Designer Indian Saree Inspired by Google Search
Famous Indian fashion designer, Satya Paul, is inspired by Google and came up with an idea of Google Saree. (Actually, nothing to do with technology or what Google does, but still this is some interesting piece of art) (What is Saree?, definition of sari/saree) In fact Google is written as “Oogle” on saree (replacing the “G” in the Google logo with “O”) maybe to avoid any brand name issues with the search company—Google. Here is the picture of fashion model wearing Saree but frankly specking she is not wearing it properly as her foot is visible when she is walking. It’s good effort though but not executed very well.
Anyway, are you feeling luck?

NJ teen unlocks iPhone from AT&T network
George Hotz of Glen Rock, N.J., spent his last summer before college figuring out how to “unlock” the iPhone, freeing it from being restricted to a single carrier, AT&T Inc. He explained freedom steps on his iphone unlocking blog. He also put this phone on sale on ebay, as of now bid is up 10,000 and still 6 more days to go.
However, I am sure, soon Mr. Hotz will get a sweet letter from lawyer of Apple or ATT or both. But whatever he did is good. Freedom (of iphone) is good for everybody.
His story can be read here and here
Due to his unlocking of the iPhone, Mr. Hotz has received considerable attention in mainstream media. To date, his major network appearances and news coverage include interviews on the Today Show, CNN, NBC, CBS, G4, ABC CNBC, and articles in several magazines, newspapers, and websites, including Forbes, BBC and CNN and Technology Madness.com.
Mr. George Hotz, according to the Forbes article on his breaking of the iPhone Lock, hopes to go into neuroscience, and he is quoted calling it his famous line- “hacking the brain!” - via this
From his listing on ebay:
This phone is ready to work with any SIM card. I patched out activation, so you can just pop in the sim and go. This is the only iPhone on ebay right now that can claim that. The wires for the testpoint are taped to the battery inside the phone. They are easy to access after you open the phone. The modem already has the 3.14 firmware. Be aware that an update will reset this phone to being locked, but I left all the files required for unlocking on the phone. You will always be able to reunlock this phone. The soldering on the testpoint is very well done and epoxied in place.
I’m not just including the iPhone in the auction. You’ll get
- The 4GB iPhone, signed by geohot, with no damage at all
- The world first serial dock, the one the serial interface was discovered on
- And the official unlock switch from the blog.
Soon, you will be able to buy unlocked iPhones everywhere, in fact probably before this auction ends. But this is the one that started it all. The one unlocked while the steps were posted live on the blog. This isn’t just an unlocked iPhone, this is a piece of history.
I’m starting the bidding at $540, the price of the phone+the level convertor.
Good luck Mr. George Hotz!
