Jailbreak iOS 7: The Long Wait

What's been happening with the guys at Evad3rs? Either they've been stuck coding at some island, broke up with their girlfriends over at Comicon or just trying to evade the angry hoard of iPhone users still waiting for their next big jailbreak?

So really what's taking them so long? Without jailbreaking, Apple devices are just over-hyped products with a leash, you bought it and you can't entirely say you own the thing or enjoy its full range of functionality unless Apple says so. That said, Apple is a control freak when it comes to its latest and greatest. Apple will not allow root access to its consumers, which is why over a million users scour the net for the latest jailbreak.

The Codfather Slot Machine Game at Lunacasino: Online Casino Games

Any top-notch Consigliere should try out his slot machine luck with the Codfather.

The Codfather, from SkillOnNet is a new online casino game you can play on Lunacasino!  A cross between the classic Sicilian-themed movie featuring Al Pacino and Marlon Brando and a gangster-style Under the Sea theme, The Codfather is one way to win the jackpot... like a BOSS!

Lunacasino continues to expand along with the expectations of its clients with the release of a new online casino slots game, The Codfather!  A 3 X 5 reel online slots game, the Codfather can be played activating between 1 to 20 paylines and offers 10 free games as you play along this murky underworld in fishy, Sicilian style.  Read on for more details on how you can play like a BOSS with a 60% BONUS!

The Codfather is one of four games released by prolific online casino game author SkillOnNet.  The online casino game developer was first to market The Codfather along with three other titles that are soon going to be launched: Spanish Eyes (for release on July 19th), Emperor’s Garden (July 26th) and Teddy Bear’s Picnic (August 2nd)—making The Codfather the freshest among all the new online casino games out there.

What makes The Codfather unique?  Apart from its out of this world theme, smooth graphics and game play make the whole experience a—pardon the pun—immersive one.  For starters, The Codfather’s music that’s played on loop is a zany rendition of the Sicilian Gangster theme that gives character to the original Godfather series.  Also, the game goes even further by providing animation that prevents an otherwise mechanical game that can be set on auto spin. If you play online casino slots for example, the online slot machine’s wild card symbol is, of course, the Codfather, an angry-looking gangster fish, but whenever he appears on the reels, he gets animated doing a gesture that is haughty, beneficent and admonishing all at the same time.  Literally the creature feature of the game, the Codfather wildcard appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and should be something you should hope for as a player.

The Codfather also features ten free games that triples your prizes and 5 Big Boss Bonuses, a current of wins that’s sure to sweep you towards a solid

Not only the graphics, sound and game play are of note in this slots game, it has brilliant details such as message line on the bottom of the reels that dishes out a lot of advice on how to play and what symbols you should watch out for, but also witty puns that are both true to theme and funny.  Here are a few examples:

“When the Codfather speaks... you’d better listen.”

Or, “The Codfather knows how to return a favour.” 

And finally, among other quotes, “Have you got the gills for the game?”   

This is a good sign that SkillOnNet is not only about putting up the usual bells and whistles on their online casino games, but are actually working towards strong, tight themes in their game output.  The Codfather is definitely a good choice for Lunacasino.

Don’t forget to cash in before play by putting in the code BOSS for a 60% bonus!

iPhone Jailbreak

Apple is just hard up on the idea iPhone users want to break free of their reins. Users want choices, not a monopoly of the same sample platter of apps for their phones. 

There are great apps out there from independent app developers who don't cost a lot compared to buying on iTunes.

So what's the Right Way to go about Things?
Do you have time to stick around and read instructions? Jailbreaking is fairly easy, 30 mins to an hour, you can get it done. But always back your data though there is no risk on the iPhone itself, you lose no basic functions by jailbreaking, you can always restore the factory settings. Just revert. So should there be no reason, not to try to jailbreak your iPhone.

And if you do jailbreak your phone successfully, then party like your on spring break!

Lunacasino: A Casino That Has Come Full Circle

Lunacasino is a slots site that has come full circle since its creation.  Now as bright and full as its namesake, Lunacasino will be offering players the most complete gaming experience ever!

