New Falcon for Android users locked out as app gets squeezed by Twitter token limits
Author: Tyler Evans
Popular Android Twitter customer Falcon is the most recent to contravene of Twitter’s app stipulations. Previously today, Falcon’s developers tweeted that it had struck the ceiling of 100,000 individual tokens that Twitter’s API enables for lots of third-party clients. That means that while people could still buy the app, new individuals won’t be able to log in. To make things even worse, lacking tokens does not necessarily imply 100,000 individuals paid for Falcon. It’s noted on the Play Store as having in between 10,000 and 50,000 installs, however extra tokens could be utilized up by things like piracy.

Pet Tortoise Found Alive In Locked Storage After 30 Years
Author: Janet Odell
Seen here looking pissed as hell, Manuela the red-footed tortoise reluctantly poses for a picture after having gone missing from the Almeida family residence in 1982. Turns out they’d just accidentally locked her in a storage room on the second story of their house for the last 30 years! That, wow, that’s just terrible caretaking. Even most pet rocks wouldn’t survive that.
…it seems Manuela was hanging out for 30 years in the upstairs storeroom where Leonel Almeida, the father, kept all sorts of old junk he hadn’t gotten around to fixing up.
When Leonel died earlier this month, Leandro and his siblings decided to clean out the storeroom, and that’s how Manuela came to be by the curb.
According to veterinary scientist Jeferson Pires, tortoises like Manuela are remarkably resilient creatures, and can survive two to three years without eating anything. While they typically subsist on an omnivore’s diet in the wild, the Almeidas think Manuela got by on termites.
Granted I didn’t know some tortoises can go two or three years without eating anything, but what about drinking? Was there some water supply in the room? Did the family never hear her crawling around up there and open the room to check for ghosts? When reached for comment, Manuela the tortoise had this to say, “F*** you guys, let me outside.”
Thanks to Hornito, who found his missing hamster after eight years. Wait — I thought hamsters only live like two? Oh — oooooh, I’m sorry man.

Rogue radio station caused keyless entry systems to fail, left car owners locked out
Author: Nancy Kennedy
For months, frustrated car owners just couldn’t explain it. As the Sun Sentinel explains, parking anywhere in the vicinity of the Hollywood Police Department would render their vehicle’s keyless entry system useless. As more and more cars were towed away thanks to the baffling phenomenon, it was discovered that functionality returned once cars were a safe distance away from the police station. Rumors swirled as to what the cause could be, with one popular theory attributing the interference to a powerful antenna owned by police.
Authorities finally solved the mystery, however: beginning in August, a rogue radio station had been operating from the roof of a building just one block away from police headquarters. Aside from broadcasting…

Atrix HD continues locked bootloader tradition, may be set free… eventually
Author: Jenny Zhao
Motorola’s record on the whole smartphone bootloader thing is a tad spotty. The world has been promised unlocked bootloaders and, sometimes, the manufacturer has delivered. After the phones have already been on the market for some time, of course. Continuing that trend, will be the recently revealed Atrix HD. The 4.5-inch AT&T-bound phone will follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, the Atrix 4G and Atrix 2, by shipping without the ability to touch the kernel. Of course, that means that not only are custom kernels out the window, but so are custom ROMs as a whole. There is some good news, however. Moto indicated via its Twitter account that an unlock tool would be coming, saying “our goal is still to provide a way to unlock the bootloaders on our devices to those who wish to do so, more details to come.” So, that’s gotta be worth something.

Verizon blames Samsung for locked bootloader in Galaxy S III
Author: Matthew Baker
Verizon cleared up its posture on securing the bootloaders in phones utilizing its network earlier this year. In short: it recommends OEMs to do so, to keep its network humming along as Big Red feels it should. Well, it appears that VZW has actually changed that posture somewhat, as it’s laid blame for the Galaxy S III’s closed bootloader squarely at Samsung’s feet, claiming that it’s locked “per the Maker.” Now, that doesn’t explicitly state that VZW had no part to play in denying users access, but it certainly appears like this is a game of PR pass the dollar to us. Of course, as we reported earlier, there’s a workaround to be had by rooting the GSIII, which disclosed a vulnerability permitting non-stock ROMs to be flashed to the device. But it’s only a partial workaround, as the kernel’s encrypted and implementing a full custom ROM experience is neither for the unskilled nor the faint of heart. We reached out to both Verizon and Samsung for opinion on the matter, but have yet to hear back. While you hang around for official word, feel cost-free to look at the ongoing chat at the source link below.

Verizon Galaxy S III has locked bootloader (but it’s been rooted anyway)
Author: Margo Tipton
Based on Samsung’s hacker-friendly track record, you ‘d typically expect one of it smartphones to come with an opened bootloader, making it simple to update or modify with unofficial ROMs. That’s not the instance with Verizon’s imminent version of the Galaxy S III, nonetheless. As the folk at XDA know just too well, this specific iteration of Sammy’s flagship comes with a sealed bootloader, which makes it resistant (though not impervious) to hackery.
Of course, Sammy has absolutely nothing to obtain from snubbing the modding community in this way, so it stands to reason that VZW pushed the Korean producer to supply them with a secured bootloader– in spite of the fact that all some other versions have actually been left open. We’ve reached out to Big Red for opinion, however in the meantime an ingenious soul over at Rootzwiki claims they have actually already discovered a workaround for root access. (At this point, however, we might better offer our standard disclaimer: be really cautious prior to you poke around in there, since going up against a secured bootloader can be dangerous. The evident protection of modern-day life is simply a shallow skin atop an ocean of blood, guts and bricked tools.)

Author: Trixi Anderson
All sorts of Android manufacturers have had to answer for the locked bootloaders in their devices, and now we’ve gotten a bit of insight into Verizon’s view of the subject. It seems Big Red has responded to a formal complaint one customer filed with the FCC for the carrier’s policy of allowing handsets with locked bootloaders on its network. Apparently, open bootloaders would allow users to make changes to their phones and use software that “could negatively impact how the phone connects with the network” and “the wireless experience for other customers.” So, there you have it folks, Verizon encourages OEMs to lock down handsets to provide you with a better experience and top-notch customer service. Head on down to the source link to get a gander at the letter, and feel free to sound off on Verizon’s consumer-friendly stance in the comments below.

Voluntary TV spectrum auction on tap with approval nearly locked in Congress
Author: Jenny Zhao
The House passed an extension of the payroll tax cut this morning after representatives from both sides of the chamber hammered out a deal earlier this week; a Senate vote is planned for this afternoon, and early indications are that it’ll pass. That may not seem like an interesting development for members of the wireless community, but approval of the voluntary auction of spectrum currently reserved for television broadcasts — a contentious issue over the past couple years — is attached to the bill, and virtually every stakeholder in the wireless community (including the FCC) is in favor of the auction. The National Association of Broadcasters, which represents television stations that currently own the licenses, had been a key…
