Tips & Tricks Preventing unwanted messages from showing up in your inbox can be integral to enjoying email. In this article we will walk you through the process of creating mail rules that will direct messages to other folders or the trash based on conditions you specify. We will also discuss how to update rules to include additional senders or other criteria, and provide some common-sense guidance about effectively using mail rules in general. Mail rules allow you to direct messages out of your inbox into another folder or trash automatically, based on their sender or other conditions. Rules can be set up on iCloud.com if the email address is the one you use for iCloud (it can end in either @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com). For your other email addresses, rules can be set up in the Mail app on a Mac.
Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 Released Published on 11-03-2011 02:49 PM Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 is fully compatible with the iOS 5.0.1 Beta released to developers yesterday. Yesterday, Apple pushed out the iOS 5.0.1 Beta to developers which has fixed numerous bugs in iOS 5 and brings the beloved multitasking gestures back to the original iPad. It was reported that iOS 5.0.1 could have been jailbroken with redsn0w 0.9.9b7, although you would need to point redsn0w to the iOS 5.0 firmware file, and the jailbreak was tethered. Originally Posted by Dev-Team Blog Redsn0w version 0.9.9b8 will natively recognize the 5.0.1 beta that Apple let developers start testing this week (so you don’t have to play the “point at 5.0 IPSW” trick). For those iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 users who preserve their baseband, the Mac version can also produce the NO_BB_* custom IPSW's for 5.0.1. This is still a tethered jailbreak for all except old-bootrom 3GS users. This new update brings support for the iOS 5.0.1 Beta. You can download Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 for Mac, here.

Reviews I’ll admit, I’ve never felt the need to purchase network-attached-storage (NAS) hardware for storing and accessing my media or backing up my files. These days most of my content, from photos and movies to back ups of important files for work, are already stored in the cloud. My photos are (supposed to) auto backup to Photostream in iCloud, iTunes has all of my music downloadable from all my devices from the cloud, and any important files and everything else go directly to Dropbox or Google Drive. Around 90% of my content is already stored and accessible from anywhere in the cloud. That being said, for the last year or so I’ve been hearing more and more about Synology DiskStation products. Coworkers can’t stop talking about them, and the products have received a lot of praise from many other reviewers as well.
Apple Rumors: The MacBook Pro Shrinks, iPad And iPhone Grow I suspect we’ll have to start picking and choosing our Apple rumor posts carefully in the coming months as the speculations begin flying fast and free, but until then a bit of gossip portending the next year’s changes won’t hurt anybody. iLounge is hawking some intel from their “most reliable source,” who claims to have the inside scoop on Apple’s upcoming revisions. It’s nothing mind-blowing, but it might be enough to make you unconsciously start saving money. The MacBook Pro redesign we’ve heard about before. Most interesting to me personally is the report that the iPad will be a little thicker, in order to allow for the extra lighting necessitated by the high-resolution screen I’ve been crowing about at every opportunity for almost a year now. More suspicious is the report that the iPhone will be getting a size bump to a 4″ screen, making the device as a whole 8mm longer. One thing I am optimistic about is the metal case, reportedly aluminum.

Thanks for your comment. Just ordered the long Nomad Brush. The Nomad "Compose" looked interesting but there were some negative comments about the angle of the very short tip. Anyway, Amazon removed it from their site before I returned to order. It was not to be available until the 17th. Perhaps the reason for removal. Have learned to order from Amazon when you find something. Usually when you return the price has increased. I did say "usually". :-) Thanks again. by iquitoz Dec 15
Yes, it was the Nomad. It is a fun gadget that looks the part, so maybe there is some psychological benefit, however, it really just comes down to which program you are using and which brushes you use, if it detects angles or not, etc...don't you think? I like the feel of it in my hand. by lkatmat Dec 2
Hello, lkatmat. Was the "brush" like stylus a Nomad? If it was, I would like to know which model you ordered and how you like it. Thank you. by iquitoz Nov 21
Have used the Pogo Sketch for about one year. The tip material eventually became compressed and began falling off. It became nearly unusable but that be expected with use. Now trying the Kuel H10 with a hollow "rubber" tip. A little short even when barrel is extended. Response is nice. by iquitoz Nov 21
Good review, great examples, we understand in a short time. by sandrarlockwood Nov 20
I have the Wacom Bamboo and I agree it is the best. I haven't tried the Adonit Jot Pro. I googled it and it does seem interesting. I just ordered the one that is like a watercolor brush (I forget the name) but haven't received it yet. I am interested in the feel of this one. by lkatmat Nov 18
Good review, great examples and descriptions of how they performed under use. Would have liked to see the Adonit Jot Pro included. I like the heft and feel, but the Wacom Bamboo might still be best. by kenkiyomi Nov 3
