iOS 6 Jailbreak Could Be Broken With iOS 6.1.3 Update

The other day we heard that Apple has released iOS 6.1.3 Beta 2 to developers, the update is designed to fix the passcode bug found in iOS 6, and now it would appear that the update may actually break the evasi0n iOS 6 jailbreak.

The iOS 6.1.3 Beta 2 which was recently released to developers apparently patches one of the five exploits that were used in the iOS 6 Jailbreak, the exploit was a time zone bug.

iOS 6 Jailbreak

Apparently the evasi0n iOS 6 jailbreak needs all five exploits for the jailbreak to work, so it looks like the iOS 6.1.3 software update to break the evasi0n jailbreak, unless the team behind the software can find another option before iOS 6.1.3 is released.

There are no details as yet on exactly when Apple will release the final version of iOS 6.1.3, although considering that it fixes the passcode exploit that could give anyone access to your iPhone we suspect it will be sooner than later.

New Toyota Corolla expected to launch in 2014 in Pakistan -

We first reported that Indus Motors’ is working on towards assembling Toyota Fortuner locally and it is expected to launch in the first week of March 2013.

Although locally assembled Toyota Hilux was significantly cheaper then the imported one, however those who had the opportunity to drive both of the vehicles, imported and locally built were quite disappointed in the locally assembled one.

Indus Motors have been selling the Fortuner through importing for a little while now so the same comparison against locally built and imported one shall be made and given the quality reputation of local cars, we’ll not be the one to draw the swords first.

But in between the launch speculations and press releases, The Nation reports that Indus Motors is injecting more capital in its plant during the period of 2013-14 which will be 6 billion Pakistani Rupees and is mainly for the new model of Toyota Corolla expected next year.

i-mate reportedly working on an Intel-based, Windows 8 handset

The Dubai-based manufacturer i-mate might be planning a grand return to the smartphone scene after several years in the doldrums. According to a recent report, the company, which made a name for itself by selling HTC-made, Windows Mobile devices in the middle of last decade, is set to unveil an Intel Clover Trail based smartphone, which will boot Windows 8 Pro, not Windows Phone 8.

The smartphone will carry the name i-mate Intelegent. It is reportedly set to pack 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 4.7" display of unknown resolution. The most important trick up the i-mate Intelegent's sleeve will be the ability to offer full Windows 8 experience via an optional docking system. The latter will offer a 23" touch-enabled display, keyboard, mouse, and a wireless tablet with 10" 1080p display.

The price of the smartphone alone is said to be $750. Should you choose to go for the desktop station, prepare to fork out $1,600.

According to the CEO of i-mate, Mr. Jim Morrison, there's a factory in California ready to produce 10,000 units a week of the Intelegent. The CEO also told the Seattle Times that the i-mate Intelegent will be showcased during MWC.
