  1. Take a Twitter widget for example, it could probably show a couple of things, such as the number of unread tweets or the most recent tweet. It gives you information before you press it.

     

    I personally have something called infoscreen, Twitter, Facebook, Mail, Missed calls, calender appointments and sms previews on the homescreen before I launch anything.

     

    If you keep an eye on what you have open then it shouldn't be a problem. If my 5800 can do it with 5 or 6 apps open plus all the background stuff then the iPhone should easily handle it.

     

    and It dos very well, " Backgrounder" for the iphone and I keep skype and tweetie 2 on background so I dont need to refresh and anyone can call me direct to skype aswell!

     

    I think Apple's closed policy was actually a great move! It happens with most devices! Say PSP the harder Sony clamp down, the more people jump on the bandwagon and rally together to crack it, same with the 360 when MS said it was unhackable (lol) and now the same with apple only they burst the device almost completely wide open!


  2. Soooo I like a guy who doesn't seem to have any interest in me, yay?

     

    Story of my life! *rollseyes*

     

    Spent most of the day bumming around the house in a hoodie and shorts! I should feel guilty about not doing any work but worked myself to the bone for the last 4 months so in a way I think I deserve this :P Though I only have a mac so I am restricted to borderlands and movies.. and this lovely forum :P

     

    ps: need gym.... :(


  3. what are the chances that the reviewer will NOT sell his iphone and just slowly revert back to it, whilst occasionally bringing out the nexus to show off to friends that they arent sheep.

     

    At the moment people keep on beating a dead horse especially when the person providing the bat is google and the horse has been dead for a while and everyone knows that it isnt going to reanimate and bite them in the ass.


  4. You know most of the iPhone disadvantages are actually already solved by jailbreaking the thing and dont get started on security issues. If you can jailbreak, you can spend 10 mins learning figuring out and changing the ssh passwords which then protects you against the " dangers of jailbreaking"

     

    Personally on my iphone, I can multitask and have widgets. Plus with the gazillion apps the censorship point is moot because there is bound to be one that slipped through the net or is right for you PLUS whatever you dont get in app store you get through cydia i.e. bette sms client, full itunes app song preview, picture contacts, facebook syncing (though now comes with 3.1 of the app), themes etc.

     

    I think most if not all phones are in the apps store's shadow now, and there is no way about that.


  5. Hmm advice?

     

    One student who I have covered for 2 or 3 times this semester is starting to annoy me. He added me on facebook a while ago and I reluctantly agreeded. However he chats to me EVERY time we both happen to be online (he does the same to others, as he always ended up on facebook during lectures anyway) and now he just invited me to the cinema. WTF? Boundaries people! Particularly as he's hard work its not like it would be fun in any way. So yeah, what to do? I'll delete him off facebook once I change jobs (whenever that may be) but he's getting on my wick.

     

    Agree with the the advice, tell him straight! be like you are annoying, dial it back! or just outright ignore him and delete him! life's too short to waste time when they are annoying you to that degree


  6. I could see him do that. Dude moans a lot. :heh:

     

    Speaking of dreams had one the other night the girl I had a crush on told me she liked me, but I didn't quite hear right so I walked away (presuming the conversation to be over) then found out what she had said and tried to find her (random things happened to prevent this) and eventually did but she was too upset to talk to me. I could see me actually doing this.

     

     

    You know it's your subconscious telling you to go for it IRL! :p

     

    Spent most of today feeling ill with a cold! and right shoulder is hurting from it. Methinks the plan for tonight is blanket + OJ + borderlands!


  7. Genuinely confused about some coursework I'm supposed to be starting. I've been given a scenario and basically it falls at the first hurdle yet I've been asked to write 6 pages for the first part and then 2 pages for another part.

     

    Blergh. May have to ask someone about this but apparently no questions will be answered regarding coursework?!

     

    Dude let me know! I havent got any of my books at home with me but I'll have a stab with my knowledge :P


  8. OMFG I've finally done it!

     

    Sent in my application for the Bar today! (not the drinking kind, the law kind)

     

    The application was basically 2 months in the making and required just too much preparation! Now I wait till March the 2nd to see if I get into law school :S


  9. Its just one of those questions I think that can really be answered by the companies themselves, since it involves business practices. I would imagine that it could work like the music industry where they get royalties based on the copies sold as well. Also I think with companies like Blizzard ignoring the fact that they are big, they also have wow which provides them with a constant source of income via subscription, I cant imagine other normal games only last like 1 year at the most.

