FaceBook 3.5 Update Removes Hidden iPad App
by WoZzLe on Sep.18, 2011, under computer, Miscellaneous, Software, tablet devices
The latest update of the FaceBook app 3.5 offers many cool new features such as…
- Made it easier to share with who you want
- Added the ability to tag friends and places in posts
- Added the ability to share external links from a web view
- Added new design for Profile and Group Walls
- Improved the sharing tool to add privacy controls on posts and match your settings on the web site
If you are an (Jailbroken) iPad owner that has been using FaceForward available in Cydia to take advantage of the hidden version of the app, you will want to steer clear of this update.
As FaceBook has totally removed the hidden version from the app and FaceForward can not enable something that no longer exists.
The good news is that if you accidentally upgrade to version 3.5 there is hope.
Step 1: Remove / Delete FaceBook 3.5 from your iPad and iTunes.
it is also recomended that if you use FaceBook on an iPhone you remove 3.5 from that device as well to avoid accidental upgrade though iTunes syncing the newer version back to the iPad from iPhone.
Step 2: Download FaceBook version 3.4.4 from apptrackr.org.
Step 3: add downloaded version to iTunes library.
File > Add File To Library (locate V3.4.4 and click open)
Step 4: Sync to iPad as normal.
Step 5: Install or re-install FaceForward from Cydia.
Fixed!
My new 16g Apple iPhone 3G S
by WoZzLe on Oct.26, 2009, under Internet, Miscellaneous, Music, Software, Technology

Recently I got myself an 16GB Apple iPhone 3GS it was one of those items that you want more than you need. So as a result I procrastinated over it’s purchase for weeks. Finally I bought the gizmo that everyone’s talking about.
What do you think about it? I hear you say, I love it! Apple really know how to put a quality feature packed product together. No regrets so far the only thing that I am not happy about is the exorbitant price of data access, but can hardly be blamed on Apple.
Although I don’t do a huge amount of text messaging the ease of use of this feature and the attractive bubble like conversation history have me happy to send a few more with the The iPhone keyboard accelerates your typing because it tracks what you type, then suggests words, corrects spelling, and inserts punctuation for you.
With all the excitement comes a little bit of sadness, knowing that my 8OGB iPod Classic has become redundant. With a 3.5″ touch screen using the iPod feature has never been easier. choose from you music by scrolling through artits, album, playlists or cover flow. My favorite feature is the new shaking to shuffle songs.
With the addition of TomTom for iPhone it has turned the iPhone into a fully featured GPS. Will this thing ever stop amazing me with it’s versatility and ease of use? I think not! If you are like myself and have been thinking about getting yourself one of these all I can say is GO FOR IT!
Edit: after a bit longer using it I have noticed that battery life is a bit low, but considering the size of screen I am not all that surprised. And the lack of ability to easily share ring-tones and photos etc with blue-tooth is a disappointment. All is hope is not lost, there are third party apps designed to help you do this. As a side note to this issue I am glad to say the iPhone connects easily with my Nokia blue-tooth in car kit and works a treat.

A favicon is a small, 16 ×16 image that is shown in a browser’s URL bar, bookmarks menu and page tab when your site is visited. It is a good way to have your site stand out and increase its prominence in the bookmarks menu.
Adding a favicon to your self-hosted WordPress blog is relativly simple, the following will guide you through the proccess.

Installing your Favicon
Use any FTP client and upload the favicon.ico, into the main folder of your current theme. and another copy should also go in the root directory of your blog, eg http://yourblog.com/blog/ so that it is visible for news feedreaders.

Choose “Header” from the list on the right.

- Select Header
Search for the line that begins with, <link rel=”shortcut icon” and ends with /favicon.ico” />
and overwrite it, (or if it doesn’t exist) add the following code just before the end head tag </head> as shown in the picture below.
Nessasary Code
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”<?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/favicon.ico” />

- Code Position
Click “Update File” button and restart your browser. Navigate to your blog and the favicon.ico should now appear in you browser address bar, bookmarks and tabs, if it does not hit the refresh button once or twice to force a refresh.
