One last chance to wring the truth out of this madman, folks. What should Jon ask him?

snydeq writes "Microsoft followed up its Windows Azure unveiling by announcing that it will deliver lightweight versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote through the browser, a la Google Apps. Surprisingly, Office Web applications will run in Firefox and Safari, not just Internet Explorer. Far less shocking: You won't get Office Web apps free and clear as you do Google apps. The apps are meant to be an extension to locally installed instances of the next version of Microsoft Office, the same way Outlook Web Access provides access to mail without the fat Outlook client."

We knew
good and well Microsoft was gearing up to drop a pre-beta release of
Windows 7 in developers' laps at its Professional Developers Conference, but now we're being treated to a host of details from Redmond itself. For starters, it's showing off (for the first time, mind you) its new Web applications for Office. As you'd expect, said apps are "lightweight versions of Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote that are used from within standard web browsers." According to Ray Ozzie, chief software architect at Microsoft, it's aiming to bring "the best of the web to Windows, and the best of Windows to the web." 'Course, we're also told about improved navigation, a new taskbar (preview shown), support for multi-touch gestures,
Device Stage and enhanced AV integration -- all things that have our interest decidedly piqued. Hit the read link for the full spill direct from the horse's mouth.

I still can't believe how many people believed yiPhone. It's amazing how a couple lines of javascript(the counter) can piss so many people off. I was just trying to push dev to work a little harder ;-)
I have never done the jailbreaks for any previous versions of the phone, what makes you think this one would be different? I also like to think I have more honor than using someone elses exploit before they do. And really, who was the mascot in the picture? Yorro? Once he exists, maybe yiPhone will exist.
Also, heres why a certain person claimed the DFU was the key. You could, without any exploits, upload the 114 iBoot(even to the 3g), the 114 kernelcache(ok, this crashes on the 3g), and a hacked ramdisk. But the filesystems don't mount. And even if they did, you'd need a way around sig checking.
Here is a little program(with source of course) to run whatever you want at the DFU level; an implementation of the dev pwnage 2.0 exploit. Pass it a binary file, it will start executing at the start of the file(no file formats to deal with). I'll leave it to dev to explain the exploit used.

Hi!
Proudly presenting you the new beta of
Installer -
4.0b6.
New and changed:
- Search. It searches among packages from the repositories you have added, and, if you let it sit for 5 seconds, will query our server and return packages that are available from repositories you don't have added (that we know about) with an option to automatically add and install. Repository owners, upgrade to the latest version of the repo code (below) to have your repository added to the search engine.
- Uninstall now works correctly.
- Fixed a lot of locking issues especially with custom HTML info pages.
- Updated the Categories and Tasks icons so they are less ugly.
- Fixed a bug with multiple copies of Installer appearing in Installed Packages under some circumstances.
- Installer will now correctly check and prompt for an update of itself.
Also, to accompany the Installer release, a new edition of the Repository code is up. Grab it here:
repo-r1114.zipWhat's new in the repo code?
- Added an option to ping the Installer search server so it reindexes your repository. The ping occurs during regenerate.php run.
- Much better handling of ZIP archives, since this is what most people had troubles with. It now attempts to determine which way to use to unzip your files (PEAR::ZipArchive, zip_open or shell_exec("unzip")). Please note that we didn't test zip_open piece of the code as we don't have a server with that plugin compiled in PHP.
- DOMDocument::load() should work under PHP4. We hope.
- Slightly better handling of the multiple versions of the same package.
How to upgrade? Simply replace regenerate.php with the new one, and add new configuration parameters from config.inc.default.php to your config.inc.php. There are two: REPOSITORY_URL, that should have a full path to your repo (with a trailing slash), and ZIP_CMDLINE_PATH (only add this if needed). Refer to config.inc.default.php for the descriptions and copy-paste goodness.
Don't forget to regenerate your repositories once upgraded, and also don't forget to put 2.0.2 into POSSIBLE_FIRMWARE_VERSIONS array so people on the new firmware can see your packages!
Thanks. :)
