With that hope we waited alot and finally we have the needed updated.

Skype for iPhone – iTunes Link

Now we could run Skype in the background. Skype calls would work as normal calls do. You can switch Apps, lock the phone and still your Skype would run as it should. Now calls made over 3G or Wi-Fi will no longer be restricted to users who have the Skype application running in the foreground. In addition, Skype revealed that it no longer plans to charge for calls made over 3G.

Skype for iPhone also includes the enhanced graphics supported by the iPhone 4’s Retina Display.

Digg App – iTunes Link

And the very buggy App ‘Digg’ is now updated. It supports Multitasking .

With much more stability and less crashes, this app makes it easy to share and Digg. Check it out.

But the comments on the videos are marquee top to bottom. They just keep on rolling down.

Not much to say, but do check out the YouTube Leanback looks great and could be for the coming Google TV.

Some say ‘given a few months its a competitor to iOS4 and Android’, some call is ‘snappy’ the final verdict is still incomplete. Though its buggy and still been developed sooner the final version would be out and phones would soon start shipping with Windows Phone 7 OS.

Google has been a dominating the search engine genre since the past decade, the new-looking and more efficient search engine, Bing is good but still hasn’t penetrated the market completely, despite having Y! which is playing around with Bing to beat Google it isn’t much favored search engine. The question is could @Blekko change this? Could it catch up the trend and break the benchmark Google and Bing has already set?

Still in the closed blekko stage of, the open beta would soon be out in few days ( i guess ) but the preview given to the @techcrunch team seems amazing. The founders seem very ambitious and confident about what they are doing would be successful sooner or later. They never shake while taking about Google or Bing. I love the passion they put it in the developing  this site, and the way they have been putting their ideas and the guts to create a  totally different kind of search engine.

Check  the videos to know everything and invitee to join the beta for @Blekko after the jump.

The site says ” @Blekko is in closed private beta. if you’d like an invite, follow us on twitter or send us a tweet.”

Well fortunately all the Google Apps have been so great and awesome that they came out of the Beta stage and evolved to something useful. The best thing about this invitation system is that no matter how useful or good that particular App is everyone wants a hold over that invitation.

Way back in 2007 Google bought something very revolutionary, a startup which was called Google Voice from Grand Central. The usage of Google voice is very simple, you register your number, get your Google Voice number and use it as you use without paying any extra charges. It uses your 3G network to establish calls to google voice numbers. 2006 was the year where it was first started by GrandCentral and went under serious testing and development, later almost 2 years later Google introduced Google voice to Grand Central subscribers, the only catch was that it was completely invitation based ( same trick worked for Google Mail, Gmail as we know now ). Now being very successful in promoting via ‘invite only’ methodology, Google has over 1 million Google Voice users.

Now as we all know Google voice is out of that phase and open for all. Wait what? Open for all!! Without wasting any time I went and logged in my Google Voice account ( I had a invite account, but never worked for me as it was in beta for US customers only ) to check how finally it looks like. But to my disappointment it was still open to US customers only.

Google says that there are now over one million people actively using the service. You can expect that number to balloon now that anyone can go to the site and sign up. So do register if you want to but only US customers would have the please to use it for now.

Google Voice is open, Open for Everyone

Hindustan Times has its own App in the App Store.

I guess this would be the only Indian Newspaper to join the herd of print media to have their own App in the App Store. Besides famous International Newspaper like NYT, FT and others, its good to see print media embracing the web.

Do check it out.

But now you can fix these errors, just download Cyfix from this site. Just download the Manual Scirpt. And get ready to do some  geeky stuff. This is a script and has to be run manually via terminal.

What you need?
OpenSSH
SSH Client
Download Terminal from Cydia

How to use:

-SSH the cyfix script onto the iDevice and place it in /usr/bin. Edit the file permissions to 0775

-Open Terminal > and login via as admin. Then run the script cyfix which wouldask you the troubling source url. Add the Source url which gives you that error and it would be removed. Still confused? Follow these commands

su root
alpine
cyfix
<url>

The first instance when you run cyfix it would install that script. Once the installation part is done, just respring your device and do it again. This time it would ask you the url.

Some Cyfix Commands
cyfix -h – help
cyfix u – updates (Checks for auto updates and udpates itself)
exitnow – At any time if you goof up typing the url in between, just type this command and hit return. It would exit cyfix.

That should solve your problem.

The new Windows Live Wave 4 seems exciting, with easy to share and chat options enabled its hard to miss the new spanking look they gave. With integrated social networking websites, and easier tabbed chatting we can’t wait for the beta to be released. It is expected it might be released by June 2010. The new messenger would have a better web messenger and a hotmail integrated client which would make it much easy to use. They also promised new games, video messaging and even High Definition Video Chat.

Its been almost a year since the last beta update by Windows Live. Alternately you can check out the new messenger features and updates here.

Along with this , Microsoft is also planning iPhone Applications which could really be a shocker for the internet.

About Spirit : This is a userland jailbreak for all the newer devices which weren’t jailbroken by blackra1n. Its for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch on the latest firmwares.

Requirements :

-Non-Jailbroken iPod Touch / iPhone / iPad with firmware 3.1.2 or 3.1.3.
-Latest version of iTunes
-Download Spirit

Now once you have all that, first thing to do is connect your device and back it up in iTunes. Dunno how to do that?
Oh snap its easy just connect your device and right click on the name of the device you would have one option for that.

Its wiser to backup your SHSH blobs if you are on a lower firmware, if you don’t know what is that, it doesn’t matter its for you to get back on the firmware if you need to downgrade. iTunes won’ t allow directly but backing up SHSH blobs would help.

HOW TO BACKUP SHSH BLOBS!?

Users on firmware 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 can use AutoSHSH.

Earlier firmware users follow these simple steps and try not to goof up.

• Download ECID Grabber from here or here.
• Download Firmware Umbrella from here or here
• Extra both of them in a folder.
• And read the amazing tutorial here

Once you are done we can proceed with Spirit JB.

USING SPIRIT TO JAILBREAK

• Download Spirit
• Start the program which you downloaded. For Windows users Right Click on it > Compalibility > Choose Run as Admin > Choose Compatibility Mode on Windows 95.
• The program would show you a text and tell you which device and which firmware you are on.
• Once you are sure what is going on and what  is running, Click on the button ‘ Jailbreak’ . If you hear some noises, see some some picture and a loading bar on your device, then its perfect you are in the perfect process.
  Wait for it to complete and device would restore and reboot. Let it happen itself. Its not magical but its instructed to do so. Once done, you would see a clean device with ‘Cydia’ icon on the second page. Voila! you are jailbroken and Cydia indicates you that

Error Code Fixes

Error : c0000138

Solution : Copy the file Libeay32.dll from
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\libeay32.dll

Many Antrivirus might call it a trojan, don’t worry as long as you download it from here it won’ t harm you computer, just shut off your Antrivirus/firewall and run again.

If you still get some error, try re-intsalling iTunes from a fresh setup. Clean you registry while doing that. Reboot your computer whenever asked and needed.

Fix to make Spirit Jailbroken device work in iFunbox.

Those who find iFunbox not working there is a easy solution for that. Go into Cydia and search for afc2add.
Install it and Reboot the device.

For any other problems or clarifications drop by a comment.

Finished with Jailbreaking but clueless what to do now?! Install the Must have Cydia Apps
