<description><![CDATA[Embora eu seja, de certo modo, entusiasta quando se trata de informática e bugigangas eletrônicas ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Embora eu seja, de certo modo, entusiasta quando se trata de informática e bugigangas eletrônicas não  costumo pirar em upgrades e updates em geral. A grosso modo uso o computador para</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Internet:</strong> o vício em informação faz com que eu leia muita coisa Wikipedia e em trocentos portais e blogs. Recentemente tenho canalizado isso pra academia, e passado mais tempo lendo artigos e entrevistas que (espero) vão me ajudar na dissertação. Para isso eu uso o Firefox e o <a href="http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php" target="_blank">Foxit Reader</a> - bem mais leve que o Adobe Reader.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Texto:</strong> escrevo para o trabalho, para o mestrado e por prazer. O Word 2000 tem sido meu companheiro nos últimos 8 anos, bem como o Notepad (entre 2002 e 2004 cheguei a escrever alguns trabalhos da faculdade nele). Os editores do Blogger e do Wordpress também são meus amigos, especialmente porque não preciso transportar quando estou escrevendo neles. No Xandros prefiro usar o [equivalente do Notepad], configurado com uma tela preta e letras verdes, para fazer fichamentos e anotações de aula. A grande função que o Word me oferece, além das ótimas opções de formatação, é o controle de alterações e os comentários. Quando se escreve em conjunto isso faz tudo mais fácil.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Tratamento de Imagens:</strong> Photoshp CS e, mais recentemente, o Adobe Lightroom dão conta do recado. O GIMP também não faz feio, aliás, para o que eu preciso ele é bem tranquilo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Jogos:</strong> Cada vez menos, grazadeus. Jogar é bom, mas não recomendo a ninguém fazer isso no mesmo computador que usa para trabalhar. Costumo jogar clássicos de SNES, Genesis e Arcade - coisas que não tomam tanto tempo quanto deveriam. E. nada, nada de MMORPGs, managers online ou shooters - isso consome a vida das pessoas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Música e filmes:</strong> Meu Gradiente velhão toca vinil e cassete. Como tenho poucos vinis, que ainda estão emprestados, e usei todas as minhas fitas para gravar entrevistas, faço uso da boa e velha mp3 e de CDs. Para isso o uso o computador ligado ao aprelho som. Também uso o PC para assistir DVDs. Mas faço isso com pouca freqüência.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Durante uns bons anos (1999-2004) usei um computador que tinha a seguinte configuração: Processador de 500Mhz, 64MB (mais tarde 128) de memória RAM e 4GB (mais tarde 7,2) de espaço em disco. Não era a melhor coisa do mundo mas me serviu para tudo o que eu precisava. Comprei o PC novo no final de 2004 e ele também não foi nenhum top de linha - agora muito menos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A questão é que eu preciso de computador para muito pouco. Meu PC velho fazia, e certa medida, tudo que o de hoje faz e me atendia satisfatoriamente, apesar de não permitir trabalhar em com muitas tarefas ao mesmo tempo. De todo modo, o que acontece é que um computador  novo amplia o conceito de uso e cria novas necessidades.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas isso nem sempre é bom, porque o necessário para trabalhar com competência pode ser muito pouco. Poder escrever com o navegador, o gerenciador de e-mail, o leitor de PDF e o messenger abertos pode facilitar a vida bem como criar distrações, favorecer procrastinção e etc.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Muita gente (provavelmente quem tem problemas em se concentrar como eu) também pensa assim. E a partir disso surge toda uma noção de uso "minimalista" do computador. Pra quê um gerenciador de feeds  no desktop que te permite postar no Tweeter? Para que serve um editor de texto com mil opções de formatação quando tudo o que você precisa é simplesmente escrever?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A partir de questionamentos como esses é surgiu o conceito de <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2182744/fr/rss/" target="_blank"><strong>Zenware</strong></a> - que conheci através do <a href="http://magaiver.blig.ig.com.br/2008/01/zenware-programas-para-combater-as-distracoes.html" target="_blank">Magaiver</a>. A idéia é fazer programas que proporcionam uma espécie de "volta às raízes" da computação, isolam fatores de distração e permitem que você se concentre no que precisa fazer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Os dois programas desse tipo que testei foram o<a href="http://www.download.com/8301-2007_4-9719145-12.html" target="_blank"> <strong>Darkroom</strong></a> e o <a href="http://www.baara.com/q10/" target="_blank"><strong>Q10</strong></a>, editores de texto bem simples. Ambos abrem uma tela escura que cobre todo a Área de Trabalho e permite que você se concentre apenas no que está escrevendo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O Darkroom foi o primeiro programa ao qual tive acesso. Peguei numa das épocas em que tinha transcrever entrevistas e fazer relatórios a perder de vista. No meio de uma das deadlines mais insanas ele foi crucial pra que eu conseguisse dar conta de mais de 270 minutos de falas importantes e difíceis de compreender. É um programa mais simples, cru, praticamente um Notepad bombado.