redsn0w jailbreak tool now available for iOS 4.3.4, with a catch

Apple released iOS 4.3.4 on Friday in an effort to fix a security vulnerability that was present on both the iPhone and the iPad. The fix was supposed to prevent hackers from using a PDF security hole to jailbreak both devices. That didn’t quite work. The next day iPhone Dev Team was able to route around the security fix and issued a jailbreak tool for iOS 4.3.4. iPhone Dev Team has released the latest redsn0w jailbreak tool, but unfortunately it forces iOS 4.3.4 users to keep their iPhone or iPad tethered to their computer during sync and reboot. In other words, if you haven’t already updated to iOS 4.3.4 and want your iPhone or iPad to remain jailbroken, you’re going

Samsung to unveil 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Q at IFA 2011?

Samsung could be set to unveil a smartphone-tablet hybrid device at IFA 2011, if rumours of a 5.3-inch screened device are to be believed.

According to Yahoo Korea's sources, the 'tabphone' will come with 3G support, but it's not clear whether it'll support voice calls or just be a data connection.

It's not really clear to us why Samsung would launch a handset that's only an inch bigger in the screen department than its current flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Too many or too few

But if it's not meant as a phone, is Samsung seriously expecting anyone to buy a 5-inch tablet in this day and age?

Other Samsung Galaxy Q specs are very thin on the ground at this point, and with nary a blurry cam shot to go on, we can't help but feel that this possible device makes very little sense.

Still, since the 5-inch Dell Streak 5 does already exist, we're willing to concede that it's possible that Samsung will follow in its (now fairly old) footsteps with the Galaxy Q.

AnandTech Mobile Graphics Guide, Summer 2011

If desktop graphics hardware can be more than a little confusing, deciphering performance of mobile graphics parts can be (and has historically been) an absolute nightmare. Way back in the day it was at least fairly easy to figure out which desktop chip was hiding in which mobile kit, but both AMD and NVIDIA largely severed ties between mobile and desktop branding. They may not want to readily admit that, and in the case of certain models they still pretty heavily rely on the cachet associated with their desktop hardware, but it's by and large true. So to help you make sense of mobile graphics, we present to you the first in what will hopefully be a regular series of guides.

Women's World Cup final helps set Twitter record

Twitter has announced that the women's World Cup final helped produce a record for the service, with the number of tweets per second reaching a staggering 7,196.

The final, between Japan and the USA was named as the key factor in setting the record, which in all likelihood will be shattered sooner rather than later.

"New Tweets per second records! End of the #wwc final: 7196 TPS. And today's end to the Paraguay/Brazil game is now 2nd with 7166 TPS," stated Twitter's official feed.

Influence

The microblogging service is now one of the most influential social networks, with over 600,000 people signing up on one day last week.

It has already been named as a key influencer in everything from the Egyptian revolution to the News of the World hacking scandal that is dominating UK headlines.

The women's World Cup final obviously has global interest, and the USA's presence in the final (although they lost) inevitably helped the record along.

But with numbers of subscribers still growing fast, that tweets per second total is likely to quickly reach five figures.
