A Program that Unlocks the iPhone?

According to reports, an anonymous group of software developers claims to have developed a program that unlocks Apple's iPhone, thus making it operational on any GSM network across the globe.

As of now, the iPhone is available only in the US, and is operational only on the AT&T network, under an exclusive two-year agreement between Apple and AT&T.

The iPhone unlocking program was demonstrated by Los Angeles-based software consultant named Brett Schulte, who replaced AT&T with a T-Mobile SIM card, and within a few seconds, the iPhone became operational.

Schulte said the procedure doesn't require opening or disassembling of the device, and unlocking can be done in just about two minutes.

Apparently, the anonymous group includes six people from three different continents, who claim to have unlocked the device just as a hobby.

The developers plan to put the software on sale, though no price has been finalized yet. They have also created a Web site called iPhoneSIMfree.com, which has some information on the program but does not give a way to purchase it yet.

Meanwhile, an AT&T spokesman said that though they could not hypothesize on the authenticity of hacking the iPhone, they hurried to remind users that by buying the iPhone, they become contractually indebted to AT&T.

A similar incident took place about a week back, where a teenager claimed to have found the way to unlock the iPhone, though by disassembling the device.

Wifi Technology - Get Connected With Wi-Fi Technology

Wireless communication is one of the fastest growing technologies. The demand for connecting devices without the use of cables is increasing everywhere. Wireless LANs can be found on college campuses, in office buildings, and in many public areas.

Wifi (wireless fidelity) has brought a new dimension in the field of wireless networking. The transmission of data is done through the radio waves in the free space. It cuts down the cost of laying down the cables for network connections. The systems which are wifi enabled are mobile and can be used anywhere in the range of the network.

Wireless router.

Router is a connecting device, which receives the data from the source and route the data to its destination. Wireless routers refer to the devices in the wireless network, which receives the signal from a source and rout the signal to its destination by examining its SSID. Routers are generally used to interconnect two networks.

A wireless card.

Some systems which do not have in built wifi devices so they need an external interface card which connects the wifi device (a transmitting device) to the system. These cards can be connected to the PCI slot of the mother board.

Also in order to receive the wifi signal from devices our system should be equipped with a receiver. Nowadays receivers that can be connected through USB are also available.

Hence we see that wifi has numerous advantages. Nowadays wifi connections can be found on college campuses, in office buildings, in many public areas. If we consider the present world, we find that the demands for the wifi connections are increasing. People are beginning to appreciate the advanced features wifi network provides to the user. Due to its increasing demand the scope of the wifi network is also on the rise. Here we highlight the major benefits of installing a wifi network. For more info see http://www.topwifireviews.com/Voip_Wi-Fi_Phone on Voip Wi-Fi Phone.

Firstly it cut down the cost of laying down the cable for network connection.Secondly with no wires attached it is possible that the sender node can be mobile.Thirdly the equipments required to fully establishing the wifi network anywhere is relatively cheap. So the cost incurred in establishing the wireless wifi connection is cheaper and also very easy to install. Wifi established in small place do not even need the wireless routers.

Lastly it is also possible for the user to have a better speed of Internet connection by using wifi network. Since the bandwidth provided by wireless cutwork is large connection speed between two nodes is faster. It is also faster to transmit data between two devices connected through wifi.

Google Helps in Search for Aviator

Google Helps in Search for Aviator

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google Inc. is best known for finding information online, but sometimes the Internet search leader also works behind the scenes to look for missing people like renowned aviator Steve Fossett.

The Mountain View-based company has emerged as a potentially useful resource for search-and-rescue teams because of its connections to the dozens of contractors that provide satellite imagery for its popular Google Earth software.

While most of the images used in Google Earth's 3-D tours of the world are anywhere from six months to three years old, the company can request more recent pictures taken from space.

That's what happened this week as search-and-rescue teams hunted for clues that might help them determine what happened to Fossett after he took off in a plane Monday from a Nevada airstrip without providing a flight plan.

Richard Branson, a British billionaire who has financed and participated in some of Fossett's past adventures, said he and others were coordinating efforts with Google to see if any of the high-resolution pictures might include Fossett's plane, a Bellanca Citabria Super Decathlon.

Google also helped obtain some of the satellite pictures that were used in an unsuccessful search earlier this year for acclaimed computer scientist Jim Gray after he disappeared on a yacht sailing from San Francisco. Google co-founder Sergey Brin is among the legion of young engineers who drew inspiration from Gray's pioneering work on database software decades ago.

A Google spokeswoman declined to discuss why the company became involved in the Fossett search. Branson apparently has a good relationship with Google, having participated in a charity event hosted by company co-founder Larry Page earlier this year.

DigitalGlobe, which supplies much of Google Earth's imagery, confirmed that Google called upon the Longmont, Colo.-based company for help Wednesday. Unfortunately, DigitalGlobe didn't have any pictures available from the area where Fossett took off Monday, said company spokesman Chuck Herring. DigitalGlobe doesn't expect to get any more images from that part of the country again until Saturday.

"We are partners with Google, so we always try to help out in any way we can," Herring said.