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O Q10 me foi apresentado pelo <a href="http://areacinza.org" target="_blank"><strong>Rocha</strong></a> na semana passada. Esse funciona de maneira mais interessante que o Darkroom porque trás recursos que enfatizam a produtividade. Você pode programá-lo para uma certa meta de caracteres por sessão e usar o (muito bem-vindo) <a href="http://www.broffice.org/verortografico" target="_blank">corretor ortográfico do BROffice</a>. Além disso ele simula o barulho de máquina de escrever enquanto você digita - o que alguns podem achar insuportável mas eu curti demais.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No caso, eu escrevo os textos e depois uso o Word ou<a href="http://www.broffice.org/" target="_blank"> Open(BR)Office</a> para formatar se for necessário. Mas como, em geral, tratam-se de fichamentos, acabo usando trechos dos txts em trabalhos maiores. Não há coisa melhor que um computador livre de distrações.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of customers are complaining about Windows Vista and it looks like earlier this morning the blog for <a href="http://oncall258.blogspot.com/">onCALL 25/8 computer repair Virginia, Maryland, DC</a> posted a video on <a href="http://oncall258.blogspot.com/2008/08/oncall-258-inc-prefers-computing.html">downgrading Vista to XP</a> but, what I'm really interested in is seeing them do a downgrade from Vista to Windows 386 - I can't believe how productive (not to mention, poetic) it looks like it can make you!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/QGO2hVA3P58'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/QGO2hVA3P58&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>It looks like Windows 386 can get you promoted, cheered by your peers and a date with the mission impossible guy. That clearly makes it far superior to Vista OR XP.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align:justify;">Microsoft's half baked Windows Vista operating system continues to add to the woes of the company. The Taiwanese Consumer Foundation(TCF) says that Microsoft is using its monopoly to sell Vista. There is nothing new to this since most companies essentially have similar intentions.</p>
<p>The TCF complaint is based on the reason that most buyers are installing Windows XP even after buying computers preloaded with Vista. So Microsoft is forcing people to buy Vista in the first place which they find unfair.</p>
<p>A lot of people reason that Microsoft cannot go on supporting Windows XP forever and it would be reasonable for them to expect people to migrate to the latest and greatest from their stables at one point of time. I accept this argument. There is nothing apparently wrong in this. But if Microsoft expects people to move over to a new OS which is plagued with numerous problems, has less hardware support than XP, requires more resources to run, is half baked in a lot of areas, comes in a confusing number of choices, and is marketed in a misleading manner, then they are expecting way too much. Windows Vista's troubles are far from over and Microsoft has acknowledged that. The company quotes increasing sales which is misleading. Due to OEM licenses, most PC manufactures bundle Vista with their computers. So a consumer does not really have a choice not to buy the crappy OS. Consequently, Microsoft's books record increasing sales for Vista.</p>
<p>My take is that most consumers are really buying the hardware and since they do not have a choice of shunning the OS, they have to take it too. The fact of the matter is many have downgraded to XP after buying brand new computers. Ever since Microsoft pulled the plug on XP, a number of users might have even installed pirated versions of XP. The corporates, of course, have stayed clear of Vista.</p>
<p>I would really like to see more of the leading manufactures selling PCs/notebooks that do not have any OS on that. Give more power to the consumers to choose what they want to run on their systems. The Ubuntu/Kubuntu Linux flavors are really good for desktops and are viable alternatives. Why do I have to pay Microsoft money when what I really want is the hardware? Of course I can get a PC assembled. What if I want to have a brand name PC with the advantage of warranties and service agreements? Why should a consumer not have this choice?</p>
