iPhone Dev-Team has just released Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta 4 with a major change as the reds0w no longer requires you to install and run a separate program for the usbmux which caused a lot of confusion with the jailbreak process.

Starting with this version, redsn0w no longer requires you to install and run a separate program for the usbmux (this was a non-trivial procedure for many). It’s okay to keep that program running if you normally use it for ssh anyway. We also think we’ve fixed a race condition in the GUI that was causing redsn0w to crash during the “Preparing JB Monte Files” step. Nothing at all has changed on the iPhone side (where the main issues are still just Bluetooth and Skype).

As the Dev-Team mentioned in the above quotation, so far, this version is still causing problems with Bluetooth and Skype. Now you have to follow our full step by step guide (Skip step 4) to untethered jailbreak your iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad.

In an extremely shocking report, is it now clear that Facebook has topped Google as the most visited site of 2010. This is very shocking to beat Google because it is a search engine, and many people visit it to search up their topics almost everyday. Is it possible that social networking has topped the #1 search engine?


In 2010, Facebook has accumulated some 8.93% of the site visits online, but Google only accumulated 7.19% followed by the leading video viewing site Youtube with 3.52%. So if you do combine Youtube and Google, the percentage does beat Facebook.

In 2009, Facebook has only reached third place on the top sites visited charts, but it was assumed that Facebook did try to move up one place this year, but many didn't expect to hit the top of the charts. In other news, Facebook has also been the most searched for in phrases or terms. Will Facebook still be the most visited in 2011?
Above is a picture of sites that were top visited over 2009 and 2010. So, what do you think? [TheNextWeb]

A new hacker team called fail0verflow was able to find a new way to jailbreak PS3, the team was able to make a small presentation at the Chaos Communication Congress which has been held in Berlin recently. The hackers team announced that they had been able to break PS security in a missive way.

Fail0verflow discovered how to calculate the security keys needed to sign off on any piece of software which essentially makes the keys to the security gate for the PS public.

What these techy words mean? This new hack will allow you to burn any game to a Blu-ray disc, this hack was successfully run on any PS3 with any version of firmware.
Fail0verflow mentioned that its goal is to allow Linux to be run on PS3. so this looks more effective than PSJailbreak, what do you think?  [via SlashGear]
