How many of you have bricked?

ODIN froze up on me once while flashing the bootloader. A $40 JTAG though fixed it good-as-new.

This reminds me of a scene in Adaptation.

Charlie Kaufman: There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.

Donald Kaufman: Oh, God. I was so in love with her.

Charlie Kaufman: I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.

Donald Kaufman: I remember that.

Charlie Kaufman: Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at me. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.

Donald Kaufman: I knew. I heard them.

Charlie Kaufman: How come you looked so happy?

Donald Kaufman: I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.

Charlie Kaufman: But she thought you were pathetic.

Donald Kaufman: That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.

Something very similar happened with my SGS. After looking into it, I heard a lot of people had success using a J-Tag. It looks pretty complicated so I decided to pay someone to do it for me.

I think it was about $40 for my SGS but mobiletechvideos.com brought it back from the brink. It might be worth the $50 they're charging for the SGS2: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/

Good luck!

It's still a tasty witbier and Hoegaarden is the brewery who brought witbier back from the brink even if InBev bought them out. I'd still rather have a mothership though

If you're trying to gain muscle, especially as a beginner, you're fine to workout three days a week. Don't push yourself too hard and be sure to get plenty of rest. Too much cardio and not enough days off will hurt your progress--not help it.

I agree

I don't make these decisions, I only support the devices.

remove the password in a matter of seconds

If the device is not jailbroken, how can you remove the password? Or is the device insecure, only if the user tampers with it?

Such as....?

For individuals, the cost of the device is the biggest risk. I work in an environment where our iPads contain very sensitive and confidential information. Information worth way more than the device itself.

Not that I disagree with you, but to respond to a couple of your points:

First off this is only a vulnerability on iPad2 with that fancy cover thing. It won't work without it.

True but if someone is looking to break in to an iPad, using their own smart cover is not a major inconvenience.

Secondly this will only allow access to the last opened application

Correct, but I work at a very large financial company and emails and a special application for board materials are probably often the application open when the device is locked

The video is misleading and makes it look like the attacker gains access to the entire machine.

I agree.

If you lose your laptop computer I can almost certainly get access to WAY more info about your company than if I lose my ipad.

All of our laptops are encrypted. The fact that a stolen iPad could be used to gain access to confidential board material is very unsetteling.

The five finger swipe opens the multitasking bar where you can switch apps.

EDIT: You cannot open other apps through this exploit as Jav032 pointed out.

Torquemada1970 · 7 months

This is real and a very huge deal. I work with iPads and did some testing and here is what I've found:

This works on iOS5 but not iOS4 (at least not on the 4.3.3 device I tested)
You can only have access to whatever app they left open although for the email application and other sensitive applications, this is a very big deal
I have not found a way to access any other app--even from the home screen which can only be viewed if that what was on the screen last before it was locked.
Even though my iPad is set to view 50 messages at a time, only 15 or so which readable via this exploit--the rest were ghost emails lacking all detail
It can disabled by going into settings and disabling the smart cover feature.

This needs to be fixed immediately and is extremely embarrassing for Apple.

I like the idea of both. Having a weekly or so form check day would help group all the from check requests into one thread. It's also nice that people who might be too intimidated to create their own post for a form check can post it in the weekly thread.

I haven't noticed a flood of form check videos so I doubt it is necessary to ban any form check requests outside the weekly post. And as a beginner, I love seeing form check requests--I can take all the advice given and see what I can apply to my workout that night.

Einstein slept with his first cousin? I believe his wife was his second and third cousin.

Hey buddy. Just so we're clear, I swam the 50 yard free in 22 seconds, I swam the 100 breast in just over a minute, I ran a 5k in less than 17 minutes and a mile in just over 5. In my 7 months of lifting I've already reached a 540lb deadlift. I know what my achievements are and they have nothing to do with anyone else's. Please, fuck off my friend.

I think there's a replacement for "515x3" in there somewhere

I understand there's a time and a place for a BB split, and I know that when you first start out lifting, it's easy to think that's the best way to start.

But how the fuck can you think it's a good idea to start off your workout with 200 reps that isolate the biceps, then finish the routine off with 40 reps for your back?

I'm not a fan of American styled wheat beers either. I won't turn down a free Widmer or Blue Moon but I find the beers lacking. I like Bavarian style hefe's though when the mood strikes, and a good wit on a hot day.

I really should pick some up this weekend and try more. I hated IPAs when I first had them and now they're a staple in my diet.
