Rancilio Silvia Overheat

So yesterday, I did something stupid and left the apartment with my Silvia on. Not only was it on (which I've done before) but I left the steam switch on, which meant that the boiler was full of steam and prone to overheating. Luckily this guy saved me and explained exactly how to fix it, but the only reason I saw it was because he described it as the "Silvia won't heat problem". Perfect. Exactly my search query.

How to Get Free Wifi

I'm writing this from outside a Best Western in San Mateo, since I'm
waiting for a flight to land at SFO that has been delayed a bit. I
wanted to have Internet connection, and I just got to 90% of my data
cap this morning so I turned off data on my iPhone 4. I parked outside
the hotel, and the connection was unsecured. I connected but arrived
at a splash screen that required a password provided by the front
desk. I was too lazy to go out in the rain to talk to them. I texted
google (466453) to get the front desk number, called, got the
password, and voila! Not that impressive, but it was fun and easy to
use this combination to get what I needed.

Fix Push Notifications on iPhone following Jailbreak

So supposedly during the activation process on an iPhone when using iTunes, it certifies something that allows you to get Push notifications from Apple servers. This can go awry in "hacktivated" phones, but it also went wrong with my iPhone 4 when using AT&T, 4.2.1 legit and subsequently greenpois0n jailbroken. Anyway, PushDoctor fixed it nice and easy

Why is the power button for the iPod touch on the opposite side as
the. iPhones?? Is this worth an email to Steve?

iPhone Jailbreak-Unlock Bonanza!

Today, the unlock for nearly every baseband and bootloader was finally released, basically a slap in the face to Apple's patching of every exploit that the dev team and geohot have been finding. Thank heavens they did this all at once so we don't have to worry about what version we have and all that crap! Only problem is, I'm still worried about what's going on with my 3GS because its not really clear. So I'll have to play around with 4.0 update on my 2G Touch. Till tomorrow, then!

iPhone 3GS Jailbreak on 3.1.3

So I just bought a new white iPhone 3GS, running 3.1.3 stock already. After trying sn0wbreeze which worked easily on my 3.1.2 to upgrade and unlock, I was confused. I had also used sn0wbreeze to easily jailbreak 2 3G's in the past month. I just used Spirit, which is hands down the best jailbreak thus far. Even snappier than blackra1n (sorry, geohot). Can't wait to get OS 4.0 and jailbreak it. I wounder if any devs would just put up their ipsw?
