Billy Mays’ pallbearers honor the man in blue
Although Michael Jackson’s upcoming funeral will surely be a feeding frenzy for photographers, it’ll be hard to beat this photo op from today’s burial ceremony for TV pitchman Billy Mays. With their khakis and rolled-up long-sleeve blue shirts, the pallbearers gave a fitting homage to the uniform that was almost as memorable as Mays’ well-manicured beard. Mays died at his home June 28 from apparent natural causes. According to the Associated Press , which distributed the photo, Mays’ eulogy covered everything from childhood memories to his devout Christian faith to his personal mantras like, “Life’s a pitch, and then you buy.” —Posted by David Griner

Geohot Sneaks Out iPhone 3GS Jailbreak Early
Geohot aka George Hotz aka the first person to unlock the original iPhone (with solder), has released a jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS. And, the naughty boy, he has taken the work done by the iPhone Dev Team (the folks behind all previous software unlocks) and posted it early. The iPhone Dev Team are waiting for the v3.1 software release from Apple before “officially” making the hack available, ostensibly to avoid the hack being patched by Apple. But as it is already ready, Geohot, a member of the Dev Team, has gone ahead and put it out for download. The unlock is Windows-only, and you’ll need an iPhone 3GS to use it on, of course. I have neither, so I can’t test it, but GeoHot at least has a good reputation. According to The Register, Hotz says the hack, named “purplera1n” is “awesome.” Maybe, but if it lets you load up the carrier-unlocking applications available for jailbroken iPhones. we’ll probably agree.

Happy Fourth of July!
American Independence Day is tomorrow. It’s a day for drinking beer (according to Sloshspot , Americans drink more beer on July 4 than on any other day of the year), grilling out and hanging with family and loved ones. So to all AC’s American friends we say — go do some of the above tomorrow. And to all our outside of America friends we say — why not go do some of the above tomorrow, too? In the immortal words of Bartles and Jaymes themselves, we thank you for your support. See you on Monday. .
