Good tip for those in college- try to see if your university has an International Society or something similar- The one near me is mainly for people with different languages who want to hang out together and practice speaking in a non-classroom environment. It's always good times.
This brings me to a question I've been meaning to ask someonem but it sounds a bit weird- does anyone else find themselves speaking other languages better while (slightly) inebriated? People always tell me my conversations get much more natural after a few beers, I think it makes me stop "translating" and forces me to just "talk".
Yes, bacteria and gasoline and marshmallows and hugs can all be dangerous in unchecked amounts. Neither here nor there.
That said, I do think the best thing to come out of this is it'll give Amazon, Google, B&N and whoever else the push to provide better competing digital textbook services. Apple doesn't always provide the best services, but they are certainly the best at leading markets into new territories.
As with pretty much everything Apple announces, people all over the internet will come up with uncountable reasons why their new product or service is doomed to fail, and it'll go ahead and be a massive success anyway.
Whited00r was a much quicker and simpler process, required nothing further to unlock so any sim could be used, and includes some useful apps such as a video recorder, a pseudo-newstand and a pseudo- iCloud (seems to be mainly a Dropbox client, haven't looked at it much). It all runs very smoothly.
Downside is, it's not iOS5- it's a modified version of 3.1.3 . This means there are an awful lot of apps that simply won't install- they require iOS 4 or greater (Netflix, Eye-Fi and Words with Friends being the ones I remember not working off the top of my head). Also, the App Store must be accessed through Safari, which I don't particularly trust. Some features, such as Folders, seem to be missing.
The other 3G with the normal jailbroken 4.2.1 runs a little slower, and crashes on occasion. However, all of the apps install. You do have to go through the extra trouble of Ultrasn0w to unlock it, but that's a once-off thing. It also seems to take a hit on battery life, but I haven't got any real proof to back that up.
All in all, depending on which apps you need and which you can do without, whited00r is a perfectly good choice. I'm going to use my Jailbroken 3G as my main phone and the Whited00r one as my backup/music and video device but that could change if the jailbroken 3G proves to be too slow for day to day use.
I have however had good luck by attaching a hard drive to the back of my laptop's monitor- use a case over the laptop if you don't want it to always look like ass.
There's ways to filter out all the porn ones. Also ways to filter out anything BUT the porn ones, so win-win.
I used to use Bowtie to control my iPhone in a stereo the other side of the roomm this seems even better.
What?