<p>Hopefully somebody will see the reasoning behind these questions.</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Statement by Manie van Dyk MP, DA Spokesperson on Public Enterprises.</p>
<p>In light of the downgrading of Eskom by Moody's Rating Agency, and pending ratings by Standard &#38; Poor's and Fitch rating agencies, the Democratic Alliance (DA) calls on the government to provide a clear plan on how it is going to help Eskom raise the R343 billion for its capital expansion programme without resorting to tariff increases.</p>
<p>Government is the only shareholder in Eskom and should thus adopt actions that will bolster the utility's plummeting credit rating, and ensure that the South African public is receiving the service from Eskom it deserves.</p>
<p>It is a matter of concern that the downgrading comes at a time when the business community and South Africans are reeling from soaring food and fuel prices - any further tariff hikes by Eskom will negatively affect our growth prospects.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Eskom is furthermore in the midst of a major capital expansion programme. One of the prerequisites for economic growth in any industrialized economy is the presence of predictable and sustainable electricity supply.  In the long run, not being able to ensure a steady supply of electricity will pose a threat to South Africa's growth prospects.  Besides this, power outages cause congestion, disrupt business activities and inconvenience millions of South Africans.  The Government must therefore take immediate action to ensure that Eskom's capital expenditure programme is not compromised by the credit or investment downgrading.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that the power outages that South Africa witnessed at the end of last year are the outcome of government's neglect of our electricity generation infrastructure over the past decade, which has resulted in a situation whereby we have insufficient reserve margins to cope with routine failures.  The DA therefore calls for the government to abandon its usual laissez-faire attitude and immediately release the first tranche of the R60 billion it committed to Eskom - and allay fears over insecure funding for the power utility.</p>
<p>The DA is strongly opposed to any unjustifiable tariff hikes as these are likely to have a substantial effect on inflation and hence monetary policy - with vulnerable members of society taking the brunt of such increases, even as they are already suffering due to the escalating prices of food and fuel.</p>
<p>The Government must urgently explain how it will assist the energy utility as certainty on government plans will bring confidence in the utility's funding situation and save it from further downgrading from pending ratings.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Today was one of those days that made me wish I stayed in bed.<span>  </span>Both the Dow and oil were down, gold was down, energy was way up, and unfortunately, the financials were way down.<span>  </span>A lot of downgrades were handed out this week: Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), and Fannie Mae (FNM) were all downgraded, and may have led to today’s march into the vortex.<span>  </span>An email from a guy named Charles Payne popped into my inbox today, apparently from some stock market mailing list I inadvertently signed myself up for, that was titled “Tough Day to Decipher” and called today’s session “murky”.<span>  </span>Loch Ness murky.<span>  </span>Mid-Atlantic Ridge with no flashlight murky.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The downgrades of such big banks no doubt contributed to today’s dismalness; just the threat that Zion Bancorporation (ZION) may be downgraded sent the stock into a tailspin.<span>  </span>But it may all be a ploy by the big guys to keep the naked shorts away.<span>  </span>The ban on naked short selling was lifted today, and it’s hard to imagine there was no connection between its lift and the big downgrades.<span>  </span>Once a stock is downgraded, it falls sharply, then begins to make a steady increase.<span>  </span>No short money can be made on a stock going up.<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I bought more SSBX in the morning, and it held at about where I bought it all day.<span>  </span>I finally gave up on the dream that the fake OTC IndyMac (IDMC) was more than a fake OTC IndyMac and sold it at a pretty substantial loss.<span>  </span>Looking forward, I can use those funds better investing in UCHB, MF, and/or Community Bancorp (CBON), the last of which weathered today’s storm pretty well, closing up 5%.