For those who are interested, the best source for iPhone hacks is iPhone Dev. All others are imitation.

You mean the part that says their work is non-commercial and must not be sold, eh?

It's kinda hard to stay angry at someone who like you who's quick with the glib answers 

@Inferis, naijafan, cabali
javarules just seems like a decent guy who needs the dough. I think we've placed enough warnings to people that they can do things themselves if they want to. What he's doing isn't that much more different from what they're doing in computer village et al.
We can't scare eveyone away, and there are suckers being born every minute 

If there are people foolish enough to spend N30k and  still come away with a 'fried' phone, then there'll always be a market for this feller.

Ex you forgot to add flyuche.

This is the reason why i can't afford to format my XP partition

Not sure if i can do any reasonable benchmarks with my current hardware. I mean, i could easily install Windows 7 in my VAIO but the XP install is pretty slow now after two years. I'm in that terminal period where i'm waiting to buy my next laptop, still waiting for the perfect blend of 15.4 inch screen and a 512 MB Geforce 9800.
With only 1GB RAM on my ageing VAIO and too many bloatware apps running on startup, i don't think i'm gonna get anyu definitive results from that


That leaves the netbook. it comes pre-installed with XP, so i sat down last night to install OSX86. After 2 hours of battle i managed to get a dual boot of OSX and XP. So i tried to triple boot with Windows 7, managed to install WIndows 7 on a third partition but now it's only the Win 7 bootloader up. Tried using Easy BCD to add OSX and XP to the Win 7 bootloader, the thing no gree work

I managed to grab one screenshot showing Win 7 memory usage on the netbook. Here goes.

Ex Inferis:
its matured considerably, and is almost what itunes *should* have been. if only they can get it to install apps.

redsn0w is likely the new ipod touch jailbreak.

Have they gotten the ipod section to work in PC Suite? Haven't updated in a while.

@moonraker
Well, i know Microsoft optimized Win 7 to use far less resources than Vista. Not sure about the 'customized for netbooks' part, but i think i can understand. The components of most netbooks are pretty generic. Similar screens, similar touchpads from synaptics etc, audio drivers from realtek etc.
It also helps that 99% of netbooks use the intel GMA 950 integrated graphics.
So out of the box, it's easy for MS to include all the required drivers for optimized performance.


At least that's what i think. I'm downloading the build 7000 and will install later this night, will try and provide info on the memory usage.

i think i came across a guide online for using Vlite to strip down windows 7 also. how much impact will streamlining the OS have on battery life?

ogbronx:
black people have a very serious problem.this guy suggested something and for that you want to hang him.no common front and ideology.we are the first to kill a brother before a foreigner.i really pity the nature of blacks

Don't be daft. Are we to join in a boycott simply because a fellow black man calls for it?
People with proper documents and a compelling reason for going to the UK are given Visas. They know legal visitors from Nigeria contribute to the UK economy.

Instead of directing your anger at the UK embassy, why not have the courage to direct your anger at the Nigerians who flock there with outrageously forged documents from Oluwole, the Nigerians that managed to get over there with fake papers, the ones that went under seemingly legit purposes and then absconded. many of these Nigerians have only served to give an extremely bad impression of Nigerians in the minds of many people in Europe.

Lagosboy:
You have seen in the foreign affairs section we castigate the zionists and not all the jews. Pls be objective dont take an isolated case and make judgement. Was it not you that castigated a religous sect in reference to muza and ibnmalik because he asked a question abt Bush and Hitler?

Here you go

Where does Frizy get off using racist and abusive terms to describe Obama?

One more thing; there's a particularly delicious irony about your reactions. You castigate the poster for generalization, yet i've seen too many posts here in which many prominent members of your community call for 'Allah's punishment on the Jews', that call the jews 'devils'

There are Jews in israel who would not hurt a fly. There are women and children that only crave peace. There are hundreds of jews in front of the Israeli embassy calling for a ceasefire.
Yet you label them all as 'devils'

There's hypocrisy at play here. And it stinks.

@ poster
Aw old r u?.

Shame on you lot. the original poster is speaking from the very personal pain of seeing his cousin and wife shot dead by someone he was very close to. And yes, it was motivated by religious differences.
When you put that terrible event together with the fact that the deed happened after friday services, is it so difficult to imagine the distrust he may feel?

It's not right to generalize, but seeing the trauma he has been through there are more sympathetic ways of discussion.

