BlackBerry Z10 Review: A New Hope

The zippy new smartphone won't dethrone Android or put a major dent in Apple's iPhone dominance, but it will make current BlackBerry users happy enough to lay down some cash.

AVG launches LiveKive cloud sync and backup tool

A while back, we told you about AVG's new LiveKive service, a new cloud synchronization and backup tool which appears to have been named after a vat in which mash is made during the brewing process. But enough about AVG's odd choice of monikers -- LiveKive has launched and is now ready to accept your files into the AVG cloud.

LiveKive takes aim at services like Dropbox and SugarSync, though at the moment it's lagging behind in terms of features. As it stands, LiveKive is only compatible with Windows and OS X. There are no mobile clients yet, though with AVG's strong presence on Android we wouldn't be surprised to see an app arrive in the near future.

The company is offering a heck of a deal right now, however. If you sign up for a paid account during the launch phase, you can score unlimited storage for $80 for a whole year. You can't even score 50GB per year at that price from Dropbox, so if cost and space are more important to you than cross-platform availability, LiveKive might be worth checking out.

If you're not interested in ponying up any cash at the moment, you can still get a 5GB account free of charge. Just head on over, and create a LiveKive account.

Install the Windows Phone 7 NoDo update regardless of your carrier

Some of you who own Windows Phone 7 devices are still waiting for your pre-NoDo preparation update -- never mind NoDo itself. A few workarounds have been posted, but unfortunately they didn't work unless your carrier had completed testing and was ready to schedule the update.

Now, however, the Chevron WP7 team's Chris Walshie has delivered a handy little utility that will allow you to update any Windows Phone 7 device -- regardless of your carrier.

1. Download and install the Windows Phone Support Tool (x86 or x64) and the ChevronWP7 Updater (x86 or x64)
2. Launch ChevronWP7 Updater and select your language. If your language isn't listed, stop and do not update.
3. If were running WP7 build 7004 (you can verify in Zune) then run the updater twice.

Once the process completes, you should be able to copy and paste to your heart's content. Let's just hope all this update foolishness gets sorted out before we're supposed to receive Mango.

Apple beta-testing patch that disables Evasi0n

Apple is beta-testing an update that will disable the Evasi0n jailbreak. David Wang, one of the creators of Evasi0n said, that in analyzing the beta release of iOS 6.1.3, he found that one of the five bugs used by the Evasi0n team to jailbreak iOS had been fixed. If 6.1.3 ships to users with this fix in place, it would mean that the Evasi0n jailbreak no longer worked. According to Forbes, Wang says that Evasi0n currently requires all of the exploits to function:

?If one of the vulnerabilities doesn?t work, evasi0n doesn?t work,? he says. ?We could replace that part with a different vulnerability, but [Apple] will probably fix most if not all of the bugs we?ve used when 6.1.3 comes out.?

It?s not uncommon for iOS updates to contain fixes for bugs that jailbreak developers use to get around the restrictions of iOS, so the fact that 6.1.3 effectively disables Evasi0n is not surprising. Wang expects that iOS 6.1.3 could remain in beta for another month. This might give him and the rest of the Evasi0n team time to begin to develop a version of the jailbreak that works with 6.1.3, but they will have to wait until 6.1.3 is finalized and released to the public before they know the entirety of what they?re up against.
