iPhone/iPod Touch Pwnage tool 2.0 not going as planned.

pwnagetool.jpg

Looks like the iPhone Dev Team’s widely awaited Pwnage 2.0 tool isn’t as good and easy to use as anticipated. There are major problems attempting to put iPhones into DFU mode - something which is necessary for it to work.

Another serious problem involves the inability to launch the app - with only the bouncing and apparent menu bar appearing when the icon is clicked. -Ed.

ALL online Apple Stores down…

What do you know? Every single Apple online store site is down, and we’re hoping it’s for the 3G iPhone. But all of them? This surely means that there will be a mass roll out of the long awaited (and perhaps even non-existent, however unlikely) device. Expect roll-out of the iPhone 3G in definitely more than 15 countries.

[UPDATE: Yes, it was the iPhone 3G - and we were definitely right about the more than 15 countries - 22!]

Internet Explorer 8 Beta now available

We were all baffled here at TechnoEssence when we heard that Internet Explorer 8 was available to download.

They seem to be really caught up with their Standards Compliant Acid 2 Compatibility. That’s good, but being a web designer, that’s what I’m interested in. You might not care nor know what the hell that is.

Things that you might even be remotely interested are: More…
