Apple has just released iWork 9.0.4 Update.
About iWork 9.0.4
This update addresses issues in Keynote, Pages, and Numbers, and adds export compatibility to Pages with the standard ePub file format (for use with iBooks).
It is a feature that is nice to have but rarely used on my Nexus One phone. Adobe just updated Flash for Android.
Text-Spam is really annoying because it actually uses the SMS quota, unless you have the ulimited plan.
I received another Text Spam message on August 15th, 2010. Don’t bother calling 1-305-877-4908 back, because it doesn’t take any phone calls and the voice mail-box is not set-up. All you need to do is to file complaints to FCC because such unsolicited text messages violate CAN-SPAM Act.
You should file form 1088G to report this violation. File a complaint on FCC site http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
You can also call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-2255-322) voice; 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-8355-322) TTY.
The text reads:
Do you owe $10,000+ to the IRS? Our gov’t approved program can REDUCE BACK TAXES by over 70%. Reply “YES” to see if you qualify! (optout,reply:out)
Text-Spam does violate the Communication Act of 1934.

I tried jailbreaking an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1 using JailbreakMe.com and it failed. What does this mean? Apple might have patched the particular security flaw utilized by JailbreakMe.com. Some say that JailbreakMe.com is exploiting a PDF font bug in Apple renderer.
I started the jailbreaking process @ 11:30 PM and 30 minutes later nothing is moving.
I call this a good news for iPhone users in general. Sure it stopped one method of jailbreaking but more importantly it closes a security hole.
I attempted the iPhone jailbreaking for demonstration purpose only.
Remember that Apple will not provide any supports for jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPad touch.
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.
