Il nostro utente Seba ha avuto una brutta disavventura con il suo iPhone 3GS , che per colpa di uno cavo non originale si è surriscaldato talmente tanto in fase di ricarica da bruciare connettore e cavo.

Nello specifico si tratta di un iPhone 3GS bianco da 32 GB mai jailbroken e con nessun problema di ricarica o di qualsiasi altro tipo, se non una normale tendenza al surriscaldamento tipica di molti modelli.

Seba aveva lasciato in ricarica l’iPhone per qualche ora, è poi uscito e quando è ritornato a casa ha ritrovato il connettore interno bruciato e lo spinotto praticamente sciolto.

Apple è stata già avvertita e domani dovrebbe arrivare il corriere per ritirare l’iPhone e sostituirlo.

Malgrado la vicenda davvero spiacevole, è doveroso ricordare che si tratta di casi sporadici e rari, che tra l’altro sono capitati anche con l’iPhone 3G. Inoltre il connettore usato non è quello ufficiale per iPhone 3GS, malgrado fosse perfettamente compatibile e sia stato utilizzato per circa un mese senza problemi

Nel ringraziare Seba per la segnalazione, non possiamo far altro che auguragli un veloce ritorno di un nuovo iPhone 3GS

L’uscita della versione finale è prevista per settembre, ma intanto si lavora senza sosta al firmware 3.1 per iPhone e iPod Touch. Apple, infatti, ha appena mandato agli sviluppatori la beta 3 del pacchetto siglato con il codice 7C116A dal peso di 307 MB.

Tra le novità di questa versione figura il miglioramento dell’invio di SMS e MMS, il copia/incolla dei video nelle email, la traduzione di alcune parti del firmware e la risoluzione di bug minori.

Boing Boing's gadget blog has updated the list of potential hackintosh netbooks. You can ponder the whole thing or cut to the chase: "...get a HP Mini 1000 or a Dell Mini 9/Vostro A90." While the Mini 9 has been discontinued, the Vostro A90 is apparently a rebadged version of the highly hackable Dell and it works just as well as the original.

The Eee 1000H also scored highly. There are 21 machines on the chart, each scored across 10 items like working Wi-Fi, Ethernet, sound board and so on.

Our own Steven Sande wrote about his experiences with turning a Dell Mini 9 into a hackintosh. His experience was less than optimal, but your own may differ (those Windows and Intel stickers sure do look sweet).

In related news, the fabled and still non-existent "iTablet" is rumored to be coming this year or next, depending on whom you choose to believe. As for me, I'd be happy enough to pick up a 13" MacBook Pro and call it a day. It's small enough for a daily ride in my backpack and is a genuine Mac. But as my hacker friends would say, "Where's the fun in that?"

Color Oven allows designers to calculate a color scheme based on an initial chosen color and a scheme type (mono-chromatic, complimentary, analogous, and triad). Then it allows you to save the color scheme, preview it in different mediums, and even share them across the globe.

Rather than shooting bubbles on a static platform, Bubble Twirrl features a bubble board that rotates with every shot you take. The goal is to eliminate bubbles by connecting at least three bubbles in a row!

The goal of Bubble Twirrl is to eliminate all of the bubbles on the board by creating groups of three or more bubbles of the same color. To successfully eliminate the bubbles, strategically choose the placement of your bubbles by shooting the rotating platform accordingly.

Playing Cards offers an experience just like a real deck of cards. With Playing Cards on your iPhone or iPod touch, you can take a deck of cards with you wherever you go and play almost any two-player card game with any other iPhone or iPod touch* user nearby.

Every game starts out with a standard 52-count (54 with Joker cards) card deck, with the ability to transfer cards between the draw pile, the discard pile, your hand, and if you are connected to another iPhone or iPod touch… the other player’s hand.

Connect to a nearby iPhone or iPod touch* to start a two-player card game. Two-player mode uses Bluetooth and doesn’t require an internet connection, so you can still play with a nearby friend even if you are on-the-go.

With the ability to transfer, flip, and shuffle cards you can play almost any two-player card game!

Here are some examples of games that you can play:
? Five-Card Draw Poker
? Blackjack (21)
? Gin
? Go Fish!
? Crazy Eights
? Old Maid
? and more!

NOTE: IN SINGLE-PLAYER MODE, PLAYING CARDS DOES NOT PLAY AGAINST YOU AS A COMPUTER. PLAYING CARDS WAS DESIGNED SIMPLY TO DUPLICATE THE EXPERIENCE OF A REAL DECK OF CARDS.

Features include:
? Transfer cards by dragging cards to different sides of screen
? Rotate iPhone/iPod to change between hand, draw pile, and discard pile
? Shake to shuffle cards
? Double-tap to flip cards
? Layout your hand by ranks/suits (books) or in a fan
? Transfer cards to top or bottom of draw and discard piles
? How-to-play guide

* Two-player mode is compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S, and iPod touch (2nd Generation). The original iPhone and original iPod touch can only play in single-player mode.
