@leoceoliveira My comment had a meaning and related to the subject. Ergo, it wasn't trolling. You simply did not understand the reason for putting a graphics card in the oven, so I pointed out how there was no hope that you would. Last time I checked, that's not trolling. In a situation where you had a broken graphics card, which has some worn souldering, and is otherwise in good condition, denying the effectiveness of this tactic is only draining your pool of options. You fool.

Leeroy Jenkins nli commented on 09 Jul 2013

I recommend that they use their skills in video to make another type of web based media. The use of typography is nice, and the music is funny. The content is very mediocre, if your goal is to make life easier you're countering it. Over all presentation from a professional perspective, I would consider a different theme other than this. Everybody needs to get Schooled

MattHappy commented on 10 Jan 2012

@leoceoliveira Excuse me dear sir, it appears there is little or no hope remaining on your person. Could you be so obliged as to brain yourself with a large kettle or brick? Thank you kindly. -tips hat- I'll be off now. Until next time!

Use a screwhook to open a bottle of wine - make sure the screwhook is longer than the cork and it helps if it is plastic coated.

How to Jailbreak iOS 5.1.1

This video demonstrates how to jailbreak your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS 5.1.1 using the Absynthe method. Music is "Gypsy Jazz" by Adrian ...

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

Oh gotcha. I can tell you a trick that works for me since I manage all my company's phones with at&t when I want them unlocked. Some of my employees go overseas and like to use local SIM cards, cause its cheaper. So I call and tell them I need them unlocked because they are going to another country. Then they unlock it for me without any issues.

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

Yeah, it could I suppose, if you unplugged it during a certain part of the jailbreak. If you just leave it plugged up and alone, nothing should happen to it. Make sure you are updated to the most recent version of iOS before though.

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

No. If it was jailbroken and you go to itunes to update it, it will restore it back. Thats how I brought my iPhone 4 back to normal. Just plug it up, click update/restore, and it will bring it back from the jailbroken state.

UWish Productions commented on 27 May 2012

Which build of iOS 5.1.1 do you have? I read that Apple released a new build and may have patched it. If you have 9B208, thats the new build that apple released. The jailbreak worked fine for build 9B206 of 5.1.1

UWish Productions commented on 25 May 2012

If you like the ability to customize pretty much anything on the device, its really worth it, as there are apps you can install to customize everything that Apple may not have added to their iOS yet.

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

No. Just back it up before you do and you will be good to go. I did it on my iPad 3 and all my settings were still there, as well as apps, when it finished the jailbreak.

UWish Productions commented on 25 May 2012

I was able to download an app from the Apple Store on my jailbroken 3rd Gen iPad, so I think you wont have any issues there with updates to existing ones and so forth.

Hamed Obaid commented on 12 Jun 2012

My iphone is 5.0.1 and i jailbreak it Q1 : how to save the cydia apps and the apps i download it from installuos when i update my iphone to 5.1.1 ??

Who is the artist for that Mario Bros 2 cover???? I love it! I hillbilly BlueGrass toetappin teatotalin love it. Please let me know

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

Yes. Check out the video on my channel. I just did it with the new iPad without any issues and it kept all my settings and apps.

Rami Serhan commented on 25 May 2012

silly question, after you jailbreak can you still access AppStore to download apps or is that handled through cydia exclusively

Kevin Wang commented on 26 May 2012

Yeah that's my scenario because I'm in Europe right now and trying to use a cheaper sim card. I'll try that tomorrow!

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

Which carrier do you have? I heard that if you have at&t, you could just call them to have them unlock it for you.

FoxHotelHabboRetro commented on 10 Dec 2012

Should I do this now or wait until I get a new phone next year and jailbreak this one after I get my new one?

That "Gypsy Jazz" sounds a lot like a jazzy cover of Super Mario Bros. 2 Main Theme. watch?v=j9s4fuOL3FM

UWish Productions commented on 06 Jun 2012

No, watch my video and you can see that I retained everything I had on my iPad 3 once I jailbroke it.

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

Yes. If you want to go back from the jailbreak, just update it in itunes and it will revert back.

UWish Productions commented on 26 May 2012

No. Check out the video on my channel. It will keep all your settings and apps when you do this.

Stephan Langeveld commented on 25 May 2012

can someone tell me what you can do with your phone after you jail breaked it ?? Im a noob xD

r4sk3n commented on 26 May 2012

Can my phone break somehow by jailbreaking it? Like somekind of hardware irreversible thing?

UWish Productions commented on 25 May 2012

Yes, as long as its running version 5.1.1, so check the version first before attempting.

FlowerPotMM commented on 26 May 2012

you mean restore, if it was already jailbroken and you updated wouldent it just brick?

phoenixgate789 commented on 18 Jun 2012

wait whats the absynthe method? do i have to download it or what to my computer?

Unfortunately I can't because i'm not done with my two year contract yet.

Dave Harrison commented on 26 May 2012

Not everybody wants/owns an iproduct. Why so many videos about iproducts?

I tried to install and run the free version of granola but i can't . Maybe i do something wrong :-( I think it is werry interesting to have a program for pc or laptop which to set how much from your cpu, video card or ram to use, to save energy and so you can have actually two pc's or notebooks in one. Becouse if you wont just to search on the internet you can use just 1.6 ghz from 2.5ghz cpu, minimum grafics or ram memory etc.. Dose something like this exist ??? Thank's !

@elgransr I dunno. =/ They release some kind of chemical, I tried linking to it but you know youtube. lol I've seen articles blaming office lights (those long round ones) for so many people wearing glasses, that and people tend not to blink as much as they should when staring at computer screens. Anyways, I stick to the classic light bulb, it's a bit more expensive in the long run, but I don't want cancer or any more eye surgery. :)

For a great, free & USB ejector, Google "USB disk ejector". Just one click on the icon and your USB will be ready to remove (which makes it a little less hassle, for those of us who are lazy ejectors!).

is there an untethered jailbreak for ios 5? i have 3gs, and currently in stone age using 3.1.2, would luv to upgrade to 5.0, but i need a step by step guide to help me make this possible on my own, whats the difference between the 2 ios, i.e. 5.0 and 5.0.1? which 1 should i update to? ur help will be highly appreciated.Thank u

bj65481 commented on 15 Jan 2012

@123boredvideos the difference between an untethered and tethered jailbreak is when it is untethered you don't have to plug in to your computer every time after you restart or turn off your springboard ( your iPod) tethered you DO have to plug into a computer every time. The best one to do is untethered

ok i have a question if i have a iphone 4 on a contracked if i jailbreak it does it mess with the contracked and i heard the worrenty would be off if u jailbreak it. but if i remove the jailbreak would i get my worrenty back?some one plz help

Oscar Ruelas commented on 18 Jan 2012

@georgeskevo as far as I know tethered means every time you turn off your idevice you would need to turn it on with your computer only. meanwhile untethered means you can turn it on & off without a problem.

sxylatina214 commented on 13 Jan 2012

@5dwolf22 the moment you jailbreak your iphone the warranty on the phone is void. even if you remove the jailbreak the apple store has a way to know if the phone has been tampered with. hope this helps :)