Why are you people treating this fellow with Kid gloves? he didn't even bother to state the circumstance behind his being denied a Visa before he's calling for a boycott.
As i speak, an old friend of mine is going out for her Masters in scotland. So all the hundreds of Nigerians applying for study visa, they should stay away because a rabble rouser asked them to, abi?

Most people applying for the UK Visa fail to make a compelling case on why the Visa should be given to them. Given the sheer amout of forged documents that turn up with applicants, there's no surprise that they apply some form of Zero Tolerance to the process.

What a load of bullcrap. Everyone knows that Obasanjo is absolutely honest and has no hand in corrupt dealings.

Ribadu told us so, didn't he?

javarules:
u guys are pathetic. Just got a call from someone who claims to have read this post and he was asking to see me personally, wonder why he wants to, maybe its even cabali, or tex, or logical. The person drops off when I asked him his name on nairaland.

Well for those who think I have no client yet, yes you are right, I have no client yet from nairaland, maybe u guys are too smart to own an iPhone!

And for those who will try to reply trying to be funny?? Thanks I appreciate it, its part of the advertisement, at least you make the post get first ten places on the forum.

ciao

lol. Did you stop to wonder if the guy that wanted to see you personally was an assassin sent to do the world a favor?
Don't worry, we're quite happy to bump your post so it stays up, seems like you need the money pretty bad

noetic:
how true is that?

Completely true.
In the NNPC, SPDC, Agip and Elf joint venture, the partnership is about 50% NNPC, 30% Shell, then 10% Agip and Elf. But this sharing formula applies after taxation!

When a barrel of oil comes out, the government takes 80% flat as Royalties

the remaining 20% is now taxed, and after the costs have been recovered from the remaining, the remainder is shared in the Joint Venture percentage.

For example, at $60 per barrel the Federal Govt and NNPC combined take more than $50.


The volumes are usually big, so there's still enough profit to go round, but the govt takes by far the most amount.




Not sure what the contract terms with Mobil and Chevron since they aren't int hat joint venture partnership.

[quote author=B.O.S.S. link=topic=212564.msg3339663#msg3339663 date=1231949409]It's cool if you feel Keyamo deserves your support as the man to abate corruption in Nigeria, that's fine. In actual fact nobody should crucify you for that however these guys pledging their support feel, about Ribadu, the same way you feel about Keyamo.
.[/quote]I never said he was the one to abate corruption in Nigeria. All i'm saying is, right now he seems to be fighting the good fight. Let him keep that up while we all take our positions for the battle against corruption.

[quote author=B.O.S.S. link=topic=212564.msg3339663#msg3339663 date=1231949409]On a personal opinion, neither Ribadu nor Waziri have pleased the Nigerian populace when it comes to fulfilling our dreams of seeing the back of corruption and to an extent I cannot blindly support Keyamo seeing the hard core evidene provided by Sahara Reporters when it comes to allegations against our politicians. I thought I could trust an activist, but seeing the ever vocal Reuben Abati yet to respond to the allegations of receiving land plots in Abuja as a bribe from the same people he's criticising, my brain has woken and now I have to think twice before thinking of trusting any Nigerian activist,politician or whoever, not even Ribadu.

The saying, once beaten twice shy, comes to mind.[/quote]1. Most of the evidence provided by Sowore are circumstantial at best and will not make for a compelling case. I for one am not eager for us to throw away our chances of nailing these corrupt bastards by getting it wrong the first time.

Reuben Abati was alllocated land in Abuja, land he applied for. Sowore provided zero evidence that the land was meant as a bribe to Abati. Naturally, he knew that ever-fickle Nigerians would jump to the most negative conclusions.

In a way, it's ironic. People complain that Ribadu was mistreated, yet they are quite happy to condemn Reuben Abati because of one man's sly insinuation. Sowore insinuated that Keyamo may have been settled with money and keyamo was forced to make a reply that damned him further in the eyes of Nigerians. What incentive does Reuben Abati have to respond? any response will only add fuel to the fire, and Sowore can keep throwing further dirt on the matter until all but himself are besmirched.

Naturally, Nigerians have come to believe that Saharareporters can do no wrong, so Sowore is in an enviable position indeed.

The Only winner in this is Sowore himself. One sentence from him and people are already readying the tar and feathers for both Keyamo and Abati.

