If the network didn’t manage the network in a good way, this kind of mess will happen. English Russia collected a few pictures about those network messes. I read similar stuff before, and I remember there is a big mouse in the computer.

Twitter lets you to reply to other Twitter users. @iwish used this function to make it work. @iwish is a Twitter wish aggregator which collects your wish. To use it, follow @iwish Twitter first. Then, in your Twitter home page, make a wish by adding “@iwish” in the front of the sentence. For example, I make a wish to have a car, then type “@iwish to have a car”. (You don’t need to type “I wish” cause it will be added automatically)
Wait for a while and your wish will be appeared on the front page of @iwish. Everyone else share the dreams on the @iwish front page.

After you pour some water into your MacBook Pro, what would you do? Blame Apple? The Boy Genius Report that a recent customer accidentally pour some water in MacBook Pro. And the customer need to pay $300 up front with no guarantee that this will fix the problem. Apparently the customer is angry about this and send an email to High-level Apple customer care (sjobs@apple.com).
Here is what the customer got for the response,
Xxxxxxx,
This is what happens when your MacBook Pro sustains water damage.They are pro machines and they don’t like water. It sounds like you’re just looking for someone to get mad at other than yourself.
Steve
Wow. Looks like Steve is not really care about their customer and the response is rude. But, while you cause the water damage to the machine, isn’t it normal to pay a fee for that? No brand will cover this for warranty because it is entirely your fault. Anyway, both sides have their problem. Isn’t there another good way to treat customers, is it? I do not understand why people still saying “Apple is bad” because of this case.

I have just upgraded the site to WordPress 2.5, and now having fun with that. It’s been a huge update. I found that it is absolutely amazing while using it. Upgrading is not that hard. And it seems all the existing plug-in can still be used. For readers, you may not notice the difference on the front page, but it definitely looks great in the admin panel.
When I logged into WordPress control panel, it prompted it has the new version. It’s WordPress 2.5. This great blog engine is free and easy to setup and upgrade. The new version has the following new features,
1. Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard
2. Better Dashboard Widgets
3. Multi-file upload with progress bar
4. Password strength meter
5. Concurrent editing protection
and more. For details, you can take a look of their blog here. If you are using WordPress for your blog already, upgrade is easy, still.
You can’t believe how great crazy the iPhone Dev Team is. They have released the iPhone custom firmware tool. (We called it iPhone PWNED). The tool can help to patch the firmware file we downloaded in iTunes (which is like iPhone1,1_1.1.4_4A102_Restore.ipsw). After all, go into iTunes and choose to restore iPhone with the patched firmware.
This is extremely useful because you do not need to run any tools like ZiPhone or iNdependence in the end. Once you restore your iPhone, it will be in jailbroken and unlocked state. Easy and fast. They said for future version of firmware will also work. Looks like no more waiting for jailbreak and unlock.

Apple is giving a new build of iPhone 1.2(or sometimes people called it 2.0) beta to developers. This new build fixes some previous problems. And there is an extra Contact.app icon on the home screen. And for the parental control, you will not be able to use it to control AppStore and iTunes store. You do not need to use iSIM anymore cause iPhone now have the option to import from SIM.
There are many languages in iPhone, including French, German, Nederlands, Italian, Spanish, Portugues, Dansk, Suomi, Norsk Bokmal, Svenska and more. Also, Mail, Contacts, and Calender are all grouped into one category in Preferences. And again, this new version is unlocked according to the report from Gizmodo.
Although this version is unlocked and may be already leaked through BitTorrent, installing this beta version can brick your iPhone for a very big chance. Don’t try it unless you have a spare iPhone.
