  • Data Roaming

    Okay, even though I’m on a camping trip I’ve been using my iPhone during the car ride. Now my question is this, I have data roaming turned off, but is there still a chance AT&T might sock me extra for my data usage? Their website says that data coverage is provided in this area through partner coverage, but excessive usage may result in termination of your service or additional charges.

    I guess my question is more along the lines of what constitutes excessive use?

  • This ain’t how your Grandpa went fishin’

    I’ll admit I have a soft spot for boats, and this one is no exception. Pictured is the 2008 Four Winns Express Cruiser V458.

    I priced one on their website to the tune of $786,768… but I guess that’s the premium you pay for iPod compatibility.

    More pics after the jump.

  • 3G iPhone coming June 9th

    Everyone on the net is claiming to have an insider who has tipped them off as to the launch date of the 3G iPhone, whether or not any of those claims are legit there is a very good chance the 3G iPhone will be released on June 9th.

    That leads me to the obvious question… Will you be buying one?

  • iSlsk Patch Updated

    I’ve received a few emails from people who can’t get the Firewire GUID patch for iSlsk to work. So I’ve rewritten the patch and posted an update to Installer.

    In order to fully test it, I restored my iPhone to stock 1.1.4 firmware, jailbroke it and installed both iSlsk and the Firewire GUID patch and it seems to be working. If anyone is still having problems, please contact me and we’ll get things sorted out.

    p.s. Remember to refresh your sources to get the update!

  • Terminal Tips: Part 6

    Continuing the series of posts I started last week, here are a few more Terminal tips.

    [16] uptime
    Shows the current time, how long your computer has been running, as well as the average load.

    [17] top
    Much like Activity Monitor, the top command displays a list of all running processes on your system.

    [18] emacs
    Allows you to run the old unix program emacs.
