With the release of Firmware version 4.2.1, rises the concern of jailbreaking and unlock compatibility. If your waiting for an unlock, wait for the ability to create custom 4.2.1 firmwares. If you’re not an unlocker, then there is good news for jailbreaking your devices.
Those of you who own an iPhone3G, older iPhone3GS, and non-MC iPod touch 2G will benefit the most with this news from the Dev-Team. They explain that due to a combination of the original pwnage2 exploit, the arm7_go exploit, 24kpwn, and limera1n, your device is “just as jailbreakable as ever.”
For those of you with the newer devices, geohot’s limera1n exploit, will actually work just fine. The unfortunate news is that, as of right now, the 4.2.1 jailbreak is *tethered* on new devices. What is a tethered jailbreak? "A tethered jailbreak means that each time your device loses battery power or needs to be rebooted, you must attach it to a PC or Mac

Orange and T-Mobile will subsidize Wi-Fi + 3G iPads for customers who order 18 month and 24 month service plans. Although there's no pricing information from either company or their parent Everything Everywhere, reports claim that the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G 16GB will be available for £200, which about $320 US.
The UK advertising site MarketingWeek was out first with the news that Everything Everywhere, the British wireless behemoth formed out of the merger of Orange UK and T-Mobile UK was planning to sell iPads at reduced prices for the Christmas holiday. Orange later acknowledged the plan in a press release, but there is as yet no official confirmation from T-Mobile, and no information about pricing.

A new version of the Nintendo 64 emulator Mupen64Plus has been released.
Quote:
November 22nd, 2010: Version 1.99.4 is tagged and released. This latest beta build is dedicated to all the users out there who don´t compile from source code. I felt sorry for people who were banging their heads on bugs that were fixed months ago in the source code. So here is a new release, all packaged up and ready to run.
Mupen64Plus
Added some type checking to ConfigGetParameter() function, and a new error type
Bugfix: avoid segfault in the video extension code if SDL initialization fails (because video plugin fails)
Added new CoreGetRomSettings() function for front-ends
Allow to run dynarec in hardware DEP protected windows
Allow core .cfg parser to accept strings without quotes around them
API change: use new ReadScreen2() video plugin function
New re-entrant R4300 disassembler, from tty68k/zzt32, a man who loves MIPS processors
makefile fixes and improvements, code cleanups
Mupen64Plus-audio-sdl
Bugfix: Plugin should write default config values at startup time
Bugfix: fixed fast-forward for banjo-kazooie and other games which was broken due to limitation in basic resampling algorithm
makefile fixes and improvements
Mupen64Plus-input-sdl
Bugfix: Do configuration during PluginStart(), so GUI will see defaults (auto-configured) the first time it is run
Move axis value reducers to right shift and right ctrl, to avoid conflict with A/B buttons
New feature: extra deadzone parameter in axis() config parameter clause when mapping an analog joystick axis to an N64 button
many new joystick auto-configurations
makefile fixes and improvements
Mupen64Plus-rsp-hle
merged all big-endian fixes from mupen64gc project
makefile fixes and improvements
Mupen64Plus-UI-Console Front-End
add some parameter checking for --emumode option
new cheat file format from spinout182
makefile fixes and improvements
Mupen64Plus-Video-Rice
new feature: anisotropic filtering
new feature: trilinear filtering
new feature: mipmaps
cleaned up FindScaleFactor function based upon r45 of the 1964 repo
bugfix: buffer overrun (and crash) when reading vendor string info on some opengl implementations
API change for reading the video buffer: new interface is more flexible and avoids some potential problems
support for anti-aliasing (GL_MULTISAMPLE)
makefile fixes, improvements, and code cleanups

Total_Noob told me a few days ago that the Hen was very close to completion, and he confirmed that in a post on the german site pspking.de. He announced that his Hen now has 98% homebrew compatibility, a VSH menu (probably similar to what we have on the m33 and Gen CFW), and a “NanGuard” feature, which will prevent people from stupidly writing stuff to the flash.
source PSPKing.de (thanks to Ah-Chai and Mark for the tip!)
Last time I spoke to Total_Noob, there were still a few thing to finalize and a few bugs to fix, such as unlocking the 32MB of extended memory on models that support it.
Note that although Total_Noob announced that his Hen will not have ISO support, several teams are already actively working on game Loaders (such as Open Idea Iso Loader by dridri, which supposedly loads ISO/CSO and PSX games). Such loaders will probably be made compatible with firmwares 6.xx with little effort, and I am more and more confident that it will be a matter of days after the release of the Hen before things such as iso loading or plugin support are made available.
A Hen (Homebrew ENabler) is a tool that allows to run unsigned software (homebrews) on a PSP directly from the XMB. By default a HEn only allows homebrew loading (even though Total_Noob pushed the limits a bit further by adding features such as a VSH menu) and is not very different in its goals from a tool such as HBL. But unlike HBL, it relies on a Kernel exploit, which basically gives access to all the features of the PSP. It allows users to get full control of their psp, for better or for worse. ...by Published on November 23rd, 2010 01:50

Xbox director of incubation tells NPR nobody will get in trouble for writing code that supports motion-sensing camera on non-Xbox 360 devices.
Two weeks ago, an industrious software engineer created open-source drivers, which allowed the Kinect camera to be used with a PC. At the time, Microsoft responded with some legal saber-rattling, saying that it would "work closely with law enforcement and product safety groups to keep Kinect tamper-resistant."
Soon thereafter, Microsoft denied that what the engineer did constituted hacking the Kinect at all. That sentiment was echoed on the Science Friday edition of Talk of the Nation by Alex Kipman, director of incubation for Xbox at Microsoft.
"The first thing to talk about is Kinect was not actually hacked," explained Kipman. "Hacking would mean that someone got to our algorithms that sit on the side of the Xbox and was able to actually use them, which hasn't happened. Or it means that you put a device between the sensor and the Xbox for means of cheating, which also has not happened. That's what we call hacking, and that's why we have put a ton of work and effort to make sure it doesn't actually occur."
He continued, "What has happened is someone wrote an open-source driver for PCs that essentially opens the USB connection, which we didn't protect by design, and reads the inputs from the sensor. The sensor again, as I talked earlier, has eyes and ears and that's a whole bunch of, you know, noise that someone needs to take and turn into signal."
When asked if anyone would "get in trouble" for writing such code or finding other uses for the Kinect camera, Kipman had a direct answer: "Nope. Absolutely not." Indeed, Microsoft Game Studios' studio manager Shannon Loftis was effusive in her praise of those who had taken the Kinect into their own hands for non-gaming applications. One such application saw an MIT grad student hooking up a Kinect to a Roomba-like iRobot that could follow hand commands and scan rooms.
"I'm very excited to see that people are so inspired that it was less than a week after the Kinect came out before they had started creating and thinking about what they could do," she said.