It’s not easy finding an online casino site that has a clean interface, easy on the eyes and entertaining these days.  Come and think of it, there are over 2000 online gambling and gaming sites on the Internet today, and most of these—due to the ease in procuring the materials available online to create a gambling site—are dead ends; sites of very low quality which can be problematic particularly in cases when it ends up being a fake or fraudulent site.  

Players definitely want to find a site that is not only entertaining to play at, but also someplace where they can win legitimately.  Most sites will ask new players for an up-front “deposit” and most people will find it hard to trust sites that will be asking for money from the get go.  Gamblers already know of the risks of losing money due to probabilities in a game, but losing money to scams and fraud is another story.  People definitely want to avoid that.  Also, a lot of online sites tend to make their gaming interface confusing, leading to numerous pop up sites and making people end up in sites or pages they had not intended to go to.  

Thankfully, players can breathe a huge sigh of relief with the coming of Lunacasino, one of the newest online gaming sites on the Internet.  Its initial lure is in the clean lines of its interface, and from the beginning it promises an incentive for first time depositors: up to 2000 Pounds bonus for the first deposit!

Among the other features that Lunacasino boasts is the its unique sets of games and not to mention, new features compared to other sites that just offer the same run of the mill games; some sites in fact just rename games or tweak the colour palette in order to fill their gaming requirements.  

Whatever Luna Casino offers, may it be—blackjack, roulette, video poker and online slots you’ll be sure to find games that are new and unique and never been seen before.  First timers will be pleased to know that Lunacasino offers gamers with free playing options, allowing players to save their money until they’re truly ready to start playing their games.  In these free play games one can practice until one gets a good level of skill before risking real money.  But the caveat applies, these free games in Lunacasino will withhold features that will only be available in real gameplay.   

Another reason people will want to play on Lunacasino is the software, which is SkillOnNet, one of the leading online gaming solutions ever—one of the proud partners of Lunacasino.

Players will have to download Windows compatible software that will not take much of their drivespace—around 120MB in drivespace. 

On the flipside, the program can be easily removed with a normal removal systems in Windows.  Once you’re ready to get your game in full circle start by going to the Lunacasino website and start seeing the bright winnings ahead!

Jailbreaking Smart Phones Legal, But NOT Tablets

In jailbreaking news, the Copyright Office within the Library of Congress has renewed its rules making jailbreak smartphones legit, no warranty void on that. However, the rules don't apply to tablets. Jailbreaking your tablet which includes your e-reader and game console is against the law.

Jailbreaking your gadget lets you run unapproved apps by Apple and break free from any carrier restrictions. Apple has a stringent monopoly over which apps shoul be part of its App Store. Jailbreaking opens up possibilities for your device such as running apps you can't find on the app store, but by jailbreaking your smartphone, Apple decrees your warranty void. Sometime a bootleg animation sticks, the main red flag that you've been jailbreaking your unit.

Technology regulators such as the DMCA are obviously waiting this one out. Who knows what the tablet or the new mobile incarnate will look like in a few years? Or if we even have that need to jailbreak.

iPhone Gone Silent

Here's an iPhone adventure nightmare worth sharing. When I got to work last Tuesday my iPhone wasn't making a peep, even when it was on general profile or whenever got an SMS. Now this got me worried since I just bought it over a week ago. FYI, my iPhone is not in a silent mode. Tried the thing with earphones and finally heard some sound. It seemed normal with the earphones on, but without it the phone is locked on dead silent. So I did try to restore the iPhone by opening itunes and hold shift the click to do the manual restore and select to ipsw. But it didn't work. It was still dead on silent. Maybe the phone thinks that my headphones are still plugged into its system?

Maybe it was a physical problem, so I got a can of compressed air and totally blasted the earphone sockets and whatever holes on the mobile. I had this feeling something was in contact with the iPhone's audio dock and was getting in the way of it from properly functioning. It could be moisture. As I recall, it was raining terribly that morning and I had left my phone briefly exposed to the elements before I got into the car.

It took a few hours of turning my iPhone on and off. Eventually,  after more compressed air treatments, the sound started working normally again. I called Apple care and this seemed to be a common issue with the phone. So I opted for the phone returned service and waited for a replacement. No problem returning the defective thing, I'm just annoyed that I have to wait things out. And I'm a bit freaked out and paranoid that Apple's gonna send me another dud.

