Well Apple has released another update but it appears that they didn’t bother to announce the update. I was just pushed out and supposedly resolves a bunch of little issues, with things like ‘connectivity’ according to the notes I read. But the real news is the fact that new iPhone 3GS shipping as we speak to a vendor near you will be using the new Bootrom, the iBoot 359.3.2 which protects the iPhone from jailbreaking using the 24kpwn exploit.
The iPhone Dev-Team is currently working on a possible solution, but are making several suggestions to anyone thinking of getting a new 3GS and what to do to prepare for any chance of jailbreaking it. I’d like to say I didn’t see this coming but honestly I’m surprised it took this long. How long it lasts? Well, stay tuned.
For the rest of the public, PwanageTool 3.1.4 has been released and works with the new update. Feel free to comment about how you feel about jailbreaking, and this development and whether this will sway your decision to purchase an iPhone.

As part of my constant survey of false and misleading job ads, I came across this interesting one on craigslist at this link. http://calgary.en.craigslist.ca/etc/1415300999.html
It tells us that if we participate in the “focus group” that we will get paid $100 for this. Well I’ve participated in many surveys and ‘focus groups’ and enjoy doing so, but many are not all they seem, and some are downright invasive about ‘knowing your personal lifestyle’ or worse, resellers of your information. So I decided to check it out and reply to the email listed in the ad as Haley.Axel@gmail.com. My first suspicion about this was when I received a reply almost immediately. Very rarely do ad responses get immediate replies, and instead of asking for a time to meet, it simply directed me to a ‘screener’ survey via Survey Monkeys. Well Survey Monkeys is a free online service anyone can use to generate surveys and submit them. So I’m thinking they wanted to stick me into doing a survey for free. Well the questions were in my mind serving nothing other than providing a clear redirect to the real company Lightspeed Reasearch, based in New Jersey, to ‘become a member’. Well membership is free so I’m thinking so far so good right?
