Today has been a bit of a happening day for the jailbreaking community. A couple of hours ago, Chronic Dev Team released their Reporter program which sends crash reports to Chronic Dev Team servers (instead of Apple’s) so they can find exploits, and now we’ve received news of yet another jailbreaking tool.

Being third to market with the PlayStation three behind Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii undoubtedly hurt Sony, at least in the early days.

A hugely staggered worldwide release did not help, either.
All things considered, it's been a pretty solid year for Microsoft. With Xbox 360 + Kinect still selling like hotcakes, allied to Windows 8 being greeted warmly by PC users far and wide, the Redmond-based company's mobile OS has now been acknowledged as the 'Operating System Of The Year'.

It is not limited to only phone related functions, but can pull valuable information from the web too. For a worthy contender to match its capabilities will take some serious horsepower.
With Intel's Thunderbolt connector not exactly taking off as quickly as it would have liked, the company is apparently working on a new, standardized docking system which would give ultra-portable notebooks both a Thunderbolt and non-Thunderbolt connector to use, with the latter being reportedly used for things such as power and Ethernet connectivity.

The problem is, there is currently no Android version and fans of the little green robot are getting tires of waiting.
With the battle between Apple's iOS and Google's Android beginning to mimic the Mac Vs. PC battle of the nineties, the same old debates are beginning to arise.
We discovered an unusually powerful app today, folks. It’s called AirDroid and it lets you manage and control just about every feature of your Android device from a computer using a web browser over the same WiFi connection. Details after the jump!
