iPhone Tip Calculator with Support for Tax and Liquor

Houdah Software has announced the release of ACTGratuity 2.1, its full-featured tip calculator for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. ACTGratuity was first released the day the iTunes AppStore opened its doors. ACTGratuity aims to impress with its feature set, ease of use and undeniable cuteness.

Version 2.1 sports an all new interface and looks so cute you can't resist. Most importantly though, it is easy to use and yet loaded with all the features you need. ACTGratuity 2.1 adds support for "Liquor": an amount you want to be excluded from tip calculation. E.g. liquor, wine bottles, surcharges, and more. ACTGratuity 2.1 also adds built-in documentation. The key message here is: check total includes tax and liquor. Enter the full amount charged.

The bill shows 5 rows: Check, Liquor,Tax, Gratuity & Split. When a row is selected, you can key in values using the keypad. Otherwise it just displays current values. Usually you just need to key in the check amount. That row is selected by default. You enter the full check amount. ACTGratuity subtracts liquor and tax, computes gratuity and then splits the grand total by the number of guests.

The 3 lower rows show 2 values. When not selected, the value to the right is the computed value. The smaller value to the left is the value or percentage you have entered. Once you select a row, the configurable value moves to the right so you can key it in.

Hint: The waiter's body acts as a vertical slider to adjust gratuity. Watch his facial expression change with the gratuity percentage!

Feature Highlights:
* Single keypad to key in all values and percentages
* Support for sales tax. Set to 0% to deactivate
* Support for liquor/beverages. Set to $0 to deactivate
* Computes as you type
* Facial expressions reflect tip percentage

Pricing and Availability:
ACTGratuity 2.1 is priced at $0.99 (USD) and available exclusively in the Travel category of Apple's App Store. The update is free for existing customers.

P0sixninja Releases New iPhone Jailbreak Utilities


P0sixninja from the Chronic Dev Team has announced the release of four new jailbreak utilities and begun publishing the source for greenpois0n.

idevicerestore: A new tool capable of restoring IPSWs to devices without the help of iTunes. Also capable of doing other neat stuff such as upgrading stock firmware without flashing nor (to preserve jailbreaks) or baseband (to preserve unlocks).

ideviceactivate: A new utility to designed to activate devices without the help of iTunes. Hopefully soon this will even allow users to activate unlocked devices, or devices without an official AT&T SIM.

spirit-linux: An open source version of the Spirit jailbreak for the Linux platform (and possibly soon others).

libirecovery: A library to help developers communicating with iBoot, iBSS, iBEC and DFU, as well as a brand new, completely rewritten, and MUCH improved irecovery.

We've begun publishing the source for some of our greenpois0n components to help new developers start learning and building their very own jailbreak programs. Each one of these components is named after a different poison and all are available under the GNU Public License on our Chronic-Dev Github Repositories.

GreenPois0n Cyanide: Is a cross-platform iBoot payload toolkit to help developers discover new vulnerabilities and design super fast, low-level iBoot jailbreaks and exploit payloads, much like the way blackra1n/purplera1n works.

GreenPois0n Anthrax: Is a cross-platform iPhone ramdisk toolkit to help developers design extremely stable and portable ramdisk jailbreaks, much like the same way quickpwn/redsn0w works.

GreenPois0n Dioxin: Is cross-platform MobileDevice toolkit designed to help developers design awesome userlevel jailbreaks, much the same way spirit jailbreak works.

GreenPois0n Arsenic: new, cross-platform custom firmware toolkit to help developers design jailbreaks to help preserve baseband and keep unlocks, much in the same way PwnageTool/Sn0wBreeze works.


P0sixninja also discusses the possible sources for a new unlock, including the one discovered by Sherif Hashim, a new untethered iBoot vulnerability which was discovered by both geohot and Chronic-Dev Team, and a brand new bootrom code execution vulnerability discovered by himself personally (and probably geohot too).

If you would like to contribute you can donation to p0sixninja's new iPhone4g donations fund. Even just donations of old or broken devices is important.
