Add ModMyiFone as an Installer.app source
Filed under: How-tos, iPhone
A while ago, the nice people at ModMyiFone put together their own installer source. This source usually has up-to-date hacks in installable forms shortly after they become public. I've been besieged by kind commenters reminding me to put up a general post to let everyone know about this. If you'd like to add the MMI source to Installer, here's how.

In Installer.app, select Sources then tap Edit (top-right corner) and then Add (top-left corner), type in http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml. Tap OK, wait, and then tap Done. MMI gets added as a listed but "untrusted" source. Oh well, you can't have everything.

iPhone Orientation: Apple Sample Code
Filed under: Developer, iPhone
Apple has posted sample code demonstrating how to handle iPhone or iPod touch orientation events through JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Whenever an iPhone rotates, it triggers orientation events that you can catch in Mobile Safari. Apple provides a sample iPhoneOrientation.js file that implements a typical handler, window.onorientationchange. CSS attributes can dynamically change how the webpage appears.
I loaded a copy of the sample over at my website. If you'd like to give it a try on your iPhone, navigate here.

Thanks, syd

Apple II: Put the Zoid back in Zoidberg
Filed under: Cult of Mac, Retro Mac
Dr. John Zoidberg is my TV Boyfriend. My husband knows, accepts, and understands. So imagine my surprise when TV Squad's Richard Keller posted about how Futurama's Zoidberg got his name. Sure, yadi yadi background stuff and then...Apple II assembly language? Wow cool!

Futurama creator David X Cohen wrote Zoid back in the rocking '80s, when Brøderbund was a gaming force to be reckoned with--although it never actually was released to market. Instead they passed on the software and Cohen was forced to entertain us with cryogenics and one-eyed mutants and, well, you know the rest of the story. "Zoid" inspired the name for my darling Zoidberg, the Dr. McCoy with a mail order medical degree.

Now here's where it gets interesting and TUAW-ish. Cohen still actually has his original Zoid game on a 5.25-inch floppy disk and, according to TV Squad, wants to find someone capable of ripping it for use on an Apple II emulator. Any volunteers? We at TUAW have no idea how to get in touch with Cohen but, hey, we thought we'd throw this one out there and see if we can make Internet magic happen!

Now open your mouth, and lets have a look at that brain!

TUAW review: WireTap Studio shows polish & promise
Filed under: Audio, Reviews
With the announcement of this year's Macworld Eddy award for WireTap Studio, the Ambrosia Software audio capture/editing app ($69/$30 upgrade-crossgrade) has clearly hit the big time. Serving as the successor to WireTap Pro and a direct competitor to Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack Pro/Fission combination, WTS has a clear purpose and a noble goal: it wants to cure you of regret.

The design and feature suite for WTS seem to say "Give me a chance to make it easier to get this right," and that's a big plus in any field of endeavor -- it's a shame they don't make marriage counseling software. With WTS, Ambrosia is aiming to set the standard for audio capture and lossless audio on the Mac, and while some features on the editing side may not be fully baked yet, the introductory version is an impressive piece of work. I've been using it to record the TUAW podcasts for the past couple of weeks, and in most ways it's a joy to work with (some exceptions noted below).
