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

no fontbook or 3rd party font management; nothing obvious in ~library/fonts

will try onyx

make sure you bacdafucup before messing with your system at all

fontbook is the OSX font management program. If you're not using 3rd party management, you're using Fontbook. It sucks. Open it up. If you see any black dots next to fonts, you have a problem. Click on those and select "resolve duplicates". Sometimes these problems can be caused by something as simple as installing a program which installs a font which conflicts with a system font.

boom! thanks, perfect, that's fixed it. lucidagrande conflict

If you ever need to work with more then a couple of dozen fonts, a font management program is required. There are a few major ones, I prefer Font Explorer X, which used to be free but is now 80 bucks:

Suitcase and Font Agent Pro and others do the same, people have their preferences. Font Explorer has a few issues as a relatively young program, but it's more robust and powerful while being easier to use then the other two, I think.

^ hearty lols at this

never got the itunes hate. works fine here without any farting and falling over

ppl who fret about this shit that much need to chill imo

if they don't like apple maybe they should vote with their dollars and by macs from the other apple companies out there

does this ever happen to anyone else? (have macbook, using leopard)

http://i37.tinypic.com/1hdxqd.png

yes 'site new answers' keeps appearing in my browser despite my firm intention for it not to..

you mean there's a gap between menubar and windows? no. powerbook running leopard here

ha

i guess the picture isn't really clear -- the status bar at the top of the screen that has time/battery/life etc etc just goes black so i can't really see anything unless i click on it, then it turns blue

nice timing on the thread revive, i just paid $200 for a new 3gs because replacing a shattered screen would have cost the same. wtf

happens sometimes, I usually switch apps and then everything is clear

Just as another data point here, I use FontCase and it's totally happy with the 16000K plus fonts I've got on standby.

Quick dumb question: does the iTunes store sell songs in lossless format?

Nope, just high bitrate AAC

A security scan at Kansai International Airport, near Osaka, detected the weapons inside the executive's carry-on luggage in July as he was returning home to the U.S. from a family vacation in Kyoto, the Japanese magazine reported, citing unidentified officials at the airport and the transportation ministry.

Jobs said it wouldn't make sense for a person to try to hijack his own plane, according to the report. He then told officials he would never visit Japan again, the magazine reported. Apple declined to comment.

An airport spokesperson confirmed that an incident similar

it wouldn't make sense? did 9/11 not happen or something?
