With ability to have processes run “in the background”, how awesome would it be to have an application that could record your iOS device screen (while you are using another app ), and record your voice audio, to create screen casts? Yeah that would rule. Especially on the iPad! What do you think?

Here’s the headlines

1. iPhone hits 17 more countries Friday, including mine.
2. Jailbreaking and carrier unlocking is legal, pirating software is NOT, and if your jailbreak it may void you’re warranty.
3. Canada’s iPhone is unlocked.
4. Apple updates iMac line, introduces the Magic Trackpad (sooo getting one), and a battery charger?
5. Apple begins shipping bumper cases to UK customers.

The iPhone is suppose to arrive in Canada in 4 days and my current provider has announced NOTHING!

Rogers’ front page has said iPhone 4 coming soon since the Apple announcement of iPhone 4, and now that we are 4 days away there is still no word from them regarding pricing or upgrade options for current iPhone users. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure last year we knew prior to the launch date whether we were eligible, and we knew pricing. Bell Mobility has announced the July 30th launch date on their site, whether or not this translates to their customers knowing price and upgrade options I’m not sure. All I know is that I’ve had to wait for the second tier launch date from Apple, and I’m getting a little anxious as to whether I can actually upgrade.

Get it together Rogers!

“Can I burn photos to disc or do I need something like Neuro?”

Burning photos to a disc is very simple. Here’s how:

1. Create a folder on your desktop and (or anywhere really) and name it whatever you want, something appropriate to the photos I suppose.
2. Copy the photos you want to burn to the folder (if they are in iPhoto just drag them out and it will make a copy).
3. Right click (control click) and chose “Burn “name of the folder” to disc”.

After much frustration I’ve finally settled on a theme for macintom.ca.  I wanted one that had link/social media integration, pages, Google Analytics, and of course… I wanted to like the look of it.  Oh yeah, and it must NOT crash on the iPad because of java script.  I was using one I really liked, but it crashed Safari on the iPad 98% of the time.

I’d like to give a shout-out to Woothemes, they have some REALLY nice Tumblr themes, I’m now using two of them for different blogs.
