According to the founder of this unlock, it could take up to 20 times for this to unlock, so be patient.
Pretty crazy method, but if it works, this is would be excellent news. The author warns users that it “could mess up your cellular radio, though it’s very unlikely“. Who wants to give it a try?
Like to go to sleep listening to your iPhone’s Music app and curious how to get it to “sleep” after a set period of time? One of the most annoying things is waking up a few hours later and it is still playing. Especially true if you are listening to an Audio Book and have to scrub back through hours of audio to find where you stopped listening.
Luckily you can set your iPod to stop playing after a set amount of time. It is really easy to do and we will show you how.

One of the more interesting iPhone cases available on the market has to be the line of aluminum cases from Element.
Design and Quality
Fit and Access
The ergonomics on the Vapor Comp are improved over last year’s Element cases. This case seems to be made for a right handed user. I was pleased to find that the Vapor Comp fits more naturally in my right hand than the Vapor 4 case did.

Overall
I highly recommend this product to someone who is looking for moderate iPhone protection and is willing to spend extra for a sharp-looking case that was made with high quality parts and a lot of attention to detail.

Just Mobile has announced the Just Mobile Gum Max, an aluminum clad backup battery that offers a whopping 10,400maH capacity, meaning you could completely recharge an iPad 2 with more power to spare. The Apple certified accessory works with all iOS devices and other smartphones. The Gum Max ships with an Apple dock connector and USB to micro-USB cables. Power can be tracked using the eight LED power indicators. This little bundle of power is about the size of USB backup drive and recently wond the Good Design Award of 2011.
The Just Mobile Gum Max is priced at $109.99.
Apple has just released software update 4.4.3 for the Apple TV 2. The update carries a new build number (9A4051) following the last update that hit in October.
Details of the update include added support for Netflix in Mexico as well as addressing an audio problem when playing sound through the optical port when your television set is turned off. The Apple TV Software Update 4.4.3 is available now through the ‘Update Software’ option under General Settings.
(And yes, they’re still confusingly referring to iOS Software 5.x as Apple TV version 4.x — can we stop that please?)
iOS developer @Gojohnnyboi discovered some code in iOS 5.0.1 that could indicate iChat — Apple’s Mac OS X instant messenger client — functionality may be coming to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch down the road.
Although the new iMessage feature in iOS 5 doesn’t hook into the same chat services mentioned in the code, it would make a lot of sense for Apple to ultimately streamline the iChat, FaceTime, and iMessage into a single service across Apple devices.
How soon you’ll actually see this on your iPhone or iPad isn’t exactly clear, but this at least suggests Apple has been experimenting with this on iOS platform.
