Even as cool as the ip4 is, and all its great advantages over my 3gs, I CANNOT WAIT until I can jailbreak this thing. I miss MyWi, and I miss my NES emulator and I miss my ringtones. |

Though it's not as bad on the uber-pretty Retina Display, I miss having a proper SMS bubble and not this glazed and shiny that we're forced to use. I grabbed a bunch of awesome BlackBerry OS6 ringtones last weekend and can't wait to switch out the SMS ones. |

OMG... ewwww
The Most Disgusting iPhone Charger Ever
Thursday, October 7th, 2010 at 1:30 AM PST
Want to lay eyes on the most disgusting iPhone charger you’ve ever seen in your life? Don’t take my word for it, hit play on the video above and behold the Umbilical Cord iPhone Charger. Note how the cord pulsates and moves as the charger delivers nutrients, er, I mean power to your iPhone.
Credit for this piece of double-take gadgetry goes to Japanese artist Mio I-zawa. Quite honestly, I’m not sure whether to ask him ‘WHY!?’, or just leave this as is, and tell myself I’ll never look at that video again.
Unfortunately I can’t tell you if this is available for purchase or not, as I was turned-off just enough to not want to know much more about the darn thing. However, if you’re curious as a cat, you can check out Mio’s website for some more, shall we say, ‘interesting’ works.

I really liked how you set up your 3g and was hoping for some help and files to assist me in modding my UI a little like yours once the jailbreak is available. Ive done some modding my self but not even close to how pretty you made yours. |

iPhone dev team member, Joshua Hill, has_tweeted the goods (unconfirmed obviously) on GreenPois0n’s launch date. In case you didn’t read the title, the jailbreak for iOS 4.1 is coming this Sunday, Oct. 10, at 10:10:10 AM.
GreenPois0n is made by Chronic Dev Team |

I think you're referring to when I was running the translucent icons - that's a set called "Glasklart" with a bunch of font mods and a custom dock - not much else. :) Once iOS4 gets jailbroken I'll be able to give you some pointers and re-do the dock and UI elements. |

Apple afraid of a shattering followup to its Antennagate woes?
Apple weathered that Antennagate storm surprisingly well, but now there's another potential cloudburst on the horizon, and it's been pre-named for your convenience: "Glassgate." Or maybe "Glass-That-Shatters-If-Scratched-By-A-Casegate." Ryan Block has just posted a story on gdgt citing sources "inside and outside Apple" claiming that Apple has discovered a different flaw -- or weakness, shall we say -- in its iPhone 4 design. The basic problem seems to be with non-bumper cases, specifically ones that slide on to the phone, and the danger of trapped particles scratching the back of the phone while taking the case on and off. Case-caused scratches are nothing new (though still annoying), but the big problem seems to be that these scratches can lead to cracking and even full-on shattering of the back panel. Apparently this lead to Apple severely limiting its reselling efforts of third party cases for a time (which you might have noticed), and while Apple currently has some third party cases online and in its stores, none of the hard cases are of the slide-on variety. Apple also purportedly has a new test program set up to understand this specific issue.
Of course, plenty of questions are raised by all this: is this a widespread problem with folks that have managed to acquire a slide-on case? We haven't really heard of such a correlation so far. Do the snap-on folks, many of whom received their cases free of charge from Apple, have anything to worry about? And does Apple have any intention of warning its consumers about this potential danger? Apple didn't respond to Ryan's request for comment, and we doubt they'll respond to our own until they're good and ready to talk -- let's just hope there's not another faux hat-in-hand press conference in our future! |

| Sounds to be a pretty simple case of material integrity - everything's fine and dandy until the material (or the coating perhaps?) is compromised, at which point it all goes to . |

Seems to be ok if it's a snap on, it's the slide ons that's the problem. |
