purpleplanet – Software Solutions is looking to take on an OSX/Mobile App Junior Developer. This is not a full-time position. You will be working on a project basis, with a price agreed before each project commences.
We are preferably seeking someone who is still learning the ropes. We have a large, non-time critical project, which will allow you to significantly increase your development skills on a real project.
Don’t apply if you’re a company or third-party agency. We are looking for a junior with some basic experience, who needs an opportunity to develop their skills in an expanding role.
You should be able to work from home, to an agreed schedule, under your own supervision and be prepared to “check in” on a regular basis with updates.
Please contact us directly if interested. Be prepared to show your portfolio!

On July 5th 2011, Jailbreakme.com 3.0 was released. Version 3.0 brings support for iOS Devices running 4.3.3 including the iPad2, for which this is the first public jailbreak.
You can head over to http://jailbreakme.com/ on your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, which is running 4.3.3, and slide your finger over “Slide to Jailbreak”.
As always, it’s a good idea to back-up your device before jail-breaking.

iPad’s lack of a physical keyboard and Flash support are the two shortcomings most commonly cited as differentiating it from a laptop, but these are just the most superficial and obvious shortcomings (although I accept that for some, the absence of Flash is an advantage rather than a shortcoming).

While Wi-Fi is great for connecting to the Internet on a laptop, keeping AirPort on all the time can drain your battery. If you have access to the Internet through a wired Ethernet connection, there may be no reason to keep AirPort on.
