A new version of iSync for iPhone/iPod Touch has been released
2007-12-03 20:23:00
According to a post over at everythingiCafe, user francisois has created a GUI application to allow wireless syncing between your computer and iPhone/iPod Touch . You simply specify IP addresses of both devices, and the two folders to synchronize together. To use it, you will first have to install the BSD Subsystem + OpenSSH, which can be easily done once your device has been jailbroken and loaded with Installer.app.You can set the syncing interval from either 20, 30 or 60 minutes. However, there are several limitations with this app; for example, your iPhone (or iPod Touch) has to be turned on and unlocked, and the syncing only works with one folder only. Some of its upcoming features include syncing with iTunes, photos, Safari bookmarks, and contacts. Have you tried this application yet?[EverythingiCafe]

More Young Americans Are Contracting HIV
2007-11-30 18:59:00
In the 26 years since scientists first spotted AIDS in America, millions of dollars have been poured into outreach efforts aimed at keeping young people clear of HIV, the virus that causes the disease.But on the eve of World AIDS Day, a disturbing statistical fact has emerged in this country: The number of newly infected teens and young adults is suddenly on the rise.And the question is, why?According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 2001 to 2005 (the latest years available), the number of new cases of HIV infection diagnosed among 15-to-19-year-olds in the United States rose from 1,010 in 2001, held steady for the next three years, then jumped 20 percent in 2005, to 1,213 cases.For young people aged 20 to 24, cases of new infection have climbed steadily, from 3,184 in 2001 to 3,876 in 2005.Experts say a number of factors may be at play, including the fact that many HIV-infected patients are now being kept healthy with powerful drugs -- making AID...

Former "Baywatch" star and pin-up queen Pamela Anderson says she plans to quit her showbusiness career within five years and retire to her native Canada, it was reported Thursday.Anderson, 40, told USA Today that despite regular movie and television offers she was too "lazy" to continue working and wanted to settle down with her third husband Rick Salomon, whom she wed in Las Vegas last month."I get offers to do movies and TV all the time. I say no to everything. Drives my agent crazy," Anderson told the daily."But I'm lazy. I don't want to work. I want to be with my kids," the mother of two added.Anderson is currently appearing on stage in Las Vegas with Dutch magician Hans Klok, although the show is due to end its run on December 8.Anderson said she expects to work in show business for five more years before eventually quitting.

Man Tires To Deposit Fake $1 Million bill in his account
2007-11-28 14:50:00
A bank teller in Clearwater had a million reasons not to open an account for an Augusta, Ga., man Monday, authorities said. Alexander D. Smith, 31, was charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of forgery after he walked into the bank and tried to open an account by depositing a fake $1 million bill, said Aiken County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Michael Frank.The employee refused to open the account and called police while the man started to curse at bank workers, Frank said.The second forgery charge came after investigators learned Smith bought several cartons of cigarettes from a nearby grocery store with a stolen check, Frank said.The federal government has never printed a million-dollar bill, Frank said.

France's Orange expects to sell 100,000 iPhones by year-end
2007-11-27 20:59:00
Orange Wireless?s CEO, Didier Lombard, stated that he expects sales numbers to reach ?a little under 100,000? by December 31 - amounting to approximately 3,000 iPhones being sold every day.And, to help move more iPhones than its European counterparts in Germany, Lombard has promised that Orange will be selling unlocked iPhones at a price that?s significantly lower? than the 999 Euro ($$1,485 USD) price tag that T-Mobile German is charging for their iPhone. Recall that the iPhone?s future in Franc e was put in jeopardy due to French telecom regulations that required all wireless carriers to offer unlocked versions of their handset.We think it makes sense that France?s Orange would offer the unlocked version of the iPhone at a lower price-point than Germany?s T-Mobile. It seems that T-Mobile is only offering the unlocked iPhone to comply with a temporary court-ordered injunction, which T-Mobile is actively seeking to get overturned - so unlocked iPhones in Germany are something of a st...

Saudi Prince Buys Big Airplane
2007-11-13 16:56:00
You know, for all the cool gadgets and accouterments your place has, I sincerely doubt it?s anything compared to this Saudi Prince ?s. Airbus said yesterday that it will outfit one of its A380 jets for Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. The ?flying mansion,? as it?s known, costs some $300 million and comes with a free coffee maker. (Those princes love their joe!) The plane is big: each wing can hold 70 cars and is as tall as a seven-story building; my apartment fits a bed and an iMac. Whoever said money doesn?t buy happiness? I?d be plenty happy flying through the air drinking martinis and placing bets on thoroughbred horses, then stopping off at Côte d?Azur to gamble away hundreds of millions of dollars.

Facebook Has Unveiled Plans To Ad Targeting Program
2007-11-07 09:46:00
Facebook, the popular hangout is giving users some control over whether to share information on their buying habits and other online activities with friends. For the program announced Tuesday to work, enough users must actually say "yes" so advertisers can show users their pitches in the guise of friends' endorsements.Facebook's announcement follows by two weeks Facebook Inc.'s deal to sell a 1.6 percent stake to Microsoft Corp. for $240 million, valuing Facebook at $15 billion. Microsoft also broadened a marketing relationship that began last year. The ad program announced Tuesday was unrelated to either deal with Microsoft.Companies can even embed coding Facebook calls "Beacon" on outside sites such as eBay Inc., enabling a Facebook user who lists an item for auction, for example, to generate alert messages for Facebook friends, who may then check out the item.Facebook has long prided itself on guarding its users' privacy, but the walls have gradually lowered.

Being honest sometimes gets me in a little bit of trouble, says Kid Rock
2007-10-28 11:09:00
Kid Rock isn't one to back down from a fight, but says he doesn't go looking for trouble."Last thing I want is to have a reputation. I believe in standing up for things I believe in," the 36-year-old rock-rapper told Ellen DeGeneres on her syndicated talk show Thursday. "Being honest sometimes gets me in a little bit of trouble."Kid Rock — who quarreled with Tommy Lee at MTV's Video Music Awards last month — was arrested early Sunday after a brawl at a Waffle House restaurant in Atlanta."It started with me celebrating a great show that night. We were hungry. It was late at night," he told DeGeneres."I know the people work hard at Waffle House so I tipped people behind the counter and gave $300 to split up. Bought everyone breakfast in there," he said. "We had a good time. This one kid just started talking. ... And then one thing led to another, windows were breaking, cussing and fussing ... the mud, the blood and the beer."Kid Rock explained: "He said, ‘I hope you get mad, ...
