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.

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.

In the mind of many people in the world, July 16th is an important date in the History of the World. It is definitely not about some nobody’s birthday, but it is the launch date for Apollo 11 Mission. The Mission that landed Man on the Moon!

Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin blasted off the Earth to the Moon.

July 20th, 1969
Neil Armstrong and “Buzz” Aldrin became the first and second human to step on The Moon, respectively.

These Days
Nut jobs still believe that Apollo 11 Mission was a hoax.

July 16th, 2010
Apple to hold a press conference, exposing the truth about Moon Landing Hoax. After all, it would be the one information that will take the attention away from the so called iPhone 4 Antenna Issue.

Futurama pokes fun at Apple with eyePhone.

In the third episode of the new season, Futurama pokes fun at Apple with the eyePhone. Mimicking real life, the episode “Attack of The Killer App” shows:

  • People are lining up to buy the eyePhone.
  • People don’t care if it costs a lot of money.
  • People don’t care if there’s no Carrier choice.
  • People don’t care if the battery doesn’t hold charges.

By the way, Planet Express Crews also figured out that the eyePhone also makes calls.

Other tidbits from the episode:

  • The Real Housewives of Sim City
  • Mentos
  • Twit-worm
  • Spybot
  • Susan Boils that sings show-tunes.
