One of the nice features of the iPhone 4 is the ability to take HDR pictures.  HDR - High Dynamic Range Imaging - allows for more dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. In the simplest of terms, you take a picture with several different exposures, combine them, and...

With the season still in it's infancy, I thought a review would be prudent. I didn't actually set out to download it since...

On October 1st, Matt Rix (@MattRix) sent a message on twitter to @iPhoneinCanada asking to have a look at his Canadian made Trainyard Express. I was expecting someone else to review it before I did, but it just looks like I got to do it afterall! This is a puzzle game like none I had...

His tool circumvented the announcement made by the Chronic Dev Team to release their greenpois0n tool, which contained a different exploit. Eventually, the CDT released their tool with Geohot's exploit. If you're waiting for PwnageTool, it's coming Sunday. Click...
