George Francis Hotz is known for being among the group of people who first unlocked the iPhone to work on carriers other than those which Apple officially supported e.g. AT&T. He went to release jailbreaking tools like purplera1n, blackra1n, blacksn0w, a hack the PS3 and recently Limera1n which jailbreaks iOS 4.1.

iPhone Dev Team hacker MuscleNerd has confirmed that an updated version of PwnageTool for Mac is slated for release this Sunday.
iOS 4.1.1 is looming near! The update is set to fix a daylight savings bug in iOS’ alarm clock app that causes alarms to sound an hour early. The update is also set to patch hacker comex’ untethering hack which is used by Geohot’s Limera1n jailbreaking tool for iOS 4.1.
The day has come, dear readers! Microsoft, at their Windows Phone 7 launch event, has officially announced all the things we’ve wanted to know about WP7 since its original public unveiling in Barcelona.
While we previously thought that Geohot’s startling return to jailbreaking with Limera1n wouldn’t make jailbreaking Apple TV possible, it turns out that it is actually possible and you can do it right now!!
GreenPois0n took weeks upon weeks upon weeks of development and hard work from the Chronic Dev Team. The SHAtter exploit based tool was supposed to release today, but after the release of George Hotz’ Limera1n (which is based on a new exploit; pwns all iOS 4.1 devices), Chronic Dev Team had to make a very tough decision.
Rumors for a CDMA-based Verizon iPhone for 2011 are getting stronger and stronger by the day. We’ve previously seen claims from Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch and today, Wall Street Journal has gone ahead and called it a settled deal.
Last week, we informed you that an update to PayPal app on iPhone would soon allow you to capture (front and back side) photographs of your check to deposit it instantly. That update has been released today!
GreenPois0n is gearing up to be one heck of a jailbreaking tool. The low-level SHAtter exploit based tool is expected to release soon (no exact ETA) and will be pwning all iOS devices ever released for life.
Einstein once said, imagination is more powerful than knowledge. I now see the entire truthfulness behind his saying for iCandyApps has just released an app called Photo Bubbler that enables you to see anyone naked by using a technique called bubbling. Confused how it all works, still? Read the explanation after the jump!
