Optimal Prefetch, Vista

Well, when you install system the prefetch will be very very full of windows stuff. Like over 50-70 prefetch titles are from vista alone and I doubt anyone uses everything Microsoft design in their systems. So Basically getting this fixed would be easily done by deleting .pf Files (default: C:\Windows\prefetch)after sometime from Windows Vista Installation & usage. Windows will correct this issue when there is upcoming optimizes in Vista as in vista will run after some Idle period this tool rundll32.exe which collect and optimizes entire harddrive accordingly to layout.ini & prefecth (Order: boot files->Application Files-> rest of HDD by date modified).

After that tasks has runned 5 times (manual task launching commandline: rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks ) Vista also does another sort of optimize to system. It compresses almost all the system data you haven’t needed so far in vista and eventually system takes less space in your root harddrive.

Now about prefetch.. Superprefetch was as far I know designed for Software you use not for boot files to check why normal prefetch removes some application when it gets full and readds that application in the ‘\windows\prefetch’ folder. This is good if it would actually just work on applications….

Fully SIM Unlocked iPhones

It’s high noon, Apple and AT&T — we really hate to break it to you, but the jig is up. Last night the impossible was made possible: right in front of our very eyes we witnessed a full SIM unlock of our iPhone with a small piece of software. It’s all over, guys.

The iPhoneSIMfree.com team called us up to prove their claim that they cracked Apple’s iPhone SIM lock system, and prove it they did. (No, we don’t have a copy of the unlock software, so don’t even ask us, ok?) The six-man team has been working non-stop since launch day, and they’re officially the first to break Apple’s SIM locks on the iPhone. It’s done. Seriously. They wouldn’t tell us when and how they would release it to the public, but you can certainly bet that they’ll try to make a buck on their solution (and rightly so). We can hardly believe the iPhone’s finally been cracked. No, scratch that — we just can’t believe it took this long.
