With just over 13 days from the 3G iPhone being released I have finally jailbroke my iPhone.  Don’t ask me why I have not done this earlier.  It could not have been easier and thus far I am really enjoying it.  If you have not already ran jailbreak on your iPhone (I doubt it), I recommend doing so immediately.  Apple’s iPhone official apps scheduled for release July 11th look promising however it may prevent some neat (controversial) apps from ever seeing the light of day.  Chances are I’ll probably jailbreak the iPhone 2.0 - Should be available within a week or two of its release.

If you are looking to run jailbreak and/or unlock your iPhone or iPod touch check out Life Hacker’s article “Jailbreak any iPhone or iPod Touch in 45 seconds“.  Simply have your iPhone running the current 1.1.4 firmware and download and install ZiPhone for your Mac or PC.

Enjoy!

Pirates of Silicon Valley, released in 1999, was a docudrama about how personal computers, as we know them today, were founded. This film depicts the inception of personal computers and the rivalry between Apple Computers and Microsoft Corporation. The film takes place in the early 70’s on the campuses of Berkley (Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak), and Harvard (Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer). The movie shows some of the experiences that they endured during college as well as the struggles of coming to the forefront of the household computing industry. Personally I really like how they touched on Wozniak’s passion for technical jokes and their encounter with John “Captain Crunch” Draper, famous for his contribution to phone phreaking in the 70’s.
