Easy Time Machine Tips

Hey guys!! I found a nice little tip that helps you tweak your time machine and make it easier to find but yet also lets you remove it from your dock. I am always trying to find a tool to keep my dock clean of useless icons or applications that I rarely use. Plus finding nifty apps that you completely removed from the dock later down the road is so much fun. You know the feeling when you find a app that you used to use but forgot about! Yipee!

Anyways on with the Tip!

Top 5 Favorite Mac Apps Worth Buying 0

I thought that I would put out a list of the top 5 Mac apps that I love and use daily to give everyone a short review of what works.

1. AppZapper

AppZapper

This is a great little app for those of you who know how much of a pain it is to erase all of the files that a program scatters throughout your hard drive. AppZapper does all the hard work for you and finds the files for you and deletes them. This is also good since their are so many free download trialsout there that you use once and forget about.

2. Pixelmator

Pixelmator
Pixelmator is great if you want to learn how to become more efficient with a photoshop type program. I especially like this program because it is so much cheaper than a version of Photoshop.
3. 1 Password

1Password
This brilliant security app does exactly what it says! You can now have one password for all your online accounts. Some programs claim to be able to do this feature but fall way short. 1Password works with Safari,Flock, and Firefox. Once you have saved the password you can access it from any browser that use.

4. Transmit

Transmit
Great tool that I found from a post on Appleintellect.com But I also use a free tool called Filezilla that I have on my PC.

5. VectorDesigner

Vector Design
Great designer tool that lets you create vector shapes and designs. I especially like the text on line feature that lets you attach a shape with any text that you like.

To update to Safari 3.1, use Apple Software Update or a standalone installer. You only need to use one of these methods to update your computer.

Software Update

Download the update installer and run it manually. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once.

iPhone Hack Kit 2

Hello there fellow Apple enthusiasts.

I would like to say that this blog has been a little biased to a brilliant little invention that you may know about called the iPhone. I promise to do more talking about the other wonderful products that Apple has to offer in some later post. BUT.. for now lets focus on what is important… and that is the iPhone and the various ways that you can make it truly your own iPhone. I mean after all that is probably the main reason why you are here in the first place.

I found a nice little resource that has all of the iPhone tools in one place for your download pleasure. It is called Jailbreak 101. A nifty site called Appletizeme.com has just recently created a new forum for its large community of readers. Also as a special thank you to its forum members Appletizeme.com has given some of its members a great package of Jailbreak software that you cannot find in one place anywhere on the net.

So if you want to upgrade/downgrade/hand grenade your iPhone check out this post and participate in the fun!

iPhone Hack Kit

Dual Boot Hack by iPhone Dev Team 1

I know this is a Apple Tweaks: Tweak Anything Apple Blog but man this iPhone craze is so fascinating. So here goes with another iPhone Tweak using a dual boot trick that the fellas from the iPhone Dev team have been using for a while. This hack is not for the squeemish since it entails some cutting, slicing, pasting, and more coding than I would know anything about.

So if you are into the major scripting and coding he is a cool link to check out! But then again if you are into the major hacking then you probably already know all about this release :)

iPhone 1.1.4 Helpful Reads. and Hints 0

Sorry I have been gone for a while… but is anybody really there! Haha… (sigh) as I cry alone in my room :) . But anyways here are some helpful links to some good reads for those iPhone hackers out there. The iPhone Dev team portal is probably the first place to start, since they kick ass at pwning the iPhone day after day.

Get your iPhone tools HERE

Enjoy

* The iPhone Wiki – The site that started it all for me. Lots of great technical information and history there, but unfortunately spammers have also invaded the site recently, making life difficult for the maintainers. (Now Defunct)

* The Hackint0sh iPhone Forums- Started up around the same time as the iPhone Dev Wiki, so again, a wealth of information and helpful people here.

* iPhone Dev Team Portal – Site for the original iPhone dev team. The people who started it all.

* iPhone Elite Dev Team - The elite iPhone dev team. Used to be quite active and open with information.

* Geohot’s Blog – Geohot is the first person to have a SIM unlocked iPhone (outside of Apple). Knows the iPhone hardware as well as the Apple engineers. Though his software skills are still in question… (hey, I cleaned up bits of the fake IPSF server code for my own use, so I’ve seen his code) ;)

* George’s Blog – No, this is not Geohot’s blog! ;) But it’s still a good resource for understanding the technical details behind iPhone hacking discoveries.

* The Touchdev Wiki – Same structure as the iPhone Dev Wiki, but for the iPod Touch (or iTouch).

* iPhone Toolchain Project Page – Essential for iPhone application developers. Just make sure to release a standalone version of your killer iPhone app, ok? ;)

* anySIM Project Page – The source code for anySIM. Interesting to me, maybe to you too?

* Nate True’s iPhone Utils and Info - Nate did a lot of the early iPhone hacking and maintained iBrickr for a while (kinda like iNdependence for Windows with a fancier interface — I’ve never been much of a UI tweaker — I enjoy the technical details more). Still a useful site for files and technical info.

* Erica Sadun’s Blog – Erica is one of the first major iPhone application developers and continues to produce interesting apps for the iPhone. Not to mention she has a loyal following amongst the sexually frustrated, male-dominated crowd of would-be iPhone hackers.
