Tweetie 2 was the most popular iPhone app. Somehow Apple integrated it into an official Twitter iPhone app. Twitter for iPhone is now official free to download on the iTunes Apps store. I’m not a twittaholic guy, but sometime I think it’s great to socialize a bit. Well, you can follow my Twitter page HERE.

Dual Dell 2408WFP monitors setup

thuyla — Thu, 13 May 2010 22:11:24 +0000

Two monitors are better than one. That’s right. I’m currently viewing two Dell 2408WFP monitors in front of me, these monitors are wall mounted and they are going to kill my sight. Hahhaha…

This is what I used to wall-mounted these monitors. Each individual wall-mount is for each monitor.

With a little of spare time I managed to organize my cables by sticking them onto the wall and whooolaaa….here

Somebody has given me a great idea that I should wall-mount my Mac Mini behind the monitors. So I did it. Look at the photo below, that’s how it’s mounted.

If you ever wonder where to get dual wallpapers, check out mandolux has some pretty nice one.

Rogers free tethering

thuyla — Sun, 09 May 2010 13:41:30 +0000

I received a message from Rogers on my iPhone awhile back. Surprisingly on May 4, 2010 Rogers announced tethering will continue to be included at no additional charge for Rogers customers who subscribe to a data plan of 1GB and above.

Sure it is a good news for me. I could use my jailbroke iPhone with MyWi installed and tethering to my iPad WiFi.

iPad Wallpapers

thuyla — Sat, 08 May 2010 19:05:24 +0000

Just added over 300 images in iPad Wallpapers page, only 1024×1024 pixel resolution. It can be viewed in landscape and portrait mode. More wallpapers will be added later on. Enjoys…

BTW, those who doesn’t know how to save photos/images in Safari to your iPad, here is how:

Choose your image you want to save as in Safari
Tap and hold on the image for about 2 second
A pop-up will ask you “Save Image” or “Copy”
Choose “Save Image”
Now, close Safari and open Photos app
Finally, your image will be saved in Photos app

I supposed setting an iPad wallpaper is pretty easy and straight forward. It’s Brightness & Wallpaper in Settings option.

Facebook iPhone App on iPad (Unpixelated version)

thuyla — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:45:16 +0000

Have you tried Facebook iPhone app with 2x resolution on iPad? It does look ugly and pixelated on the iPad right? OK. I have got some cool tweak you could fix that problem. Here is you what need on your iPad (version OS 3.2):

Jailbreak your iPad with Spirit.
Cydia app: iFile
An installed Facebook iPhone app from Apps Store

Here is step by step:

- Step 1: Open and run Cydia on iPad.
- Step 2: Tap “Search” in Cydia and type in “iFile“, then install it.
- Step 3: Now, close Cydia app.
- Step 4: Open iFile app you just installed on your iPad screen.
- Step 5: Navigate to /var/mobile/Applications
- Step 6: Look for 5AD431ED-809C…3C5A6F20EA62 (Facebook directory)
- Step 7: Navigate to Facebook.app folder and scroll down.
- Step 8: Touch and open Info.plist file.
- Step 9: Find the first and add these lines below:

UIDeviceFamily

1
2

- Step 10: Done and Save it.
- Step 11: Restart your iPad…
- Step 12: Open Facebook on your iPad now. Wooolaa…… Enjoys.

UPDATE: There is a new method you can do this easily by installing FullForce in Cydia. Open Settings and you will see FullForce settings and enable “ON” for Facebook app. This Cydia app can also enable 2x resolution for any others as well. It’s pretty neat huh? You should install it if you are using a lot iPhone apps on your iPad.

Disclaimer: This little tweak is for personal testing purpose only and I am not responsible for any kind of loss data or damage your iPad. I hope you’d know what you doing, please do at your own risk.

JacPac CO2 for Cleaning My Computer

thuyla — Sat, 01 May 2010 15:51:59 +0000

Tired of wasting $5-10 for an air canned to blow dust out of your computers, and it won’t last long? Well, I have come across to this nice small portable JacPac CO2 system that does the work nicely. It costs around $100 at Canadian Tire store (I really hate Canadian Tire returns policy nowaday). I also need some extra attachments to make a perfect tool for the job.

Here is the list:

JacPac CO2 system
Attachment Male Connector – 1/4 inch.
Pistol grip blow gun
Extra 16oz CO2 cylinder (optional, can be bought at any paintball shop)

Cheap iPad Study Stand (Staples $4)

thuyla — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 22:39:05 +0000

Finally I got an iPad 32GB Wifi off someone in Toronto last week. First accessory I’d get is the stand for my iPad. I’ve seen it on TUAW and I knew it the right one I want. So I visited my local Staples store and got it for around $4. I also have some flexible water tube around and did a little tubing around the wire study stand for scratching protection. Anyways, showing some photos below:
