by Joseph L. Flatley Nov 3rd 2009 @ 12:23PM

There's no stopping the eternal tug-of-war between the powers that be and the hackers that will, and for the time being it looks like things are back in the hands of the hackers. As of noon today giddy jailbreakers can take the next step and go full-on with blacksn0w, the unlock for the latest 05.11.07 baseband (with tethering enabled to boot). And if that weren't enough, it looks like blackra1n RC3 is alive as well, with Mac and Windows support. What are you waiting for? Hit the read link to get started, if that's your thing. And the battle for the iPhone's immortal soul continues...

Beware! Just tried it and my 3GS is still neglecting to catch a signal. Worked immediately before and have rebooted 5-6 times. I love the phone but I'm tired of constantly having to jailbreak each upgrade and wish for the best. Any ideas?

Wow, Jobs is such an arrogant assh*le!!! Firmware upgrade after firmware upgrade and still this bloke doesn't get it. Hackers will hack until they get the phone THEY paid for. He (Jobs) insists that YOU will use this phone the way HE wants you to.... Make a change?? Actually consider what millions of customers out there want??? F@#k noooo!!! In a world where Linux and Android is proliferating everywhere, I'm so glad I will NEVER use this piece of Socialist hardware.
