Urbanix was removed from the EU Stores


That was fast!

I am getting a growing number of reports that following the announce of Total_Noob’s HEN a few hours ago, the game Urbanix, which has an exploit allowing people to run his PSP Custom Firmware on the Vita, was removed from the EU PSN stores. People are reporting that the game was also removed from their download list. I expect the same will happen to the other locales (US, JP, etc…) within a few hours.

If you have the game installed on your console (US, EU, JP,…), great for you, don’t touch anything and make a backup using Open CMA.

If you have one of the previous VHBL exploits, it is possible the kernel exploit will get backported to your game exploit at some point, so if you are interested in that Kernel exploit the idea for you is to wait and see (and to not update your firmware).

If you are lucky enough to be able to still buy the game on the US or JP store or whatever, and want this exploit, do it now. Not in a few hours, not after your lunch break, but now.

If you are in none of the situations above, you probably missed a good and rare opportunity… put the following note on your fridge: “check wololo.net more regularly in the future”… People who check this site daily knew about this 3 days ago. People who can read between the lines knew about this 3 months ago.

The game was really pulled fast. It is not clear if this is because of the poor planning of the whole release (exploit initially leaked without a proper ninja release, then CFW announced in the middle of Sony’s working hours), or if Sony reacted faster because a Kernel exploit is involved. We will probably never know.

I am quite sure we’ll have lots of news to share about this in the days to come: compatibility with previous usermode exploits, tutorials, probably a few improvements are also to be expected from TN himself…

So this is basically / Asi que esto es basicamente... [SPANISH TEXT]

Si amigos, basicamente la idea del blog fue introducir a todos en el mundo de la tecnologia y hacer que esta no fuera tan "compleja" o "complicada" para todos. Ultimamente no hago reviews propios, ya que me tomo la molestia de elegir buenas noticias (que considero) para su placer informativo (bueno, las visitas me dicen que lo estoy haciendo bien) Pero, y si algun dia llegase a terminar todo? Regalar el dominio? Vender el blog? Nah, muchas veces me lo he preguntado pero... por algo senti el deseo de escribirles, desde mi misma mano y tecla, porque esto es lo que me apasiona: la tecnologia, la programacion, el llevar todo niveles superiores, exponenciar mi capacidad de analisis. De esto se trata todo, esto es basicamente el alma del blog: tecnologia. Actualmente me encuentro en otra ciudad, desde hace ya 1 mes. Las cosas han estado normales, pues dentro de lo que alguien podria definir de "normal". Gracias a Dios no me hace falta lo basico, desafortunad...

Child-friendly Galaxy Tab 3 Kids listed in Korean brochure

We're no experts in Korean back-to-school literature, but it looks as if one retailer has tipped Samsung's plans a little early. If the documents above are legitimate, then the company will launch a kiddie-focused Galaxy Tab in short order. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is said to be an 8.5-inch slate with a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, a 1,024 x 600 WSVGA display, 8GB storage, 1GB RAM and Jelly Bean. The company has also seen fit to include 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, a microSD card slot (no word on capacity) and a 4,000mAh battery. One thing that lends weight to the listing is that the device's model number is SM-T2105, which evleaks tersely described as a "Galaxy Tab for children" a month ago. There's more pictures over at the source, but not a single spec saying that this new device is resistant to jam-smeared fingers. Source: ENGADGET

The Ford Fiesta 2011 Was the Budget Hacker’s Dream (And No One Noticed)

The Ford Fiesta 2011 Was the Budget Hacker’s Dream (And No One Noticed) If you ever drove a Ford Fiesta 2011 SE and felt like it had hidden potential, you weren’t wrong — it was a software-defined vehicle before that was even a buzzword . While most saw it as a humble economy car, tinkerers and enthusiasts quickly discovered that the Fiesta was actually modular, reprogrammable, and surprisingly future-proof . With the right tools (and a bit of nerve), you could unlock features typically reserved for higher trims, all with minor hardware tweaks and some clever software work. Here’s a deep dive into the hidden arsenal of the 2011 Fiesta — and why it deserves a cult status among modders. The Secret Weapon: Shared Architecture Ford built the Fiesta using a highly modular electronic architecture . Many trims — from the base SE to the Titanium — shared the same PCM, wiring harnesses, and core modules . That meant you could: Add hardware from higher trims (like steering wheel...
