Getting More iPhone Home Screens – And Keeping Them

A couple of weeks back, I wrote Temporarily Get More iPhone Home Screens Via Cunning Bug Exploit, but had heard staying away from the iTunes Applications tab within my iPhone was probably a Very Good Idea. Reader Larry Pressnell noted that since the most recent iTunes update, his extra screens have been accessible in iTunes.

Cult of Mac Favorite: MobileStacks Is the Best Reason To Jailbreak. Period.

I must say that it lives up to the [...]

In case you were wondering, Steve Wozniak (pictured is now confirmed to be a competitor on the next season of “Dancing with the Stars,” alongside Steve-O, Jewel, and many other formerly famous people. Because he couldn’t just start working for a new company, which was announced last week. He needed to make a series of embarrassing appearances on TV.

Edit: No offense intended in link; was more looking out for people on the internet who haven’t figured out what the suffix “rotic” means at this point. Have revised to reflect.

    Hmm. Definitely not my cup of teas either but, please, lose the homphobia.

    You wouldn’t have said the same about a link to a gadget-holding dolly bird on the cover of Stuff, or some other magazine for men without any girlie action in their lives,,,

    We feel deflowered and abused… Take our graphic and then slap us. Not very nice behavior for a first date, Pete. LOL

    But thanks for the support Jeff!

    Look at the joy on Wozniack/s face He is having a good time. I suspect that at one time, if not now, he could have bought the judges and put them into a computer game where they could build and program and compete with geeks. Perhaps they could also learn humility. He radiates joy and working hard in a physical way. Three cheers to his joy and his complete self assurance.
