  • The iPhone is amazing

    Further proof that the iPhone is the greatest phone on the planet…First a little back story, my girlfriend teaches a drama class, and said drama class was preforming a series of one act plays. At the last minute they realized that they didn’t have all of the sound effects they needed. Enter the iPhone.

    They needed a dog barking. The iPhone has a ringtone of a dog barking.

    They needed an old telephone ringing. The iPhone has it (actually named Old Phone).

    They needed an old car horn. And you guessed it, the iPhone has it.

    So using nothing more than default ringtones and an iPhone held up to a wireless mic I was able to provide sound effects at the last minute for a theatrical production. And that ladies and gentleman is why the iPhone is just so amazing.

    For the life of me though, I cannot figure out why anyone would choose to include a dog barking as a ringtone…

  • New theme added

    Ed has submitted another theme, xudaz, which is now available via the repo.

  • Hitman the movie is free

    Don’t ask me how or why, but you can grab yourself a free copy of Hitman for a limited time (as in until Apple catches on). There’s a little glitch in iTunes that allows you to grab it for free, though after watching the first three minutes I decided free was just too high a price and deleted the film.

    Check it out for yourself:
    In iTunes, click iTunes store, look for the “Browse” on Quick Links in the right hand side. Than, select “Movies” and then “Thriller”. Look for the title “Hitman”. You will see it is free (as pictured below) for the whole version at 1.06GB. I can download it and watch it successfully.

    Get Hitman for free!

  • Adventures in Applecare: iPod Touch Dead Spot (Conclusion)

    The Story
    The Update
    The Conclusion

    So I got my iPod back today, and while the email I got on Monday told me Apple couldn’t reproduce my problem, just being in the factory must have done something because the dead spot is no more. The canned letter they sent back with it said that “The perceived fault may have been resolved as a consequence of the test procedure itself (internal iPod software update, reset and restore operations, etc).” Hey, whatever works, I’m sure not complaining.

    Now to jailbreak it again..