@moonraker
I never called you a liar or anything like that. But even you must admit that you're running a tweaked version of Vista against Win 7. Bit of an unfair comparison.
When writing a review, it's always nice to specify test system and conditions. To be fair, you DID specify your system config, but you could stand to be a bit more informative about the 'idle' process. Did you check the RAM footprint just after bootup? That's what most of the other reviewers are doing, so it's a good way to compare your scores.

I wasn't aware AMD had started shipping the 48xx series GPUs. They must be pretty capable indeed! But it'd be nice if you could shed more light on the drivers you're using for the card. Is it the Vista drivers provided by AMD, or the native drivers that come with Win 7?
For such a powerful GPU, it's safe to assume that you'd hit max performance in the RTM version.


Online reviews and web opinions are a great way to find out more information about something. That's how i know what games to buy, what movies to see, etc. It's not like Movies or Art where opinions are subjective. hardware and software tests should be reasonably definite as long as it's done scientifically. That's why i'm more inclined to accept the general online consensus of Win 7 being faster, leaner and less resource hungry than Vista.

Vista runs crap on netbooks, even with Aero disabled. Windows 7 runs so well with Aero enabled that Microsoft has used several in their demonstrations. That in itself tells me that Win 7 is more optimized than Vista SP1.

Really such a shame that he is entire clueless on the amount of oil profit the Government retains. Nigeria keeps well over 80% of the proceeds from the sale of Crude oil.

[quote author=B.O.S.S. link=topic=212564.msg3338992#msg3338992 date=1231939338]My friend, why this attack?

Who says your method is the only tried and trusted means? Why do we Nigerians have to go your way? Keyamo is not a saint neither is Ribadu so why rubbish one and not the other. This is a democracy and that's why we all have our opinions on whom we think is corrupt and not corrupt. We can not all go to bed facing your side I'm afraid.[/quote]I prefer to see this as Nigerians fighting corruption. If Keyamo is currently battling his way to exposing the fraud in the National Assembly, then let him be that weapon. However, i will not invest in him my complete trust like you guys seem to be doing with Ribadu.

it's not about my method. All the things i wrote were examples of things Nigerians can do. The summary of my piece is simply that Nigerians should join in the fight against corruption at all levels.

i'm curious, though. Please explain to me how saying the truth serves to 'rubbish' Ribadu. Take a step back from listing his achievements and decide how much corruption in Nigeria had actually reduced.

I cringe at how pathetic my fellow Nigerians can be. Not one of you has the balls to stand up and fight corruption in Nigeria. Like the cowards you are you are eager to have an arrowhead, a figure head, a messiah to do all the dirty work for you. Hence the 'fight' for Ribadu.

Nigeria's struggle against corruption transcends Ribadu. It transcends EFCC. it falls on the shoulders of all Nigerians to take back their country from corruption. It makes me sick whenever i see someone claiming that the fight against corruption ends with Ribadu. Why?!!

Even with Ribadu in charge, corruption ate deeper in Nigeria. Under Obasanjo's anti-corruption watch, 419 moved from being an activity people did in private to something that was celebrated. Multi-billion dollar bribes were given and taken. Corruption ran rife in the Power, roads and housing sector.

Take off the rose-tinted glasses and see how ineffective an anti-corruption fight entrusted to one man really was. Alams was humbled, but was that a deterrent to other Governors? Tafa balogun was arrested, was that enough to clean up the police?

Sign petitions calling for the recall of corrupt politicians. Forget about the ongoing quarrel with saharareporters and support and encourage keyamo to continue his case against the House exco for the car purchase scam. He still remains the most high profile voice fighting on right now. Excommunicate the Yahoo boys around you, work to ensure people around you do the right thing.

All these will serve to improve Nigeria.

None of you can be arsed to fight for the passage of the FOI bill, yet you're willing to waste energy fighting a lost cause.

Hands on Experience

there are so many good reviews about windows 7 ( how good it is and worth not))

but as someone has mentioned, i though windows 7 was going to be click open.

maybe its just me or my hardware (Core2Extreme 3.2ghz 8Gb ram, 300gb at 10,000prm, Ati 4870X2)

but windows vista feels faster than windows 7. this is my opinion.

