Labyrinth was one of the best games created for the iPhone, it made good use of the phone’s accelerometers and showed the true potential of 3rd party apps for the iPhone. Unfortunately, the popular game was recently updated by its developer to v1.0 adding a timer (which was way too quick) and a demo only version…meaning that now the game was not free anymore.

The new version adds some new features like calibration and probably fixes some bugs…but the full game costs $7. If you think its worth it…go ahead and buy it, if not then we got your piece of cake! Download Labyrinth v0.4 and follow the following instructions to get it working :

1. Extract the zip file to your Desktop. Open WinSCP and connect to your iPhone via SSH

3. Go to the root/Applications folder and Drop the extracted folder in there

4. Next go into the Labyrinth.app folder and right-click on the file labyrinth and set permission to 0755

5. Reboot your phone

Enjoy

The Live Messenger team has finally released the well awaited v9 for the new Messenger platform. Currently the download is only offered to a selected few Butterfly Beta testers, this is the email sent to the butterflies:

Hello from the Windows Live Messenger Team!

We’ve been hard at work building the foundation for Windows Live Messenger 9.0, we’d like to give you a look at what we’ve built and ask what you think. We’re running a small private beta to get early feedback on the new features we’ve built and get wider test coverage of the build.

As a valued member of the Butterfly/MVP community, you are invited to participate in the Messenger 9.0 Beta0 program. You’ll have access to an early 9.0 build, a private newsgroup just for Windows Live Messenger beta testers, and the ability to send bugs directly to the product team. The build you’ll be beta testing with is a very early build, so it may be less stable than beta builds you’ve tried in the past. We’re telling you this upfront so you know what you’re getting into. If you’re not sure about trying a not-quite polished build, maybe this beta isn’t for you. If you’re ready to dig in and explore this build with us, follow the below instructions to join.

Here are some of the changes you’ll see in 9.0:

· Sign-in and messaging in multiple locations – be logged into Messenger from more than one computer at the same time!

· Signature sounds – choose the sound your friends here when you log in, and customize the sounds you hear in Messenger

· Animated user tiles

Please note that this is a private beta for a very small audience only – Windows Live Messenger 9.0 isn’t ready for wide distribution yet. By entering the beta, you’re agreeing to use the client and send us feedback, and to not share it with anyone else. Doing so is against the Terms of Use. If the build gets out too widely and starts causing problems on the service we may have to shut it down. We don’t want to do that and we know you don’t want that to happen, so please keep it to yourself.

Check out the Release Notes to find out what’s new in this build and the list of known issues. This beta is a very early build, so you may find that it’s less stable than beta clients you’ve tried in the past. The Known Issues list will tell you where you may run into more disruptive bugs. If you think you’ve found a bug, check there before filing it in the bug form.

As usual the warning was ignored by some bad butterflies and the build was leaked.

Have you always hated being at school/work or any place that restricts access to Bittorrent, certain sites etc? Here’s a relatively simple 3-step guide that will show you how to set up an SSH bypass to let you satisfy your download hunger.

Note: We wouldn’t recommend BitTorrent over SSH as a permanent solution since it will cripple the servers of the SSH providers.

1. Get an SSH account.

You need an SSH account in order to get this working. You can try one of these free shell providers from this list. Read the rest of this entry »

Got an iPhone? have it on version 1.1.1? Cant wait to get v1.1.2 to get those international keyboards? Wait no more!

Here is a guide to get from iPhone v1.1.1 to v1.1.2

Special thanks to conceited software, tauw and all the others who worked on getting this working.

Guide: (UPDATED Nov 24th)

Note: There is NO unlock for out of the box v1.1.2 iPhones. So if you bought an iphone that had v1.1.2 pre-installed on it then it CANNOT be unlocked.

Before we begin, download the following:

• iPhone firmware 1.1.1
• iPhone firmware 1.1.2
• anySIM1.2.1u
• iPHUC
• oneSIM
• bbupdater
• WinSCP
• Putty

For those who live other then the US or unlocked and have a non-functioning Voicemail button, here’s how to change the default number.

Step 1: Find your carrier�s voicemail number is (for example, in Singapore the SingTel voicemail number is 1389 and in Australia, the Vodafone voicemail number is 121)

Step 2: Click the phone button in your iPhone. (Green one, bottom left)

Step 3: Click the keypad tab.

Step 4: Type the following: *5005*86*yourvoicemailphonenumber# (just google for your phone carrier’s voicemail number).

Step 5: Hit the call button and wait a few seconds.

Step 6: Hit the voicemail button, and it will now call your voicemail.

That’s all!

By now you have probably heard a lot of bells and whistles about the iPhone, but Apple’s latest firmware proved to be a menace for open sim loving users. Here is a guide I put together at hackint0sh which will guide you through the entire process:

Use this ONLY if you have a BRAND NEW iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 NOTHING ELSE!

Text in red means you use WinSCP for that step, text in blue means you use Putty

I have made one zip file containing all the downloads that this guide tells you to get, so instead of individual links here is a zip archive of all the files/installers needed for this guide : http://d.turboupload.com/d/2098918/unlock111.zip.html
