A couple of weeks ago I noticed a crack had developed from the rear corner of the dock connector port on my black iPhone 3G running up the back for about an inch.
The crack did not affect the operation of the phone but it was sure bugging me every time I looked at it.
I looked [...]

I stumbled across this blog post by Veronica Belmont (@Veronica on Twitter) about an awesome concept for iPhone App organizing.

I don’t know about you but I have 5, starting on 6, pages of apps on my iPhone and it’s a major pain in the ass to move them around into a sensible order.
Hey Apple, [...]

This is the error message that has been plaguing me for a few days.
What triggered it was replacing my provisioning profiles and certificates.
Fortunately I found an answer in the following blog post
CodeSign error: a valid provisioning profile is required

I was struggling for some hours on an issue with an App I’m writing for the iPhone.
For some reason I could not get any of the views to rotate to landscape, the API docs suggested that this was trivial and only required implementing the method
(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
and always returning YES
The problem is that this doesn’t work if [...]

After 38 years of living in what I believed to be a free country you can imagine my outrage when I came across stories about the Rudd government’s latest brainwave
Minister welcomes advances in internet filtering technology
(Computerworld have a good piece on it)
It would appear that like people in China, Burma and North Korea, we need [...]

Inspired by my Texan colleague and enabled by my recent acquisition of a 3G iPhone I decided to have a crack at Geocaching.
For the uninitiated this involves trying to find a hidden cache of goodies based on GPS co-ordinates.
I checked out the definitive sight geocaching.com punched in the co-ordinates of my house and looked [...]

I decided to update my iPhone to the new 3G model for a number of reasons
* GPS
* 3G data
* A locally supported legit phone
So far I’m very happy with the upgrade, Viv has inherited my previous phone which I pwned and updated to 2.0 on the weekend.
I have definitely noticed a difference in battery life, [...]

I wonder if I should start an iPhone category
I recently used the Pwn Project tools to make a custom 1.1.4 firmware that is activated, jailbroken etc, it all worked well and after restoring the firmware to my iPhone everything “Just Worked” except the Mail application.
I have seen this issue before where you start [...]

I recently updated my iPhone’s firmware to 1.1.3. Last weekend I took the boys to the park and used my phone to take a few photos (or so I thought), unfortunately when I got home there were no photos on the phone….
I searched the web and found a blog post and two Apple Support threads [...]