<span>  </span>A friend of mine says CBON is a good investment and points to the nice steady upward slope the stock has made since July 15.<span>  </span>He thinks “Something must be going on with it.”<span>  </span>I like his technical analysis.<span>  </span>CHC held up pretty well today too.<span>  </span><span>  </span><span> </span><span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:13pt;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The Dow closed down 139 to $11,642.<span>  </span>Oil sank $1.44 to close at $13.01.<span>  </span>Every stock in my portfolio, with the exception of CHC and TMA, closed in the red today, but several of the downers (and the Dow) had small rallies at the very end of the day.<span>  </span>Hopefully it’s an indication of better days ahead.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Emergent Church is one of the fastest growing and most heatedly debated movements in the religious world today. It has been attacked on many fronts by thousands of blogs, and to be honest, you can go ahead and add this one to the list. Before you write this off as more of the same, hear me out. There are two things I want to point out before you go looking for other material.</p>
<p>First, this is not an attack on the people of the Emergent movement. I do not know any of them, but from their writings, if guys like Doug Pagitt and Bryan McLaren are anything, it is sincere. That is not to say, however, that they are not misguided and mistaken. It is my fervent prayer that these zealots for God who seem to be searching diligently for Him would find Him where millions of others have before and will hereafter: in the pages of His Holy Word. If you are searching for God, turn off your computer and pick up a copy. As David said:</p>
<p><em>How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.<br />
Through your precepts, I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.<br />
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path...<br />
The unfolding of your words gives light...<br />
My heart stands in awe of your words.</em><br />
Taken from the 119<sup>th</sup> Psalm</p>
<p>Second, the angle of this critique is not one of philosophy or theology (though we will employ some.) Blogs to those ends abound. This post in particular aims at the paths the Emergent Church now walks and who walked them before. The Emergent Church is a relatively new movement, but its errors are as old as Christianity itself. Remember the words of Solomon?</p>
<p><em>What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.<br />
Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"?<br />
It has been already in the ages before us.<br />
There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.</em><br />
Ecclesiastes 1:9-11</p>
<p>So with love and trepidation, over the next few weeks, I will humbly point out four unfruitful paths now being trod by Emergent feet. The first of these is <strong>Syncretism</strong> as seen in the early Roman Catholic Church. The second is a sort of <strong>Pseudo-Gnosticism</strong> that rejects the plain truth of the Word of God for a hidden knowledge. The third is <strong>De-emphasis on Theology</strong> seen prominently in my own Baptist denomination in 19<sup>th</sup> century Britain. The fourth and final critique is on the <strong>Social Gospel</strong> that has done nothing in modern America but effectively <em>decrease</em> the empathy of churches.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Muito se tem reclamado da autocracia da Microsoft de não disponibilizar mais o tão estável Window]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Muito se tem reclamado da autocracia da Microsoft de não disponibilizar mais o tão estável Windows XP, e obrigar nós, mortais usuários finais, a utilizar o famigerado, instável, lento e pouco aceito por periféricos Windows Vista.</p>
<p>Certamente existe um enorme conforto em não mudar de sistema operacional, principalmente se o que você já tem está funcionando bem. Ter que transferir todos os seus documentos e instalar todos os programas pode ser um pouco trabalhoso, ainda mais não tendo absoluta certeza que tudo irá funcionar bem.</p>
<p>Com tanta reclamação e tantos "problemas", deveríamos esperar que as vendas do Windos Vista fossem uma desgraça. Acontece que o Vista está vendendo que nem água no deserto! Batendo todos os recordes de vendas!</p>
<p>Será mesmo que está vendendo tanto?<br />
Não estou insinuando que a Microsoft está fraudando essas informações. Porém o Vista não está vendendo tanto assim. As pessoas não vão as lojas e pedem pelo sistema operacional.</p>
<p>O que está ocorrendo é que a venda de notebooks e computadores de legalizados de marca estão batendo todos os recordes. E não só em países desenvolvidos. Aqui no país do presidente analfabeto também! Algo nunca visto por aqui antes.</p>
