Fido’s famous EPP (Employee Price Plan) will again be offered this Friday. This is the plan that my wife and I have. I must say that it is the best plan available besides some of those crazy retention plans that some people get. I am not sure if it is coming back to Rogers as [...]

The Pwnage tool was updated to jailbreak firmware 2.0.2 (5c1). I’ve been wrestling with the decision on whether or not I should jailbreak it since the day I got it. So far the answer has always been no. There was one thing that was drawing me toward jailbreaking. It was Netshare.
