The way it should look…

ByMike Moffit

I’ve worked here for over 5 years and the iPhone 5 was my first iPhone (I know). When I got my iPhone 5 the first two things I wanted was AppleCare+, I’ve broken the glass on my iPad 2 three times now, and a dock. I drove all the way to the Apple store in Nashua NH, at the time we were unable to sell AppleCare+, to register my phone with AppleCare. I asked the associate for AppleCare and to point me in the direction of the new iPhone 5 docks. “There isn’t an iPhone 5 dock.” WHAT, I was shocked.

I know it’s not a ground breaking accessory, but it’s Apple, it just didn’t look right in the multiple third party ones I tried. Finally the iPhone 5S brought along the new lightning dock! As expected it looks amazing, clean, slim and of course white, contrasting nicely with my black (not Space Gray) iPhone 5.

It also has one feature that I’ve always liked: line-out. This allows you to plug in a stereo or desktop speaker system into the back of the dock. The key feature is that it disables the volume control of the device, meaning the speaker system volume is the only control, producing a cleaner sound over the stereo. Get yours now at smalldog.com

  • Bouncing Lions

    I love Lion. So far it is my favorite iteration of Mac OS X, but it does have some annoying features. In my internet wanderings yesterday I came across an article with instructions on how to get rid of the rubber-band effect which occurs when you scroll to the very bottom or top of a page. This effect will make the page scroll a little bit past the end point then bounce back. It’s a nice little bit of eye-candy, but not really necessary.

    You can easily turn this effect off by entering a simple Terminal command (which I’ll list below) and then press “enter”. As always, do this at your own risk. Mucking about in Terminal can cause irreparable harm to your OS if you do something you shouldn’t. Make sure you have a good backup before you make any changes like this to your system. Here’s the text you need to enter:

    defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -int 0

    You can revert to the original setting by entering the following and then press enter:

    defaults delete -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding

    You’ll need to relaunch any applications that display the rubber-banding in order for this to take effect. Unfortunately, it will not affect Safari. Should I find a way to get rid of the rubber-band in Safari, I’ll update this article.