I mentioned Windows 7 was faster than Vista on low end systems, but with powerful rigs Vista SP1 actually outperforms Xp. I cannot remember making a comparison between speeds in Vista and Windows 7 on high end machines.
However, bear in mind that
1. This is still beta software
2. While driver support is pretty good and in most cases compatible with Vista's, there is definitely room for improvement.

You actually go a long way to corroborate my stance that there was nothing wrong with Vista in the first place as long as it's running on capable hardware.

I do have an objection to your test, however. It isn't scientific enough, and is extremely subjective.
here's an option:
1. Get a big Winzip or WinRAR file and extract it. Check time taken to do so in Vista and Windows 7
2. Check time taken to launch popular programs like Word, Excel, Powerpoint ETC
3. Time taken to copy a file from one folder to another

That way you have real-world benchmarks to compare against.

moonraker:
the WEI score in vista is 5.9 for everything.

in windows 7?? kai, its like 5.4 for the lowest.

The WEI scale in Vista goes from 1 - 5.9
The scale in Windows 7 goes up to 7.9

I would think that that alone should show you that it wasn't a simple port over from Vista.

moonraker:
by the way bigrovar is soooo right, i stay within 700MB at idle times but then again ram is not an issue so thats fine,

please, don't come blap here. don't copy and paste from somewhere. try it out and get yur facts right

thank you

'blap'?

i've found that 'Copy and paste' is a somewhat derisory phrase used by people with no intention of facing the real issues. I provided links and included excerpts and screenshots to make it easier on readers. So what's the issue with that?

At this stage, yourself, bigrovar and myself are all online reviewers, similar to what everyone else is doing. If i had a Win 7 machine at hand i would have checked it out myself. But i don't. So for now, not only will i go with the majority, but it doesn't hurt that this same majority also have a more scientific methods for presenting their case (you didn't even think to include a screenshot).

We gain nothing by unneccessary strife. So let's do the reasonable thing and focus on knowledge.

Can you confirm your Vista is SP1? Are you running a Vlite trimmed down version of Vista?

I will try and install Win 7 on another MSI wind netbook tonight and see what the results give.

angellexy:
even sef, i dey even try make we meet so that we go know who fine, beautiful,handsome,urgly and cute.
and u no even appreciate am.

Can someone else confirm that this (and sex) is the point of this proposed 'party'? If so, let me know ASAP so i can turn my attention to far more important stuff.

angellexy, there's no excuse for putting 'r' in 'ugly'.

if u have anything to gist about, ur free. no body hold your hand to reply. as for nw him, he likes grooving and he is talking about hw he spent his xmas. if u don't have what to say, please tell us about hw u spent ur xmas. we wount flog u, rather we might clap for u. and if u don't have anything to type, stop wasting ur 1hr ticket. (no dey pocknose)

Stop being childish.
I could have sworn the objective of this was to set up a meeting point where people could meet and hang out. How much of that is going to happen at a generic, noisy party?

'Get together' sounds much more refined, and it connotes people just chilling, getting to know each other and exchanging ideas.

You're probably the only person i've seen that spells 'won't' as 'wount'. Interesting

@Naijafan
could have sworn the touch HD used a capacitive screen. Only played with one briefly, but i guess you're right since it came with a stylus.

Typical of you to use a deliberately misleading title. What Chemical weapons are being used in Gaza?

Hundreds of thousands are marching in protest in Syria, Iran, Egypt et al. Shame your courage only extends to posting wildly exaggerated reports on a public forum.

hajifaty:
This is a real crime and act of terrorist by the Israel. Israel and the west really want to abolish the Muslim worlds which is not possible. The palestine people are defendless people, no army,no navy and no air force. this is really sad may God purnish the terrorist state of Israel and her  western allies. Their end is totally near.
If they really want to go war, why not start with iran that have enough capacity of military force with them then we all start to withness the beingnig of  WWIII.
Why did  mr BUSH rejected  the  request for american bomber jet to be used against Iran last, I guess by now Israel would have be come history.
They really want to  commit their massacre against the Gazan people.
May God safe us from these world terrorist that call themselves world powers.

lol. The Iranian army is no match for the Israeli army.
The iraqi army was the most powerful standing army in the middle east. yet they were comprehensively defeated in 3 weeks.

May God save the world from extremists like you. You condemn hate and bloodshed, yet you preach hate and bloodshed.
Do you need any more encouragement to volunteer for martyrdom in Gaza? Go ahead and sign up, the Arabs need more cannon fodder to fuel the Gears of War.

