How to read PDF files on iPhone via Safari instead of lame email attachments « Pimm - Partial immortalization The 2 main drawbacks to reading PDFs on the iPhone are the must-send-it in email in order to store and open “solution” and the user-unfriendly, landscapeless left-right scrolling reading mode. Not anymore. Both problems can easily be overcome with the help of a Safari browser hack using the almost forgotten data: URI schemes. From now on you can store and open your PDF files (and many others) in the iPhone’s Safari browser even in the Wi-Fi- and EDGE-less airplane mode and you can read PDFs in a landscape mode with only 1 one pich (that fits a column) and significantly less left-right scrolling in a much more satisfying, although not yet perfectly manner. Here I show you in 4 steps how to do so. 1. 2. 3. 4. The same algorithm with screenshots: I’d like to thank for W. Here is Peter Meyers’ diagnosis in length: First, the only way to permanently store and view a PDF is to email it to yourself and then open the attachment.

[Author Unknown] Whatever you call it, the charge is the same – it involves operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs. It could be as “simple” as an over-the-counter cold or flu medicine, but the bottom line is: If you are Driving Under the Influence, you are breaking the law. A DUI – Impaired Driving, Blowing over .08, Refusing to Blow, or Refusal to Take a Breathalyzer – is among the most common criminal records in Canada. No one would disagree that operating a vehicle while under the influence of any substance that limits your ability to think clearly, respond quickly, stay alert, and remain attentive is a dangerous activity. Myth No. 1: A person is legally allowed to drive with a blood alcohol level below .08. Full details are certainly worth exploring.
Secret New iPhone Features | Mossblog | Walt Mossberg | AllThingsD One of the nice things about the iPhone is that, like the iPod, it can be easily updated by Apple with new features and bug fixes. When such new software is available, you are notified the next time you plug your iPhone into your computer and the new stuff is downloaded into the phone automatically. Apple issued its first iPhone update this week. In the Favorites list in the Phone module, the iPhone’s equivalent of a speed-dial list, you can now have 50 entries instead of 20. I’m sure readers have found some other secret features in this first iPhone update. Email me at mossberg@wsj.com.
getmooh.com - Escape a Date, Escape from a Meeting, Escape People Walt Mossberg's Got a Secret - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) No, I'm not talking about anything bad. Actually, its very good -- secret iPhone features! Yes, as usual Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal digs deep into all-things-Apple and reveals some hidden features included in the recent 1.0.1 iPhone firmware update. Sadly, these "secret" features don't include some of the ones I, and others, would like to see, such as the ability to text message more than one person at a time or an IM client. But even though they might not be fantastic, earth-shattering enhancements, they still, as Mossberg points out: "make the iPhone nicer to use." Some of the "secret" features found by Mossberg include the capability of having 50 favorite numbers in the phone application instead of the previous 20, the option to BCC yourself in the mail application instead of just CC, and the ability to now play music through previously incompatible car adapters and speakers originally designed specifically for the iPod.

Switching from the Treo to the iPhone (Usability Issues and Getting Things Done) Update: I bought an iPhone, and I've successfully switched from the Treo. More posts to follow. Like many users of the Treo, I'm considering switching to the iPhone, but I have a few reservations. Following the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology, I've become used to rapidly creating lists and tasks. I'm concerned that the iPhone, with its touch screen keyboard and inability to cut and paste text, is not well-suited for word processing, business, and productivity applications -- but I'd like to be proved wrong. This post is an updated compendium of opinions and impressions of iPhone users. (Suggestions for links and reviews would be appreciated. Apple's iPhone Keyboard Movie The iPhone’s most controversial feature, the omission of a physical keyboard in favor of a virtual keyboard on the screen, turned out in our tests to be a nonissue, despite our deep initial skepticism.

Stixy: For Flexible Online Creation Collaboration and Sharing Insanely Great News Filemarks let you store high res images, text files, and PDFs on an iPhone! There aren’t any good ways to do this with the built in Apple tools – you can use iPhoto to copy images, but they’ll be scaled down and become unreadable. If you want to read a pdf on your phone, you have to either email it to yourself or browse to it in Safari. Filemarks store your file’s data inside a bookmark. Filemarks let you store much higher quality images than the built in photo application.

Other important stuff Are there file size restrictions?
Let’s guess each other’s Social Security Numbers, for fun True story: I didn’t even know my Social Security Number until my freshman year of college, when it was used as my dorm building’s PIN. Type in the PIN, and the little gate would open. It seemed a little odd at the time, yes, and today’s news that, with a little elbow grease, someone can guess a person’s Social Security Number quite easily, well, that doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence vis-à-vis “the system.” It’s like this. A team of researchers, out of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, have figured out a way to guess a person’s Social Security Number knowing only basic info: a date of birth, a home town, etc. In short, with a little bit of know-how, someone, if he were so inclined, could guess your social security number, provided he knew your date of birth and the location where you acquired your SSN. What does this mean for you in your everyday life? Be sure to tune in next week for a silly contest: guess Peter Ha’s SSN, and win a USB thumb drive! Flickr
iPhone Problem Solved: When iPhoto Stops Syncing / Importing Photos Before I bought my iPhone I sold my Canon Elph digital camera A) In anticipation of using the "First Apple digital camera to be released since 1997" (The Apple Quicktake 200 digital camera was discontinued in 1997) B) So as to raise funds to make my iPhone purchase. I got $260 on eBay for a package that included my camera and a few accessories. I made a commitment to the iPhone camera before I even purchased my iPhone to use the camera as my one camera source. About 10 days ago I experienced my first iPhone problem. iPhoto just randomly stopped syncing with my MacBook. This problem is indicative of the "import button" in iPhoto being grayed out and "unclickable". As with ANY problem, before troubleshooting, make sure you have your computer backed up - in particular your iPhoto libraries and pictures. Since I'm in local area technical service for the iPhone as an AT&T employee I tried the following: Check for syncing ... working? Still didn't work? If this worked ... iPhoto is corrupt.
