Funny Story. I was walking around South Sea Street Port when I wanted to take a picture of the ships that were docked there. I reached into my bag and started to feel around for my camera. I kept feeling around and it wasn't there! I was pissed off to high heaven. I was so sure that my camera popped out of my bag some time during the course of the day. Arghhhh!

I continued with the rest of my night annoyed at the fact that I might have lost my camera. My beautiful, beautiful camera. Later that night, I finally came back home and there it was, sitting on my dresser. I was embarrassed and relieved at the same time.

The moral of the story? Get on this blog and get a great deal for a camera! Today's deal is the wildly popular Canon SD 1100. If I lost my camera, I would definitely pick this up!

There has been a heated discussion recently about the iPhone App "Iamrich" which costs a whopping $999 and does nothing too mind blowing. Critics ridicule the 8 people that actually purchased this application, while those 8 people simply want them to stop hating on their benjamins. You can argue on both sides of course. However, Apple took it on their own hands and pulled the application out of the store. You know what? This could be a collectible now!

Here's a guided walkthrough of the application. You decide. Would you buy this for $999?



Personally, I don't need a $999 app to tell me this. It's not my money, so I'm not hating.

This morning, the iPhone Dev Team finally released Pwnage Tool 2.0.2 which jailbreaks/unlocks iPhone firmware 2.0.1. I remember the hours I consumed downgrading my firmware from 2.0 to 1.1.4 and then finally upgrading to 2.0 when Pwnage 2.0 was released a month ago. After I got back from the beach and heard about Bernie Mac's passing, I decided to take the plunge and Pwn my iPhone 2G to 2.0.1.

Instead of downloading the actual Pwnage Tool 2.0.2, I just downloaded the custom firmware that has already been patched and proceeded to run a restore in DFU mode (very important). After 15 minutes, voila! The App Store, Cydia and Installer Beta 4 were now living in harmony.

The only problems I ran into was that the mail application stopped working. It was a quick fix, though. Go to Cydia and download BossPrefs and fix DIR Permissions and you should be good to go. Also, I had to restore my backup three times before it finally stuck. It was so weird. It took so long for one backup to be restored, and I painstakingly had to do it three times. If that happens to you, just complete a backup restore once, and unplug it. Plug it in again and if it prompts you to restore a backup, click set up for a new iPhone. That should solve that problem.

I didn't really notice any significant improvements with this firmware yet. I guess we're all really waiting for 2.1 to come out which is in developer's beta. Apple really needs to get their act together.

All-in-all thanks iPhone Dev Team!

-->Pwnage 2.0.2 doesn't unlock iPhone 3G just yet.

I don't know what to say. I'm shocked. R.I.P. Bernie (50). You will not be forgotten.

UPDATE:

Isaac Hayes (65), too? Are you serious? R.I.P. I really can't wrap my head around all of this.

I saw a headline in the paper today "Heaven just got funnier", referring to the death of Bernie Mac. Now, the headline would probably read "Heaven just got funnier and more soulful".
