In addition to the human drama on display – Obama leans forward intently, Clinton covers her mouth – we also know that both Clinton and Biden use HP notebooks. HP notebooks seem to surround the table; Clinton is definitely working on one, while Biden appears to have one in front of him, too.

Wagner James Au, who called our attention to this on Twitter, commented via Twitter: “Real life versus ’24′: When President monitors a counter-terrorist operation IRL, no one uses a Mac.”

oth Biden and Clinton appear to have different (possibly more secure?) models of HP notebooks than the laptop in the foreground. The foreground model could be an HP Elitebook 6930p, a 2008 business PC with the distinctive column of buttons on the right hand side of the keyboard. Later models in the Elitebook series appear to have tweaked the hinge colors a bit, however, which seems to rule those out.

Secretary Clinton also definitely is using an HP notebook, but apparently a different model. The keyboard is partially obscured by a photograph that the White House obscured for reasons of national security, we presume. And the coffee cup hides what could be double USB port bay, but it’s difficult to tell. It’s not inconceivable that Clinton could have asked for a thinner, lighter model to lug around to affairs of state.

Biden’s HP notebook is distinctive because of two prominently placed stickers on the lid. Does the yellow one say “Classified?” At the least, we’d say.

As for President Obama, he appears to be the person seated who doesn’t have a laptop in front of him – not even his prized BlackBerry.

Google just added Google Goggles for its iPhone mobile app. This application lets you use pictures taken with your mobile phone to search the web. It’s ideal for things that aren’t easy to describe in words or the places products which you dont know and want information. There’s no need to type or speak your query – all you have to do is open the app, snap a picture, and wait for your search results.
Google Goggles works better with certain types of queries. Try taking pictures of books & DVDs, landmarks, logos, contact info, artwork, businesses, products, barcodes, or text; it can recognize up to three items at a time. Currently, it’s not so good when taking pictures of animals, plants, cars, furniture, or apparel.
For the best results when taking pictures, hold your phone in “left landscape” mode. Google Goggles is available for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 devices only.

Apple recently relaxed its app store approval policy and now we are seeing many apps which were not allowed in the past or removed from the app store. One of the first app that appear after this new policy change was google voice but here is a shocking news for idevices owners, Apple just approved BitTorrent-based torrent managing app called IS Drive.

From the App’s official page:

This app allows you to check and manage downloads in your ImageShack Drive account. For downloaded videos, you can even view thumbnails.

IS Drive is available for download now at $4.99 from the App Store

Sn0wbreeze 2.0 was released earlier today. It brings support for a bunch of devices running on iOS 4.1. These include:

• iPod touch 1G (Must be jailbroken on any firmware version)
• iPod touch 2G (Non-MC Model, Must be jailbroken on any firmware, if not, then use iREB from here)
• iPod touch 2G (MC Model, must be on iOS 3.1.2. Does not need to be jailbroken on 3.1.2)
• iPod touch 3G (Must be previously jailbroken on 3.1.2)
• iPhone 2G
• iPhone 3G (Must be jailbroken on any firmware, if not, then use iREB from here)
• iPhone 3GS new bootrom (Must be previously jailbroken on 3.1.2)

• 

  Like PwnageTool for Mac, you can use Sn0wbreeze 2.0 on Windows to build custom firmware files without upgrading the baseband.

  Except for iPod touch 4G, Sn0wbreeze supports all previous generation of iPod touches, including iPod touch 3G and iPod touch 2G (MC Model). If your iPod touch meets the criteria listed above, then you can jailbreak it on iOS 4.1 using Sn0wbreeze 2.0.

  

  UPDATE 1: Sn0wbreeze 2.0.1 has been released which fixes iTunes Error 37 when restoring to custom iOS 4.1 firmware. The download link for Sn0wbreeze posted below has been updated for version 2.0.1.

On Wednesday, Apple (finally) released firmware 4.0.2, which patches the very large security holes exploited by @comex in the 2nd incarnation of jailbreakme.com.  The only problem is they outright abandoned iPhone2G and iPod Touch 1G users!  Even though Apple acknowledges in their security update the severity of these holes, they left iPhone2G and ipt1G owners high and dry — completely vulnerable to truly malicious variants of jailbreakme (these variants aren’t out yet, but they’re sure to come!).
Luckily for Apple, the Jailbreak community isn’t so callous. @saurik has been burning the midnight oil coding a Cydia package that will fix the holes for all devices and all firmware versions (even going back to version 2.x!).

At a whopping 579.3 MB for iOS 4.0.2, it does seem like there should be something more substantial in the update — proximity sensor fix anyone? — but if there is, Apple isn’t saying.

Kudos, however, for moving at what is for Apple security, lightning speed.

If you don’t care about the Jailbreakme.com, or care about potential malware exploits more, head on over to iTunes and start your download. If you notice anything else fixed or changed, let us know in comments!