<p>Quando a Microsoft lançou o Windows 95, os computadores de marca passaram a vir com o novo sistema instalado. No lançamento do Windows 98, idem. Só que como a venda de máquinas Xing-Ling era muito maior - existiu uma época em que a venda de computadores Xing-Ling era de 90% do mercado - esta nova adaptação na base da ditadura não era percebida. Simplesmente aquele menino da informática colocava o sistema operacional que estávamos acostumados, e acabávamos mudando bem depois do lançamento. Tempo suficiente para todos os periféricos estarem compatíveis com o sistema operacional mais atual.</p>
<p>A pequena quantidade de novos adpetos do novo sistema operacional logo após o lançamento não fazia tanto estardalhaço. E convenhamos, naquela época, quem instalava o recém lançado é porque gostava de testar as novidades do momento e tinha um interesse maior pelo assunto. Provavelmente era um nerd, daqueles que são amantes de Star Wars e não muito habilidosos para conquistar mulheres.</p>
<p>Agora usuários finais reclamam da obrigatoriedade de usar um lançamento pouco estável e compatível com o resto de suas bugigangas virtuais. Estão com todo o seu direito. Mas só agora estão reclamando? Há pelo menos 13 anos a Microsoft faz isso e até então isso nunca foi motivo para revoltas e cartinhas para o jornal.</p>
<p>Podiam pelo menos se informar um pouco mais. É possível, sim, utilizar a licença mais atual em versões anteriores. Downgrade é permitido. Maiores explicações <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/2/3/d23b9533-169d-4996-b198-7b9d3fe15611/downgrade_chart.doc">aqui</a>.</p>
<p>Só pra deixar claro, estou muito satisfeito com meu Vista e não estou fazendo nenhum tipo de campanha para as pessoas fazerem downgrade. Mas se não gostou do novo, mude e pronto.</p>
<p>Aliás, eu gostava bem mais daquele modelo mais antigo do Pálio. Aqueles primeiros modelos mesmo, de uns cinco anos atrás, com a traseira mais arredondada. Vou mandar uma cartinha pro jornal reclamando que a Fiat não está mais vendendo carros naquele modelo. Quem sabe ela me escuta e não faz um modelo especial pra mim?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Downgrade</strong> (del inglés, literalmente, "bajar un nivel") es un proceso <a class="mw-redirect" title="Informático" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inform%C3%A1tico">informático</a> consistente en reducir en complejidad, eliminar partes innecesarias o reducir el número de partes móviles.</p>
<p>El "downgrade" es lo que quiero hacer en mi vida, bajar un nivel, bajar la intensidad de mis pensamientos, molestias, desengaños y vivir una vida mas frugal. Todo esto se debe a que se llega a un punto en el cual me di cuenta que de nada sirve, vivir por vivir, sin metas sin sueños, sin algo porque luchar. Sin hacer ejercicio, Sin disfrutar, Sin vacaciones, solo despertarse ir al trabajo.</p>

<description><![CDATA[si alguno de vosotros a actualizado su iphone a la nueva version 2.0 y esta teniendo problemas, y qu]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>si alguno de vosotros a actualizado su iphone a la nueva version 2.0 y esta teniendo problemas, y quiere volver como estaba antes; de iphoneapps nos llega este tutorial:</p>
<p><strong>Pasos de preparación:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Habrás instalado la version 7.7 de iTunes, así que necesitarás quitarla e instalar la versión 7.6 o 7.5 que puedes <a href="http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm">descargar desde aquí</a>. <em>(Reiniciar después de desinstalar iTunes 7.7)</em></p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Bájate una copia del <a href="http://iphoneapps.es/firmwares/">firmware 1.1.4 para el iPhone</a></p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Descarga la versión parcheada del ZiPhone para bajar el baseband <a href="http://iphone-freak.com/en/page1/page1.html"><em>(ZiPhoneOSX patched by kIREmK 04.05.04_G)</em></a></p>
<p><strong>4. </strong>Descarga el <a href="http://download.ziphone.org/">ZiPhone original</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Empecemos con el proceso de restauración:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Pon el iPhone en <strong>modo DFU</strong></p>
<p>Extraido del genial comentario de Molatrix:</p>
<blockquote><p>” - DFU MODE: Es el segundo modo de recuperación y básicamente lo usamos cuando la cosa se pone peliaguda, por decirlo de alguna manera. Para acceder a él:</p>
<p>1- Encendemos el iPhone y lo conectamos al ordenador, da exactamente igual en que modo esté.</p>
<p>2- Presionamos el botón HOME y POWER al mismo tiempo (es lo mismo que para resetearlo cuando se queda colgado) durante 10seg exactos (a los 7 u 8 la pantalla se queda en negra) y soltamos el botón POWER manteniendo el HOME (la mayoría de las veces se queda en negro la pantalla como si estuviera apagado, pero iTunes nos lo reconocerá en modo de recuperación).”</p></blockquote>
