Prolific Programmer on the Internets!

Lifehack introduces us to ebooks, which are apparently catching on in a big way. It illustrates some formats that an ebook will come in, how to find them, and what device to read them on. I don't have an iPhone and no matter how much some people try to talk me into buying one, I'm not going to do it, I enjoy reading them on the Nokia N800 myself.

I am often to be found away from home and work. With my computer, and an idea on how to improve prsnl. I would like to make the change, deploy a new release, and get on with my day. My number of potential access points just increased considerably provided I change my user-agent, with the settings below.

Lifehacker tells more about AT&T offering free wifi to iphone users:

To masquerade as an iPhone, you'll need to tweak your browser's user agent, which web sites use to identify your browser when you connect to the site. In Firefox, you can install the previously mentioned User Agent Switcher. In Safari, you can select the iPhone user agent through the Develop menu (which you can enable by navigating to Preferences -> Advanced and checking "Show Develop menu in menu bar." Likewise, Opera has user agent switching built in. On the non-Safari browsers, you'll have to manually add a new iPhone user agent like so.

I'm going to try this with my mum's iphone number. No, you gits, I'm not posting it.

Lifehacker features SIP for the iPod Touch. Now, granted this only works if you're within range of a wifi hotspot (actually, can the ipod touch do Internet-over-Bluetooth?), but it is the first step to getting Apple and AT&T to behave.

Apple has posted instructions on making iPhone ringtones and undercutting their $0.99/song iTunes music store. For other makes, check this blog's archives.

Anyone else see the irony of Apple products stealing ideas from Microsoft?
