Hi all,
I got my iPhone 3G yesterday from Optus and thought I’d share screenshots of (most) default applications with you, as well as some from the App Store.
For larger and better quality photos, click them and be redirected to Skitch.

Many, many more after the jump.

In a recent ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) meeting, they approved a bunch of new top level domains to add to the famous .com, .net, .org and other variants.
The Corporation is allowing customers, as of 2009, to register a whole top-level domain after a thorough application process. That means, yes, Apple can register .mac.
On June 9, Apple made known that they were swapping from their old .Mac to MobileMe, yet this recent development means that they may have been able to finally give their users what they were after: a true .mac web address.
There is no doubt, however, that Apple will still apply for the .mac domain and use it for it’s own purposes such as promoting products.
It seems as though Apple really lost in this case - or are they likely to surprise us all?
Haveanotherapple.mac has a nice ring, doesn’t it?
What’s your thoughts?
Comment away.
On June 9 through to 13 numerous items were announced by Steve Jobs, including the iPhone 3G, iPhone Software 2.0, MobileMe, AppStore and more.
In just over two days we will see these items rolled out on the shelves to many waiting lines, some of which started last week.
I came across a timeline of the iPhone the other day, and it’s definitely worth a look to see where it’s come from. Head over to iPhone Gold to check it out.
I, personally am looking forward to iPhone 3G (as it is the first iPhone to be released in Australia) and MobileMe. Even for a beefed up .Mac, the new online software by Apple is sure to be a hit.
What are you looking forward to most on July 11 (or later, even if it is expected that all of the above will be released on the same day)? Comment away.
It is common knowledge to the “geek world” that when you delete a file, it is not actually removed as such from your hard drive, simply the link to the file is removed, and at a certain stage, it is over written with your new data.
On PC, there are numerous programs to ‘permanently delete files’. However, all this does is creates a random document and replaces your existing data with dummy text. There are programs for Mac also, however there is one built right on into Mac OS X.
Remember that after you permanently delete files, there is no chance of recovering them, even with programs that allow you to recover items you have deleted.
In Mac OS X, you can overwrite these files 7 times from the trash. Move the items you wish to permanently delete to the trash, open the trash, then select Finder - > Secure Empty Trash.
You will then be prompted with a warning, read this carefully, you can’t go back!
Then you will have a normal emptying trash screen. Be patient, securely emptying the trash can take a long time.
Please comment and digg.
Even if Apple’s official “Where to buy an iPhone site” [Click here to view] only has Optus and Vodafone, Telstra has released today that they will also carry the iPhone.
Telstra’s site states that they will run the iPhone 3G on their native Next G™ Network, the only telecommunications company in Australia to offer this service.
More details are likely to be announced soon, such as plans. Optus and Vodafone are likely to follow suit with such announcements.
View Telstra’s iPhone site here, as well as Optus’ and Vodafone’s site.
For those users using iCal and would like to upload it online, yet don’t have a .Mac (or now MobileMe) account, then this step-by-step tutorial should help you.
First, in cPanel 11 (not supported in 10 or below, as it requires WEBDAV support), select the feature entitled “Webdisk” found under the “Files” subheading.

When you first booted up your Mac, you would have been welcomed by a classy presentation with "Welcome" written in a bunch of foreign languages. Unsure what these videos are? Watch the demos at the bottom of this article. If you want to watch this video again, follow these steps for Tiger and Leopard.
Open up finder and Click Go->Go to folder. Type this in:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources/
A folder should pop up, and two files should be inside:
intro.mov
intro-sound.mp3
As you can see, unfortunately they are two separate files. To fix this, simply put them both in iMovie and watch it that way. You may need to trim the audio track as it may go for longer than the video!
For a demo, here are two video files (click the image of the video you wish to see):
Thanks to Annie for the Tiger video and audio file.
Photo Booth, whilst having no ‘useful’ purpose, can be a fun tool for kids and adults alike. With version 2.0.1 the program gives the user the ability to use different backgrounds; such as fish, the Eiffel Tower or one of your own pictures. These pictures however sometimes look distorted or have your original background start to appear in the photo.
Here are the five most common reasons for this:

Leopard has a fancy new feature for Dashboard: Webclips. Webclips allows you to view many webpages at once, or parts of them, through dashboard. However, one feature that is missing is refreshing the webclips automatically. This requires you to update them manually, and here’s how:
Click once on the webclip you wish to update.
Press Command+R.
The webclip should now have updated.
As a default, Microsoft Word for Mac adds automatic paragraphing, so when you press return, you will go to a new paragraph apposed to a new line. This comes a unique, welcome feature for some users, but for others it is seen as a nuisance. This article will explain how to turn off this feature.
In Word, press “Format” in the menu bar, followed by “Style”.
The rest is after the jump… Continue reading »
