Windows 7 Phone Gets Jailbroken

Windows Phone 7 is "finally" jailbroken! ChevronWP7, the unlocker tool, works with every WP7 phone and allows for the side loading of apps, the use of private APIs, and access to low level functionality. Basically, it unleashes your WP7 phone.

Who Would Use the Google Chrome Operating System?

If you use the Internet, chances are you know about Google (if not, get out from under your rock!). From their search engine giant status to their release of their Android operating system for Smart Phones, Google has invested much into today's technology. Add in their online Office suite, affectionately known as "Google Docs", their extremely popular email service, their excellent calendar product, and their up and coming Chrome browser, and it becomes easy to see that Google impacts a vast number of computer users today.

Firefox 4 Gets Much, Much Faster

One of the major components essential for the future of Firefox just landed in the beta build of the browser, and it gives the open-source browser the page-rendering speed boost that it had been lacking. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, Firefox 4 beta 7 introduces JagerMonkey, Mozilla's next-generation JavaScript engine that puts the browser in the same ballpark as its high-speed competitors. The old TraceMonkey engine was slow enough to no longer be in the same league as Chrome, Opera, Safari, and the Internet Explorer 9 beta.

Ford

Thanks again to Ford for sponsoring the show this week. We've had a ton of fun with the Fiesta this year and gotten to show you guys a bunch of cool things about it. A few weeks back we mentioned how Prager has been using the Fiesta as his primary ride around SF for some time, and this has really been the case for a lot of us this summer, here is a quick look back at some of the fun we have had with the Fiesta: The Fiesta has technology that would put many more expensive cars to shame: It comes loaded with all kinds of stuff like send to sync that allows you stream audio/calls, in car diagnostics, hands free everything...even adjustable ambient lighting. This car IS a pretty big deal. Thanks again to Ford!
