ipod secret menu

This will not work on all the models, expecially on the ipod touch or on the iphone

What you have to do is reset your ipod ( by holding home + ok button down for 5 seconds) and when the reboot screen appears, you have to press ( and keep pressed ) the home button and the rewind button, until the secret menu appears

Here you will be able to test the functionality of your buttons, hold button and so on.

Its not much, but it will scare the hell out of your friend when u do this to his ipod

cheers

Install Apps on iPhone/iTouch 3.0 via Cydia [ipa]

Ever buy an app and realize it was complete garbage? Well for better or worse after you complete this guide you won’t have to pay for an app again. However if you do like the application you should pay for it, as you will be notified when updates are available and that developer spent a lot of time creating the app.
You will need:
• Jail Broken iPhone / iTouch . iPhone 3GS currently cannot be jail broken.
Steps
1. Open Cydia, this is an application that is installed when you jail break your device.
2. Go to the Manage tab, the “tabs” are located at the bottom.
3. Select the Sources option
4. Select the Edit button, this is located in the top right.
5. Select the Add button, this is located in the top left.
6. Input cydia.hackulo.us in the text box it should read http://cydia.hackulo.us/ and press Add Source
7. You may get a warning, select “Add Anyway“
8. As it will update every source not just the one we added, you may get errors in which you can ignore.
9. Once it is all done go back to the main cydia menu and press the search tab
10. Search for “AppSync” and install “AppSync for OS 3.0″.
11. Restart your iPhone.
12. You can now drag and drop .IPA files into your iTunes application section, sync your phone and run them!
Note: A great place to find pirated apps is: http://appulo.us/appdb/

Warning: Major Flaw with Push Notification Fix for Jailbroken iPhones

One of the known issues with the jailbroken iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0 is that it disables the Push Notification feature. The iPhone Dev Team had released a fix to resolve the issue.
However, German developer and founder of Equinux has discovered a major flaw with the Push Notification fix. He discovered that when he sent a message using AOL's AIM iPhone app to a friend in Europe, he received a reply not from his friend, but from a total stranger in the US - a person who had also installed the Push Notification patch.
Though it initially seemed to be a problem with AOL's AIM iPhone app, which appeared to be broadcasting instant messages to random, unintended recipients, the issue is due to the Push Notification fix installed on a jailbroken iPhone as it uses the same UDID - Unique Device ID for the fix.
Due to this hard-coding, if you send a message to one of a user of a jailbroken iPhone who has installed the push notification fix then other iPhone users who had installed the fix also get the message.
It is still not clear if the issue was due to the patch, that the iPhone Dev Team had released or due to the app called Push Fix, that was released by iPhoneIL who had essentially packaged the fix released by the Dev Team and released it on Cydia to make it easier for jailbroken iPhone users.
If you have installed the push notification fix then the one of the options would be to restore your iPhone with iPhone OS 3.0 and jailbreak it again.
As always, please let us know if you had installed the patch and if you received random messages.

Safari 4 Beta Available from Apple

Apple has released a beta version of Safari. This new version of Apple’s web browser boasts a few flashy new features:

• See all your favorite web sites on the screen at once.
• Browse your history and bookmarks with Cover Flow.
• Improved tabs and browsing history search.
• A Windows-esque look and feel for Windows PC users.

“Want to enable 1password in the Safari 4 Beta? Here’s how.” shows you, well… how to transfer your passwords over to Safari 4 from 1password.

Mona N. of Pixel Bits says she switched back to Safari 3 due to stability issues with the beta (remember: “beta” means software that might have bugs). The ensuing conversation on FriendFeed gives a few others’ impressions of the new browser, including a few people who report not having experienced crashes.

If you have problems running Safari 4 Beta, the application comes with an uninstaller.
