- Goldfrapp
On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.
- The Redwalls
- Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

- The second and final album from this power-pop group makes me wish Jellyfish had been able to make just one more record together. The album is best enjoyed as a whole piece, flowing from one track to

Hackers Unbricking Upgraded iPhones
Sunday, September 30th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Procedures for reverting an unlocked iPhone back to firmware version 1.0.2 began appearing over the weekend, restoring life to iPhones that stopped working after the 1.1.1 update. Those first steps revived many phones but left them unable to make phone calls. Now it appears that phone functionality has been restored, as well, according to Gizmodo.
The hard working coders at iPhone Dev Team appear to be well on the way to releasing a new version of their unlocking software that is compatible with the 1.1.1 firmware update.
The iPhone Sim Free people originally claimed that their paid unlock would work even after a firmware update, but that turned out not to be the case. Now the company is telling customers that downgrading to firmware version 1.0.2 will give them back a working phone.
Even though there appears to be some sort of light at the end of the bricked iPhone tunnel, the advice from the hacking community isn’t changing yet: If you have hacked your iPhone, and don’t want to risk losing any functionality, don’t install the 1.1.1 firmware update.
