  • Bowie at Beeb: Best of BBC Radio 68-72

    • 10 out of 10
    • David Bowie
    • The companion CD to a BBC television concert, BBC Radio Theatre has some of the best renditions of many of Bowie's best songs throughout his career. "I'm Afraid of Americans" is substantial

  • Jagged Little Pill (Acoustic)

    • 6 out of 10
    • Alanis Morissette
    • Ten years after the original release, comes the traditional celebratory acoustic re-recording. The album has held up remarkably well. While it is not as meaningful to me as it was when I was sixteen,
  • Velocifero

    • 6 out of 10
    • Ladytron
    • "Back to the future" isn't the right turn of phrase for Ladytron's newest album,

  • Haunted

    • 10 out of 10
    • Poe
    • Dropping like a bomb on some of the blah musical offerings of her contemporaries, Haunted was one of the best albums of 2000, obliterating the competition.

      Ostensibly a tie-in to her brot

  • Goodbye Jumbo

    • 8 out of 10
    • World Party
    • Released in 1990, World Party's

iPhone 1.0.2 Update Forces Restore, Disables Hacks

The iPhone 1.0.2 update released by Apple on Tuesday forces a Restore for those who have used the Jailbreak hacks to unlock their phones, disabling those hacks in the process. iPodObserver.com confirmed this to be the case.

The Jailbreak hack allows iPhone owners to access the iPhone in ways not intended by Apple. It gives access to do things like add ringtones, modify OS X (the OS that makes the iPhone an iPhone), unlock the device without having an AT&T account, etc.

Both the 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 software updates for the iPhone required a Restore, but Apple has heretofore not disabled the tools used by the iPhone hackers to develop their hacks.
