I HATE APPLE

elfin bro

That's a pretty creepy tiny ghost hand top left.

I hate Apple! My iPhone 3G cannot get any 3G signal! I can't seem to get any 3G service on my iPhone, and haven't for about a week now. I know that we have 3G service in this area, because I'm holding another iPhone in my hand, and that one gets 3G service just fine. I know that 3G is enabled, because I go to Settings -> General -> Network, and "Enable 3G" is turned on, and just says "No Signal." When I turn off "Enable 3G" I can get on the Edge network just fine. I don't get it. I already tried reseting the iPhone (holding down the home sceen button and the power button), and that didn't work. I tried upgrading to OS 4.0 and that didn't work. I even tried going to Settings -> Reset -> Erase All Settings, and even that didn't work. I am completely and totally stumped, and I am out of ideas. FUCK YOU APPLE I'M GETTING AN EVO!

have you restored as new iPhone?

Attenuation is such a beautiful, simple and magical word. I bet Windows phones only get 'signal loss'.

xp ...amazing

yep i really wanted all my app folders to disappear and then have my apps sorted in alphabetical order

verizon seems to have managed it
Verizon can suck it

The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one.

gah i just bought a new magic mouse and ever since i did i've been thinking "i wish i could just get an external trackpad"

do these things work on 1st-gen intels?

wondering if the trackpad will work with an ipad

How could it? iPad has no pointer, and there'd be no way to give feedback on what area you were zooming and dragging etc.. Would be like mousing with the screen off

true, if you could use a mouse/trackpad with it then you'd go a long way towards it being a laptop/desktop replacement.

calling an apple store right now, hold music is killers - human, lolz

It has a friggin mouse/trackpad, it's called "touching the screen and dragging." The iPad *is* a trackpad!

I have generally hated trackpads, but find the one on my macbookpro to be the least offensive, and I wonder if I would hate it as much if it was to the right of my keyboard instead of below it.

you would if you're left handed.

anyone brave enough to try?

Did it. What now? I installed AdBlock.

- biteSMS (quick reply to texts w/o leaving whatever app you're in!)
- SBSettings (get access to a control panel allowing you to turn settings like wifi/3g/bluetooth on/off without having to dick around in the settings menu)
- LockInfo (puts info like new emails, weather, calendar events on your lockscreen)
- 3G Unrestrictor (trick the device into thinking it's on a wifi connection so you can DL bigger files over the air/use Facetime)
- SBLight (if you have an iphone 4 this maps flashlight functionality to a gesture on the phone of yr choice)

new JB app called InfiniFolders lets you put as many items in a folder as you want

also there's a free Ouendan clone w/ community tracks called Osu on Cydia. most of the tracks are desperately shitty jpop/kpop bullshit for ultra pros but you can't beat the price or the idea.

i'm really liking lockinfo, but it seems kinda janky for 5 bux. also my battery seems to hate me lately and i dunno which of the jb apps is causing it

love the idea of bitesms, but the UI is almost unusable. are there any other quick reply sms apps out there with more 'elegant' interfaces?

tlert?

yeah that looks pretty tite, i'll have to give er a go

hrm is there any app that will show me the running processes? something is draining my battery pretty badly and the phone is always warm /:

why the hell can't you use a debit card w/ Visa Mastercard logo to buy the IPhone in person, but you can online? I know they're doing "no cash" purchases so they can track purchases and such, but two of my friends have been told in person they couldn't use a debit card with a CC logo as it would "double charge their account". It seemed ludicrous, but I emailed AT&T and they confirmed it was correct.

Seems arcane and stupid.

i bought my iphone w/ a check card with a mastercard logo

in person? then this store is a buncha liars

the 'double charge' explanation doesn't make any sense either,

spilt water, y and h keys no longer functional, mbp out of warranty, FML

oh and I forgot, I have work to do on this damn machine

I asked the guy at the AT&T store and he said that they will allow it but they strongly discourage it. I did it and here's the deal: it puts a hold on the funds in ur bank account until the phone ships. Until it shipped my checking acct showed a pending transaction (~2 weeks). Once it ships, the hold was released and the money was available again. Then when you activate the phone, it makes the deduction for real.

Confusing and weird and seemingly improvable.

a minimum of $300 to replace my mbp's keyboard out of warranty is FUCKING OBSCENE no matter how you spin it.

$300 MINIMUM. FUCK YOU APPLE

you've got a unibody?

nah the earlier one that looks like a powerbook

If you're handy you can get a keyboard for £40 and replace it yourself. it isn't easy, but it's not impossible.

yeah i looked at ifixit and that's probably what i'll end up doing

just sold a camera lens to someone who works at apple O_o

weird os x issue: cut-off file names on desktop and the clock is almost superscript

I've created another account and logging out and into that one gets rid of the problem but how can I solve it on my main account?

dunno what's up with those icons either : /

Seems like a corrupted font problem

My thought too. Anythining in ~/Library/Fonts ?

using fontbook or 3rd party font management?

Onyx is a good all-around maintenance tool that can clear your font cache

you can also open fontbook and see if there are any duplicated fonts

maybe u shouldnt have installed osx on your iphone
