The jailbreak is out for all iDevices except for the iPhone 4, which is coming soon. It is a userland jailbreak, which involves going to a website. Details are here: http://www.spiritjb.org/2010/08/jailbreakme-for-iphone-ipod-ipad.html
Today Apple released a lot of new things:
Their line of iMacs now include Intel core i3, i5, and i7 processors, not more core 2 duo!
The Mac Pro now can go up to 12 cores. (who needs that much!?)
The Cinema display, is now 27″ and has a resolution of 2560 x 1440.
One of the most speculated products is the Magic Trackpad, which is a larger, bluetooth enabled of the multitouch trackpad on the macbook pros.
To go along with the trackpad and wireless keyboards, there is now a battery charger that comes with 6 batteries, and it is only $29!
Here is a simple way to hide applications icons from the dock
- Find the application you want.
- Right/Control click on the applications name and select ‘View Package Contents’ from the drop down menu that appears
- In the window appears browse to the ‘Contents’ Folder and open the file named ‘info.plist’ with TextEdit (default)
- At the bottom of the info.plist file, and the following two lines, and make sure to intent them so they match the rest of the formatting:
<key>NSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
Save the file and you are done! To reverse this simple remove those two lines
As I have recently changed browsers from Safari and Firefox to Opera I thought of an interesting question. How do you surf the web, and are there certain reasons why you think that browser is better than others? I recently changed for a few reasons. First, Opera has absolutely no security holes(At this time). Secondly, it has widgets, similar to Firefox add-ons, and some other reasons I changed over were because of the UI (User interface) and the iPhone app they now have for the iPhone.
