iPhone 2G and 3G with firmware 2.0 can now be jailbroken. Currently, the iPhone Pwnage Tool is using Cydia, the Installer.app alternative. But, will Cydia replace Installer? No. The RiP Dev Team is now working on the new version of Installer.app that will work on firmware 2.0. They posted a few screenshots on their site. It feels like “another AppStore”. I love the simply it gives. In the near future, we will have “3 AppStore” in iPhone: Official AppStore, unofficial Cydia and unofficial Installer.

    When you use Google search, sometimes you will see the sponsored links on the top of the result. Since you are searching with Google, you suppose those sponsored links are safe. But, it is not. When you are typing “FrostWire” in Google, you will find the sponsored links from Official-Downloads.net on top of the result. After you clicked it, the site looks legit and asks you to pay for the software.

    But, the truth is, FrostWire is free. The official site is FrostWire.com rather than Official-Downloads.net. Take a look of detailed explanation in the video. Although the sponsored links is removed now, you can’t believe it happens on Google search, right? This also hurts other advertisers sincke users may not want to click the sponsored links again.

    I accept frequent downtime of Twitter, but I don’t really accept this. Twitter makes their users lost all their followers. There are lots of angry Twitter users reporting this problem. But, Twitter said they cannot recover all the followers you had. They can just try to restore to a earlier version. What a shame.

    We talked a lot about other Twitter competitor, and this is how Twitter is really failed this time. I am pretty sure it will lost a very huge amount of users for this serious problem. You know, it takes lots of time to raise the number of followers.

    I know the number is not huge, but I just want to make sure everyone knows what happened. Twitter suddenly removed more than 70 followers from my account, leaving there are only 10 followers today. Now,some readers follow my tweet again.

    But, there are still at least 10 followers missed from my account comparing to the yesterday’s reading. This is totally unacceptable. I don’t want to lose any readers because of technical problems. I will try to find another good social feed tools for instant tech news, any suggestions?  By the time being, please follow my tweet again.

    The video sharing site Vimeo have decided not to allow gaming videos upload. You won’t be able to know how to play the game from Vimeo. Those gaming videos that has been uploaded will be removed very soon. The reason? Because it wastes their space and not a creative expression.

    A good video sharing site should not block gaming videos. Let’s switch to YouTube, Break, Funnyordie and other great video sharing site available on the internet. Vimeo seems still need to learn a lot from YouTube.
