  IPhone/Touch v1.1.1 Jailbreak Confirmed
  Apple

  Word on the street is that the read/write access has been gained for the iPhone and iPod Touch v1.1.1. This means that 3rd party applications are now available. Thanks Niacin! They are now inviting beta testers, but not yet releasing open to public. The jailbreak was discovered through a TIFF exploit that was used to hack previous firmware on the PSP. Loading a certain TIFF file will cause a buffer overflow on the mobile Safari, allowing hackers to run their own code. Details: ==Terminal== iphuc 0.6.1 with tab completion. >> By The iPhoneDev Team: nightwatch geohot ...

  To the iPhone Hackers
  Apple (19)

  Many people, including me, have been frustrated about Apple's stance toward 3rd party applications. iPhone protesters have used one of Apple's ads against them. Here's the original, by the way:

  Importance of a Good User Interface
  Apple, UI

  I've always been big on UI. The video above easily demonstrates why. Competition on the internet is intense like always. There are so many website applications that do the same thing. If your user gets it within a few seconds; your app is a keeper. Any longer and the back button will the lose your user forever.If you need a long paragraph on your homepage describing the product, your app is toast. A smart website should show the user how to use the site by simply displaying content.

  New iMac details surface, Waiting to Buy a Mac?
  Apple

  Many people always ask me if they should buy a Mac. Honestly, I don't think it matters that much.

However, I'm not here to answer the Apple vs. Microsoft question, but to answer WHEN you should buy a Mac if you have already decided to.

  iPhones disrupt Duke’s Wireless LAN
  Apple, College (2)

  Update: As reported by Duke News, the problem was not the iPhone, but Cisco. As mentioned on Network World, iPhone's WiFi capability is flooding Duke networks. What caught my attention is that it's summer! No one is on campus during the summer. That is hilarious. "Because of the time of year for us, it’s not a severe problem," says Kevin Miller, assistant director, communications infrastructure, with Duke’s Office of Information Technology. "But from late August through May, our wireless net is critical. My concern is how many students will be coming back in August with iPhones? It’s a pretty big ...

  Genius Bar does its Job!
  Apple

  Wow, I was actually impressed about Apple's Genius Bar this last week. I was expecting them to waste about 30 minutes going through things I have already done to try to fix my laptop. But, I walked in, told them my battery health stunk since the Battery Update 1.2, and voila; I got a new battery. That was easy :)
