Google Voice in Gmail, Receiving calls.

I spend most of my time out of my office, working on various projects. It would be nice to have the ability to receive calls on my computer using Google Voice. Google now makes it possible.

To enable receiving Google Voice calls in Gmail, check the box next to Google Chat in the list of forwarding phones.

Now I can be somewhere else to receive calls without having it to ring the office phone. I could forward it to my mobile phone, but sometimes the signals are non-existent. Care to guess which mobile network I’m with?

Does JailbreakMe.com works on iOS 4.1 beta 3?

With the release of iOS 4.1 beta 3, many wonder if Apple has patch the supposed PDF security flaw that’s exposed by JailbreakMe.com.

So far, JailbreakMe.com warned that the (iOS) version is too new, and recommend downgrading to previous version.

Video is coming up.

I haven’t done the jailbreak yet, because I have not set the camera up. I will jailbreak the iPhone for demonstration purpose only.

Remember that Apple will not provide any supports for jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPad touch.

RENO 911! cast sans Wendi and Mary are here. Wendi McClendon-Covey is working on a movie and Mary Birdsong is working on a Broadway Show.

Some cast and crew of RENO 911: A XXX Parody are also in the audience.

The RENO 911! cast making colorful commentaries to the parody of their show during the showing of the XXX Parody sans the nudity and sex. Well, they are “dissecting” the acting and the set.

There were some Q&A sessions and RENO 911! props giveaway. Niecy had to leave early because she had a shooting schedule in early morning. Audience members walked home with free copies of the parody DVD.

After the show I talked to Cedric and Carlos while the rest of the cast either gone or busy talking to other people. The last time I saw both of them was back in May at Carlos’ wedding. We are making plan to bring you more updates really soon.