<p><em>(<a href="http://iphoneapps.es/2008/04/15/como-restaurar-un-iphone-ipod-touch/">este post</a> puede ser de ayuda si se te resiste, para ver como ponerlo en ese modo, una vez en ese modo vuelve a este post <img class="wp-smiley" src="http://iphoneapps.es/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> )</em></p>
<p><strong>2. </strong>Usando el<strong> iTunes 7.6 o 7.5</strong> debería detectarlo en modo restauración, pulsamos sobre el boton “Restaurar” pero teniendo apretada la tecla de mayusculas <em>(Shift)</em>. Si obtienes un error que empieza por 16xx, reinicia el ordenador o intenta usar otro.</p>
<p><strong>3. </strong>Después de poner el firmware 1.1.4 verás un error 1015, esto es normal en este caso.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>Saca el iPhone del modo recuperación</strong> utilizando el ZiPhone no parcheado u otra herramienta como iLiberty o WinPwn… <em>(tienen una opcion para reiniciar normalmente el iPhone). </em>Después de haberlo sacado de ese modo, cierra cualquier herramienta de jailbreak que tengas abierta.</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong>Ejecuta la versión parcheada de ZiPhone que has descargado antes. Asegúrate de tener marcada la opción de <strong>“Baseband downgrading”</strong> y presiona <em>“<strong>Start”</strong></em>.</p>
<p>6. Ahora<strong> ya deberías tener tu iPhone normal</strong>, sin el jailbreak, así que ahora tocará hacer el jailbreak como lo habías hecho en otras ocasiones <img class="wp-smiley" src="http://iphoneapps.es/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> <strong>(acuérdate de no usar el ZiPhone Parcheado para esto)</strong></p>
<p> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<li><font size="3"><br />
God, how I love sequels. I think this is going to go down in the history of Jump Up!, for starting the trend of Part Twos and Part Threes.</p>
<p>Okay first of all, <a href="http://jumpup.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/aaa-safe-is-us-on-the-credit-death-row/">the last post</a> seems to be inching closer and closer to reality. Oh that shucks!</p>
<p>Almost like a thrilling end. But its sort of a beginning of the end![Almost!]</p>
<p><em>WSJ</em> on Saturday reported, that Government of USA has decided to pocket the debts of Freddie Mac and Fennie Mae.... </p>
<p>Wow! That literally put the DOW on scorched rally isn't it? Well, it was nothing more than a deadcat bounce.<br />
You know what is that? </p>
<p>A short term, whiplash or shortlived rally which "flatters to deceive"! That is, leading to a huger crash.</p>
<p>Okay quoting a particular disturbing paragraph,</p>
<blockquote><p>
     Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson swatted back reports of government nationalization of Fannie and Freddie, which would mean making explicit what, has long been an implicit taxpayer guarantee of their liabilities. This would instantly add $5 trillion in liabilities to the federal balance sheet, doubling the U.S. public debt burden and putting America’s AAA credit rating at risk. This is a nightmare scenario for taxpayers.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>You know what does that mean, US Government has just decided it has fallen in love with the very colour of Marxism. Literally and Figuratively. The color red, on their ledgerbooks!</p>
<p>Although, this gracious pocketing of red ink, has lead the market to some positive upside, but this is just the beginning of the end. As told earlier in the post, US government has outstanding writeoffs of the order of some $400 billion. Yeah 'b' as in billion. And on that, it has decided to <em> actually</em> clean the mess, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae-d.</p>
<p>Come on, accept it, they were no poster boys of corporate ethical practices. They were crooked to their bones in their practices and ethics. But when US government decides to save them, certain things are worth looking:</p>
<ul>
<ol>
<li> Fed is not playing by the books. Where is its advocacy of free market and sworn allegiance to Adam Smith's invisble hand?
</li>
<p></p>
<li>
This writeoff has just deepened the wound. This means a weak dollar
</li>
<p></p>
<li> A weak dollar means strong oil [<strong>bad</strong>], strong gold [<strong>neutral</strong>], weak bourses[<strong>bad</strong>],rising commodity[<strong>bad</strong>], strong yen[<strong>not so good</strong>] and instability overall.
</li>
<p></p>
<li> A strong rupee and a stronger short term euro. <em>"RBI let the rupee loose!"</em>
</li>
<p></p>
<li>And it strongly means <u>US is becoming an increasingly risky investment preposition</u>. Possibly a loss of AAA???
