53,772 | rms | 2007-09-12T09:42:10 | The story behind the iUnlock hack: the first free, open iPhone SIM unlock software | http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/the-story-behind-the-free-open-iphone-sim-unlock-software/ | 2 | 0 | null | null | null | no_error | The story behind iUnlock: the first free, open iPhone SIM unlock software | 2007-09-12T05:09:00.000Z | Paul Miller | If you're like us, you're furiously unlocking every iPhone in sight at the moment, but what you might not know is the story behind the hack. It all started Monday when iPhoneSIMfree was finally released. Hackers immediately bought up licenses and started looking into how the thing ticked, and found something rather surprising: the app flashes to the baseband chip -- something the iPhone Dev Team had originally said couldn't be done at all without hardware hackery, diverting effort away from such attempts.But instead of just swiping the iPhone Dev Team's method, hackers started looking for different ways to achieve the same results now they knew a baseband flash could be done, and a certain Zappaz finally struck gold after working on it all Monday night and well into Tuesday. But that was only the beginning. [Updated after the break] While Zappaz was at work doing the hack from scratch, there were other efforts underway to spoof iPhoneSIMfree's software. Hexxeh was attempting to do it with an external server, while Geohot got in on the action and purpotedly managed to pull it off by tricking the software to do its thing even if the server returned a negative. However, Geohot decided to put his hack on hold and use the Zappaz method, which was decidedly less sketchy, since it wouldn't take advantage of iPhoneSIMfree's work and application to perform the hack.When Zappaz eventually logged off due to fatigue, Geohot was preparing to build an application to wrap around the Zappaz script so it'd be ready for distribution. That's when iUnlock.zip showed up on the iPhone Dev Wiki and the iPhone hacking scene came to a standstill. Apparently the iPhone Dev Team HaRRo (specifically including members Daeken, Darkmen, guest184, gray, iZsh, pytey, roxfan, Sam, uns, Zappaz, and Zfhad) been working on the same general method as Zappaz the whole time, but managed to finish first, and prep and post a usable solution. This same group assembled the binary from iUnlock together with a couple of other files necessary to complete the unlock, thus assembling the first easily distributable, (relatively) easily executed, and completely free and open iPhone SIM unlock software anyone laid eyes on.After spotting the first initial release, independent documentation (and later official) documentation began sprouting up; before you could say "that's the end of the road for iPhoneSIMfree sales," there were people unlocking their iPhones in droves -- free at last, after 74 days on the market.Update: It seems only inevitable, but we've received word from the iPhone Dev Team that credit for iUnlock doesn't rest squarely on HaRRo's shoulders, nor was he apparently responsible for the initial release of the iUnlock tool. (In similar fashion nor was Draken apparently solely responsible for the first packaged release.) We won't get into the he said she said of the tale, but the iPhone Dev Wiki has released an official statement today on the software unlock, and credit for the hack is being given to a broader core group.Donations can be sent to the iPhone Dev Team via PayPal to iphone dawt devteam att googlemail dawt com. | 2024-11-08T08:15:39 | en | train |

At Too Good To Go we are dedicated to the fight against food waste!
Food waste is a huge global issue, with one-third of all food produced being wasted, a landfill is overflowing and our environment is really suffering the consequences.

Our platform allows people to buy surplus, unsold food from restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, bakeries etc. that otherwise would have to be thrown out. Through our app, everybody can make a difference by 'saving' perfectly good, delicious food from going in the bin.

I recently met the CEO of a company who claim to be one of the most popular social networks in Turkey with several million monthly visitors from Turkey. This happened by accident – the founders are Americans who have no prior connection to Turkey.
This is just one of many examples of how difficult it can be to predict or control the growth of viral social media. Google’s Orkut, is a better known example – a social network started by a Turkish engineer working in the US that now dominates in Brazil and India. Friendster and hi5 fall into this bucket as well. As I’ve noted before, the online advertising market in the US is bigger than that in the rest of the world combined. The senior management of these companies know this, and all would love to see more US traffic, but it is now beyond their control.
The reason is the mathematics of viral growth. If the viral coefficient (the number of additional members a new member brings) in a population is less than one, it grows but eventually hits a ceiling. But if the viral coefficient is greater than one, it grows unbounded. Although your social media property may start in many different populations, it will come to be dominated by those with the highest viral coefficients.
This is best demonstrated by example. Consider a new social media property with 30 members, 10 each from three distinct populations; call them Pinks, Purples and Greens. Suppose that by luck and because of the initial users, the viral growth coefficient for the Pinks is 0.6, for the Purples is 0.9 and for the Greens is 1.2. Watch what happens to the populations over time:
All three groups are initially equally represented, But already by time period 4 the population is more than 50% Green. By time period 10 it is more than 75% Green and probably considered a “Green social network”. By time period 16 less than one member in 10 is not Green. For Green now substitute whatever national, language based, religious, racial or other demographic grouping that you choose.
These evolutions can happen very fast since a time period is the time it takes for a new member to invite more members. 2-8 weeks might be a reasonable assumption.
This example is vastly simplified, of course. Viral coefficients vary over time within and between groups. Viral coefficients also don’t vary quite as much between groups; the same underlying feature set is being exposed to all groups. But it illustrates the point that randomness can play a significant role in the eventual makeup of a social media property’s user base.
I posted about a similar finding in May, how you don’t necessarily get the wisdom of crowds, but sometimes just the crowdiness of crowds. It was based on a NY Time’s article that showed how randomness can have a big impact on the most popular songs for a crowd when popularity information is public.
