Apple has announced a ‘Special Event’ for September 1st and the speculation has started to churn as to what’s going to be revealed at the Event. Here are my predictions for what may, or may not, be unveiled next month.

The other day I was way from home and my house alarm went off. I couldn’t get home to check it and it was driving me nuts. Thankfully a family member was nearby and was able to go check on the house for me. But this got me thinking, if it happens again, what’s the easiest way for me to check on what’s going on without waiting for a neighbor or the alarm company to check it out. I had a couple of webcams, a computer and my iPhone and I thought surely I can figure out a way to use these to see whats going at home from wherever I am. Here’s what I came up with…

The scenario is an easy one to imagine, you leave for work, halfway there you realize that you forgot to start that huge download that you wanted when you got home. No way to do it now but turn around and go home, which is not an option. Well there is another way, in your bag you have a portable computer that has the capability to remotely display the desktop of your computer and allow you to control it as if you were sitting there with the mouse! Here’s how to set up your computer and iPhone for remote control…

There have been new rumblings bubbling to the surface in the ever-threatening sea of Verizon iPhone 4 rumors. Several new facts and finds are pointing the way towards an iPhone on the “other” major carrier in the US after a three year wait. I for one think that it’s very much time for Apple to [...]

I’m flying down the beach. The wind rushes in my ears as the inhuman power of the horse beneath me propels me down the beach, it’s muscles bunching and flexing as it’s hooves dig into the soft, slightly damp sand and throw it up and back in a blurry fan that flies out through the edges of my vision, blurred by the liquid that my tear ducts are furiously pumping out to try to keep my eyeballs lubricated. The sun and surf are blending together like the scrubbings of a wet oil brush on canvas. All the while I pull in deep breaths of the smell of Tahiti, coconut oil, hibiscus and warm skin.

After a few minutes of this, my eyes glaze over and I reach my left hand down towards my pocket and pull out my iPhone, just to check Twitter…

Ahh flash on the iPhone, you most elusive of monsters. I still get questions today about the iPhone running flash from almost everyone who gets one or wants to. Apple refuses to add it, Adobe complains about it, but the only person who does anything about it is Comex, the iPhone hacker who brought us [...]

We knew someone was going to get the axe over the iPhone 4 antenna gate, it was just a matter of who. Now we know. Mark Papermaster, the guy in charge of iPhone hardware, has departed Apple. But what does this mean about the state of Apple as a unified whole? Is there a war going on inside Apple and if so, is it us who will pay?

I’ve been fielding questions since yesterday morning about a completely innacurate and blatantly false article title by Paul McDougall over at Information Week. The article heading plainly states that Apple may begin ‘bricking’ Jailbroken iPhones. The statement is so patently false and has so little to do with the actual content of the article, I think it must have been written by someone else… or monkeys. It’s so off-base that I almost don’t know where to begin….almost.

The iPhone 4 Jailbreak released this weekend is clever, devious and simple. It also succeeds because it takes advantage of a teeny tiny flaw in a component of Apple’s new iPhone “iOS” operating system. The same flaw could easily be used by malicious hackers to corrupt your phones operating system and harvest data. Thankfully there’s a simple fix.

With the release of the iPhone 4 Jailbreak and the influx of interest with regards to Jailbreaking the iPhone, I’ve been getting tons of questions and comments about Jailbreaking and more than ever a lot of them are centered around one topic. With the abundance of new features in iOS 4 and by extension, the [...]
