A few weeks back I covered how to jailbreak your iDevice, but now there’s a new, easier way to do it, one that also doesn’t require the use of a computer to complete. Oh, and it adds supports for iOS 4.0 and 4.0.1!
Now this jailbreak works on the device itself and uses a PDF exploit that Apple says it already has a fix for, so jump on the bandwagon and make sure not to install iOS 4.0.2 when it drops next week as it will likely break this exploit.
Ready? Here we go.

For those of you who used Tweak UI for the earlier version of Windows, here’s an application you’ll love that allows you to tweak most aspects of Windows Vista and 7. It’s called Ultimate Windows Tweaker, and I found it to be very useful today while setting up a couple of Win 7 machines.
The 345KB application has a small footprint, and is contained entirely in the executable so no installation is necessary. It also only displays options that pertain to the OS version your running it on. Just fire it up, and over 150 customizable aspects of Windows are at your finger tips, no digging through countless steps to access them.
If you’re like me, and you want Windows to operate exactly as you want, not how Microsoft thinks you want it, you owe it to your self to download a copy and give it a try.
Recently I finally got around to upgrading this site (and several others) to WordPress 3.0 and everything went smoothly until I tried to login to my admin page, where I was greeted by this lovely message:
Error 500 – Internal server error
An internal server error has occurred!
Please try again later.
Wonderful.
Turns out that this error was caused by the way my host, 1&1, parses PHP files and while it’s rather annoying, it’s at least relatively easy to fix. I should note that technically WordPress 3.0 also shares some of the blame, as it requires parts be run through PHP5 (1&1 by default uses PHP 4 to parse scripts).
Here’s how to fix it…

Last night I went to plugin my headphones and listen to some music and lo and behold my headphones wouldn’t fit entirely in the jack, strange… I removed my headphones and went to take a closer look.
Apparently when your headphone jack is obstructed, in my case by a piece of plastic, there’s a tiny red light that lights up at the bottom of the jack. No, it’s not Skynet trying to take control of your computer.
In order to fix this, just take a toothpick or a paperclip and insert it into the headphone jack to clear whatever is blocking it.
