Classic Mac OS emulator for jailbroken iPhones {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 22nd 2009 9:59AM A patient man, I spent many months thinking "eh, I can wait" for cut/paste... now that I have it, of course, I am loathe to live without it.
Classic Mac OS emulator for jailbroken iPhones {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 22nd 2009 9:56AM Nostalgia, exactly. All I need to know is how do Dark Castle, Shufflepuck Cafe, and Brickles run?
Ripdev launches anti-piracy service for iPhone developers {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 11th 2009 8:17PM Let the security theatre commence. As everywhere else, there needs to be an appearance of escalation to keep developers happy and keep casual pirates off the bleeding edge. (I wonmder if new DRM tech increases revenue for a certain period before it's cracked--I'd love to see stats on that.) But people who are really determined will penetrate the every new wrapper, it's just a matter of time.
Preliminary tethered jailbreak now available for iPod touch 2G {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 2nd 2009 7:28AM "Because you can" is the BEST answer, in my opinion, but the practical answer is that jailbroken apps have better hardware access than app store apps, and can do more/better stuff. Not having a Touch, my two primary examples that I use rely on the iphone camera hardware (snapture, cycorder video), but there is plenty of stuff (categories, backgrounder, sbsettings) that would be a big boon on the other platform.
Turn off Airplane Mode before updating your iPhone firmware {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 31st 2009 1:36PM I have an iPhone being used as an iTouch because I wanted the extra hardware (external speakers for sharing videos, camera for easy snapshots) and the ability to expand into using the cellular radio when cost, need, and/or available funds allow. I can buy a SIM card when travelling and add local service to the device, which I can't do with my Sprint phone (which I only keep because I'm locked into a great monthly price from a few years back).
New HDPC from MIU offers sleeker shell and Intel Atom-power {Engadget}
Oct 22nd 2008 11:28AM Looks like it needs more buttons. A hand-held with enough power to run XP but too few buttons to play Chrono Trigger, or even Super Mario Bros? This is a deal-breaker in my book!
Google outs remote kill switch in Android, those rascals {Engadget}
Oct 16th 2008 8:25AM No wonder they need a kill switch.
2Chicks1Mac - Tip Applications: Hot? or Not? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 6th 2008 1:26AM And yet, Cydia isn't flooded with tip calculators. All the homebrew stuff is pretty good. Even the flashlight app is better--it has the ability to turn up the brightness.
iPhone users reporting reboots due to high App count {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 5th 2008 4:34PM I wonder if this is all apps, or apps in a certain location (just homebrew or just appstore), or visible SpringBoard apps but not hidden-with-Categories apps... and what the threshold is. I can't have more than fifty apps on mine, no trouble here. I'm not sure I could find enough apps I want to get to double that number.
Dear Auntie TUAW: Is My 2.0 iPhone Slow and Buggy? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 30th 2008 4:07PM Safari crashes a lot more since I upgraded.
