After developers, writers, and Twitter followers began to suspect that the video demo of the Dream Jailbreak was, well, totally fake, Dream pulled a gutsy move: the developer announced on Twitter that the jailbreak would launch “tonight,” and then, “in 45 minutes.” Thing is, at that point we had solid evidence on multiple fronts that [...]

As promised, the developer behind Dream Jailbreak posted the first of two videos demoing the contested jailbreak this evening, ready to be picked apart by stalwart regulars in the developer community and hack writers such as myself. The uploaded video is the first in a two-part series, in the first of which the Dream Jailbreak’s [...]

An anonymous developer known only as ‘Dream Jailbreak’ claims to have developed a jailbreak for iOS 6.0 and 6.0.1 that will support all devices compatible with the firmware. Supposedly this jailbreak will be released on December 22nd, just over two weeks away. Oddly enough, Dream Jailbreak is not collaborating with any of the well-known Dev Teams [...]

John Herthop released a fake video, passing off a simulation [...]

If you saw the video footage Nokia showed of earlier this week in their Lumia 920 announcement ad, you might have thought it was too good to be true. The ad depicts a man and woman on bicycles, riding next to each other; the man is ostensibly filming the woman as they ride along, and [...]

Remember the renders of the so-called ‘iPhone 5‘ that were so authentic looking that Gizmodo thought they were real? We weren’t sure what was up, but we thought it was a little odd that the phone in the photos had the old Maps icon. (And as improved as the next iPhone’s antenna may be, we’d be surprised [...]

It is no doubt the new 1080p Apple TV 3G has pleased those searching for a full HD media streaming solution from Apple.
