Permanent unlock for iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1 and 2.0.12 baseband (make neverlock)


This video shows AT&T locked iPhone 4S becoming never lock after we added it's IMEI to Apple's unlocked phones database.

Here (http://macsimum.com.ua/blog/?p=613) I've already wrote about our new fully legitimate unlocking service, without using any Gevey/R-SIM/Rebel4s turbosim cards and jailbreak. We can unlock any iPhone - 3G/3Gs/4/4S on any firmware, and within 1-3 days! Our unlock is permanent and your phone will remain unlocked forever.



 Our service costs $125, that is obviously more expensive then unlocking cards like Gevey, R-SIM and REBEL4S for $30-40, but these cards only work with one baseband version and one firmware, so you'll lose your unlock during the first iOS update. Moreover, you can have a lot of issues like a very slow cellular network search, problems with data plans and mms./All you need to do is to tell us your phones IMEI number, pay $85 and wait 1-3 days till we inform you, that your phone is unlocked. Than you need to connect your phone with unsupported SIM to iTunes or even connect to the internet through WiFi, and phone will become unlock in seconds! Than you pay $40 more (we have a technical ability to remove unlock again if you won't pay).

Phone unlock codes for any operator and manufacturer, worldwide. Make your iPhone or Blackberry factory-unlocked forever!


Recently I've been often asked to help with unlock codes for different smartphones. Mostly those are Samsung Focus, that's because I owe this one and write a lot about them. I'm tired of searching a good codes seller on ebay and waiting for his response. So I've signed a contract with one of the biggest codes provider and became their reseller. Now I can offer an unlock code for almost every model of any operator worldwide. And 2 weeks ago I've got a way to make even your iPhone 3G/3Gs/4/4S factory-unlocked, forever and without any jailbreaks and GeveySim.
To make an order you'll need to provide me your phones model, IMEI number (just dial *#06#) and name of operator whom your phone is locked to.
These are the most popular unlock codes, but you can contact me for the one, which is not on the list:

Clear and Clearer. Review of the "Clearer" list managing app for WP7


In addition to my last "search of alternatives to the iOS-apps for WP7" story.
Two weeks ago I've installed "Clear" list-manager for my wifes iPhone. I fell in love with its well-designed and intuitive UI and felt short of an app like that on my WP7 phone.


You can imagine my surprise when I've accidentally found even more clear app for list management on WP7 devices with an appropriate "Clearer" name, and fully copied design and UI mechanics from the original iOS app. Read more for review...



Application copies it's noble brother in everything, including gestures, even including ones that are absolutely useless in WP7. For example, pinching your fingers takes you from the contents of selected list to the screen where all your lists are. iPhone needed this gesture, it just doesn't have a hardware "Back" button, but any WP7 smartphone has one, and you'll never pinch your fingers instead of just tapping "Back" button. But, this is the only negative thing about this app I've found.


Starting the app takes you to the list screen. Push any of them down, and you'll create new list.


Pinching out in the middle of list creates a new one between the items you already had. Free demo-version is limited to have only one list and will remind you about that on every application close.

        

You can move items to the right to mark them as "Complete",  and to the left to delete it. You can change the colour of every list you have and even choose the background image for them. "Clearer" shows all your unempty lists names and items count on it's Live Tile.

I highly recommend "Clearer" for everyday use.

About IT-certification in Ukraine and Canada


I read a blog of one girl from Minsk (Belorussia) living in Vancouver (Canada), link to the blog. Marina works in a company specialized on Oracle products - databases and Java-applications.


Marina periodically mentions a good job offers from her company. I decided to assume job in their office an evacuation option in case my own business will give me unplanned vacation. At this moment I know nothing about Oracle databases or Java, so I looked for appropriate learning classes with a possibility to pass Oracle exams. I looked for them not only in Ukraine, but also in Canada, to check the difference in prices. I'd go into this classes in Canada, but the difference in price is significant. Moreover, IT certificates from Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco and others are international.

Instacam - a solid alternative to Instagram for WP7



Often we want to share the moment with friend or just save it for ourselves to revive it in future. I used a beautiful Instagram app on my iPhone. It is a very easy and convenient to use camera app with built-in photo editor that can apply awsome filters and add stylish borders to your images. Moreover, Instagram connects people in a social network, its popularity increases with astonishing speed, and has lead to $1B acquisition deal with Facebook. Today, there is no official Instagram client app for WP7. Android version is already released, and we were promised to get official client too, but nobody knows when.
Russian developers noticed an empty niche just in time and released an app functionally similar to Instagram, but with extended publishing compatible with Weibo and Vkontakte. Read more to find review...

Hackint0sh. How to setup Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 DP1 on your windows-laptop, for example Dell Vostro 3350


You have certainly read about Mountain Lion everywhere on the internet, so I will not stop on DP1 features itself. Today I'll show you how to install OS X 10.7, 10.8 DP1 or DP2. This instruction assumes you are advanced PC user, but even newbies can try it. I used my own Dell Vostro 3350 as an example.
This laptop is pretty much the same with 2011th Apple MacBook Pro 13", and 5200 result in GeekBench is best evidence (MacBook makes 5500-6000). Comparement :

Who said smoking kills?


Right.

Two years ago, in the very beginning of Windows Phone OS, LG announced an interesting smartphone - Optimus 7. And DLNA support was one of a few features that gave korean phone a little advantage amoung another models on the market. Using PlayTo application Optimus 7 users could use their phone like a DLNA-player and stream Photos, Music and even HD Video to DLNA-enabled TV's through WiFi, in two taps and without any difficult configuration.


And now Nokia shows us their Play To application with fairly the same functionality, and it was immediately setup on my Samsung Focus with custom fully-unlocked firmware.
