Whites ejected from Zuma meeting

So much for our New South African Rainbow Nation!

This article from my local paper really scared me. I couldn't find the article online so I just scanned it in. For me, it paints a picture that even though we're out of the Apartheid era, there is still an obsession with race.

The gist of the article is that the "Forum of Black Journalists" (I don't see how in the Rainbow Nation we can have organizations specifying the race you have to be, but anyway) had President of the ANC, Jacob Zuma as the guest speaker.

The White journalists who were there, were escorted out.
When Yusuf Abramjee (a supposedly Muslim journalist who was allowed to stay) openly condemned the gathering, he was loudly heckled.

Then to top it off, Jacob Zuma (probably the future president of South Africa) said to journalists afterwards that he "saw nothing wrong" with the enforced colour bar.

This should not be tolerated in any country, let alone one that is constantly blowing its own trumpet about equality.

I'm disgusted.

Unlocked iPhone OTB 1.1.2

Hey hey it feels like Christmas!

So, I just managed to unlock my UK iPhone (OTB 1.1.2) finally!
It seemed like I had been waiting forever for this crack, but it's actually just been since November. THANKS GEOHOT!

Anyway, the process wasn't too bad if you know what you're doing - I didn't.
I got it right eventually, and that's why I'm writing this post, so it'll be easier for you!

My starting point was a jailbroken OTB 1.1.2 iPhone

1. I followed the iClarified tutorial.
My phone said "starting the unlock" then froze half way through and rebooted.
When it rebooted there was still no carrier listed in the top left corner.
So it looked like it didn't work!

2. Install bricktool.
I decided to follow this advice:
WHO EVER IS HAVING THE spinning wheel AND REBOOTING U HAVE TO: FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING NO SERVICE after unlocker specially in OTB 1.1.3(modem:4.03 and bl=4.6) put bricktool files in USR/BIN OPEN TERMINAL IN PHONE AND USE THE FOLLOWING COMMMANDS AND RESTART THE PHONE
cd /usr/bin
chmod +x bricktool
bricktool d (after this command it will tell you PHONE PART ENABLED)
here we go for bricktool http://www.sendspace.com/file/e0tpu9 thats it.

My carrier showed up in the top left corner. My iPhone appeared to be unlocked and I did a little war dance around my room. But then I noticed it kept crashing when I tried calling.

3. Install iWorld
Then I discovered, if you live in a foreign country, you need to install iWorld and select your country from the list. Then, no more crashing!!

Aaaaaawwww Yeeeeaaah, unlocked iPhone!
