Line has form in front of Apple store at NYC well before iphone release date. You won’t be seeing this in Canada.
Although it's not the first release and ample supply is expected, a queue has reportedly begun outside of Apple's Fifth Avenue retail store to buy iPhone 3G a full week before its release. As of mid-afternoon on Friday, a…
Apple has posted a Support Document that explains exactly how to replace your original iPhone with a new 3G iPhone. Basically there are two tracks: 1) In the US you don’t need your original SIM as your original “account information will be transferred to iPhone 3G’s included SIM when you purchase iPhone 3G.”
What I find amusing is that somehow what works (and is sensible) for non-US iPhone owners somehow just doesn't apply to us. Why should anyone have to be worried about a freakin' contract renewal when, in the GSM world, it…
Some of Apple’s top executives, including Steve Jobs, have once again been accused of bad faith in backdating company shares.

wtf?
Why is “App” capitalized in the title, but nowhere else?One product it could be - say you have basically a processor that runs as a peripheral to say, a Mac Pro - connect it via fire wire and just use it as instead of some VM….

It has become apparent during the last few hours that Comcast, everyones favorite ISP (especially in the BitTorrent world) has been hacked. The message on the homepage read: KRYOGENIKS EBK and DEFIANT RoXed COMCAST.?
In the late eighties when AT&T was a monopoly they were the biggest cocks. Regularly cursing and or hanging up on customers who called for tech support. Because where were you going to turn if you didn’t like the service? It…

Want to write shorter, cleaner code? Need to fit as much as you can in one expression? Prefer a quick dose of hacks to spending the rest of your life reading the docs? This article will show you how.
Seriously, there's tons of good stuff here.
In Python, 'and' and 'or' are complex creatures. and-ing two expressions together doesn't just return True if both are true and False if both are false. Instead, 'and' returns the first false value, or the last…
If it is one thing Apple is known for, above all else, it is the design of Apple products. From the very beginning Apple has shown a different level of attention to design detail than many of its competitors, and throughout its history, the company has been a constant source of design innovation.

Design is concerned with seeking visual solutions to problems, and planning how to correctly arrange elements. An artist has the same search for the best way to express an idea. Although there may be no rules in art, here are a set of 27 guidelines to help in the creation of some visually successful work.
12. Emphasis We are constantly barraged with images from advertisements, TV, books, magazines, newspapers and the Internet. We take the abundance for granted and this makes the designer/artists job that much more difficult to get the attention of…

The new version of DiggBeep is out! Now “popular” stories will be displayed using a blue background to separate them from the “upcoming” ones and when you double click on a story it will open the story page instead of the…
“Modify the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) to support user verification through keystroke-dynamics processing. Create and store a one-way encrypted hash of your keystroke patterns when entering your user name. Add code to GDM to read current keystroke patterns and permit a user to log in when the characteristics are a match. Many commercial …”
Once you have developed a key-release interval setup that you have practiced repeatedly, it's time to create a repository for the GDM modification to read. Copy the cryptographic hash representing your preferred timings, such as nathan…
There may be times when you have to lock a particular piece of software on your Linux system (this is sometimes called pinging). Plain and simple, there are certain software packages on your system that you won’t want to upgrade. The most typical reason for this is that the upgrade ends up breaking something…