And you think you are 'discussing issues' by posting ganja fuelled lies? I expected some crazy rhetoric but even i was shocked at the brazen lie. 2 Million Iraqi civillians?

BWAHAHAHAHAAHA!!

javarules:
well I think u are so knowledgable about the iPhone, when my first client come I will bring the phone to u to unlock for free, if you giv me ur number I go even direct those wu can't pay 10K to u.

WARNING: Except you definitely know what you are doing, do not FRY your iPhone in d name of u can do it yourself. 30K can't buy a new one, so if u use 1/3 or even 2/3 of that to unlock it risk-free I say u do.

And if u ask me, never giv ur iPhone to someone wu says he can do it for free, he just want to use ur iPhone to practice. and he fries it(like someone actually did) he is not liable to you, at least u didnt pay right

True there are softwares online dt u can use, but even good softwares dey msibehave, not to talk of hacked ones.

Why do you think the iPhone DEV guys say they are not liable if ur iPhone fries while trying to unlock it

Food for tot guys, Food for tot.

Thank God you've disclosed that your first 'client' hasn't come yet. Hopefully people on Nairaland are far too smart to fall for a smarmy weasel like yourself.
And what the heck do you mean by 'good software and hacked ones'?

'Research' my butt

@tboy
Will pay 90k. deal?

My Stand

In the past few months Keyamo has been the most vocal Nigerian anti-corruption activist. Who can forget the stormy session he had in the House of Reps over the car purchase scam? As we speak, investigations are still underway.

Last year showed discerning Nigerians that Saharareporters was not to be trusted. They claimed to have impeccable information claiming that the missing Beechcraft plane was actually diverted to a neighbouring country by an ex-governor to carry his loot. This report put the families of the missing pilot and air crew in serious grief and trauma.
That is, until the plane and the bodies of the pilot and stewardess were found.
Until i see compelling, hard evidence from Saharareporters et al, i will now take their exposes with a grain of salt.

Are you guys serious?!

What exactly did Sowore prove? keyamo asked for evidence against Waziri et al, and all sowore could do is churn out circumstantial evidence.

for example

(a) The secret letter from the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa sent to Mr. James Ibori's lawyers, which included outright lies about his status was provided by SaharaReporters and carried by The Punch newspapers.

Outright lies, maybe. but if he's to be on trial for corruption, there should be evidence of corrupt dealings, not 'lies'.

(b) The letter from the Attorney General and Minister of Justice Mr. Michael Aondoakaa addressed to the French authorities to exonerate former Minister of Petroleum Resources under General Sani Abacha, Mr. Dan Etete was again provided by SaharaReporters. This letter was written after Mr. Aondoakaa received a hefty bribe and was aimed at convincing the French authorities that Etete was innocent on the Nigerian side. This letter was duly ignored by the French court that later sentenced the former minister to jail in absentia.

Yes. There's a letter. They have that. But where's the proof that Aondaaka received bribes from Dan Etete to write the letter?

(c) A report detailing how the minister purchased a house -23 David Bamigboye Street, at the Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja worth N110 million from a former member of the House of Representatives Mr. Kayode Amusan from Ogun State. Though he explained it away as belonging to his cousin, a certain Mr. Robert Orhya; yet up till now, Mr. Aondoakaa has staunchly ignored our challenge that he produces the title and documentations in the name of the said Mr. Robert Orhya or cause the latter to do same to support his claim.

'staunchly ignoring a challenge' cannot be construed as proof of corruption in a court of law. This is why Saharareporters and Nigerians should fight for the FoI bill to be passed so such documents are readily available.

(d) A memo written to the Nigerian Law Reform Commission requesting N1.1 million. This amount was requested from each department of the Ministry of Justice for a mere press conference.

At best this is an allegation of profligacy.

(f) Mr. Aondoakaa’s curious stoppage of the prosecution of businessman Jimoh Ibrahim on forgery charges even where the EFCC had claimed it had a watertight case against him complete with solid evidence.

LMFAO. Since when did 'curious stoppage' become compelling evidence? Show proof that Jimoh Ibrahim provided a bribe to Aondaaka and that becomes hard evidence.


Look, my point is simple. Keyamo is a lawyer and he needs compelling evidence to pursue any case to a logical conclusion. Sowore needs to focus more on providing hard evidence to back up his claim so these corrupt people can be nailed to the wall!
