No, wait, nevermind.
For a little while Thursday night, the holy grail of iPhone users was found. A program from NullRiver (makers of Tuner and numerous other amazing stuff), had an app called ‘NetShare’ in the iTunes US Store.
“Share your iPhone’s EDGE or 3G Internet connection with your computer using NetShare. NetShare provides a SOCKS5 proxy for your computer to connect to.”
Priced at $9.99, the app would have been a good deal for anyone who hasn’t jailbroken their iPhone already – aside from the fact that AT&T would likely have busted the proverbial cap of overcharging in ones financial …
Hello, gentle readers. We need your opinions on something of great import.
As many of you know, BabyGotMac was started in January of 2007. Shortly after, we had a logo contest which was handily won by the lovely, talented and extremely patient Matt Peltier. The idea to make the logo encompass the Mac logo of days past was, I admit, entirely Matts. It was, let’s face it, nothing short of genius.
Then in around April of this year, another reader (Evan) sent in the updated logo you currently see on the site – apropos of nothing …
In a HUGE update that started yesterday afternoon, Apple has released a few dozen new and updated apps, including the long-awaited 1Password for the iPhone. I can now die a happy man.
Check out the latest App Store entries here.
PS: 1Password is glorious and well worth the wait. Wow.
PPS: Scrabble was updated – much faster, shorter splash screen. Lost stats. 
PPPS: 1Pass version that supports iPhone Sync: http://support.agilewebsolutions.com/showpost.php?p=60362&postcount=10
Devs need to work with Apple to either give away an app for the first day or number of users to encourage reviews of ‘expensive’ software. For instance, who wants to be the guy that spends $25 for this app, ostensibly the first Voice Dialer for the iPhone, http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284951677&mt=8 only to find out that it doesn’t work? By giving it away to a few random users, you could encourage reviews and let people know what they are contemplating buying.
Apple also needs a more structured timeframe for releasing apps. Pick a day (or …
After hitting a roadblock with Parallels this morning, in which it told me repeatedly that it couldn’t allocate memory, I discovered that I was out of disk space. How could this be, thought I? I just added a 500gb drive and have over 100gb free still! 
Then I noticed that inside my home folder, Finder indicated I had a mere 165mb free, whereas Finder in the drive root showed the actual space. Turns out that FileVault, which is a simple sparse image file, doesn’t know that t now has a …
Over the past few weeks I’ve spent dozens of hours trying to setup my Mac desktop to serve my music, videos and pictures to my UPNP player, a D-Link DSM320
.
The D-Link is a set top box that connects to your video output (tv, projector, lcd screen) and allows you to control the content using a remote.
The basic premise is that you have libraries or folders on your Mac containing media files – UPNP compliant software then runs on …
A great idea (well implemented too, I might add) from the guys over at TopMuffin. It checks the Apple website and updates store locations with iPhone model availability. Lines, of course, are presumed.
