Follow the simple steps below in order to unlock it.

1. Remove the battery cover and battery, and insert your new SIM card on another provider.
2. Before re-fitting the battery, take note of the IMEI number located inside the back of the phone, under the battery.
3. Replace the battery, and the battery cover, then switch on your phone.
4. The phone will now request a code to unlock it.
5. Go to this calculator and put in your IMEI number and press “Submit Query”

Thanks to the guys over at Modaco for working out the algorithm and writing the calculator.

Ever wanted to create nice rounded corners on your webpages without having to write lots of elaborate code?

Want to freshen up the look of your website by changing those clunky square content boxes into neat rounded boxes?

Then why not take a look at the easy to use jQuery plugin from the Malsup Site

Download the plugin and put it in a directory of your choosing on your website, then let the magic begin. I’ll take you through a few simple steps to get the plugin up and running, then you can let your creativity do the rest!

Firstly, download the plugin, and add the code to your page in order to load the plugin:

<script src=”js/jquery.corner.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

Please note: you’ll need to use whatever path/filename you chose for the plugin – I put mine in a folder called js Once you have done this, we need to make the plugin run on our selected divs:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(“#content”).corner();
$(“#rightmenu”).corner();
});
</script>

This code would round the corner of the divs with an ID of “content” and “rightmenu”

If you wish to round a large amount of divs that are using class instead of id, then you would use:

$(".classname").corner();

Note the “.” which is the prefix for a css class.

The limitations of this great plugin don’t end there, far from it – You can change the radius of corners, set only top corners, or bottom corners to be rounded, change them to bevels or other weird and wonderful things, just take a look at the examples and see for yourself.

Many people don’t like the new design, favouring the old layout – This has had a knock on effect on the site’s traffic, as reported by Hitwise.

Reports show that since the end of August, Digg.com has lost almost 35% of its UK traffic, and over 25% of its US traffic.

If ever there was an example of how the “customer” or in this case, website visitor, is always right – this is it.

If you change your site and people don’t like it, remember, they may very well stop using it.

Users attempting to visit the site, used by over 500 million users worldwide, were greeted by a white page with a “DNS Error” message, instead of the usual website, used to keep in touch with friends, family, and strangers alike.

Facebook staff quickly posted a message over at their Twitter page @Facebook stating

Facebook may be slow or unavailable for some people because of site issues. We’re working to fix this quickly.

However, as of yet, no reason has been given for the downtime, and thousands upon thousands of angry Facebook users have been flooding the twitter page with message.

Today is the second day running that Facebook has been offline, yesterdays downtime was cited to be down to “issues with a third party networking provider”.

Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, and is now one of the world’s most popular websites.

Following up from my post on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm being announced, I thought I’d expand on some of the new guild features.

In this post, I’ll specifically be touching on the subject of Guild Leveling and Talent Points.

Guilds will level up similar to the way players do, and will be able to reach a max guild level of 20. The levels will be granted by obtaining a certain amount of Guild Experience, some of the ways to obtain this are;

• A member of the guild gaining a level
• A member of the guild gaining a reputation rank
• The guild slaying a boss in a party or raid – at least 75% of the party or raid must be made up of guild members
• A member of the guild winning a battleground, or rated arena match
• A member of the guild gaining a new profession rank (master/grandmaster etc)

For each Guild Level gained, the guild will be awarded a Guild Talent Point.

Guild talent points are an exciting new feature, and while we don’t yet know what each and every one of them will be, a few of them have been announced;

• PENNY PINCHER – Reduces all repair costs
• EVERYBODYS FRIEND – Removes the reagent requirement for raid wide buff spells
• MASS RESSURECTION – As the name suggests, this will allow you to ressurect the entire raid with 1 cast
• RAID SUMMON – This feature will allow you to summon your entire raid to you, instantly

While the features above have been confirmed, their exact workings have yet to be released – will Mass Ressurection and Raid Summon only work for guild members within your raid group, or will it work for the entire raid group, even PuG’d members? This is yet to be confirmed, and I’ll be sure to keep you updated.

It has also been confirmed that the talents available will appeal to all types of guilds – not just raiding guilds;

There will be leveling oriented talents for leveling guilds, PVP talents for PVP guilds, and of course, raiding talents for raiding guilds.

I can also confirm that you WILL be able to respec your Guild Talents, this will be done using Guild Currency which I will go into in another post.

I hope you are all as excited as I am about World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and what it will bring to the game!

Remember, you can pre-order your copy of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm from Amazon by clicking the image below:

The release date is still beleived to be September the 3rd 2010

Since the release of Ulduar back in World of Warcraft patch 3.1, I’ve come across a lot of people, both in Guilds, and in PUGS, that don’t know you can activate Flame Leviathan in “Easy Mode” (that is, starting it so you don’t need to destroy all the towers to disable them).

These people talk to Lore Keeper of Norgannon which enables Hard Mode – You then have to kill all 4 of the Orbital Defense System towers in order to kill Flame Leviathan in easy mode.

The easy way, that a lot of people don’t seem to know is:

When you enter Ulduar and walk down the stairs, ignore Lore Keeper of Norgannon at the foot of the stairs, he’s the guy that enables “Hard Mode”.

Instead, carry on, over to the big forcefield/shield at the start of the gauntlet, and talk to Brann Bronzebeard. He’ll enable the encounter in “Normal” or “Easy” mode, so you can just head straight down to Flame Leviathan without going up or down any ramps to kill the towers.

You do of course have to kill the large pillars en route to Flame Leviathan – but not any of the ones up or down the ramps to the sides.

Doing it the easy way also means you take a lot less damage en route to Flame Leviathan, which makes it a LOT easier to do the Unbroken (10 Player) and Unbroken (25 Player) achievements.

I hope this helps! Look out for more in-depth Achievement/Hardmode guides in the near future!

Blizzard have announced their next exciting World of Warcraft expansion pack – “World of Warcraft: Cataclysm” packed full of exciting new content!

From new zones, to new raid encounters, to reworks of the classic zones, including Flying in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms and a full redesign of all original vanilla content.

Aswell as new zones and new looks, the level cap will be raised from 80 to 85, with lots of new content and quests to get you there!

A new and much wanted feature will also be added: Guild Advancement – Level up, and level up your guild aswell! With new guild talent trees and unique benefits for the top guild contributers, this is certainly something to bring guilds together for more than just raids.

Perhaps the biggest and most exciting new feature in the expansion though, will be the 2 new races – the mighty Worgen for the Alliance, and the ever resourceful Goblins for the Horde.

While just touching on a few of the new features in this post, I will go more in-depth and release up-to-date information on the latest news related to World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

The current release date for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is on or around September the 3rd 2010 – You can preorder your copy below, so you can be one of the first to explore this exciting new content first hand!

Look out for more details in the near future!
