Steve Jobs, one of the most revolutionary inventors of the last century is no more. As one person who’s used products created by Steve and his talented team for the last 20 years, I can say he’s truly changed my life for the better. And even though I didn’t personally know him, he shall be missed. The world is a little less sparkly without him. RIP Steve.

How to Lie, Cheat, and Steal Your Way to a Perfect FlightInternet access isn’t particularly cheap when you’re getting it on an airplane. In fact, the cost of access for a single flight can be comparable to what some people pay for basic DSL for an entire month. We’ve looked at how to get cheap or free inflight wi-fi before, but one tip has stood up to the test of time.
Because you’re less likely to consume the same amount of data on your mobile phone as you would on a laptop, your phone gets a cheaper rate. It’s not much cheaper, but it usually works out to about 20% off. If you want to pay this lower rate but still use your laptop (or tablet, which is considered a computer) you just have to identify your web browser as a phone when you sign up. This is pretty easy to do. If you’re running Safari, you can select your browser’s user agent from the Debug menu. If you need to enable the Debug menu, you can do so with the following terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Changing the user agent in Firefox is also pretty easy if you install the User Agent Switcher add-on.
Once you’ve identified yourself as a mobile phone and signed up, you can switch back to a normal user agent and use the connection normally.
Looks like the iPad might make it to our house on or before the release date of 0403! Oh and hey, that’s a grand thing as it’s Dan’s birthday! I guess the early adopters will get their new toy on schedule.
Here is an awesome story about a boy and his iPhone. One day it got stolen by an evil man. The boy was sad but determined to get his iPhone back. Read this most excellent retelling of the events. No really, do it. It’s hysterically wonderful.
And here it is, the new tablet from Apple, the iPad. Probably not in stores yet as the online Apple store is not down.
