iSwifter: A simple solution for using Flash on your iPad

By

Have you ever been browsing the Internet on your iPad and come across content that won’t play because it’s Flash based?
Apple’s refusal to allow flash on the iPhone and iPad can certainly be frustrating at times as Flash is such a popular platform to develop on.
A few weeks ago we wrote about Skyfire, which is a browser that renders Flash on iOS. But if you are looking for a workaround that doesn’t require you to use a new browser or jailbreak your device, iSwifter is your choice.
iSwifter
iSwifter is a cloud-based application currently available in Apple’s app store that allows you to decode and play flash on your iPad and iPhone. iSwifter is its own browser, much like Safari, but it is also a web portal with featured content. It has a game section and a web section.
Games & Web
The game section has content guaranteed to play quickly on iSwifter. The web section also has featured websites that are guaranteed to play as well but it allows you to go off and browse the entire Internet on your own. iSwifter works very well and is certainly the best solution available right now but there are some minor annoyances. Flash content is a little clunky in terms of how fast it loads because using I swifter is kind of like browsing through a proxy.
The cloud servers delivering the content have a little lag because of the required decoding. However there are benefits to using the cloud, because when the content has loaded you are not constrained by your device’s graphics processing capabilities as it is being handled by iSwifter’s servers. All in all iSwifter is a great app that I recommend you download if you want to use flash on your iPad. If you’d like to know more, check out their site or watch the video below.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
