Apple celebrates Mac’s 30th anniversary with new video shot entirely on iPhone 5s, edited on Mac

OK, Apple didn't exactly return to Super Bowl with a 30th Mac anniversary ad like advertising legend Lee Clow a week ago hinted it would, but that doesn't mean the company is letting the Super Bowl ad blitz mute its message.

Not only did Apple celebrate the occasion by letting ABC News and MacWorld interview CEO Tim Cook, it also posted an interactive Mac timeline on Apple.com and a new ‘Happy Birthday, Mac’ section on the Mac App Store, dressed up retail stores' window displays in Mac-themed graphics and hung commemorative posters up on the walls of its Cupertino HQ.

The company even hid a custom font on its servers featuring gorgeous Mac model icons. And now, Apple has posted a new video on its homepage dedicated to the 30 years of Mac innovation. The 125-second clip was shot entirely on iPhones and edited on Macs, have a look at it right below the fold and meet us in comments...

Newly discovered iBoot exploit makes A5(X) devices jailbreakable for life

"So looks like all my A5(X) devices are fully untethered and jailbroken for life now. :)" iH8sn0w, the developer behind Sn0wBreeze and other jailbreak apps, tweeted this afternoon. The comment has caused quite a bit of excitement, as we haven't seen anything like this in jailbreaking since LimeRa1n.

iH8sn0w says he doesn't have a bootrom exploit though, but rather a "powerful iBoot exploit." And although it doesn't look like he's going to do anything with it right now in terms of a public release, it sounds like he'll be able to use the exploit in future jailbreaks, and to find similar bugs in A6/A7 chips...
