About a month ago, Chronic Dev Team created a crash report tool that allowed users to connect their iDevice to their PC and send any iOS crash reports to the Dev Team, rather than sending them to Apple. This was all done in hopes of finding security holes which would provide us with information on how to exploit iOS 5 devices. As you remember, thousands…

THe e-Urinal is a terribly named conceptual pisser by Royce Zhang that has sensors capable of measuring your body’s most important health acronyms like PH/SG/URO/BLO/WBC/PRO/GLI/BIL/KET. Granted I have no clue what any of those are, or if it’s even possible to measure them measure them that fast, I’m just a man who is like, waaaaaaaay into urinals. *waiting for diagnosis* “CRITICAL HEALTH WARNING: YOUR URINE IS 85% VOMIT.” Woopsie daisy! *peeing on floor*
Hit the jump for a couple more renderings of the urine luck and might not have to pee in a cup this time. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
Looking for a reason to continue hoping the AT&T deal doesn’t go through with T-Mobile? Try a Consumer Reports survey that places AT&T dead last in both postpaid and prepaid categories for customer satisfaction. While Consumer Report surveys aren’t always weighed with the utmost of accuracy, the result of the 22 metropolitan areas breakdown didn’t result in any cities giving AT&T the top position for wireless satisfaction.
T-Mobile on the other hand took the top spot in Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Verizon was the clear winner in this survey taking the top spot in 12 out of the 22 cities leaving Sprint and U.S. Cellular to duke it out for the other 7 cities. T-Mobile might have taken the third place spot on the postpaid chart but still managed to trounce AT&T along with Sprint, Verizon and a host of regional providers.
While we don’t have a copy of the full report on hand, AllThingsD reports that the magazine gave special mention to T-Mobile’s Value Plan offerings which are often difficult to completely grasp, but over time result in savings for T-Mobile customers.
AT&T offered up AllThingsD expressing a concern over the survey and using it as a learning opportunity while reiterating the company’s continued efforts to make their service better. AT&T of course added in an extra line to AllThingsD about how customers would benefit if they were allowed to buy T-Mobile yada yada.
“While we’ll of course evaluate and learn from the Consumer Reports survey, we made significant progress in our network in 2011 including a 25 percent improvement 3G dropped call performance, 48,000 network improvements (more capacity, new cell sites, faster data speeds, and better connections), and many billions of dollars in capital investment to continue to improve our network,” the company said in a statement to AllThingsD.

It appears the dev team is struggling to find a solution to the iOS 5 jailbreak problem. Having been released for well over a month now, jailbreakers are yet to bring an untethered jailbreak to the iPhone’s new operating system. Gone are the days where it seemed exploits were found and hacked only a few days after an iOS update. The latest move from…
