Update: I will write another guide for updating iPhone to 1.1.3 using this official tool.
I reported it’s Nate True’s personal decision to release the 1.1.3 Jailbreak tool himself. That was not from iPhone Dev Team. Someone said Nate True is kicked out from the team, while other people are rushed to update its iPhone to 1.1.3. Nate True’s tool may contain some copyrighted material and the decrypt key, and that could be the main reason why iPhone Dev Team feel so unhappy about his decision.
iPhone Dev Team now releases the tool officially. The tool is not as easy as Nate True’s one. And the team didn’t say the differences between their official tool with Nate True’s one. You need more skills to use the official tool. I am now trying it to see the differences, and if you have skills and not afraid of bricking iPhone, you may also try by downloading the packages here.
Ever wonder the relationship between you and Google. Here is the best graphic. Google knows it all, my friend.

Despite people are saying MacBook Air is not that good, there’s some fans. Meredith Viera of NBC Today Show just love it. And lick it. (At 02:03). In this show, no wonder the crowd saying it looks gorgeous and thin. It really looks great when you have touched it.
This is the video showing you the so-called Windows 7 Milestone. From start to the end, all things looks like Vista. The thing apparently different is the About dialog. It looks too fake, my dear. No wonder why the ratings go so low.
The jailbreak method for iPhone 1.1.3 is released. It is not a complete update to 1.1.3 but just soft-update. You will still get 1.1.2 baseband on 1.1.3 firmware. Anyway, you can enjoy those great features of 1.1.3. But, there are things you need to know after upgrading to 1.1.3. Solution included for some cases.
Note soft-upgrade for iPhone only tested under bootloader 3.9, OTB iPhone 1.1.2 or higher (of boorloader 4.6) may not work.
(for mac only)
This guide will NOT work for newly bought U.S. iPhone (4.6 Bootloader) and UK iPhone. (OTB iPhone 1.1.2 or higher) It will only work for iPhone with bootloader 3.9 (that is out of the box iPhone 1.1.1 or lower).
I uses Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 and iTunes 7.6.
Backup everything in case something goes wrong. You are taking your own risk to jailbreak your iPhone. If you are not really sure how to do it, stop now. There is no one responsible but only you, if the iPhone bricks.
Note this guide only soft-upgrades your iPhone to 1.1.3, which means the baseband remains at 04.02.13_G (which is from 1.1.2) and NOT upgraded to 04.03.13_G.
EDIT: Picture updated. I can confirm it works. My iPhone is now unlocked at 1.1.3 (with 1.1.2 baseband) and jailbroken. anySIM 1.2.1u seems survive after upgraded to 1.1.3. I have restarted it a few times and it still works 100%. I will try to downgrade and upgrade to 1.1.3 again to see whether it really works. There are still some minor problem (ringtone is not working, Google Map not working well, etc.). I am trying to find some guide to fix it. I am now writing a complete upgrade guide here. Be sure to check back after few hours.
Note the baseband remains at 04.02.13_G which is actually comes from iPhone 1.1.2. so your iPhone is upgraded to 1.1.3, but baseband is not upgraded.
I and many other tech blogs reported the iPhone Dev Team will only release the jailbreak method of iPhone 1.1.3 after Apple releases the SDK. But it seems not the case. Nate True releases the 1.1.3 jailbreak tool on cre.ations.net. There is Windows and Mac version available. hackint0sh users said Nate True is kicked out from the hacking team, while some others said he is not. I need some time to find out the truth of Nate True and what’s going on here.
No matter Nate True is kicked out from the team or not, this is a damn good news to users. Oh. One more thing. There are lots of people found their trick to unlock iPhone 1.1.3 and the trick is pretty simple. I will try to jailbreak and upgrade my iPhone to 1.1.3 now, stay tuned to know what it would be. And of course, I will write a guide if things go well.
If you don’t want to wait and try it now, you may take a look of this thread and also this thread. Users managed to use the trick to unlock and have a Happy iPhone 1.1.3.
Note the jailbreak and unlock trick is not easy. If you are not comfortable, don’t do it now. Stay in 1.1.2. Please also note the current methods only work for out of the box iPhone 1.1.1 or lower (that is bootloader 3.9). No working guide for OTB 1.1.2 or higher

No doubt Digg.com is a popular community site. And the recent change seems make the whole community angry. You need over 200 Diggs in order to get on top of the front page. (and for just few minutes…). If you are lucky enough, the site will go over 200 Diggs and stays on the top. Previously, you only need 50+ votes to be appeared in the front page.
Getting 200 Diggs for submitted stories is not easy. Take a look of upcoming page of Digg.com, the stories are rolling very fast. Only if you have a lot of friends or readers of your site, (like Engadget) it seems not so possible to become the popular story of Digg. This explains why many popular stories are from famous sites like Engadget, Gizmodo, TorrentFreak, Wired, etc.
I am not an expert of Digg and there is only 2 stories (595 dugg here and the other one have 894 dugg. 
) of winandmac.com is heavily dugg. But Instead of having petition, I think we should think so positive way to deal with it. So here is the following 5 ways I think it may work (You are welcomed to leave comments to discuss your positive ways):
Do you write diary everyday? Pocket Finance Diary is the book for writing your finance record everyday. This program have a clear interface to show the income, expenses and total. It uses database files for storing entries which means will not hurt the registry. Unlike other professional finance software, Pocket Finance Diary only needs to input the amount, type (income or expenses) and date when adding new records. No complicated and unknown functions in this program.
