    Zoom in on faces not working?

    Doesn't do a damn thing for me, either. Perhaps one needs to process the photos in some way first?

    I have my new iPad!

    I haven't waited in a retail line since black friday of 2007. Actually, that was the only time I ever waited in a retail line not involving concert or sports tickets (before those all went online too). Got some sweet deals on home theater stuff that year. After a sleepless night tonight I...

    How Long Is/Was The Line You're In...???

    I was a half-hour late getting to my nearest Walmart (the 7am opening being the earliest retailer opening within 40 miles of here) and still got only the 3rd pad sold. Two people were waiting there at open. None at the Target I drove by after (45 minutes before they opened) and only two more...

    I have my new iPad!

    I picked one up. Figured this thread would have more replies by now. The story ?round these parts is no one is that interested (or they?ve all pre-ordered). I decided to swing by the nearest Walmart at the 7am opening time (but wound up not getting there till 7:30am) and discovered they?d only...

    iBooks crashing after JBM3

    Does it fix the problems with pink-box "encoding errors" or just crashing of the app?

    iBooks crashing after JBM3

    I have an issue with paid ibooks I presume to be related to DRM checks and Jailbreak status. Occasional chapters have "encoding errors" (notified in pink boxes) and the chapter is missing some text. Seems random; if I re-open the book sometimes I can pick up where the content was previously...

    Jailbreakme 3.0

    After running clean for the first year of my contract, a few days ago I jailbroke my iPhone 4 (my first iOS device - and my first experience with jailbreaking) with jailbreakme 3.0. I'd considered doing it when comex's last jailbreakme came out shortly after the iPhone 4 was released but since...

    GIVE AWAY: White iPhone 4

    Unlike a lot of TiPb readers, apparently, I seem to have a slightly stronger moral compass as regards to what I'm willing to expense, and as thus don't have anything so outrageous as worthy of reporting here. Hope that doesn't keep me from being eligible to win a sweet new iPhone though.

    I was disappointed with the iPad 2

    Yeah, that would certainly do it for me too - LOL. Maybe iPad 4. SHOCKED. SHOCKED!! that Apple put inferior cameras on the iPad 2 than what I already had on my iPhone 4. Especially after that awesome demo of iMovie for iPad. Deal. Broken. Right there.

    TiPb iPad 2 give away!

    TiPb satisfies my latest obsession (since getting my first non-iPod Classic Apple product, an iPhone 4, last June) to consume every little bit of iOS news I possibly can; yet allows me to retain my sanity by digesting it to a manageable level for me. Plus, the discussions offer a great place to...

    Verizon iPhone give-away! Enter now to win!

    I haven't felt an urgent need to leave AT&T, but, free iPhone 4? Sure, I'll try out Verizon and see if it really is as good as everyone seems to think. And of course, I've been at Tipb almost every day since getting my first iOS device in June (AT&T iPhone 4) ... so in spite of my perceived...

    How many apps on your iPhone?

    Currently, 191 on phone. 232 in iTunes. Currently, I have 191 on the phone. I have 232 in iTunes, so I've deleted at least 40 that are not of much use anymore. I probably have quite a few games I haven't gotten around to playing, and lots of apps that I don't use very often but are...

    TiPb Awards: Favorite Navigation App - Vote Now!

    MapQuest is **FREE**, and provides spoken turn-by-turn directions with street names spoken via accurate Text-to-Speech. Used it the yesterday when I didn't have my Garmin with me but wanted turn-by-turn directions on a two hour trip somewhere I've never been, and it worked great. Gives you two...
