PDF version of iPhone developer's cookbook available {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 8th 2008 7:17PM Seconded. I really liked Erica's posts, particularly before the NDA screwed it all up. Sorry to have her gone.
Poll: Is iPhone firmware 2.1 breaking fetch for email accounts? {Engadget}
Oct 6th 2008 8:30PM Ah, another advantage of jailbreaking: because it's a pain to update, my phone is still running 2.0.1. I haven't dropped a call in weeks, and having installed all my apps through iTunes (not via the onboard app store), I've never had any instability. It buzzes like a champ every time I get email, asleep or awake. And to think I was planning on finally updating tonight...
Techspansion closes, VisualHub discontinued {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 3rd 2008 1:30PM Ah, I remember the days when iSquint was just a 20-line applescript interface for ffmpeg, notable mainly for the insanely hilarious error and help dialogues (not to mention that original Bono-blowjob icon). Clearly the guy never intended to get into professional software development at the time, so I can understand him not wanting to stay in it. Too bad if the software just disappears though.
iPhone USB adapter recall announced {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 19th 2008 8:32PM You know, I bet a lot fewer of these things would break off if Apple didn't make all of their damn adapters out of slippery white plastic. I'm constantly trying to unplug a tight white apple adapter from one thing or another and find my fingers sliding right off, forcing me to twist or tug in some weird way to get purchase on the bugger. Put a few ridges on the plugs, and fewer people would end up applying the sort of torques that break them.
First Look: GL Golf {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 18th 2008 12:21AM I think it's nicer to have the vistas to end in mountains, forests, oceans, clouds, etc, never just a flat horizon unless you're on a plateau. Simple additions like that make the environs much more pleasant to play in. See, for instance, the Wii Sports golf game -- very basic, but with pleasing though simple scenery.
PwnageTool and QuickPwn for 2.1 iPhone's released {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 13th 2008 4:11PM So if my iPhone 3G is already jailbroken with an earlier firmware, to upgrade to 2.1 via QuickPwn, I have to first officially upgrade to 2.1 using iTunes, and then use QuickPwn, and then reinstall all my unofficial apps such as Intelliscreen and Videorecorder3g? Does QuickPwn install Cydia, SSH, etc, automatically the way Pwnage Tool does? And if I use Pwnage tool again, I still have to reinstall my non-Applestore apps?
2Chicks1Mac - Tip Applications: Hot? or Not? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 6th 2008 4:20PM "Tip" appears to no longer be free, and I guess was only free for a brief while. I really hate it when developers do that; it feels really sleazy, regardless of how low the new price is.
2Chicks1Mac - Tip Applications: Hot? or Not? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 5th 2008 9:05PM Do any of the tip calculators automatically choose whatever tip between 15% and 20% will make the total bill (or the total for each payer) a rounded dollar amount, without extraneous cents? That I might use.
iPhone users reporting reboots due to high App count {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 5th 2008 6:32PM Other reports seem to agree that a large proportion of the app problems is due to the mobile app store. I have dozens of apps on my iphone and have never had a problem, perhaps because I've never downloaded even an update from the mobile store.
Double-sided transparent touch display would make Battleship amazing {Engadget}
Aug 29th 2008 11:16PM Not too reassuring that their X player seems to have actually managed to lose tic-tac-toe ... and O could have won it a whole round earlier if it hadn't played so badly too.