</li>
</ol>
</ul>
<p>
A lot remains to be seen. A lot of them above is a specultation. Many of them would lead to an apocalypse sort of situation. And as for oil, it seems only Murphy's law is holding. First the highly mismatched supply demand situation, now a weak dollar. </p>
<p>But, in the midst of this, there is yet another silver lining.<br />
Gold!<br />
Gold has not shown <em>that</em> "jalwa" when we look in the same lens as that of oil. Hope the situation changes now.<br />
My bet would be to invest in companies which has anything (even remotely) to do with oil infrastructure [Reliance] or anything to do with gold, like futures, or etfs.<br />

La ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La pregunta del momento:<br />
¿A quien le agradó <strong>realmente</strong> el nuevo sistema operativo de Microsoft?</p>
<p>La verdad, aparte del Windows Aero y las evidentes mejorías en el área de seguridad, el usuario promedio no le dió la acogida que se esperaba a esta nueva versión del OS. Ni siquiera con la entrega del primer Service Pack se logró levantar el interés de la mayoría.<br />
En palabras de varios de mis conocidos (y algunos familiares) las descripciones varían desde <em>"<strong>Ese Windows es un monstruo devora-recursos..."</strong></em>  hasta <em><strong>"... Mas que Windows Vista parece un Windows Mickey Mouse... mucho color, muy divertido pero, nada productivo..."</strong></em></p>
<p>Comentarios como esos y otros por el estilo: <em><strong>"¿Yo? ¿Vista? Nooo! yo todavía quiero a mi máquina!!"</strong></em> o <em>"<strong>No hay nada que mi bueno y viejo Windows XP Professional o mi Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 no hagan igual o hasta mejor que Vista... Y con menos memoria!!!"</strong></em> No me extrañarían de usuarios finales, lo malo es que algunos de ellos son Desarrolladores, IT's o Power Users con bastante experiencia.</p>
<p>No pasó mucho tiempo antes que las llamadas de auxilio empezaran a sonar: Quejas por los Drivers, Quejas por compatibilidad con los Juegos o cualquier otro programa, quejas por esto y aquello... Hasta una ROD (Red Screen Of Death) con un Windows Vista RC1!</p>
<p>Aunque ya transcurrió un poco más de un año desde el primer downgrade que le hice a una PC con Windows Vista a Windows XP Professional (... la verdad la práctica ha sido constante...  Y a veces llena de sorpresas!)no dejo de sorprenderme  cuando veo que un SO tan elegante y sólidamente diseñado pueda provocar fallas tan horribles por cosas tan simples como un periférico.</p>
<p>A instancias de Bracamonte, Galvez y Rodríguez (Tres amigos y colegas en las lides informáticas) decidí publicar una especie de tutorial. Sé que hay muchas personas (Y hasta empresas!) que han estado buscando la manera de lograrlo, así que sin más vueltas:</p>
[caption id="attachment_58" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="Downgrade de Windows Vista a Windows XP Professional"]<a href="http://xabantech.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/down_vista_2_xp.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-58  " src="http://xabantech.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/down_vista_2_xp.jpg?w=200" alt="Downgrade Windows Vista To XP" width="200" height="200" /></a>[/caption]
<p><strong><em>"There is no knowledge that is not power." </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>"No hay conocimiento que no sea poder."</em></strong></p>
<p>Decía cierto videojuego de peleas con el que solía entretenerme durante mi adolescencia y ¿Saben? ¡Es verdad! Así que antes de sacar los CD's o empezar a borrar archivos y quitar particiones; Prestemos atención a lo que tienen que decir los diferentes proveedores de PC's de marcas reconocidas y a la propia Microsoft con respecto a los "Derechos de Downgrade" (No sé a ustedes, pero me suena mejor "<em>Derechos de Downgrade</em>" que "<em>Derechos de Desactualización"</em>)   La mayoría de ellos proveen el servicio, drivers, utilerías y/o los medios físicos para efectuar esta labor.</p>
<p>Hay que tener presente que hay que considerar cuidadosamente ciertos puntos antes de solicitar o intentar hacer el downgrade: </p>
<ol>
<li><strong>No</strong> <strong>todas</strong> las versiones de Windows Vista tienen derecho a Downgrade.</li>
<li>Las versiones de Windows Vista que tienen derecho a Downgrade son: <strong>Windows Vista Business (OEM) </strong>y<strong> Windows Vista Ultimate (OEM) </strong>(Esto<strong> excluye de los Derechos de Downgrade </strong>a<strong> Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Basic, Windows Vista Home </strong>y<strong> Windows Vista Home Premium).</strong></li>
<li>El Downgrade del SO es posible <strong>únicamente</strong> de las <strong>versiones autorizadas</strong> <strong>de Windows Vista</strong> hacia <strong>Windows XP Professional</strong> (<strong>Incluyendo</strong> <strong>Windows XP Tablet PC Edition</strong> y <strong>Windows XP x64 Edition</strong>) quedando entonces fuera del derecho de downgrade cualquiera de las otras versiones de éste SO (O sea que <strong>Windows XP Starter, Windows XP Home </strong>y <strong>Windows XP Media Center quedan excluidos</strong>)</li>