How to Jailbreak your iPhone

As jailbreaking is hacking into a smart phone’s default OS, you can start by using the Spirit, Jailbreakme, RedSn0w jailbreaking app which also works on other Apple devices such as iPods and iPads.

1. Download Spirit, Jailbreakme, RedSn0w or any popular jailbreak tool of your choice as there are a lot of jailbreaking tools for Windows and Mac. But like any downloadable wares, there are risks involved and your iPhone may become prone to attacks. So be warned. You will also need a iTunes 9.1.1 (or higher whichever is the latest now) and yes, an iPod cable.

2. Plug your Apple device, wait for iTunes acknowledge the device is connected. Create a Back up of whatever you have stored on your device into the iTunes library, and sync it. This is safety measure, you can revert back to in case your first attempt wasn't successful.

3. Run your Jailbreak tool and wait for the menu window to appear onscreen, wait for the message that the device is properly connected. Then click “Jailbreak” or whatever button that signifies the jailbreaking processs to begin, this may awhile so wait until the screen prompts that that the restore is complete. When done, your Apple device should restart. It's that simple!

4. Upon rebooting, an icon called Cydia will appear on your screen, most jailbreaking tools will install Cydia. Cydia is an alternate app store where you can download free apps or pay for good mods and tweaks. Don't worry the original App Store will continue to be functional and yes, you can still shop from iTunes and the App Store after jailbreaking. There's not really much of a change except you just have a new app store called Cydia.

In summary, jailbreaking is quite easy that even a luddite can feel his way through. Like I've said, you just need to download a piece of software, plug your iOS device into your computer with a cable, and let the run software runs its course. There is no specific knowledge or skills required.

Phone Jail Breaking

Are you confident enough to jail break your pricey phone?




As much we all have a love and hate relationship with tech giant Apple, anyone is entitled to jailbreak their phone. Yes, you can. You have the right to since you bought it, but it doesn't come without risk. Your phone will be more vulnerable to attacks and can become unstable. And once you do opt for a jailbreak, there's no turning back, you're on your own. Expect your warranty to be voided plus no or totally zero tech support from Apple.

By jailbreaking your phone, you are breaking free of all the limitations imposed upon your device by the manufacturer. Hence, you can install third-party apps not part of the menu of the Apple Store. It all boils down to personal choice. Through phone jailbreaking, you’re welcome to unlock your phone and go for another carrier without the blessing of Apple in mind. You can opt for AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. If you want full control then go for a jailbreak, but like I said, it comes with a risk.

Feel Free to Jailbreak your iPhone Today

Jailbreaking your iPhone is a legal right smiliar to the right to bear arms. The law has made it clear that its perfectly legit to jailbreak your own smart phone. So iPhone owners should rejoice and do freely figure out how to jailbreak your iPhones. As much as Apple is the manufacturer, the tech corp has no legal hold to prohibit Apple users from jailbreaking.

Most users view Apple's exclusivity as very suffocating, limiting what applications you can install on your iPhone is quite counterproductive considering the iPhone has lots of potential to more useful to its users. But it really all boils down to Apple selling its App wares and locking out the competition. Jailbreaking your iPhone frees you from all that.

Jailbreaking: Tweak your Way to Productivity and Freedom

I understand why companies would want to control software distribution. After all, this sort of control helps Apple keep iOS free from malware and ensure that the apps you download work properly. The same goes with console makers. There are legitimate reasons for keeping tight control over app distribution.

But for some, the control that smartphone and console makers impose onto their products hurts productivity, and generally makes these products less attractive. Jailbreaking provides users with more control and flexibility over their equipment--equipment that they bought and paid for, thank you very much. Telling a smartphone or tablet owner that they can't tweak their gadget is a bit like telling an auto enthusiast that they can't soup up their car.

From where I'm sitting, there's no good reason for companies to limit what you can do with your own personal equipment. If you bought it, you own it, and as long as you're not pirating content or otherwise breaking the law, you should be able to tweak it as you see fit.