    On a slightly different note, I remember a forum member posting that they did work experience at Square enix, I cant quite remember who..


  10. My home town of Oxford is known for looking a bit like this:

    but I'm down with eastside Oxford, dats where my dawgs at you know what I'm saying. East Oxford looks a bit more like this:

     

    20080321193035!Carnival_08_Cowley_road.jpg

     

    Anyway, overall it is quite good, lovely pubs but expensive drinks. Could do with a few more decent venues.

    Is there a guy on the right smoking a splif? lol

     

    I live about 5 mins from the three french diving men seen in the picture, towards the shitty arms direction. If you look past the odd drunken fight on cowley then its a pretty nice place!


  11. Have you ever played Elefun? Cause as far as I know, it's about catching butterflies that get blown out of the elephants trunk (this sounds bad). Unless there's some other Elefun game I don't know about.

    I think i've heard of this, was the moto "It's Elefun-tastic!!" ...


  12. Its becoming the standard though. Hell I remember seeing that in America one phone was being offered on a 48 month contract only.

     

    that requires a double take! Woahhh!

    I cant imagine 2 years stuck in the same contract! I find the 30 notice for simplicity just ok.. just! I mean if you do the maths, if you can afford it buy the phone on unlocked or a network you know that could be unlocked with pay as you go and just sim only that bad boy.


  13. 500-Days-of-Summer-movie.jpg

     

    500 Days of Summer

     

    7/10 on the actual film but like Garden State and Pushing Daisies it gives you that warm tingly nostalgic feeling towards relationships.

    Only in the case of 500 days it flips it norm and lets you know it isnt a love story, it only gives you only a familiar nostalgic feeling. Whether its good or bad is very dependant on you and your history in relationships and that is what you take away.

     

    The story is intriguing but its a movie for the feeling you get from it as opposed to the technical elements and for that its 10/10 must watch!

     

    Moonposter.jpg

     

    Moon

     

    6/10... Yeah I know it was done on a shoe string budget but when the entire movie moved from point A to B with basically nothing interesting produced from the time spent watchin, makes it a poor film in my mind. If I was in the cinema; I would enjoy 2012 over Moon. IMO a complete waste of Kevin Spacey, I mean even in 21 where he was basically a teacher there was more to him than in Moon where it was only his voice reading someone elses lines, with no opportunity for him to shine. Such a waste.

    Though the split screen acting wasnt bad, but I've seen better from David Hewlett in Stargate Atlantis. The film; ironic like the moon - grey.


  14. :(

     

    *strokes iPhone*

     

    It's okay if 3G is turned off.

     

    But if it's on then yeah... a day.

     

    That's caus there is stuff to tap and poke around with the iphone, dependant on the blackberry the screen alone is smaller anyways.

    I picked it up on the ebays for like 20 quid cheaper since it was a private auction! I'll repost here and let you know how it works when I get it! :santa:


  15. mophie-juice-pack-air.jpgmophie-juice-pack-air.jpg

     

    Mophie juice pack for my iphone 3g (since the battery is lasting just inside of one day) apparently this baby gives 2 full charges on top of your original iphone's full charge! 3 days of use without charging? hopefully!

     

    the-tipping-point-740155.jpg

     

    Just one of those books that always interested me generally and useful in the context of the potential profession I am going into.

     

    Wisecrowds.jpg

     

    Same reason as above + derren brown !


  16. I'm regretting not pre-ordering a copy of the professional version when it was dead cheap. And I'm too much of a wimp too bend the rules and get the student version. (No longer a student, but I believe my email address is still active).

     

    I think the student offer last until jan 2010 so if you can still access your student e-mail (to validate) you can buy windows 7 home / pro for 30 quid!


  17. I didnt use online with Llyods TSB when i had an account with them. Went over by £3 and they charge me £30!! Didnt get the letter about it till it was long enough for them to warrant charging that much.

     

    Went in to the branch to pled my case. Student, only £3 and all that. They wouldnt have any of it. I threatened to cancel my account and they encouraged it! So TSB never again!
