crave >_ The release of an easy-to-download method of opening up the iPhone to third-party applications prompted almost 150,000 downloads of the software in three days.
Our friends over at iPhone Atlas spoke with Nicholas “Drudge” Penree, one of the programmers of the AppSnapp “jailbreak” application, who provided the number. AppSnapp was released Sunday to allow iPhones and iPod Touches running the latest version of Apple’s iPhone firmware to run third-party applications. Penree thinks the 144,000 downloads of the program reported since Sunday translates into around 100,000 devices that are now free to run applications developed outside of Apple. (more…)
In recognition of the release of Halo 3, a highly anticipated video game by Microsoft and Bungie, MIT hackers adorned the John P. Harvard statue, in Harvard Yard, with a Spartan helmet. The back of the helmet, which is worn by the protagonist of the game, Master Chief, was labeled with “Master Chief in Training.” The statue was decorated with an assault rifle (bullet count of 2E), as well as a Beaver emblem on the right shoulder. –The Tech
Hack via TUAW: “iTunes 7.4 makes it especially easy to add and sync ringtones with your iPhone–without having to pay for a third-party installer. TUAW reader Arnold Kim passed along a link to this fabulous MacRumors post with a method attributed to “Cleverboy” and Nicholas “Drudge” Penree sent me additional instructions.
It goes basically like this: iTunes uses the m4r file extension for Ringtones. If you copy an AAC file from your library and rename it from .m4a to .m4r and then add it back to iTunes, the program reads it back in as a ringtone rather than a normal library track. You can then sync it to your iPhone. I’ve tested this with both an MP3 that I converted to AAC and with a track I purchased from the iTunes store. They both worked.
The secret lies in making sure the name change happens properly. This isn’t a big problem on Windows. On the Mac though there are protections in place to keep you from renaming the file extension–this isn’t to keep you from making ringtones. It’s to keep you from hurting your files. So either do the rename in Terminal or select the file you want to rename and open the Info window. Scroll down to the Name & Extension field and change the extension to m4r there.
At this time, the m4r items do not appear in your Library. You can only see them when you select an iPhone in the sources list and then click on the Ringtones tab.
Update: Use this technique only for tracks you’ve copied from your personal CD collection.”

The Financial Times is reporting the following:
“The Chinese military hacked into a Pentagon computer network in June in the most successful cyber attack on the US defence department, say American officials.
The Pentagon acknowledged shutting down part of a computer system serving the office of Robert Gates, defence secretary, but declined to say who it believed was behind the attack.
Current and former officials have told the Financial Times an internal investigation has revealed that the incursion came from the People’s Liberation Army….”
