There are a lot of buzz here in the Philippines the revamped smart phone from Apple, the iPhone, will be officially released on August 22 and the official telecoms partner will be Globe telecoms!

That’s is good news, well at least for those who can afford it.

Some Filipinos are thinking of buying their unit in the United States or some other country where the iphone is way cost less compared to the price here in the Philippines.

The only problems that these guys will have is unlocking their iphones.

I did a quick search of it on the internet and read about 3 terms or words that has something to do with unlocking the Iphone 3G, and they are:

I still don’t know or having problem differentiating the those three (jailbreak, winpwn, and ziphone) words. Which one is which. I haven’t really done a complete study or research for winpwn, or jailbreak but I’m sure there’s a difference..

Trouble Installing Ubuntu on a NEO Laptop

Check out this article about Trouble Installing Ubuntu on a NEO Laptop. Please tell me what you think about it. You can contact me anytime!

I bought my very first laptop last week which comes pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Basic.

My original plan was to erase the whole thing and put Ubuntu on it. Tried it couple of days ago but didn’t work out.

After the boot up from the CD (requested a copy of Ubuntu 7.10) it displayed the little cross hair, then nothing…

I thought it’s probably the Vista… So I put in XP.. coz I tried installing Ubuntu over XP before, but the same thing happened!

So I wonder if this is a hardware issue on my laptop? It’s a NEO Empriva 540SVBe.

Will do a search later.

Disabling Sun Keyboard Abort Sequence

Check out this article about Disabling Sun Keyboard Abort Sequence. Please tell me what you think about it. You can contact me anytime!

Here is the scenario all you SysAds out there… You accidentally initiated an abort sequence in one of your Solaris (sparc) box. As a consequence, your SPARC-based SYSTEM WENT INTO THE prom MODE. You need to disable the default keyboard abort sequence.

The default keyboard abort sequence on a Solaris system is sent with the L1-A or STOP-A keys pressed together on an attached Sun keyboard, or the BREAK signal on the serial console.

Inserting or unplugging a keyboard on a running Sun system will also send an abort sequence, effectively dropping you to the Open Boot Prompt (”ok” prompt).

To disable the keyboard abort sequence for the current session:
kbd -a disable

To disable the keyboard abort sequence for future sessions (i.e. after a system reboot), change the following in /etc/default/keyboard.

From:

#KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable

To:

KEYBOARD_ABORT=enable

And you’re done.
