    NOTE: Please, remember this is not recommended for anyone, take it at your own risk

    The news came in a video that recently hit the Web. The PDF file in question, which appears to have leaked from a JailbreakMe beta tester, is currently circulating online, and we’ve included a link to it below if you’re interested in taking the solution for a spin. Remember, first, that this is not the final release – so proceed with caution.

    In order to jailbreak your device, simply click this link in Safari for iOS. Safari should close, a pop-up box should appear and you should be able to jailbreak your iPad 2.

    Here’s the video, and remember: Be careful. And if you decide to take the jailbreak solution for a spin, let us know how it works for you in the comments.

    Update 1:

    @Comex, the hacker behind the JailbreakMe, has responded to the leaked iPad 2 jailbreak that was apparently stolen by a beta tester. He tweeted:

    Congratulations, some moron used a dictionary attack(?) to leak a buggy version and put me on a useless time limit.

    Let’s hope the time limit isn’t too short… hasn’t been in the past but could always change. Everyone use TinyUmbrella and save 4.3.3.

    Hopefully, Apple isn’t able to close the exploit before comex finishes the jailbreak. To be safe please follow comex’s advice and save your SHSH Blobs.

    Save SHSH Blobs:

    You can get TinyUmbrella from here (for Windows) or here (for Mac OS X) and then click on “Save SHSH Blobs.”

  • Gmail Has Got a New UI Look and You Can Try it NOW

    // Gradly // blog, Design, Featured, google, How To, News 1 Response

    Google has rolled out a lot of redesigning work this week starting from the new black bar and Google search page new UI, some Gmail tweaks and introducing Google+. The Gmail, in particular, is about to get a new theme and you can try it right now. Here is what Google says about the matter:

    … we’re embarking on a series of interface updates to help strip out unnecessary clutter and make Gmail as beautiful as it is powerful. This is part of a Google-wide effort to bring you an experience that’s more focused, elastic, and effortless across all of our products. The changes are not going to happen all at once. We know that you love and care about Gmail as much as we do, and we’ll be working on these upgrades gradually over the next few months to allow plenty of time to understand and incorporate your feedback into the evolving design.

    How to get the new Theme:

    Simply go to Gmail Settings, click over to the Themes tab and select “Preview” or “Preview (Dense)” as your theme to try this yourself. Google has provided two themes because the end result is an elastic responsive design that shifts its information density to accomodate your screen size, but for now, you need to pick based on the density you prefer

    We’re kicking things off with two new themes for you to try out as a sort of sneak peek at what we’re up to. Starting today, you’ll see the “Preview” and “Preview (Dense)” themes in the Themes tab in Gmail Settings. Why two themes? Our new interface will eventually expand dynamically to accommodate different screen sizes and user preferences, but until then you can pick the information density that you prefer.

    Google seems to be shutting down the chance for getting invites .. however until we find another back door or workaround to send invites or Google opens up the invitation again … sorry guys

    Update #2:

    There is a another workaround that may work for people. anybody try it please and let us know

    • Update your Google Profile and Link Picasa to your profile. Your link should now work and allow you to jump right into Google+.
    • From your Gmail page in the upper right hand corner there is a drop down box next to your name. Click the View Profile option there. From there you can choose to edit your profile. After your done editing your profile it should automatically ask you to link your Picasa to your google account. After you do that you should be able to use the invite that someone sent you.

    Hopefully this will help people having the problem where you click the “Join Google +” and it re-directs you to the tour / try later page.

    Update #3:

    The invites are working now please check your emails and visit the links.
