Best Apple Apps!

I've found less and less reason to bother with jailbreaking my iphone as Apple has slowly but consistently brought must-have features enabled via jailbreak to official iOS releases. My only complaint now is that tapping on an address defaults to open Apple Maps when I'd like to be able to...

The Official iPhone 5 Thread

I know right after launch there were some reports about wifi issues with the iPhone 5. Has anyone had issues with their home wifi networks? I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid but sometimes Safari would freeze for 5-10 seconds when I open a page before the page would load. It's hard to be...

Macbook Upgrades

So my late 2008 unibody 13 Macbook has served me well over the past few years but since my daily workload consists of multiple large pdf and ppt files, it has started to lag quite a bit when dealing with these memory hogging large files. I finally decided to take the plunge and settled on...

Am I the only one slightly freaked out by iCloud?

First off, with an iMac, unibody Macbook, iPad 2 and iPhone 4, iCloud seems to be the answer to a lot of my prayers. That being said, the recent PSN hacks and whatnot has me worried that with all my data stored on Apple's server, a breach in security could be catastrophic. Am I the only...

Resume References Etiquette

What's the etiquette for including your current boss as your reference for your updated resume? I actually like my job but if the right opening comes up, I want to have an updated resume to send. My problem is two-fold, it's not like i'm desperate to get out of here and don't give a damn...

March 2 Apple Event Thread

The fact that Apple didn't post the RAM specs for the iPad 2 is disconcerting. You know they'd be hammering it home if it was more than the competition, which leads me to believe it is either the same 1gb, or maybe even only 512 mb. I can't imagine it being 256 or else they'd be skewered on...

$600 Apple Gift Card . . . what to get?

It is one of those dilemmas that a lot of people would love to have. I have this feeling that the iPad 2 is going to be a bit underwhelming when announced tomorrow. The whole retina display rumor that is now seemingly debunked and lack of any killer new features really puts a damper on my...

To buy a Magic Trackpad or not.

I agree with the general consensus here that if you're used to it on your MBP, you'll love it just as much on your iMac, it just sucks for gaming. The placement to the right, or left of your keyboard is odd at first since we're all used to the trackpad beneath the keyboard but that is it...

$600 Apple Gift Card . . . what to get?

So for my birthday, my friends and family all pitched in to get me a $600 Apple gift card. I already had the original iPad but gave it to my mom because she loved playing Bejeweled on it. I really liked it but I didn't really miss it. It was convenient to web browse and check my email in bed...

Apple crosses the line again - UPDATE - Feds getting involved!

While I see where the OP is coming from, its hard to fault Apple for leveraging its massive ecosystem to command a premium to have a publisher's content available to its users. No one is forcing the publishers to to agree to it. From my perspective, I'd rather have a million Apple users...

Apple Customer Service Win

Customer service is always a YMMV situation. My personal experience is more or less a mixed bag. My iPhone home button started to not respond anymore. Granted, I had spilled some coffee on it, not enough to trigger the sensors or anything but enough, imo, to cause some damage. I made an...

Untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 on the way

Couldn't agree more. I hate eating/going out with groups i'm not familiar with. When my friends and I go out, this is never an issue as we all pay a bit extra and rather leave a bigger tip.

weird issue with iPhone 4/Audi MMI

I was at jailbroken os 4.0 . . . i thought it was software issue so I restored and updated to ios 4.1 and still the problem occurred. I wonder if this is because Audi MMI overrides the iPod app when it is docked. But the problem just started to occur last night and i've had my Q5 for over 3...

weird issue with iPhone 4/Audi MMI

So this just started happening last night but apparently if I just unplug my iPhone 4 from its dock on the Audi MMI while the music is playing, my home button becomes disabled and I can't exit an app once I launch it. The only way would be to hold the power button and restart the entire phone...

iPhone 4 Screen - cracked in my pocket.

Regardless of what happened, it's nice to know that Apple at least got your phone replaced for you. While I can't speak for the iPhone 4, my iPhone 3G was caseless for months and I abused the hell out it. Dropped from 6 feet onto concrete hard enough that I chipped a chunk of plastic off the...

Apple apologists can suck it! CR no longer recommends iPhone 4 due to reception issue

For the amount of money you're gonna get for a used iPhone 3G, you might as well keep it as a backup in case you lose/damage your new phone. Just my 2 cents.

iPhone 4: Dropping calls when antennas are touched together

iPhone 4: Dropping calls when antennas are touched together
