I think quoting myself in a post I just made, applies here:

Also, several friends and lots of work colleagues have iPhones or other Apple devices. I never get rabid anti Apple at them, that's just retarded.

I think their PCs are just overpriced standard hardware with DRM limitations, but the iPhone is a genuinely good device and have played around with one for a bit. I just don't like the lock-in and if this subject comes up in conversation, I just politely tell them so.

About a year back, I found a forum that was specifically created as an Apple hate forum. While I agreed with their views on Apple, I think there's something wrong with basing your whole existence just on hating a company and doesn't do your stress levels any good - especially if they become ever more successful, because then it really rubs it in. They wanted moderators too, but I passed. And no, I can't remember the name of that forum. I just remember that the page style had a lot of things in red.

Replaced the transmission in his Jeep. It's a straightforward job and the deal was pretty even.

Timestamps?

I know this is a Old topic but My Bro has an Iphone 3GS with the latest iOS and iMessage, he was wondering if there is a way to enable timestamps on every message he sends and every message he receives. We cant find anything pertaining to it in the settings. Unless if there is a tweak or app that does that, what would be the most popular/trusted/tried/tested version?

I'm ashamed to even post here

My brother just got me an iPad 2 as a gift Friday, and I've been playing with it a little bit. It seems nice, like a big iPhone but faster.

I tried to get my iPhone 4S replaced yeaterday and today but somehow one of the liquid indicators tripped (bottom one, not sure how since it's never gotten dropped in water or anything like that, must be from perspiration ), so I didn't get it. Gotta wait now ....

I need to get my iPod touch 64gb back since I let my other brother borrow it for his trip to New Zealand. I haven't seen it since in months, but it has a lot of good movies on it

i mostly use my ipad2 as a remote for xbmc. the app is called constellation and is worth the few bucks they charge. the rest of the time we use it for facetiming family.

link to the app with screenshots.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xbmc...437807301?mt=8

love the media organization and all of the art. people think i spent thousands on my setup lmao!

ios 6.x jailbreak is just around the corner (next 48 hours or so)

http://evasi0n.com/


anyone wanting to update, i really suggest downloading the firmware file manually via the links here: (these are apples files/servers)
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750

and then clicking update in iTunes while holding down shift, to select the file. this removes the annoyance of itunes going 'oops the servers not working' and making you download the file 3 times like it did to me :/

jailbreaking is fun and all, but why ruin a perfectly good device like an ipad?

How do you enjoy those Beats? My ears are not as sensitive I think from all the years shooting without ear protection. Plus I don't think my iPod touch would do anything any justice.
