Today’s Apple keynote included new iPod Shuffle, Multi-Touch Nano and iPod Touch with camera and HD recording, a Tiny Apple TV as well as iTunes 10.
iOS 4.1
iOS 4.1 will make it’s debut next week but the golden master has been seeded to the iPhone Devs which requires you to have an account to download. However that doesn’t seem to stop it from being publicly available as per hundreds of tweets and sites seem to be posting it to download.
The rumor seems to be that no dev account is needed to install the new firmware on your device. To play it safe, you can just wait one week for Apple to officially post it. Also a note to the Jailbreakers out there, this will break your jailbreak as well as your carrier unlock so you guys are better off not updating even after it is available via Apple. This does update the baseband of your device so even if a jailbreak is released you may need to wait until you can update without updating the baseband.
I thought I would mention first that I will not go over the WP3 multisite installation in detail, but if you have any questions, leave a comment. I may detail it later on if needed.
Getting WP3 multisite working the way you want it to can be a fairly straightforward process. In fact WP3 is probably the most user-friendly platform I have ever worked with. That’s not to say that you won’t run into your share of frustrations as I have run into a few snags, luckily WP has a large user contributed support community. I’ll lay out everything to get this going, including what not to do as I have learned.
First of all when installing and enabling the network feature of WP3, the functionality that allows you to run multiple blogs, remember to always set your domain as ‘domain.com’ and not ‘www.domain.com’ before enabling the option. This landed me in trouble when working with the sitewide tags which we’ll go into shortly.
Once you have WP3 running and have enabled the network feature, you now have a fully functioning multisite blogging network platform. What I wanted to do was have every post made within the network be aggregated into a central location, such as sharehacks.com. This can give a nice snapshot of what everyone is posting about in the network as a whole and also produces a much more dynamic site.
I searched for a few plugins and dug through the http://premium.wpmudev.org/ archive but didn’t really find one there that I liked. There are a few widgets there that are worth using but I wanted something that would show up as posts, rather then sidebar widgets. WordPress.org maintains a large repository of user contributed plugins at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags seems to be pretty much one of the few plugins that does this well. This will give you the option of either creating a separate blog with all your posts in your network or, you can have it posted to your main blog (generally which is the first blog with ID1). Also, note that this will work with new posts going forward and will not automatically import posts that have already been posted.
There are a couple things to consider at this point. The first thing is that if you did have your multisite setup with the ‘www’ in it, then when creating the blog that houses all the posts will end up with something like ‘tags.www.domain.com’ which will end up giving you problems resolving the site.
To resolve this issue, you will need to edit the wp-config.php file, remove all references to the ‘www’ as well as open up phpmyadmin and remove any references to the ‘www’. Make sure you backup your DB before doing this as you can really mess things up. It sounds more complicated then it really is, its really more tedious than difficult.
The next thing is that, you should consider is installing the plugin manually and uploading the sitewide-tags.php into the wp-content/mu-plugins folder rather then using the automated install built into WP. This will ensure the plug is running site wide.

The iPhone-dev team, who recently brought us the amazingly easy jailbreak tool, jailbreak.com, will not be releasing a version for 4.0.2/3.2.2. For those of us, myself included who wound up with a out of the box 4.0.2 firmware will need to sit tight until after 4.1 is released. It sounds like a fair idea as Apples media event announced for September 1st should mean that the release is just around the corner. If the dev-team were to release a fix we all know it would be patched up by the time 4.1 rolls out.
jailbreakme.com
The update from the dev-team blog:
Jailbreakme v2.0 was a great success, and it’s provided a nice leveling point for all jailbreakers and unlockers on all devices at firmware versions less than 4.0.2/3.2.2. We hope that everybody ever interested in jailbreaks or unlocks was able to join in on the jailbreakme bonanza. Those of you who had Cydia capture your SHSH blobs, or those of you who captured them locally, will always be able to benefit from the jailbreakme.com v2.0 release. Congratulations!
Now it’s a few weeks later, and Apple has closed the jailbreakme.com hole. They’re shipping devices with FW 4.0.2/3.2.2, impervious to this particular jailbreak. So now, people will begin to ask: will there be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2, out of the box?
No, there won’t be. FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”.
If the cat & mouse game escalates too quickly, especially during beta FW periods, nobody but Apple benefits. For this reason, there won’t be a 4.0.2/3.2.2 jailbreak specifically during the period where 4.0.2/3.2.2 is the latest public release. At best, some future 4.1x FW jailbreak *may* be compatible with 4.0.2/3.2.2 (but don’t count on that).
If any of this is confusing, please ask below in our comments section!
P.S.: For those of you with iPhone3G or iPod Touch 2G(not MC version), it’s true you can always use redsn0w to jailbreak your 4.x devices. Don’t let that dilute the above message, though
The first PS3 modchip has arrived and confirm by several reliable sources
1. FAT32 is currently supported. They are working on NTFS.
2. They recommend staying on current firmware and not updating until they have deemed it safe. The dongle is fully updatable.
3. Online play does work but they cannot guarantee that it will work with all future titles.
4. Final retail units are ready to ship.
5. Official reseller list will be on their site in the next 48 hours. You can pre-order from any of the official resellers. There are websites out there now claiming to be selling but they are not legitimate. Don’t get ripped off. Wait until the official list is posted.
