Yes, all of us OS X users were wondering about the version to come in the retail box, well, its 10A432, this was said to be a GM (Gold Master) seed a few weeks ago by those close to the matter.

Some rumors indicated that it would have a 10A435 version, but those rumors turned out to be false.

On another note, Mac OS X Snow Leopard has built in anti-virus software! Weird, right? Well, Apple is future proofing itself once more, it will scan loaded drives and virtual (DMG) drives and if it finds a known malware, it will tell you to eject it.

Pretty neat stuff. Well, I hope you all pre-ordered Snow Leopard already. If you’re lucky, you may get Snow Leopard early like some people have with their Macs or just in the mail.

Well, before I go, it just occurred to me, what about those who have a MacBook Air or, like me, a hackint0shed netbook? They don’t have built in DVD drives! Damn it, how the hell am I supposed to use Snow Leopard?! I’m calling Apple tomorrow to get the answer for everyone because this is pretty weird.

I’m sure our “Remote Disk” option will not work as the actual Leopard OS won’t be running, but rather the DVD, so “Remote Disc” wouldn’t work.

Wow! One of the biggest leaks coming to us via iPhone OS 3.1! Well, again, some new strings have been clearly found. As I had said before, iPod3,1 is still hanging in there.

As you may recall, I discovered the iPod touch 3rd Gen.’s boot sequence in the 3.0 betas a while back. I also discovered iPhone 3,1’s (iPhone 4G, or 4th gen.) boot sequence in the betas as well.

Also, the mysterious iProd0,1 that I (and others) discovered during the beta period.

Well, now the plot thickens. iProd1,1 has also appeared in iPhone OS 3.1! Along with some interesting descriptions.

iProd0,1’s description indicates that it is a standardMuxPTP model. Also, as I previously said during the 3.0 beta testing periods, the “0,1″ in iProd’s name probably means that it is still a prototype, now whether this is a 2nd gen or still a 1st gen protoype, is still unclear.

iProd1,1 is a StandardMuxPTPEthernet model, this is the exact description that can be found on the iPhone, which suggests that this has some major internet capabilities, again, pointing to a new internet capable device, such as the rumored MacBook tablet.

Again, the iPhone 3,1 model has no description, just like all other unannounced devices had in that early of a stage. Also, an iPhone 3,1 could be released before 2009 is over!

No other iPhone model has appeared that early to be unreleased until the next year. Seems fishy.

I am declaring this a 100% confirmed leak. Why? This comes to us from Apple themselves. Not only has this appeared since March, but its still here! If “iProd” was a type-o, wouldn’t Apple have fixed it by now?

It just dawned on me that “iProd” could mean “iProduct”. This is a possibility. I can basically confirm a MacBook tablet before 2009 is over.

Hey everyone! This is great news. My sources can confirm that iPhone OS 3.0.1 does not update your baseband or even make it necessary for a new version of redsn0w! So, this is actually some refreshing news. This is the first time that Apple has released firmware for the sole purpose of “fixing bugs” and not killing an unlock or a jailbreak for us iPhone 3G users! Great news for all! This gives you a couple of months to react and buy an iPhone 3G S! Unlock it, and forever jailbreak it! I may be doing this as well if I sell my iPhone 3G in the near future. So, all you have to do, is hook your iPhone up to iTunes on your Mac/PC, and hit “check for updates”, then let it download and install! Afterwards, just go into redsn0w, and choose an iPhone OS 3.0 ipsw (not the 3.0.1 ipsw) and run it. Apple has not changed a thing other than their messages application! (I would make sure to have iTunes 8.2 as that’s still tethering/jailbreak friendly.) Then enjoy!

Guys, this is very important and everyone should read this immediately!

The iPhone’s Messages app apparently has had a killer SMS flaw on it, now this has existed for a couple months now, well Apple hasn’t done anything about it. The bug still exists in the latest 3.1 beta.

Well, that bug has been exploited by malicious hackers, hackers that give us good hackers a bad name.

All iPhones are vulnerable!

If you get a text message with just a square in it, you have been hijacked. Now, when this bug is exploited, they can take complete control of your iPhone. They can listen in by using the mic, take pics, take video, send stuff using email or sms, it just like them using veency, but from any part of the world.

The only solution is to turn your phone off, or restore and put it into dfu mode and “set up as new phone”.

NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO JUST ANYONE ON THE INTERNET! THERE ARE BAD PEOPLE OUT THERE!!!

That’s all for now.
