New Year's Day breaks iOS 6 Do Not Disturb mode

New Year's Day breaks iOS 6 Do Not Disturb mode, makes it silence your iPhone permanently

The Do Not Disturb mode introduced with Apple’s latest iOS 6 appears to have a serious bug. Since the turn of the year, it stopped functioning as promised and prevented quite a lot of people from getting their calls and messages.

The DND feature allows you to set a period of time when your iPhone will stop alerting you of incoming calls, messages and notifications. It doesn’t affects the alarms though.

Unfortunately since last midnight the DND mode won’t turn off automatically once the scheduled time comes and continues to silence pretty much everything. If you are in iPhone user, don’t panic, your friends didn’t forget you (probably), your phone is not alerting. And maybe those friends you have a hard time reaching since last night, are probably victims of the said bug.

Anyway, you can’t fix this with just switching the feature on/off (already tried this, it eventually get stuck again), so you’ll have to turn it off until an official update becomes available.

New version of redsn0w is out

New version of redsn0w is out, jailbreaks everything 4.3.2 but the iPad 2, again

Apple released iOS 4.3.2 shortly after iOS 4.3.1. It fixed a few things and brought another batch of security updates making the jailbreak tools unusable once again.

iPhone jailbreak

Well, the jailbreaking community is a hard working one and a new version of redsn0w compatible with the iOS 4.3.2 is now available.

The latest redsn0w version jailbreaks every iOS 4.3.2-supported device but the iPad 2. It seems Apple has done good job protecting it. The jailbreak works on iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G/4G and iPhone 3GS/4 (GSM).

If you are interested to jailbreak your iGadget just hit the link below. And make sure you read the instructions carefully!

A few leaked webOS 3

A few leaked webOS 3.0 screenshots give us a glimpse of what’s coming this summer

In case you haven’t heard HP is preparing to launch a webOS-based tablet called TouchPad this summer. It will run on the tablet-optimized webOS 3.0 that nobody has seen. Up until now.

Today five screenshots taken from a webOS 3.0 emulator escaped into the wild for our viewing pleasure.

The shots give us a glimpse into the browser, messaging, maps and music apps plus the dock icons and notification area.

As you can see all the apps use a minimalistic and intuitive interface. The Web (the browser app) has been renamed to Browser. There you can also see the new virtual QWERTY keyboard, which has a dedicated number row and a Next key to ease your interaction with various page elements (such as text fields).

The maps and messaging apps

HP replaced Google with Bing maps within the Maps application and added map scale info.

The notification area and the music player

The notification area now occupies just the upper right corner, while the Dock seems to be intact.

One more thing – the new music player seems awfully familiar. iPad anyone?

The webOS 3.0 seems promising and so does the TouchPad. We’ll know more this summer. The webOS should also be available on HP PCs and laptops later this year.

Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 is the first 7200 rpm 3TB 3

Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 is the first 7200 rpm 3TB 3.5-inch hard drive

Today Hitachi announced its Dekstar 7K3000 hard drive – the world’s first to offer 3TB storage and 7200 RPM speed. The 3.5” drive also supports 6Gb/s SATA interface and packs a whopping 64MB cache.

These specs should give it an edge over the other available 3TB internal drive – the Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green, which only runs at 5400 RPM.So if you have been delaying that hard drive update for until 3TB units get up to speed it might be time to jump in. The Deskstar 7K3000 offers maximum interface transfer rates of up to 600 MB/s and media transfer rates of up to 1656 Mb/s.

There’s no mention of pricing or target launch date just yet but those should be revealed in the coming weeks.
