		<description><![CDATA[2G iPhones previously unlocked with IPSF (iPhoneSimFree) still work after patching them with the new PwnageTool 2.0 from

You can put the plug-in in the /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug_Ins/ folder. It&#8217;s better to add it to your ~Library/Application Suport/Aperture/Plug_ins/ folder in your user home though because [...]]]></description>

uneven iMac displays. Apparently, some buyers, represented by Kabateck Brown Kellner LLP, were disturbed enough with the bad display quality of the aluminum iMacs that they choose to file a class action lawsuit against Apple. The lawsuit names inflated claims, concealed inferiorities of the new 20-inch iMac [...]]]></description>

A lot of attempts originate from other countries like South Korea and Indonesia as well. It seems that in those countries (cyber-)law-enforcement and technological advancement don&#8217;t correlate.
