How to jailbreak an iPod touch and get access to the console?
2
Jailbreaking made easy
The latest and probably best tool to jailbreak your iPod, iPhone or iPad is the website www.jailbreakme.com. To jailbreak your device, just point the Safari browser on your “iDevice” to this address and “Slide to jailbreak”. After a few moments the Cydia app will magically appear and you’re ready to explore a huge amount of useful apps and other tools.
You should consider backing up your device so you can go back to the official “jailed” iOS by using the Restore option in iTunes.
How to get access to the shell?
By default you can find the app “MobileTerminal” on Cydia. This enables you to get command line access directly on the device. The problem is that if you already upgraded your device to iOS4 the MobileTerminal app won’t work. You tap it but then it will close immediately after. The solution for that is to add the source cydia.xsellize.com to Cydia and search for “MobileTerminal iOS4″ and install it. this will install the beta version which is running perfectly on my iPod touch.
The other option is to connect remotely to your device via WiFi. To be able to do so, you’ll need to know the IP address your device got and just connect to it using your favorite ssh client (like PuTTY on Windows).
Have fun playing around with your jailbroken device!

Things are happening.
And alot of things are happening each day. So If you like to stay up-to-date you have to dig through a lot of news sites or RSS feeds to hear about the latest buzz.
The brand new website “Actual Information Portal” is a great way to see news coming in almost real-time. The articles originate from various big news providers like Reuters and AP.
They use some slide-over ads to get some money in which are sometimes a little bit annoying. But anyway it’s a great website to stay informed and you can even chose from different topics like science, culture, economy, technology and some more!

Silently…
…the whistle-blower website www.wikileaks.org listed a mysterious 1.4GB big, AES256 encrypted file on their website without any description but titling it “Insurance File”.
As suggested by an article on the the website www.wired.com this file contains most likely highly sensitive information about the Iraq war.
Rumors say, WikiLeaks might release the key in case either ‘something’ happens to Julian Assange, the founder of the said website, or if the website will be taken down by the U.S. government.
