US government legalizes iPhone ‘jailbreaking,’ unlocking
And I quote from AppleInsider;
The U.S. government on Monday announced new rules that make it officially legal for iPhone owners to "jailbreak" their device and run unauthorized third-party applications. In addition, it is now acceptable to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.
According to The Associated Press, the government approved a handful of new exemptions to a federal law that prevents the circumvention of technical measure that prevent users from accessing and modifying copyrighted works. The report noted that every three years, the Library of Congress' Copyright Office authorizes exemptions to ensure existing law does not prevent non-infringing use of copyrighted material.

Another weekend of Brosella, starting today. Facebook and Last.fm page are up.
Be sure to check out my free FON WiFi coverage and drop some feedback. ;)
iRail station bugs
Following stations are giving a problem:
- Aalst,
- Asse,
- Brugge,
- Mechelen
Issue: All those stations give an additional intermediate page with the question to confirm your station choice.
Old solution: could be by-passed by adding “[B]” to the end of every station name but this has recently changed and is no longer working.
Current solution: none yet. Working with cURL to check the POST data.
Report additional broken stations to bugs@irail.be please.
iRail is back
After careful consideration with my lawyer Ywein Van den Brande, I have decided to put iRail back online.
The copy of the letter to the NMBS/SNCB can be viewed here.
Minor modifications have been made to make it work correctly again with the new route planner of the NMBS/SNCB (changelog); and I’ll keep working on it to optimise it (next on the todo list is a better results page). Also, feedback is always welcome… But mail me; not the NMBS/SNCB. ;)
