How To Schedule The Opening of Apps

Mac OS X has got an application called "iCal" that let's you do all kinds of "calendar stuff", but also A LOT MORE. One example would be that it can: schedule the opening of a specific app(s).

How to make it do so?

1. Open iCal (Macintosh HD->Applications->iCal)
2. Make a new event (right click a date and choose "new event")
3. Get the information concerning the new event (make sure the new event is highlighted, then use: "command + i")
4. Change the name of your new event, then the date and time that you want to schedule the app to open, then choose: "Alarm->Open file->What ever application you want"
5. Under "Open file", click the "iCal", then click "Other..." then change it to "What ever application you want"
6. Now you can customize everything in the new event that you want to
7. Close the "New event" window

Congratulations! Now the application that you chose will automatically open at the time and date you chose!

New Apple Features - Thunderbolt

For link on Apple's page: http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/
For link on Intel's page: http://www.intel.com/technology/io/thunderbolt/index.htm

Thunderbolt is a new port made by Intel (USB 2.0, Firewire 800, USB 3.0) on the new MacBook Pros. It's up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than Firewire 800 ( And still twice as fast as USB 3.0).

"One small port. One giant leap in possibilities.

MacBook Pro now gives you access to a world of high-resolution displays and high-speed peripherals with one compact port. That’s because Thunderbolt is based on two fundamental technologies: PCI Express and DisplayPort.

PCI Express is the technology that links all the high-performance components in a Mac. And it’s built into Thunderbolt. Which means you can connect external devices like RAID arrays and video capture solutions directly to MacBook Pro — and get PCI Express performance. That’s a first for notebooks. Thunderbolt also provides 10 watts of power to peripherals, so you can tackle workstation-class projects on the go. With PCI Express technology, you can use existing USB and FireWire peripherals — even connect to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks — using simple adapters.

And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, the video standard for high-resolution displays, any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. To connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display, just use an existing adapter."

"Powerful technology from a powerful collaboration.

Thunderbolt began at Intel Labs with a simple concept: create an incredibly fast input/output technology that just about anything can plug into. After close technical collaboration between Intel and Apple, Thunderbolt emerged from the lab to make its first appearance in MacBook Pro.

Intel co-invented USB and PCI Express, which have become widely adopted technologies for data transfer. Apple invented FireWire and was instrumental in popularizing USB. Their collective experience has made Thunderbolt the most powerful, most flexible I/O technology ever in a personal computer."

Jailbreaking Your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad

Jailbreaking, what is it? Is it illegal? What does it do?

Things to know:

iDevice-> iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad

Jailbreak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking

Unlock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#SIM_Unlocking_vs._Jailbreaking

Jailbreaking is a way for your iDevice (Apple's iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad) to work the way you want it to. For example, you can "unlock" iPhones, so that you can use any operator with them, and not just the one(s) available for iPhones in your country. Other examples of what jailbreaking is used for: all kinds of "Cydia apps" (applications only available from an application called "Cydia", which can be installed after having jailbroken the iDevice), +others...

Jailbreaking is NOT illegal, but however, downloading copyrighted software (applications) is as illegal as downloading copyrighted movies, games and other for free on the computer. Unfortunately, it is a major factor, as many jailbreak their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad only for getting normally paid apps for free. I am NOT encouraging you to do so, but will post tutorials about how to do it, but ONLY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES!!!

Now... Go to THIS page for the tutoriel on how to jailbreak an iDevice.
