A very good news for everybody using the "Tethered" or "SemiTethered Jailbreak" as finally the wait is over and we now have a Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 (no need to connect your device to a computer while rebooting), dubbed Corona 5.0.1 Untether the very small 44.6 KB only cydia tweak is all you need to get the untethered jailbreak on your iOS 5 apple device.

It was just a matter of time after Apple made the decrypted ramdisks available with newer build of iOS 5.01 for legal Siri ports to appear, and that time has now come with popular iPhone dev @chpwn releasing the first legal port for "Siri" via Cydia.

Apple's Siri virtual voice assistant seems to have sparked the demand for virtual butlers, tech giant Google is being reported all set to offer their own alternative to "Siri" as "Majel" named after "Majel Barrett" - the voice of the Federation Computer from Star Trek. While all the previous attempts to mimic "Siri" functionality on Android have not been very promising, codenamed project "Majel" will be an evolution to Google’s Voice Actions adding the ability to process natural language. Rumored to get released/announced publicly by end of this year this would be definitely the way to go for future of computing.
Comments from senior Google executive "Amit Singhal" very much sums what Google wants to achieve with "Majel" and change the way we compute today :
