iPhone OTB 1.1.2 -> 1.1.3 (via iTunes) + Ziphone = Unlocked!

I’ve just tested Ziphone 2.4 on my iPhone 1.1.2 OTB updated to 1.1.3 via iTunes. 

2:30′ of terror and … boom: ERROR: ziphone returned 1.. but everything is working fine

so i think i will just accept the fact that not all the errors come to harm  Tongue out 

What can i say… thanks Zibri for Ziphone…  

 

UPDATE: i guess something went actually wrong… after 1 day of “wonderful service” the phone is quite screwed… every application (Apple or Third Party) opens but doesn’t receive any input… i can receive call but that’s it… no control a part from that. I’m restoring via iTunes (restore this time) and I’ll try a second run of Ziphone 2.4b (command line) this time.  

 

UPDATE 2: I just succeeded!! Wow… i got my phone back… everything seems to work fine, no weird errors and the phoone work like a charm… that was scary!!  

Confirmed that the unlock is actually working with an italian Vodafone SIM… and the system seems definitely stable. Only Installer sometimes complains to install some of the software (the untrusted ones), but usually after a couple of test is possible to succeed in the install.  

 

           

Google WebKit: sweeet!!!

Hi everyone,

I’m playing with the Google Web Kit  is actually very nice. The idea is quite simple, it allows you to develop your application in a comfortable Java language (with few limitations e.g., JVM 1.4 compatible + use of their graphical API) and with 1-click convert everything into a super cool Web 2.0 AJAX-based interface “a là” Gmail. 

The pro is that in few hours of playing I learned how to use the graphics, including some of the nifty stuff like text-completions, druggable dialogbox, succeed in splitting my application in AJAX frontend and pure Java backend (on tomcat).

I think is definitely a valuable option for interface generation. And helps you to create hot and trendy interfaces with a minimum effort. As soon as i will release the interface i’m working on i’ll link it here to show you the result.

Neural Network: implementing Lamstar

In this post i report a simple implementation of a Counter Propagation Neural Network.
As for the following examples i will post the goal is character recognition on a grid of pixels. 
Noise is introduce to evaluate robustness of the approach.

Here we will present both implementation and performance eval- 
uation of Lamstar neural network applied to characters recognition. 

 
This documentation provide full description of the approach and the results.
This is the source code for the neural network

Ziphone 2.0 is out: 1-click unlock of any iPhone

Here we are, a wonderful GUI-enabled Ziphone 2.0 has been released… it activates, jailbreaks and unlocks any iPhone including 1.1.2 OTB and 1.1.3 OTB both BL 4.6 and BL 3.9. 
 
The process takes less than 5 minutes and require no h4x0r skills at all.
Moreover iClarified create a very complete step-by-step (few and easy) guide to use this program.  
What to say.. thanks Zibri.. and unlock and enjoy! 
 
 
Please note that I’m showing a Mac interface and link to the Mac guide only but the program has been released for both Mac and Windows and people are reporting successes under both platforms.   

Semantic Web: getting real

On slashdot recently appeared an interesting news for researcher and fun of Semantic Web:

http://slashdot.org/articles/08/02/10/2041235.shtml 

 Reuters just opened access to their corporate semantic technology crown jewels. For free. For anyone. Their Calais API lets you turn unstructured text into a formal RDF graph in about one second . 

People testing it report to be impressively effective. I haven’t tested myself yet, but i plan to do it. And i will keep you posted on this.

  

Iphone 1.1.3 OTB: one-click unlock

It seems that everyone’s dream is becoming true… ziphone seems to unlock iPhone 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 4.6 OTB in more or less one click… This means from the slide of your credit card to a activated-jailbroken-unlocked phone in matter of few minutes… 
 
As often iClarified provides a fool-proof tutorial guiding you step by step… I suggest waiting a couple of days before testing, let the solution stabilize and someone, more in a hurry than you, to get burned Smile

Timeplot: an MIT tool to visualize series of events

Timeplot is a DHTML-based AJAXy widget for plotting time series and overlay time-based events over them (with the same data formats that Timeline supports). The original site is: http://simile.mit.edu/timeplot/ 

 I’ve installed it and make a couple of very simple tests, the installation is very simple and the XML-based language to feed the graphical interface very intuitive here is an example.

Here follows a simple example of XML input file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<data>
<event start="Jan 01 1849 00:00:00 GMT" title="California Gold Rush" link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Gold_Rush"></event>
<event start="Apr 12 1861 00:00:00 GMT" end="Apr 09 1865 00:00:00 GMT" title="American Civil War" link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War"></event>
