A list of iPhone Apps I find interesting
- eBay Mobile Download
iPhone version of eBay - Air Mouse Download
This is a ‘wow’ app, actually thinking of upgrading Windows machine only for this and turn it into a media center - DropBox Download
Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they’ll be instantly available on any of your other computers that you’ve installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!)

I happen to get a chance to see Fan Boys, and how it interests me to finish the movie thru this starwars theme intro (imagine these texts flying away to infinity, and the music in the background)
Episode VII
Return of the Saga
The year is 1998 and it is a period of galactic civil war. Scratch that. There’s no civil war. That would be crazy! However, the past fifteen years have been a dark time for Star Wars fans.
but there is hope. A new Star Wars film is on the horizon. In 199 days, 3 hours, 33 minutes and 30 seconds the most anticipated movie of all time will be released.
In the remote state of Ohio, two best friends and lifelong Star Wars fans have drifted apart. Little do they know that on Halloween night, their paths will cross again….
Ever wonder where these words are flying? Maybe aliens in another galaxy will one day read this and think WTF?

I just had a chance to access my home PC using VNC over 3G. I was able to play with it only on local network before.
What you need… on your ubuntu machine
- Remote Desktop
(vino) - System > Preferences > Remote Desktop. Check “Allow other users to view your desktop”. And best if you set a password and uncheck “Ask for confirmation”.
On your iphone…
- Mocha VNC Lite
http://mochasoft.dk/iphone_vnc.htm - Add your connection preferences.

If you’re using an iPhone from one of Globe’s post paid plans and you’d be so unhappy to find out your bill is way above your expected consumption, perhaps everyone is. Then you need to adjust something in your APN Settings, you can do that thru Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network. By default, the value is set to “internet.globe.com.ph”, erase or change to something else that is invalid, your phone will work just fine without it. Though, in places where there is no wi-fi signal available and you want use internet, mail or IM, you need to revert to its original value. Quite a procedure though, but its the only solution for now.
My recent two month bills incredibly reduced compare to my first month usage – a whooping PHP4,800! It’s now down to 1,400 to 1,500.
The issue is, iPhone is submitting usage bytes to this URL while you’re connected to the internet, over wi-fi or 3G. Yes, the plan came with 40 hours of mobile internet plus free usage on any globewiz hotspots, but I rarely use that. So since then, I only reset to default URL only when I need internet on the road or paid wi-fi is the only available resource.
What happens if you purchase wi-fi access on a coffee shop, you paid the access and you’re also metered by Globe, ouch! Unacceptable!
Ok, a little googling took me here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2283, think this supports my purpose of removing the APN.
