Mac Vs PC

So i was busy the other day moving me and my brother's desks downstairs. I had a Mac. He had a PC. Here's are 2 contrasting photos to what each desk looked like before I plugged everything in (just moved all the basic gear down)




Here is my bro's PC



As you can see, there are a bunch of cables everywhere, and a super fat (and pimped up) rig to go with it.

and here is my iMac:



Very elegant and tidy, no? =]

Everyone keeps telling me how the screen is so big! It's the first thing you see when you walk into the room...a beautiful 24 inch monitor. And that is the beauty of Apple! Simplicity and beauty.

Wonderful example of iPhone customization

People say everyone's got an iPhone. Well some iPhone owners like stepping up to the challenge to make their iPhone stand out!

Here are some pics of my girlfriends pimped up iPhone!



Here is the home screen with a pink chanel Winterboard Lock screen theme!
It matches her Silicone Devil case which I bought off ebay for about $3 AU. Cheap and cute!


Here is the springboard...again with a pinky Chanel theme to match the pink case.

This is just one of many of her iPhone looks....she actually has like 5 or 6 different iPhone cases so she can accessorise them as she pleases.

I'd like to see if anyone else has a nice iPhone theme/iPhone case customisation match up going around. Post a link in the comments!

The power of EveryDay Looper...

What do you get when you cross a French musician with the latest American iPhone recording technology?

The answer is too awesome for words...

Predicting the trends of Apple's innovations...

My friend showed this to me and it amused me so much that I decided to share it here on my blog!

[UPDATED] Bad news for downgrading 3.1.3 to 3.1.2....

Ahh....as David has pointed out, Apple is now verifying all firmware files before it performs a software restore. The only way to bypass this is to have done some pre-hacking on Cydia when your device was still jailbroken. I've looked around the net, and even after you have done this, it is still a pretty tedious process, so the bad news I bring is that....you will just have to wait for a 3.1.3 jailbreak!

Get your fulls with your iPhone!

Well the iPhone can't really do the test for you, but t can at least
help you study!

To be honest, I don't know how I would have been able to read the
Driver's Qualification Manual if I didn't have an iPhone because I
simply wouldn't have enough time at home to read it from due to work
committments.

Instead, every morning in my 40 minute commute, I whip out the
GoodReader app on my iPhone and pull up the PDF version of the manual
and give it a good read. I just finished and now I'm blogging about it
on the train.

How do you put PDF files onto your iPhone you ask? Well GR gives you
may many options. You can use their in built web browser to surf for
pdf's and download them. You can transfer them from your computer to
your iPhone via wifi, among a few other methods.

You don't really need an app to read PDFs since the iPhone has native
support for PDFs (not only PDFs! Also doc, xls, ppt and ther mac
counterparts). However normally you can only view them as email
attachments, and that's where apps come in. They put all your
documents in a nice central location for your convnience.

However, although the experience was smooth and enjoyable; I could
zoom in and out and move around without any lag, I did wish I could
have read it on a bigger screen.... And I realise that the ipad does
have some value in having a big screen!

Now back to watching tutorial videos about networking!

Bored?

Yeah...i bet this guy was too. Once again, the MysterGuitarMan uses Apple products to create amazing videos! This time, he somehow managed to lip sync to a song using....the iPhone photo gallery....

I think this video proves how lag free the iphone is when flicking through a million photos...apart from being incredibly awesome!

Don't Upgrade!!!

ATTENTION! If you have 3.1.2 running on your iPhone/iPod Touch, DO NOT upgrade to 3.1.3 !! you may get a message when you plug it into iTunes but do not install it!! The only thing it does is improve battery life readings on iPhone 3GS.

If you think that's worth losing your jailbreak for, go right ahead!

And remember, as with any new apple firmware update, it will clear out all jailbreaks and you will have to wait for developers to release a new one. Stay posted for a revised 3.1.3 jailbreak tutorial!

Let the Jokes Begin...

Whenever a company releases a product with a funny name, you know it's going to cop a lot of crap (like the Wii). Funnily enough, this skit about an iPad was done many years ago before it was released!
