Due to this little thing called NDA, information is still scarce. Not sure what changes are added into iOS 4.1 yet.

Developers can grab te iOS SDK 4.1 and iOS 4.1 for their iPhone and iPod touch at Apple Developer Center. As usual, each device running iOS 4.1 beta must be provisioned.

Microsoft, I Hate You!

One more reason why Microsoft’s Windows Genuine Advantage is annoying and bad.

WGA, not to be confused with Writers Guild of America or World Canadian Bureau, is simply annoying. Microsoft does not trust Windows users. In this case, Windows XP was factory pre-installed by Gateway before Windows Vista days. Microsoft Security Essentials was installed previously and passed WGA. So suddenly this meesage came up on not one but two computers. The second one was purchased from Dell with Windows XP pre-installed in March 2010.
