidays are also a time when a kitchen appliance breakdown can be catastrophic. Pity the poor host [...]

Apologies for being so silent over the past weeks. There are no real excuses, other than being totally swamped with various work on all fronts that we've been doing... and hopefully you'll be able to see them soon.
Now, what's new?
Installer 4.0b8 is out (it's been ready for a while and even included in the last PwnageTool but we were holding off to releasing it publically). Among notable features is the switch to libcurl from the stock Foundation URL loading classes, which means more lightweight CPU and memory footprint and, more importantly, resumable file transfers. The new beta also features a plethora of little fixes which we won't extensively list here. Enjoy. We'll be pushing out a 4.0 release soonish...
The featured page you see when you launch Installer is actually automatically generated based on the popularity of the packages (based on the number of installations across the board), so it's nothing like the "old" featured page that listed a set of pre-defined products. It will eventually have some "sponsored" products, but they will be easily distinguishable visually and we'll try to keep the amount of these to the minimum - no more than 3.
Community Sources are updated as well to reflect the change in the modmyi.com domain name and to remove some outdated sources that shown promise but actually never delivered anything.
Kate update been out for a while, and we're finally at adding new features to it - so look for a non-bugfix release in the near future.
If you're a software publisher and would like to be hosted in Installer - please
let us know and we'll do all the work for creating proper install scripts and hosting on our server (which has a few spare terabytes of bandwidth).
Moreover, thank you for staying with us and supporting us along the way - it couldn't been done without you!

So how did I manage to FIX the problem I mentioned earlier? The reason I was so vague on the details is that I used a confidential iBoot vulnerability that we didn't want Apple to know even existed! This allowed me to bootstrap openiboot directly from a stock iBSS that was loaded through DFU mode. I still can't tell you exactly what it is, but since geohot already leaked the existence of it, I figure I can tell you it exists and is what I used. :)
Then, it was a simple matter of using openiboot's NOR engine to restore everything. I even can use the new image list parser and AES engine to have a very nice high level interface to the image list, allowing me to "pwn" just with openiboot; no ramdisk futzing around!
The AES code has been in SVN for awhile, but to anyone following jailbreaking news, it's probably obvious why I suddenly, out of the blue, decided to reverse it and write it. Haha. So the night that I committed the AES code, is the night the Dev Team first decrypted the new img3 shit. :)
