I found this article on how to fix OS 3.0 battery issues with your iPhone. I have yet to try it, but it looks promising. Check it out at and let me know how it worked for you.
I found this how-to so one can sync his/her IPhone with two or more computers. It’s a hack, but it works.

I found instructions on how to create ringtones via iTunes, but found an easier way using GarageBand.
These instructions, BTW, only work on a Mac.
I’m not going to include the nitty-gritty details, but all you have to do is:
1. Open GarageBand (4.11) and iTunes (7.5 and up).
2. Drag-and-drop the song you want to turn into a ringtone.
3. Turn on “Cycle” and set the start end end times (usually 30 seconds).
4. Click on Share | Send Ringtone to iTunes.
5. You simply need to sync the Ringtones with your iPhone and that’s it.
Enjoy and choose an awesome ringtone, please.
My recent acquisition of an iPhone has simplified my digital world tremendously. I found myself using my laptop less as the iPhone has most of the capabilities I need – email, surfing, Facebook, IM, etc.
The only missing capability or app was an easy way to post to my blog, which I haven’t posted to in a very long time. Well, the search is over. The WordPress folks built an iPhone-specific tool. Check it out at:

Enjoy and happy blogging! Oh, and Happy New Year!
I’ve been encountering continious wifi connection issues for a while now (6 months at least), specifically, my MacBook Pro would lose connection but when I turn the Airport off then on it would be OK. So many, many months ago I did some research and found it to be due to the AirPort Extreme Update 2008-001, which I rolled back to AirPort Extreme Update 2007-004. It fixed the connectivity issues for a couple of months, but recently I’ve been experiencing it again.
Looking through the logs again, I found this blog post: Macbook Pro: Network connectivity just disappears. He was getting the exact mDNSResponder errors, such as:
mDNSResponder: SetupAddr invalid sa_family 0
mDNSResponder: getifaddrs ifa_netmask for fw0(7) Flags 8863 Family 2 169.254.59.71 has different family: 0
The culprit: Apple’s Bonjour service. To disable it, here’s the complete how-to article, but the command you need to run is:
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
Hope this helps someone who’s experiencing the same issue. Ciao!
