30GB Zunes Killing Themselves In Droves
The internet is awash with reports that the 30GB Zune is committing suicide across the planet. Not just one of them, either. It seems that some weird bug is simultaneously killing the music players, like lemmings leaping from a cliff.
Speculation is of course centered around the timing. It is New Year’s Eve, after all, and the conspiracy nuts are calling this Z2K (with or without a +9 at...
why can’t apple just add cut and paste to the ipho… wait, is that an echo I hear?
World's first xenon flash attachment for iPhone
iphography:
Snapture have released the world’s first xenon flash attachment for an iPhone but comes with 2 caveats 1. It’s not actually in production & 2 you need to jailbreak your iPhone to use it.

What we’d like to see here at iPhography.com is to add to the SnaptureFlash a screw thread to attach micro tripods. A small hole / loop to attach a lanyard so that your...

This blog post contains a bookmarklet to force links in Safari on the iPhone to open on new pages. The bookmarklet performs some JavaScript to add a target=_blank tag to every link on the page. When clicked on an iPhone, the target bit forces a link to open in a new window, which in the iPhone’s UI, is as close as you get to a tab.

3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late
1 // You may need more sleep than you think.
Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were “well rested” actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10 hours a night. 2 // Night owls are...

Set half-star ratings directly in iTunes
macosxhints.com:
iTunes has long supported half-star ratings, but I recently discovered (I thought) that iTunes 8 added support for setting these half-star values directly within the iTunes interface. After submitting a hint, robg told me that he couldn’t replicate the trick, nor could any of the others he asked to also test it out. So I went back to my machine to figure out why it works for...

Car Stereo will Swallow your iPod →
iPod-friendly car stereos are nothing new. In fact, you’d probably be hard-pressed to find a stereo these days that didn’t feature some kind of iPod connectivity. But most of the time it’s just a cable or a dock that leaves your MP3 player sitting out in the open, tempting those who walk by your vehicle. But not the CA-IP500 from Fusion Electronics Ltd. The face of the head unit flips down...

TiltShift brings miniature faking to the iPhone
If you’re looking for a quick way to add that “miniature” effect to photos from your iPhone, TiltShift is for you.
While not as powerful as using desktop image editing software, it can quickly doctor your images to give them that tilt-shifty look, or just apply a dreamy vignette around the edges.
TiltShift comes with a library of photos to try, but you can also use photos...
The iPhone's camera jumping up in the Flickr...
In the list of Flickr’s most popular cameras (compiled from the metadata attached to any photos that upload to the popular site), our favorite cell phone is climbing up the ranks. In fact, it had just recently overtaken the Canon EOS 40D digital SLR when the screenshot above was taken (though stats may have changed since then, as now it appears the iPhone never did cross that line)....

iPhone nano rumors resurface alongside case...
Renderings of a protective case for a device that resembles a smaller iPhone have been published online, rekindling speculation that Apple may be planning to introduce a new low-end handset sometime in the near future.
Pictured to be both shorter (the same height as the 4G iPod nano) and fatter than the iPhone 3G, the handset would reportedly include the same sensors and camera, but feature a...
