AT&T's impotent network—and good ol' fashioned greed make it do douchey things sometimes, like lock down SlingPlayer and Skype for the iPhone. But you can unlock their true 3G powers.

Step 1: Free Your Phone
There are lots of reasons to jailbreak your phone. Skype and SlingPlayer over 3G is just one of them. Luckily, we've got a comprehensive guide to easily jailbreak your iPhone 3G (or iPod touch). Follow it.

Step 2: Trick Your Phone
Welcome back! If you're just interested in using Skype, SlingPlayer and Fring's VoIP over 3G we're already at the end—search for Tricker Three3G in Cydia, install it, and you're good to go. SlingPlayer, Skype and Fring will think they're running on Wi-Fi, no matter what connection you're on. Right now, Tricker Three3G only fools those three apps. There's a more involved process if you want to fool other apps too.

Step 2b: The Long Way
In Cydia, the app you want to search for and install is VoIPover3G, which tricks any app into thinking a 3G connection is actually Wi-Fi. You also need to grab OpenSSH or DiskAid and the latest version of MobileSubstrate. From there, you have to tap into phone and install some custom text files for every app that you want VoIPover3G to trick. But you do have the power to trick any app with it, unlike Tricker ThreeG. If you're completely new to the game, I'd start with this guide to getting Skype to work over 3G and then just substitute the final steps for the relevant Sling parts from this guide. They're laid out pretty well, so fairly easy to follow. [iHackintosh, iPhone Download Blog]

Pirate Bay defendant Peter Sunde Kolmissoppi is having a rough week. As if the looming threat of a year in jail and a large fine weren't enough to give anyone a permanent case of "the Mondays," Kolmisoppi had his bag stolen at a conference. Luckily, he got it back. "Money was still there, my PC was still there," he tweeted. "Things missing: Underwear and a tshirt. Pervert thief? Fun!"

Good thing the money came back, too, since Kolmisoppi and his merry band now find themselves the recipients of debt collection letters from the wonderfully named Kronofogdemyndigheten. This government agency operates like a national cash collector, grabbing not just money owed the government, but also helping private citizens and businesses collect money owed to them.

Eminem album files leaked online

Nine Inch Nails are probably one of the most important music groups in the world, currently, simply because they’re paving a new way of treating their fans and understanding how the internet works and how it can be used to your advantage.

After giving away (or selling at really cheap prices) several of their latest albums, they’ve continued to surprise fans with freebies. In a blog post on the official band web site, band leader Trent Reznor says that someone “somehow managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour“, and provides a link to the footage.

Twitter resisted Facebook's overtures, in part because it questioned the valuation attached to Zuckerberg's social-networking site, which was based on the $240 million Microsoft paid for a 1.6 per cent stake in the company last year, when the stock market was riding high and the credit crunch was but a twinkle in Gordon Brown's eye.

But, perhaps more significantly, Twitter's founders also felt they had some unfinished business to attend to with the site; that its full potential as a communication platform – and a money-making enterprise – was yet to be realised.

Twitter has enjoyed an explosive rate of growth in the last year, with the registered number of users now topping six million, a 600 per cent increase in just 12 months.
