We've all done it. You receive an important SMS, usually a shopping list from your wife and you dare not ask what you're supposed to be picking up for the second time. Problem is, you got a little swipe-happy and deleted it. It's gone, gone for good. Well, not quite.
FaceTime, it's a wonderful technology, but it's oh-so-rarely used due to the hectic process of hunting down a particular individual from your contacts list and initiate a FaceTime call with them. When was the last time you declined to use it for that matter? Exactly.
Oh those jailbreakers, they really do seem to have an answer for all of life's little irritations, don't they? The latest rage-inducing occurrence to receive the jailbreak treatment, is the ungodly situation we all find ourselves in on an alarmingly regular basis - you're sitting there, minding your own business and you think you heard something.

Interesting developments in the world of iPhone unlocking today, with the news that the controversial GEVEY SIM continues to unlock iPhone 4, even when updated to iOS 4.3.4.
Apple's gone new release crazy today, with new MacBook Airs, new Apple Thunderbolt Displays and a new release of OS X Lion. Alongside those three though, Apple has also sneaked out an update to its supposed entry-level machine, bringing some fancy new technology to its Mac mini line.
