If you’re looking to either make your Pirate Bay downloading a little more like traditional shopping or a way to avoid spending money at Amazon.com, a new Greasemonkey script is ready to answer the call.

Pirates of the Amazon works by inserting a direct download link below the title of the product you’re currently viewing. Of course it works with movies and albums, but it also does an admirable job finding software and books.

The download link points directly to the .torrent file, so you won’t even have to view the Pirate Bay page for a particular item.

Instructions:

Prepare your ship in 4 steps:

1. To be able to download BitTorrent you have to have a BitTorrent software installed. Good ones are uTorrent for Windows and Transmission for Mac and Linux.

2. Click this link and click “Install Now” when prompted.

3. Confirm Firefox restart to activate the add-on.

4. Go to amazon and enjoy having the choice between “add to shopping cart” and “download 4 free”.

Original site was taken down by the authorities, but we like choices

Leave us a line if this works for you. You can also send some kudos to the developers via email: mail at pirates-of-the-amazon.com

Have you ever noticed how you pc tends to slow down near the end of the day? Well there is a way you can put it back in its fresh start state without a restart!

First up, why do you need a booster?

Well, it’s not so much a question of why because we all want a faster PC.

This is more a question of WHEN.

If you’ve been running a large application (or several large applications, maybe a game, Photoshop, something like that) the RAM can get taken up quickly. Even when you close down these programs, RAM can still be eaten-up.

You’ll notice this effect at the end of the day. When you first power-up your PC it’s running smoothly, by the end of the day it’s as sluggish as teenager who’s just eaten a whole pizza. Now, you can get various applications to solve this. Some cost a little, some cost a lot. But personally, we like it free. Especially when that free is really quick and easy.

So, here’s what you need to do. It works for both Vista and XP.

Step One: Open up Notepad (it’s in Accessories)

Step Two: Type in MYSTRING=(80000000)

Step Three: Save the file as MEMORY.VBE (or RAM.VBE if you like…just remember the .VBE)

Step Four: Make sure you save the file to your DESKTOP.

Step Five: Just double-click the newly created file on your desktop whenever your PC seems sluggish. It will give your RAM a much needed boost.

If you have less than 128mb of RAM. Change the 80000000 to 160000000 and it should work the same.

That’s it. Quick, simple and a real time-saver. Leave us a line if this worked out for you

Have you ever visit a cyber cafe and found yourself too restricted by the hourly rates for using the internet? Most often these prices are inflated especially in places where cyber cafes’ are the main source for high speed internet surfing.

Here is a tutorial that will teach you how to Disable The Timer On The Computers in the Internet Cafe’s.

Step 1

Create A New Text Document, type CMD in it & then save it as a batch file (some-name.bat). When you run this file, the command prompt window will open on the computer.

Step 2

Next type cd\windows in the command prompt window to change the directory to Windows. Now type in regedit to get to the registry editor gui.

Step 3

Once in regedit, get to the following area:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Appevents>software>classes> microsoft>windows>current version>internet settings>policies>system

once there, on the right side pane where it says Disable Taskmanager, right click on it, and select Modify. Change the value to “0″

Step 4

Now open Windows Task Manager By Holding Down: “CTRL+ALT+DEL”. In the processes list, look for any program names that looked like the program that controls the cafe timer. Many cyber cafes use cyberlux as the timing device but your product may vary depending on where you are located.

iPhone firmware 2.0.1 has been out for a few days now and sports a good amount of bugfixes. One espicially good fix is the keyboard lag that many people experienced in firmware 2.0. Well this new firmware should fix that problem.

Here is how to get to firmware 2.0.1 using windows on a 1st generation iPhone.

Files Needed:

1. WinPwn 2.0.0.4
2. Bootloader 3.6 & 4.6 Files
3. iPhone Firmware 2.0.1

Step 1: Launch WinPwn and click the Browse .ipsw button. Select the firmware 2.0.1 you downloaded above.

Step 2: Once this is done, click the IPSW Builder button. Choose the settings you want in the window that appears.

Step 3: Once you have all the settings you want click the Build .ipsw and select where you want to save the new custom firmware. Now the custom firmware will be built, this may take a few minutes.

Step 4: Once the custom firmware is done, click the iPwner button. It will ask you for the custom firmware file so choose that file once it asks.

Step 5: Once your firmware is Pwned, Put your iPhone into DFU mode. To do so:

- Press and hold the Home and Sleep Button together

- Once the screen turns off, wait for 2 seconds and let go off the sleep button

- Keep holding the Home button until your PC recognizes the iPhone in DFU mode.

Step 6: In iTunes Shift+Click the Restore button and find the custom IPSW Firmware file you created.

Step 7: The restore will start. You should see bootneuter automatically come up and run once the process is complete.

Well it seems like the long awaited Pwnage Tool has been released by the iPhone dev team which gives you total hackable control over the latest firmware 2.0. Sadly the tool has been released only on the mac platform and windows users are asked to drool for a bit longer.

