Watching a movie without converting can also be called Offline Movie Watching, without the need to convert and you can side load your movies to your iPad directly via iTunes, or some would allow you to download the movies off your network directly to your iPad. Transferring via USB Cable is still faster than transferring wirelessly. Below are just a few good video player that hassle you free from converting to an M4V format. Continue reading »
If
you have decided to jailbreak your iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, or iPad 1 on iOS 5 tethered and instead, you got a white icon labeled cydia. When you click on the white cydia icon, nothing happened. It looks as if it would crash. Even if you did get it open, there are no sources pre-added, and that you can’t do anything in Cydia even if you got it running. This is usually the case of a jailbreak attempt gone wrong. Somewhere during the process, something didn’t go the way it’s suppose to go, and the white icon cydia is an indication of your unsuccessful jailbreak attempt. Continue reading »

However, I think they should open in more countries. This is to avoid less piracy and especially if a country is not listed for them to buy what they want, they just forge their location and go on with it. It’s so easy to register a new iTunes Account and spoof my location and people can just buy iTunes Gift Cards to purchase. Continue reading »

Owners of iPhones and other smartphones are one step closer towards taking complete control of their gadgets, thanks to a new government ruling Monday on the practice of “jailbreaking.”
This weekend has seen a flurry of activity about digital rights, but the biggest news dropped Monday morning, when the FCC announced that it had made the controversial practice of “jailbreaking” your iPhone — or any other cell phone — legal.
Jailbreaking — the practice of unlocking a phone (and particularly an iPhone) so it can be used on another network and/or run other applications than those approved by Apple — has technically been illegal for years. Most jailbroken phones are used on the U.S. T-Mobile network or on overseas carriers, or are used to run applications that Apple refuses to sell, such as Safari ad-blocking apps, alternate keyboard layouts, or programs that change the interface to the iPhone’s SMS system and the way its icons are laid out.
While technically illegal, no one has been sued or prosecuted for the practice. (Apple does seriously frown on the practice, and jailbreaking your phone will still void your warranty.) It’s estimated that more than a million iPhone owners have jailbroken their handsets.
Apple fought hard against the legalization, arguing that jailbreaking was a form of copyright violation. The FCC disagreed, saying that jailbreaking merely enhanced the inter-operability of the phone, and was thus legitimate under fair-use rules.
The upshot is that now anyone can jailbreak or otherwise unlock any cell phone without fear of legal penalties, whether you want to install unsupported applications or switch to another cellular carrier. Cell phone companies are of course still free to make it difficult for you to do this — and your warranty will probably still be voided if you do — but at least you won’t be fined or imprisoned if you jailbreak a handset.
In addition to the jailbreaking exemption, the FCC announced a few oth er rules that have less sweeping applicability but are still significant:
• Professors, students and documentary filmmakers are now allowed, for “noncommercial” purposes, to break the copy protection measures on DVDs to be used in classroom or other not-for-profit environments. This doesn’t quite go so far as to grant you and me the right to copy a DVD so we can watch it in two rooms of the house, but it’s now only one step away.
• As was the topic in the GE ruling I wrote about, the FCC allows computer owners to bypass dongles (hardware devices used in conjunction with software to guarantee the correct owner is behind the keyboard) if they are no longer in operation and can’t be replaced. Dongles are rarities in consumer technology products now, but industrial users are probably thrilled about this, as many go missing and are now impossible to obtain.
• Finally, people are now free to circumvent protection measures on video games — but, strangely, only to investigate and correct security flaws in those games. (Another oddity: Other computer software is not part of this ruling, just video games.)
