iPad 3 rumor

 If Apple's usual release schedule is to be believed (as it usually is), we're just about due for another iPad. Naturally, the rumor mill has amped up accordingly -- in fact, given the amount of news we've seen hit the wire regarding the phantom product, the only thing that would genuinely surprise us would be if Cupertino just opted to pull out of the tablet space altogether. Given the sort of sales figures the company has been seeing as of late, its seems a pretty safe bet that the company is confident that the old slate's still got a little bit of steam left in her.

Yep, the one thing we feel pretty confident in saying at the moment is that Apple most likely has a new iPad in the works and it's most likely coming fairly soon. It also seems like a pretty safe bet that the company goes with the iPad 3 name -- but hey, we've been burned there before. If the rumors flooding in from the likes of Digitimes and The Wall Street Journal are to be believed, the slate will bring with it faster internals, a higher res screen, a tapered back and a general smattering of Apple's customary pixie dust. So, what can we expect from the third iteration of the company's crazy popular slate? Not even Samsung knows for sure, but we're breaking down the fire hose of rumors after the break.

Payday Loans Review

Why Use an Online Payday Loan Service?

It is easy to find yourself in a cash dilemma, maybe you made a critical math mistake while balancing your checking account or your big commission check has been unexpectedly delayed a week. There are many ways you can get yourself into a temporarily short-on-funds situation. Luckily, there are ways to make it through until your next payday.

Payday loan services offer short–term loans to get people through to their next paycheck if they have found themselves in a critical predicament.

Here are a few other reasons people apply for payday loans online:

• Save Time – Instead of searching the yellow pages or driving around town, spend less than 10 minutes online to find a lender. Some services even work with many providers and can refer you to one licensed to operate in your state.
• Save Money – Sometimes bank charges, over–the–limit fees or late fees can add up to more than it would cost you to take out a payday loan to pay your bills on time. Additionally, reactivation charges can be costly if your cell phone, utilities or other service are turned off.
• Save Your Credit – If you are trying to buy a house or fix your credit problems, you may not want to add new bad marks to your credit record by not paying a bill or paying it late.
• Save Face – Nobody likes to ask friends, family or an employer for a loan. Nor do you want to ruin a business relationship with a bounced check. Through a payday service, you can pay your bills without adding pressure to your personal relationships.

In this site, you’ll find payday loans advice and cash money tips, as well as comprehensive reviews and a side–by–side comparison to help you make an informed decision on which service is right for your short–term loan needs. At TopTenREVIEWS We Do the Research So You Don’t Have To.™

PS VITA Hidden Menu

A hidden system menu has been found on the PS Vita. Using a certain key combination shows information regarding your PS Vita's system software and more.

Japanese site emuonpsp reported today that a combination of keys was found in the settings menu to display some hidden information about the firmware installed on your Playstation vita.

This menu contains information about the system build, repository, revision,… doesn’t look like it’s super useful information for now, but still interesting I guess.

The combination to get this menu to show requires practice but I could confirm it works on my vita (Firmware 1.510).

1. Go to Settings > System > System Information
2. Press simultaneously RTrigger + LTrigger + DPad Left + Square for a few seconds
3. Release those buttons then immediately press the start button
4. tadaa, additional information shows up

LATEST SYMBIAN HACKING (DR. WEB ANTI-VIRUS APP WORKAROUND) VERY EASY AND FULLY WORKING

A new Symbian hacking method emerged that is extremely easy and simple (no flashing or custom uda required thus no risk of dead phone). Actually this method utilizes the all capability (system read/write access) credentials of an Antivirus app (Dr.Web etc) to copy the three .ldd files (ROM Patcher driver files) inside C:/sys/bin folder.

Anyway, exactly follow the steps given below –

1. If you have memory card as “E:/” drive in your phone (as in older phones without mass storage memory) or if there is only Mass memory and no memory card inserted in new phones – then download this file (zip archive)

However, if your phone has mass memory and memory card as well (memory card will become “F:/” drive in newer phones like N8) then download this zip file
Remember that the zip file MUST be chosen according to the phone (whether memory card is “E” or “F” drive in your phone).

2. Extract the zip file in PC and open the folder named “Private” (that is inside the zip file). Copy the entire folder “20024113” (that is inside “Private”).

3. Connect the phone with PC (using data cable) in “Mass Storage Mode“. Make sure that DO NOT connect the phone in Nokia (formerly Ovi) Suite mode plus make sure that neither Nokia PC Suite nor Nokia Suite is running when you connect the phone with PC (because system folders can not be accessed in these modes). Alternatively you may also connect the Memory card with PC via a card reader.

4. Now go to My Computer and open memory card connected to PC (make sure that you are opening memory card and not mass memory in new phones). Now find and open the “Private” folder and paste the above copied “20024113” folder inside it. Now disconnect the phone (or memory card) from PC. If you don’t see “Private” folder in memory card then enable the “Show hidden and System files” option in your PC. If there is no “Private” folder still then create it yourself in the root of Memory Card.

5. Download Dr. Web Anti-virus app from here and install it (select Memory card as the installation location). Run Dr. Web app from menu (cancel the warning) and go to “Options/Quarantine“. Select all three files in Quarantine via “Options/Select All”. Now select “Options/Restore”. Exit Dr.Web

6. Download ROMPatcher+(signed) from here and install it in the phone. Launch ROMPatcher from menu and go to “Options/All Patches/Apply”. On selecting “Apply” the installed patches will become activated.

Bingo! Now your phone is hacked and you can install any unsigned app plus have full access to system folders (read/write to sys/private) via X-plore etc. No need of any damn certificate/key…….. R.I.P. SymbianSigned!!!

However these patches will become deactivated on restarting the phone. If you want to make them permanently “activated” then launch ROM Patcher and go to Options and select “Add to auto” to all the patches one by one.This method is applicable to all Symbian 3rd, 5th ed and Symbian^3 (Anna, Belle? whatever) phones. You can uninstall Dr. Web app after the process is over. Also note that doing a Hard reset/format will un-hack the phone and you will have to repeat the process again.

For any help or problem feel free to comment and do share your experience here.

UPDATE (1) - It looks like that in older E series phones the above method is not working as good as in newer 5th ed and Symbian^3 devices. Some possible solutions include -

1. Format/hard reset the phone and try again
2. Update the phone to the latest available firmware and then try the hacking method again
3. If you have phone specific certificate/key available then try other hacking methods (like this one – http://digipassion.com/2011/05/new-easy-hacking-coderus-hackit-method.html)

UPDATE (2) - If your phone is still giving error during unsigned app installation after successfully applying the above hack (or red cross appears in ROM Patcher on applying the patch) then download this file (contains hacked installservers for all S60 versions) and extract the contents. Now select and copy the correct “installserver.exe” (according to your phone) and paste in phone’s C:/sys/bin folder (use X-plore to do this). Restart the phone and done. Remember; do not apply the installserver patch in ROM Patcher after placing this hacked installserver in C:/sys/bin.
