What The ??

The smart guys over at iphonejtag.blogspot.com have posted a jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS. What is a jailbreak you ask?

Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to run unofficial code on their devices bypassing Apple’s official distribution mechanism, the App Store.  What this does is to open up your iPhone’s file system so it can be accessed from your computer. Once jailbroken, iPhone users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia and Icy, or add games available on torrent sites. In short, Jailbreaking allows you to add ringtones, change wallpaper, or run third-party applications for free.

Jailbreaking is distinct from unlocking, which is the process by which a mobile device is made compatible with telephone networks it was not specifically licensed to be used with. In other words, to use your iPhone on a GSM network other than AT&T, you would need to unlock it. In order to unlock it, you first have to jailbreak it.

Here’s how to get started:

Go to purplera1n.com. Download it. Make sure you have windows(but not 7), the latest iTunes installed, and an iPhone 3GS with 3.0 firmware. Connect your iPhone normally. Click “make it ra1n”. Wait. On bootup, run Freeze, the purplera1n installer app. Hopefully you’ll figure out what to do from there. This tool is beta. Make sure to have everything backed up before running. Also if Cydia doesn’t show up after running Freeze, reboot.

If you need help email purplera1n.support at gmail and attach your purplera1n.log file. Or call the purplera1n support hotline @ (650) 265-1210 Mac version is coming shortly.

NEW YORK—In what many are calling the most comprehensive study of its kind, Staten Island historians Robert Wilburn and Charles Tinsley have successfully traced the lines of the infamous Wu-Tang Clan all the way back to 1993 A.D.

(Wilburn explains the difficult-to-follow family tree of Ol’ Dirty Bastard.)

The monumental undertaking, which is being hailed as a major breakthrough in the field of hip-hop genealogy, used a series of historical records—including Wu-Tang Forever, Iron Flag, and 8 Diagrams—to piece together the group’s vast and intricate ancestry.

“Through our exhaustive research, we have determined not only the start of the Wu-Tang Clan’s reign, but also the very moment of its legendary downfall,” said Wilburn, who has authored numerous books on the House of RZA. “Indeed, we now have conclusive proof as to why all the other wannabe MCs bowed down to this dynastic force.”

Friends,

The richest 400 Americans — that’s right, just four hundred people — own MORE than the bottom 150 million Americans combined. 400 rich Americans (http://www. forbes.com/2008/09/16/forbes-400-billionaires-lists-400list08_cx_mn_0917richamericans_land.html) have got more stashed away than half the entire country! Their combined net worth is $1.6 trillion.

During the eight years of the Bush Administration, their wealth has increased by nearly $700 billion (http://www.sanders.senate.gov/news/record.cfm?id=303313) — the same amount that they are now demanding we give to them for the “bailout. ” Why don’t they just spend the money they made under Bush to bail themselves out? They’d still have nearly a trillion dollars left over to spread amongst themselves!

Of course, they are not going to do that — at least not voluntarily. George W. Bush was handed a $127 billion surplus when Bill Clinton left office. Because that money was OUR money and not his, he did what the rich prefer to do — spend it and never look back. Now we have a $9.5 trillion debt.
Why on earth would we even think of giving these robber barons any more of our money?

I would like to propose my own bailout plan. My suggestions, listed below, are predicated on the singular and simple belief that the rich must pull themselves up by their own platinum bootstraps. Sorry, fellows, but you drilled it into our heads one too many times: There… is… no… free… lunch. And thank you for encouraging us to hate people on welfare!

It is clear, though, that we cannot simply keep protesting without proposing exactly what it is we think Congress should do. So, after consulting with a number of people smarter than Phil Gramm, here is my proposal, now known as “Mike’s Rescue Plan.” It has 10 simple, straightforward points.
They are:

There’s a historic date that our country ought to mark every year, which has had as great an impact on the world as the July 4th birth of American democracy itself. The date is May 10, 1886—the day corporate supremacy was born. It came about through a court case that breathed life into these artificial, anti-democratic entities—a move that effectively gave corporations greater power than We the People.

The reason that today’s Powers That Be (which are—big surprise!—corporate powers) don’t want us paying the slightest bit of attention to this momentous date is that the birth of corporate supremacy actually was illegitimate, carrying no force of law.

An old proverb says: “A lie repeated 1,000 times becomes the truth.” This particular lie asserts that every corporate business structure is, in the eye of the U.S. Constitution, equal to real human beings, possessing all the rights of people.

As bizarre as it is, this assertion has been repeated so often by CEOs, politicians, pundits, professors, and judges that it is now assumed to be unassailable truth. Again and again, we hear the establishment speak of the “right” of this or that corporation to do as it pleases, as if the founders themselves had contemplated this as part of their grand democratic design.

Horse dooties. Not only are corporations unmentioned in the Constitution, but the founders would upchuck at the very idea that these things would now be treated by any serious person as part of the natural order.

Featured here is a download of some VERY early Juice Crew material, featuring never before heard songs from Big Daddy Kane, Craig G and Kool G. Rap. The Juice Crew is the greatest Hip-hop crew of all time, consisting of the above mentioned, Roxanne Shante, MC Shan, Biz Markie, Tragedy, Masta Ace, and Super-producer Marley Marl. The juice crew (Marley Marl and MC Shan) are responsible for Eric B. & Rakim’s classic first album while Marley marl also worked with LL Cool J. The Juice Crew inspired many Hip-hop artists that we know and love today…This quote from Nas:

Growing up in Queensbridge it was Marley Marl and The Juice Crew that gave rap niggas like myself hope that there was another life beyond our hood… He made us believe that although we came from those wild streets, we still had a chance to change our lives.

Had a discussion(argument) with my wife(who is mixed black.white and beautiful) last night about Racism and that despite what most people believe and the fact that we have a black president, racism is still very much a part of the life of the everyday black person. What I tried to explain to her is that everyone’s experience is different, and that a beautiful black(especially mixed) woman’s experience is much different than that of a black mans. Apparently the difference (although i don’t know what she looks like) extends to 15 yr old black girls as well. Be warned, the video is shocking:
