Apple doesn’t want your hard earned cash

Posted on 29 October 2007 by

Or your gift cards for that matter. Since when did one of the few nations to somewhat successfully run on a fiat monetary system stop accepting cash anywhere as an acceptable form of payments, let alone in the retail industry?

Notes syncing a no go

Posted on 26 October 2007 by

Yeah, not a big surprise here, that notes syncing feature that was maybe going to happen, well it didn’t. Really it was just a rather big typo by Apple, but Tiger was released, and the Notes are syncing with your iPhone. I am sure someone could script something to automatically email them to you, and then they’d be synced, sort of, ... continued »

So if you have hacked your iPhone and have access to the drive contents, feel free to go to ... continued »

Posted on 26 October 2007 by

That Apple gets a cut of the monthly subscriber love from AT&T is common knowledge, but neither party has been too keen to share the exact details of just how much of your iPhone rental passes straight through the carrier's fingers and into Cupertino's coffers.  Now, thanks to an obscure rule regarding "deferred revenue" - basically when one company promises ... continued »
