iOS 5 Has Been Jailbroken — Wait, What?!

It has only hit “Beta 1″ of its short life, but iOS 5 has been jailbroken by none other than the almighty Dev Team’s “MuscleNerd” on an iPod Touch. At the moment, the jailbreak is of the tethered variety, meaning that it must be connected to a computer to initialize the jailbreak, but that also means this version will never be released to the public. A full jailbreak is currently being worked on so it will launch in time for iOS 5′s release in the fall. Via: Twitter

LG Has Raised The Price Of Its G2X Because Of Inventory Constraints?!

T-Mobile may have just done the unthinkable (or at least to me) — changing the price of the LG G2X to $249.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, which is $50 more than the previous price of $200 due to “inventory constraints”. Now hopefully the price will be reversed right back to its original pricing after the inventory issue is resolved, but T-Mobile hasn’t mentioned anything about that. Via: TmoNews

Sony PlayStation Network Downtime Should Last Until A Damning May 31st

Geez. A Sony spokesperson told Bloomberg recently that they expect the PlayStation Network servers and services to go online May 31st, which would mean since PSN went down on April 20th, and that it would take them six weeks in total to figure out that they’ve been hacked, invite high-level digital security firms to help with figuring that out, fixing and updating servers, writing several blog posts about how they’re sorry, finally decide to move their servers to “a safer location”, then hitting the “On” switch.

It’s a lot of work, but six weeks? Come on, Sony. Via: Bloomberg

Amazon Outs A Kindle For $114, But With Ads

This is — nuts? For a $25 discount, you will soon be able to purchase a Kindle 3 (WiFi-only version) with ads served by Visa, Olay and Buick, among others coming in the future. When the the e-reader is idle, a screensaver from one of the companies aforementioned would appear, or an advertisement bar at the bottom of the homescreen (no ads while reading, however). According to Amazon’s own Kindle director, Jay Marine, seems to think that “customers are going to love it.” Oh, really?

First of all, let’s hope this is not a trend. Secondly, only $25? $114 is still a lot to be asking for ads. So technically, you’d be paying for ads. Weird, eh? It releases May 3rd; pre-orders begin today.

Security Alert: Beware Of The Fake Twitter, i.e. “ShangTwitter.Appspot”

Anybody see @Google appcloud.com Old @Twitter versions of themselves on the Web? @stefanetienne, are you awake? Something crazy is happening
@JonMwords
Jon Mitchell

This is something that came from one of my followers, as a pretty accurate security report. If you make a Google search of “shangtwitter” you’ll find the old version of Twitter in its entirety, along with many different users. Obviously, the first things that comes to mind is don’t bother entering your login information to this site, which is also SSL-secured. Also, I’d like Google to kill this off their AppSpot servers, immediately.

Apparently, AT&T Is Buying T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom For $39 Billion

AT&T is buying T-Mobile. Oh noes? Depends. AT&T has agreed to buy T-Mobile from its parent company, Deutsche Telekom, for a beefy $39 billion. It’s a bold move, which also expands their “4G” network as well. This means there is also a GSM monopoly in the United States. And of course, as per government regulatory approval, the deal should be finalized within the next 12 months. Press release after the cut. Via: AT&T

Slow Saturday Post: The Internet On A Floppy Disk

Now this is just what you needed for your boring tech Saturday — the internet on a floppy disk. I swear a few ignorant souls think that this is really the bacon, and that the internet comes on a floppy disk, while the CD-ROM version is AOL. Moving on, folks. Via: Unplgged
