木乃伊奥运

吐血吧。我以为是哪个Fans自己搞的,竟然是NBC和Universal一起搞的promo,这两个隶属与同一集团下的媒体巨头为了各自的小九九(一个是买断奥运全美报道权的,一个暑期电影完全被Warner Bros打压——Hellboy和wanted简直惨不忍睹的烂)竟然搞出这么一个idea。真ft。

iPhone升级到2.0了

昨天晚上从party早早脱身,回家刷机,第一次在Vista弄说未知错误5(似乎和winpwn在vista下没有advance有关系),后来换到mac上面成功了。先写个简单版的攻略:

我的软硬件

  • 安装1.1.4 firmware的第一代iPhone
  • mac一台 10.4 Tiger 安装itunes 7.7
  • 下载官方iphone 2.0软件的IPSW 版本号 iphone1,2_2.0_5A347
  • 下载pwnage 2.0 for mac
  • 下载bootloader 3.9和4.6

关于详细的技术解释可以看这个 以上软件下载可以到这里

步骤很straight forward, 连接iphone,进入pwnage,选择第一代iphone,选择官方ipsw,选择bootloader, 生成一个自定义的包,然后关机,进入DFU模式(正常关机之后,同时按住hold和home,大概10秒,这时出现苹果的logo,松开hold键持续按住home,这样进入DFU模式)整个过程保持iphone连接着电脑。一切正常的话,itunes就会跳出来,并且提示iphone处于恢复模式(recovery mode),按住Mac键盘上的ALT(Option),选择刚才生成的那个200多兆的自定义ipsw,然后itunes需要花5-8分钟恢复。iphone重启之后会自动刷机,等3-5分钟之后就OKAY了!!!

接下来进入如果愿意可以用cydia(类似installer)安装OpenSSH插件,在Mac上打开Terminal,输入ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (把xxx替换成你iphone通过wifi连接时候的ip地址),密码是alpine(有的或者是dottie),连接成功之后,就可以那任何FTP客户端直接无限访问iphone的文件系统了,ftp地址就是iphone的ip地址,用户名是root,密码是alpine。之后就可以从这个这个网页去下载破解版的游戏和软件(俗称APP),注意按照各自的安装放法,需要修改文件和文件夹权限为777(全部权限),推荐MAC下用Transmit,这个软件可以直接该文件夹及里面全部文件的修改全线,而我之前用的Fetch似乎需要一个一个搞。

如果懒得搞这么复杂,可以直接从iphone里面的App Store下载,花钱或者找免费的,那个叫Cube Runner的还不错,哈哈,让我想起来小学时代去老爸一个朋友公司面玩电脑时候第一次看到3D游戏的场景。

我现在正在尝试直接破解软件的DRM,用itunes传软件的ipa,有几个成功,有几个不成功,不知道为什么。

在这里感谢一下lzbob同学,还有cctv和mtv

以上所有在有人请客前提下,免除。
欢迎补充。

妈咪3

今天有人说到本周是木乃伊3上映。

因为我有50%可能性去看,先把话说在前面,如果胆敢把兵马俑说成发现于北京上海香港周边,我就要抵制。

Why India Will Beat China zz

转自商业周刊

Why India Will Beat China
An entrenched and vibrant democracy will ultimately drive India to outperform China socially and economically

by William Nobrega

Authoritarian regimes often yield impressive short-term economic results, as seen in Germany in the 1930s, the Soviet Union in the 1950s, Brazil in the 1960s, and China in the 1990s. Unencumbered by such things as property rights, legal recourse, and public debate, the authoritarian regime can harness significant economic and political resources to create impressive industrial and economic feats.

Conversely, democratic regimes tend to be sloppy affairs with loud public discourse, a vocal press, stubborn land owners, and a myriad of civil liberties. Far from being able to harness economic resources, the government often must act more as a regulator. The result is that there are very few grandiose government-sponsored projects. Instead, there are countless private-sector initiatives driven by the invisible hand of the market. While the authoritarian regime is envied by some, the fact is that longer term, this type of socioeconomic model has typically led to economic and social distortions.

That is the dilemma that China faces today. Since the 1980s, the Chinese government has focused on developing an export-driven economy supported by an artificially undervalued currency. Foreign direct investment was encouraged while domestic consumption was limited. Massive infrastructure projects were initiated, fueled by a growing trade surplus, with cities sprouting up in the hinterlands like some mythical phoenix. For years, the Chinese economy benefited from these policies with double-digit gross domestic product growth, vast foreign currency reserves, and ever increasing capital inflows. Read More…

BBC邀Gorillaz做的北京奥运宣传片

我只能说悟空和八戒还可以,沙僧简直就是僵尸啊(绿色的)

实际上根据是gorillaz之前的歌剧“猴(Monkey:Journey to the West)”改编的,最惊人的是“貌似是中文唱片”,但是,也和gorillaz自己的风格也太统一了吧?

On The Beach

推荐一下Nagisa Ni Te的2张CD1张EP,分别是《On The Love Beach》,《The Same as a Flower》以及《Dream Sounds》,我最近疯狂的迷恋他们哈。

因为找不到免费下载,不得已只能靠喝可乐换分在amazon上面下载。

根据Allmusic的说法

Combining a romantic dreaminess with a massive array of instruments, occasionally heavy guitars, and fragile pop melodies, the Japanese folk-psych band Nagisa Ni Te (On the Beach) is among the most innovative and eclectic groups of the late ’90s. Consisting of multi-instrumentalist Shinjii Shibayama, and his partner and musical inspiration Masako Takeda, the group has been compared to a wide range of experimental and emotionally direct groups from the Velvet Underground to Belle and Sebastian.

——翻译成中文就是好听的发疯。

 

另外一个最近几天在听的是Mogwai的Young Team——我是不是老的已经不成人型了?这张11年前的唱片今天听起来还是那么生动(好老派的形容词),post-rock才是发展潮流嘛!!!

不觉得wall-e里面的eve那么眼熟么

有些话不说可能你不知道
wall-e里面那个“女”机器人EVE来自apple的首席设计师Jonathan Ive的设计——连名字都差不多。
再仔细看一眼,Mac User们可能就认出来了,这不是MacOS系统中自带的从来没用过的那个Automator么???

照片来自notcot.com

看来作为Pixar大股东的Apple老板Steve Jobs很会置入性行销啊,呵呵。

另外eve有明星脸,wall-e也是有追随者,还是国产的哦 看这个!!
