Ask the Commenters Roundup [Hive Mind] Posted: 17 Oct 2010 02:30 PM PDT What's the best way to get my blog on the map? I didn't sync my apps with iTunes, but my iPod died. Can I get purchased apps back? Is there a way I can send facebook messages from the desktop? Is there a place online that sells different varieties of just generic AC adapters? I inherit a lot of old tech without AC plugs. Are the extended warranties offered by some credit cards worth it? How do you go about finding good community service or charity activities to do in a small town? Anyone have a good way of externally documenting the files in a folder? More »

Limera1n and Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreaks now available for Mac, Linux Posted: 17 Oct 2010 02:05 PM PDT We thought it was a wee bit ridiculous that Geohot's original iOS 4.1 jailbreak only worked on Windows, but that's a thing of the past now -- limera1n now supports Mac as well, and the Chronic Dev Team's greenpois0n variant can purportedly free your device from Apple shackles from any of OS X, Linux or Windows. Mind you, there's still no working carrier unlock for iOS 4.1, so be sure to back up your baseband and don't expect to be making calls on T-Mobile USA -- and remember kids, there are always risks to playing chicken with the Apple firmware train.

Small Startup Prevails In Server Cooling 'Chill Off' Posted: 17 Oct 2010 02:00 PM PDT miller60 writes "A small startup has shown exceptional energy efficiency in a data center 'chill off' comparing server cooling technologies. Clustered Systems posted the best numbers in the 18-month vendor evaluation sponsored by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. The Menlo Park, Calif. company built a prototype server that uses no fans and cools processors with a cold plate with tubing filled with liquid coolant. The testing accidentally highlighted the opportunity for additional energy savings, when the Clustered Systems unit continued to operate during a cooling failure that raised the chiller plant water temperature from 44 to 78 degrees F."
