Happy New Year

Well I played a $3-$6 cash game with $50 at Soboba Casino. The play was a wash, but I was solid until Soboba put $100 in the pot in addition to our own blinds and bets.

To my credit I held a K4 unsuited paired a 4 on the flop, the turn and the river K 4 J J 3

With at least a hand (a pair of 4) I stayed in, with 2 other players, but in the end they split the total pot of over $250 ($125 per participant), I got none of it.

My game went downhill from there, I busted out with a pair of A with my AQ suited clubs to a set of 8 8 8.

With RC30, root access via telnetd is blocked

Unjailbroke my G1, with the RC30 update. So no bad guys can slip in through Telnet. I would rather have access to root going through the device itself via the su command, not though a glitch in Android.

access to root on the G1

Well the G1 has been rooted, access via Telnet from my Powerbook G4 to the coorisponding telnetd activated on the G1 via a neat little application named pTerminal.

Here is the lowdown, I must warn everybody, root is "hidden" for a reason so be carefull and don't make *any* modifications that could break the G1 and leave you with a $100/month paper weight.

PTerminal is available for download from the Android Market and can apparently be used to start a telnet connection on your G1 which can then be accessed from your PC - giving you root access to the device.

According to my sources, the instructions are as follows:

1. Turn on your phone’s WiFi. This gives your phone an IP you can reach it at.
2. Get to a command prompt on your device by using the PTerminal application from the Android Market. (adb shell does not seem to work with these instructions, telnetd does not start up)
3. cd system
4. cd bin
5. telnetd
6. netstat (get your phones IP), for some reason this did not work for me so I got the IP address from my settings Icon>Wireless controls>Wi-Fi settings
   
7. telnet into your phone’s IP from your computer
   
8. you now have root!

Whether a new ‘over the air’ update fixes this potential bug remains to be seen, but it might be a good idea to disable Over The Air updates if you decide to test this method.

5 worst things about G1

5 worst things about G1:

1
I don't care what anybody says the gPhone is Google's Beta phone, and the consumers are its Beta testers, fortunately the typical consumer of this type of device is more likely to fix its bugs than not. The iPhone, alternatively came out with a well crafted hardware device out the gate and has had time to mature and flesh itself out and keep the Beta testing to the Apple experts and its price point testing to the consumers.


2
Lacks applications, not really the fault of the gPhone, its just hard to develop for a hardware platform that is emulated and not real. The applications it does have need to be debugged better and should be screened for malicious wares since it is a free for all marketplace. This is where Apple's Market tariff of 30% could be arguable as justified, but with the "I am Rich" application slipping past their QA guard or the fire-walling of interesting, but competing, applications destroys the investment value of the 30% tax.

Battery Life sucks, but to the HTC's credit the battery is interchangeable. Thank you Apple for making it easier for us to make better decisions concerning non-removable, proprietary changing of lithium Ion batteries. At least its good to know that HTC thinks we have enough brains to swap out batteries by our selves. Battery life can be improved.

I have heard of the G1 has a lack of modem tethering and the 1gb cap, but I think I heard this was the ISP T-Mobile's call, while it this is not bad for the Android environment as it is fully capable of being programmed to allow tethering, etc. But when you deal with the ISP, (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) T-Mobile seems the best current choice since I passed their credit check with my FICO score in the low 600's and AT&T wanted some ridicules deposit to hold in their coffers for a "limited time" to prove my worthiness to their snobby iPhone "bitch plan". To AT&T I middle finger salute your offer and go with the German firm, T-Mobile.

I can't say I like the contract for 2 years and a $200 per line early termination "fee", but when you choosing between the lesser of two evils, at least currently until the networking options are sorted out, that is the current price of doing business.

Remote removal of code by Google, yeah its open. Why this would be a bad thing for the Gods are the same reason that makes it a good thing for the mere mortals. It levels the playing field, Now its a developers race. Gentlemen, start your Sdk/Eclipse engines? The real question is can *you* harden this open box of Pandora before anybody else does this for you.

iPhone Hacks, Quake 3 ( gPhone, the race is on )
