iPhone Web Browsing Simulator

ByMike Moffit

If you’re looking to develope some web applications for the iPhone then iPhoney can help you out. It’s a small application that looks like an iPhone and allows you to view your iPhone web applications just as it would look from a real iPhone.

Overall it works pretty well, unfortunately you don’t get the cool pinch and zoom features that the iPhone has, but it will at least give you idea of how your website or web application will look on an iPhone.

I did notice one issue and it’s a weird one, but when I load up an image in the ‘fit to screen’ viewing mode it will split the picture up into 4 parts and display them in a random order. I am not sure what’s up with that but hopefully it’ll be a bug that is fixed soon.

It’s a neat little application that just makes me want to get an iPhone even more! You can download it here for free and it’s also an open source application!

  • Protecting Your Photographs

    Let me ask you a few questions: Do you have a digital camera? How many megapixels does your camera shoot? How many years and how many photos do you have on your computer? Now imagine this… tomorrow morning you wake up and turn your computer on. It boots slower than normal and all you see is a flashing question mark on a gray screen. Your heart drops and you start to think about all of the memories that made up your iPhoto library.

    The purpose of all this is to get you thinking about how many pictures you take every week and what would happen if one day you lost all of them. Could be 10 days or 10 years of photos; either way your losing all of those precious memories. Your best solution is to backup your files. The key to a true backup is to have your files in two places. My suggestion is to purchase a pair of identical external hard drives. Several hard drive units ranging from 250 gigabytes to 2 terabytes are becoming more and more affordable.

    When you’re finished with your photo shoot, birthday party or vacation, store your photos on your computer and then back it up to your external hard drive. It may also be good to store your external hard drive in a different location than your computer and pull it out once a week to backup your new work. I like to go one step further and backup my backup. My setup includes my MacBook which is backed up onto an external hard drive which is then mirrored to a second external hard dive. This allows me to delete some photos off my MacBook to free up space while still leaving my photos on two different locations.
