Fix blackra1n and Spirit Jailbreak issues with iFixer
A new utility iFixer by Kirma has been released which aims to help in fixing issues encountered when using blackra1n or Spirit jailbreak. It fixes issues such as the ASL.dll error when running blackra1n and the iTunes error when using Spirit.
Software update to solve iPad WiFi issues
After the launch of iPad we heard that some iPads had issues with dodgy Wifi connectivity. Even though a small number of people have reported these issues, it is up to Apple to fix them. (we haven’t witnessed or heard about any iPad issues from our friends, even ours works great!) Trying to keep up with the magical device tagline, Apple has confirmed that they will address these Wifi-connectivity problems with a software update.
Spirit Jailbreak tool updated with fixes for photo deletion and error code c0000005
As expected, after feedback on various bugs by users, Spirit Jailbreak tool has gotten its first update. This update fixes the issue where jailbreaking your iDevice automatically deleted all the photos ( honestly, you folks should have backed up using iTunes! ) and it no longer gives error code c0000005, but if it still does, you’ll have to set compatibility to Windows 95.
Stability and performance update available for Microsoft Office 2010 Beta

The update also provides some fixes for Word 2010 beta ( both 32 and 64 bit editions ) as well as stability and performance improvements.
