To jailbreak your iPhone 4S (running iOS 5.0 or either 4S version of 5.0.1**) and/or your iPad 2 (all Wi-Fi only, GSM & CDMA devices supported; must be running iOS 5.0.1**) – select one of the links below to download your Absinthe A5 untethered jailbreak. Simply unzip the file, then install on your iOS A5 mobile device with one click of a button!

Windows » GreenPois0n Absinthe v0.3 for Windows

Mac OS X » GreenPois0n Absinthe v0.3 for MacOSX

Linux » GreenPois0n Absinthe v0.3 for Linux (x86/x86_64)

Notes:

- If you have a passcode lock on your device you must turn it off before you do this jailbreak.
- If you experience the “error establishing database connection” bug on your device go to Settings > Network > VPN and turn it ON.
- To fix “Camera Roll” error where you don’t have any photos or videos you have to rerun the app once to fix, then another time to complete jailbreak.
- If you got white icons after the jailbreak or had issues with VPN try running the newest version v0.2 of the JB.

Step by step guide to Jailbreak:

1: Download Absinthe using the links above and extract the zip file by double clicking on it. Now open up the Absinthe application. If you’re on windows right click on Absinthe and run it as an administrator.

2: Make sure your device is plugged into your computer and updated to iOS 5.0.1. Now click the Jailbreak button.

3. The process will take a while, some users have said it took up to 15 minutes so just sit patient until you see the bar completely.

4. Once the process is complete the bar will be filled up and the application will say:

“Almost done – just unlock the screen if necessary, then tap the “jailbreak” icon to finish.”

So thats what you need to do! Find the Absinthe icon on your homescreen, open it up and Cydia should begin installing and reboot your device.

NOTE: At the current moment the website it loads up to install Cydia is down because so many users are trying it right now. If it doesn’t work on the first few tries just come back in a few hours and it should be good to go.

5. Now you’re device is Jailbroken, congrats!!!

To all of you developers out there, be sure to get the latest beta of iOS 5. iOS 5 Beta 4 is the first software update that uses Apple’s new Over-The-Air updating system. So what is so cool about this new system? Well someone must have answered your ISP’s prayers as the new updates are a mere 133MB compared to the usuall 700MB to 800MB .ipsw files. This not only saves you money but plenty of time.

But how did they get the file size to be so small? With some very smart tweaking. The update only updates code that has been changed or updated since the last version, thus making for a much smaller downlod… about 691MB smaller. Try saying that 5 times.

The CEO of Veriozon Lowell McAdam said on CNBC that their revenue growth in the past quater had been implacted because the next iPhone hasn’t been released yet.

“We are probably what I would view as maybe a quarter behind what we had talked about in January, primarily because we expected an iPhone 5 refresh sometime this summer.

We don’t know when the next one is going to come out. You will have to ask Apple that, but we expect that probably sometime in the fall, and I think you will see a significant jump there when we get to that point.”

Lets hope he is wrong.

Simply put, the Logitech G930 is  a top notch piece of equipment that combines innovative technologies to heighten the gaming experience.  Between the extended wireless range and the impressive surround sound capabilities, users often note that they feel as though they are part of the game they are playing.

Crucial to any gaming experience, aside from sound quality of course, is comfort and “wearability”.  Too often, headsets grow cumbersome and uncomfortable.  These are easy to wear for an extended period of time during those epic online gaming runs with little to no rest needed from the headsets.

So what are you waiting for? Go and grab yourself the Logitech G930 headset now =D.

The new iPhone 5s is reported to have no major update over the iPhone 4 but Apple has already placed an order for 15 million of the handsets set for release this September.

We would ask you not to get too excited to early but this rumor seems solid enough to convince us to start saving, watch this space…
