IMEI Unlock: The Permanent iPhone unlock solution just got cheaper
The iPhone IMEI unlock solution is basically a permanent factory unlock for the iPhone.
Unlockaniphone.org confirmed today that after extensive testing they have released their IMEI unlocking service to the public.
They have been in the iPhone unlocking business since 2007 and lately , mainly focused on selling Gevey sim imposers and offering iPhone repair services to their customers.
In search to find a solution for the many customers with iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 with latest baseband ( non supported by Gevey sim) they started testing with IMEI unlocks.
In the beginning being very skeptical about this, we soon learned that these unlocks work flawlessly.
The process is extremely simple: The user submits his iPhone’s IMEI number at the site and selects the original carrier of the iPhone.
After 1-4 days the user then receives an Email with the message that the iPhone is unlocked. Permanently.
You then simply connect the iPhone to iTunes and you will see a message popup saying “Congratulations – Your iPhone is Unlocked”.
You can now use any Carrier sim in the iPhone, and enjoy the permanent unlock.
The main benefit of unlocking via IMEI is that users do not have to worry about future iOS updates: The unlock is permanent regardless of iOS version, baseband or model.
It will work worldwide, and there is no hassle with switching SIM imposers or non working unlocks after ( accidental) iOS upgrades. The downside of the IMEI unlocks is the price ( price varies from $40.00-$225.00 depending on the network and country) Also the unlock is not instant. The IMEI’s need to be processed and depending on the network it can take 2-6 days before the iPhone is unlocked.
The unlock for AT&T is so popular that they regularly disable the order form for IMEI unlocks. Currently for AT&T there is a waiting line of over 15 days, so the order form for AT&T is closed for now.
Another “problem” with the IMEI unlocks is that not all networks are available. New networks are being added regularly, but as of yet its not possible to unlock all networks.
The IMEI unlock is a great solution for everyone who wants to unlock his iPhone without hassle, or needs to unlock his iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1, as there currently is no other unlock available for this model.

So now we’ve caught Paddy the Leprechaun…. Wait… Wheres the game where we caught him at???
Anyways, Leapin’ Leprechaun is a fun little game, the goal is to flick your captured friend so he can retrieve his gold for you. Think of the game like the final Bowser fight in Yoshi’s Island, except your throwing a little Irish fellow and the pots of gold aren’t fighting back :3
To me it looks like you have to fling Paddy from different points on his body, though I’m not entirely sure. The voice overs are amazingly done, but they will get to you if you let them 
Overall the game is a nice buy for $0.99 which should at least entertain your kids for a couple days. (well worth the price right?)
Leapin’ Leprechaun ($.099)

Review: Goblin Legion HD for iPad
Goblin Legion HD is a FREE iPad application developed by Guangxi Nanning Qiwang Computer Ltd. It is a RTS game similar to Command and Conquer and Civilization. The object of the game is to build up your empire and attack and defend against other online players. The graphics, animations, and artwork are very well done. This game will definitely keep you occupied for hours as there is so much you can do. You get to build all sorts of buildings to create your custom empire.
Once you are satisfied with your empire and its defense you can move on an attack other players and try and steal some of their resources. The controls are very simple and the more you play the game the easier it gets. You will understand what you need to build and what you need to upgrade to advance your rank. This game is an Online game only. That means you have to be connected to the internet to play.
Although the game is FREE you are going to want to buy gold which can be used to speed up the game, otherwise you will be just waiting for things to build and upgrade. Overall the game is very well done and fun to play. The waiting game gets you to keep coming back to the game and leveling up.