Step 1: Use WinPWN 1.0 to PWN your iPhone running firmware 1.1.4

Step 2: Install BootNeuter (Available Via Installer).

Step 3: Run BootNeuter and have it Neuter your iPhone

Step 4: Make sure your iTunes version is at 7.7

Step 5: Grab a pre-created IPSW Made with PWNAGE 2.0.

Step 6: Put your iPhone in DFU mode :

1.) First download the application that puts your iPhone in DFU mode

2.) Extract the downloaded archive to the C: Drive, it should look like this: “C:/DFU/”

3.) Connect your iPhone and ignore iTunes

4.) Goto Start -> run

5.) Next type in �c:/dfu/dfu iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu�

6.) Wait for iPhone to show a �white� screen

Step 7: In iTunes Shift+Click the Restore button and find the custom IPSW Firmware file you downloaded.

After the WWDC ’08 Keynote, everyone wanted this iPhone game, it received almost as much hype as the iPhone itself. Super Monkey Ball from SEGA definitely has some good qualities, however it does have some bad qualities as well. First off, this game costs $9.99 which might be a little steep for some.

Super Monkey Ball sports some great graphics and almost proves itself as one of the best games created for the iPhone. There are over a 100 leves to play which means you might not get bored from this for a while.

So without further delay we would like to offer you the cracked version of this game. We would also like to inform you that this release has not been tested on jailbroken/unlocked iPhone’s running firmware 2.0 which is impossible at the moment for the lack of an unlock out there.

How do you install this game?

1. Make sure you are on firmware 2.0 with OpenSSH installed.

2. Download the Super Monkey Ball Cracked file and extract the .app folder from the archive to your desktop.

3. Create a folder called “Documents” in /var/mobile. Set the permissions to 777

4. Upload the .app folder extracted before to the /Applications folder and set permissions of ALL files inside to 777. Here is a video showing how to do this.

Reboot/Respring and Enjoy!

UPDATE: Haklabs has pioneered the iPhone App Hacking scene and we have developed permanent solutions for cracking all Appstore apps. The method mentioned above is now discontinued and will not possibly work; we still left it there as a reminder of our achievement for all our members and supporters :pirate:

The method on how to install cracked apps has been updated, here are the instructions:

So, how to install ipa files on an iPhone or iPod Touch?

1. You need to be on jailbroken iPhone with Cydia installed. For this, you may use QuickPwn, PwnageTool, or WinPwn. See my tutorials for on how to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod Touch using any of these tools.

2. Install OpenSSH from Cydia on your iPhone. Click on Cydia and then click Install (Sections)>Networking>OpenSSH then click Install>Confirm (if you get a running out of disk space error click “ok”).

3. Log into WinSCP. The first time you try to login you may get a connection timeout error, click retry several times (up to 20 times!) and it should work. If you still get an error, reboot your iPod/iPhone and try again.

4. Navigate to /private/var/mobile/ folder

5. Set the permission of the Applications folder to 777 (make sure reclusive is checked).

6. Stay in the /private/var/mobile/ folder.

7. Create a folder called “Documents” in the /private/var/mobile/ folder. Make sure to spell “Documents” correctly, with a capital “D”.

8. Set the permission to 777.

9. Navigate to the root level and open the /Applications folder.

10. Create a folder called “Documents” inside the /Applications folder and set permission to 777.

*Note: You will only need to create these two Documents folders once*

11. Go to <root> /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework

12. Rename the file “MobileInstallation” to “MobileInstallation.bak”

13. Download the patched MobileInstallation file. Note that you have to download the patched file for the firmware you are running. ie. if you are running 2.2, you need the MobileInstallation 2.2 patched file.

14. Place the patched file into the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework folder and set the permissions 775 for the patched MobileInstallation file. If there is some type of extension (ie .dylib), then you need to remove that extension.

15. Reboot your iPhone/iPod Touch

16. Download cracked api Games and Apps from appulo.us or any site you prefer.

17. Download at least one App from Apple App Store (Free or Paid). What I do is I download one app from the App Store using iTunes, then I sync my iPhone and reboot it. Then I download one app from the App Store on the iPhone and reboot the phone. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: Otherwise you will get an error! [Only need to do this once]

18. Drag and drop the .ipa file you downloaded into the iTunes Application library.

19. Sync your iPhone/iPod Touch and enjoy!

Errors:

The application “XXXXXXX” cannot be opened
Fix: Reboot your iPhone or iPod

0xE800001 Error:

FIX: Change usb port and reboot your iphone/ipod Touch.
If this doesn’t work try going into: Control panel->System->Device Manager->Universal Serie Bus Controller->Right click Apple Mobile Device USB Driver and update driver.

0xE800013 Error:

You get this error when you already have the app
FIX: Simply delete the .app folder that u have ssh’d and reboot.