<li>Una vez hecho el Downgrade <strong>no pueden utilizarse ambas versiones del SO</strong></li>
<li>Cuando el cliente final así lo desee o considere que ya está en capacidad de usar nuevamente la versión de Windows Vista que fué objeto de Downgrading, puede reinstalarla sin ningun obstáculo o penalización.</li>

<description><![CDATA[Here are the steps for a successful 2.0 to 1.1.4 downgrade for those of you that updated to 2.0 and ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are the steps for a successful 2.0 to 1.1.4 downgrade for those of you that updated to 2.0 and realized what a mistake it was. (Thanks goes to <span style="color:#ff0000;">Geeb</span> for finding the iTunes 7.5 solution, Thanks goes to <span style="color:#ff0000;">Crumpx</span> for the pwnage method). Note that this has been performed on a PC.</p>
<p>Ok, so you updated to iTunes 7.7 and then installed 2.0 and you’re stuck. Here are the steps to downgrade to 1.1.4. Note that the result of this guide will be that you will be back to 1.1.4 version of firmware with baseband of 2.0 (4.05.04_G).</p>
<p>1) The first problem in your downgrade is that you probably are getting error 20 in restore mode and error 160x in DFU mode. This is due to iTunes 7.7.  So, you now you need to <span style="color:#ff6600;">uninstall iTunes 7.7</span> and <span style="color:#ff6600;">install iTunes 7.5</span>. Make sure after your iTunes 7.7 uninstall you reboot your pc as it requests you to. **OSX users, see note at bottom of page to downgrade your iTunes.</p>
<p>2) Now that you have  iTunes 7.5, you will still have the DFU driver for 7.7. This is good and will allow the process to work. <span style="color:#ff6600;">Put your phone into DFU</span> mode using the <a href="http://iphone.sleepers.net/blog/?page_id=13">DFU steps</a>.</p>
<p>3) <span style="color:#ff6600;">Restore using iTunes 7.5</span>. You will get an error like 1011, 1013, 1015. This is normal and expected. An error 1601, 1602, 1600 or anything else is not ok.</p>
<p>4) Once you get error above, leave iTunes open and <span style="color:#ff6600;">kick your phone out of restore mode</span>. I recommend just loading <a href="http://theiphoneproject.org/index.php/downloads?func=startdown&#38;id=5">winpwn</a>(PC) or <a href="http://theiphoneproject.org/index.php/downloads?func=startdown&#38;id=1">pwnage</a>(MAC) and pwning the device at this point. If pwnage fails to work, you need to restore your phone again. You should be able to use normal restore mode, however. Other ways to kick out of restore mode may be <a href="http://www.iphone-hacks.com/download.php?id=37">ibrickr</a>, <a href="http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip">jailbreak 1.1.2</a> (boot phone), <a href="http://theiphoneproject.org/index.php/downloads?func=startdown&#38;id=6">iLiberty+</a>.</p>
<p>5) Once completed, you have a pwned device with baseband 4.05.04_G from firmware v2.0.</p>
<p>6) To get back to 04.04.05_G (1.1.4 baseband) <span style="color:#ff6600;">load bootneuter</span>. If you don’t have this, install it from installer. Run bootneuter with Neuter, 4.6, and unlock. When it’s done, you will have an unlocked 04.04.05_G right back where you started.</p>
<p>Note: if you get  a boot neuter error like 05, 02 or such, you probably have more steps. Unfortunately, there is no safe answer to this one.The only method I know of to do this is to use a patched version of Ziphone as described <a href="http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39845">here</a>. Before you do this, you should know the risks. Read my Ziphone warning <a href="http://sleepers.net/news/?p=190">here</a>. Your other option is to just wait for dev teams pwnage v2.0.

<p><strong>Note for OSX users:</strong><br />
If you are on OSX and want to attempt to downgrade your iTunes, you can try these steps:</p>
<p>Load up Terminal and type the following:<br />
killall iTunesHelper<br />
sudo -s<br />
rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app<br />
rm -r /Library/Receipts/iTunesX.pkg<br />
rm  ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*<br />
rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app<br />
rm -r /Library/Receipts/iTunesX.pkg<br />
rm  ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*<br />
rm -r /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework</p>
<p><strong>Troubleshooting:</strong><br />
Some of you have reported “I am in DFU mode and keep getting error 20 from iTunes restore”. Answer, you are not in DFU mode. Follow the guide and the <a href="http://iphone.sleepers.net/blog/?page_id=13">DFU link</a>. An iPhone in DFU mode has no image on the screen and looks powered down.</p>
<p>Some of you are reporting error 160x (1600, 1601, 1602, 1604 etc) on the iTunes downgrade while in DFU mode. I suggest trying another PC. You may still have some residual files left over from the 7.7 install. Make sure you are in iTunes 7.5 with drivers from 7.7.</p>
