If you’ve recently jailbroken your iPhone, read on. If you haven’t, stop — this article won’t help you. If you’re still reading this, you’re probably frustrated because everytime you close the MBP’s lid, it just cycles from sleep->awake over and over again. This is because you applied OS X 10.5.5’s IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg to your computer to Jailbreak your iPhone in DFU mode. But you FORGOT to reapply OS X 10.5.6’s IOUSBFamily-327.4.0.pkg to your laptop. It’s easy to forget this step when you’ve just jailbroken your iPhone and all. Just a heads up

You can download both the IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg and IOUSBFamily-327.4.0.pkg here, but you’ll need to sign up for an Apple Developer Account first (it’s free!).

Dan Vu Quoc and Nicholas Moline at Mashup Camp 6 with the iPhoneLocator

That’s right, Mashup Camp is coming back to Mountain View! I attended for fun last year competing with the iPhoneLocator application on Facebook. It was an application that pinged a Facebook app every 15 minutes and updated your location.

Unfortunately I only placed 4th out of 24 — just out of reach of any prizes. However this year there are 22 prizes! That means someone could potentially get 1st AND win 22 prizes (probably not). I’m going to be the Michael Phelps of Mashup Camp and win every prize possible. People will point and wonder if I’m some sort of android.

What the hell was Apple thinking when they released the iPhone 3G with a clear plastic gloss on the back? I remember opening the damn box, removing the safety plastic, breathing on the phone and it immediately developing scratches. I’ve seen ice cream that’s harder than the iPhone. So I decided to get a case — but I hate cases! Your choices are limited to 2 or 3 clear protectors. All of them are applied by washing your hands, getting them soapy wet, getting piece of film wet with soap water and applying it to the iPhone. Of course, the next three hours are spent cursing at the sticky film as it either slips off or gets stuck in a horrible misalignment.

I bought two of them, because I’m a baller like that. The Best Skin Ever and the InvisibleSHIELD. Lets cut to the chase, the Best Skin Ever, really is — the best skin ever. Here’s why:

• The BSE is the same exact material as the InvisibleSHIELD and provides the same amount of protection.
• The BSE’s cutout makes it much easier to apply the skin at the corners and has some amount of adjustability.
• The BSE is $8 + shipping versus $25 for the InvisibleSHIELD.
• The InvisibleSHIELD’s film has an odd texture to it that makes your iPhone look like it has a bad paintjob.
• The InvisibleSHIELD takes anywhere from 10-14 days to arrive, versus 5-7 for the BSE.
• Both make your iPhone stick to glass.

That’s all you need to know. Get the Best Skin Ever.
