I was sitting at a coffee shop today I was disappointed I forgot to ask for the wifi key. Now I could totally sit here and crack the WEP key, but that takes precious CPU and battery life and well, I just wasn’t that interested in getting the tools to compile for my Mac. This led me to wax poetic about the days I used to have a tether to my iPhone 3G and I thought … “Man, I would sure like to be able to tether again;” but the last time, that didn’t go over so well. The last time I installed the tethering packages from Cydia, I lost access to voicemail for 2 weeks, couldn’t get them to uninstall, yada-yada-yada, annoying experience. But today, I actually had time to think about how to solve this issue and then it hit me: I’m a moron, I should have seen this last year. Five minutes later, I was on the net.

Just because I spent so much time looking for this last night and found so many broken carrier data files, I figured I’d keep this around for me.
Instructions
- Make a backup of your /Library/iTunes/iTunes Carrier Support/ATT_US.ipcc file.
- Quit iTunes
- Open Terminal and type “defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE”
- Open iTunes, select your phone and press “check for updates” while holding down the ‘Alt’ key on your keyboard. You will be prompted to select a file. This is the one that worked for me after numerous other failures. (found in gizmodo’s cache somewhere)
- After you load the file, make sure you restart the phone
Instructions for Windows are the same, but you’ll have to use the Windows Paths for stuff (C:\Program Files\iTunes\blah blah blah).
Right, and I’m not responsible for you running up a trillion dollar bill with AT&T or if your spine curves or if your teeth yellow or if you drink rat poison because you fell in love with a rough trick named Jim or anything else as a result of you trying to do something to your bejebus phone 
Dear Facebook,
Your iPhone app is great … almost. Please fix the extremely annoying bug that doesn’t allow me to use apostrophes. It’s really annoying to have to type out “does not” or “do not” in place of “doesn’t” or “don’t.” I know, I could override the auto suggest and go with “dont,” but that just pisses me off. I already commit enough infractions against the English language without purposefully littering misspellings all over just because your application has to stupidly provide a server error every time I include an apostrophe in a comment.
Sincerely,
Wyatt
I don’t know why I thought to do this especially since I think taking pictures on a cell phone is relatively stupid; however, I had the parts laying around and figured, “Why don’t I just see what that looks like?”
Supplies
- Disposable Camera: $0.00 (ask your grocery store for an empty one)
- iPhone: $0.00 (fell off truck)
- iPhone Soft-case (mine is an Incipio and it fell off the same truck)
Instructions
- Disassemble the camera and salvage the len(s) without zapping yourself. If you really want, you can zap yourself because some people like that … you freaks.
- Put the lens inside the soft-case
- Put your iPhone in the soft-case
- Take macro pictures at a glorious 2.0 megapixels
Update: After writing this, I actually took the time to see if I was original as I though did a quick search at instructables.com. Turns out, I’m not that creative: Cheap iphone macro lens for barcode scanning
Super iPhone Blog can kiss my ass. Their crappy spam bot decided to visit my site and this is the result:
If you can’t read it, here’s what they wrote:

And my response:
I don’t care if you’re going to rip off my work; however, if you’re going to do it, at least take the time to write a spam bot that can actually do your job with a few more brain-cells that you. Your crap-ass rendition of my post doesn’t even come close to making a grammatically sound or remotely cognitive thought.
Write a better spam bot or just suck less in general. In fact, just leave the Internet before someone revokes your day-pass.
Go suck a spoon jackass. All of your links have been purged from my site and if I find anymore, I’m going to myspace-goatse “hack” your crap-ass spam bot.
I finally managed to get a functional “hello world” app created for the iPhone and added up on my site. The problem I was having was not only were several tutorials out on the Internet incorrect (i.e., using really old unsupported techniques), but Apple’s code didn’t quite seem to give me enough information.
I started mine completely from scratch with an Xcode iPhone view based application, went through the process of adding my IBOutlet connecting it up, and then took the extra step of exercising some memory management in Cocoa Touch (something I couldn’t find many places). I’ve tacked it up on my iPhone development section for your viewing pleasure.
