    Box.net offers 50GB of free storage to iOS users

    Box.net has announced they are offering a promotional free 50GB of storage to iOS users, beginning at 12:01 PM PST Friday, October 14th. up to the next 50 days. Cool ha?!

    Follow these steps:

    1. Use your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to visit the App Store and download the App.
    2. Log in to your account or register for a new one directly from the app.
    3. That’s it

    On top of 50GB of free storage, accounts will receive an increased file size limit of 100MB instead of 25MB. Box.net has over 7 million users, and the app was recently updated to support iOS 5. That means the app supports AirPlay.

    The 50GB of storage is ten times what Apple’s iCloud service offers users for free, and is being offered free with no strings attached. A comparable amount of storage on DropBox would cost $9.99 per month, and a comparable amount of storage through Apple’s iCloud service would cost $100 per year.

    Box.net can be used to store photos, documents, videos, music, or other digital files safely on Box.net’s servers.

    iOS 5 Release log

    Apple today released the final consumer version of iOS 5, a major and most ambitious upgrade to its mobile operating system yet. Apple has also released Find My Friends and AirPort Utility apps, enabled iCloud accounts for everyone, flipped the switch on the Newsstand Store and rolled out music re-downloading service dubbed iTunes in the Cloud in the U.K., Canada, Australia and other international markets. The iOS 5 packed with over 200 new features.

    You’re advised to perform a full backup of your iOS device in iTunes to restore to in case something goes wrong. Simply connect your device to a computer, launch iTunes 10.5, right click the device in the Devices pane and click the Back Up option.

    Alternatively, copy the backup folder to a safe location, such as an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:

    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • How To Enable Facebook Timeline Right Now

    // Gradly // blog, Facebook, Hack, How To, News, Rants & Raves, Social Networks, Tutorials No Responses

    This morning Facebook announced Timeline, a look at everything that has ever happened in your Facebook lifespan. It’s like a story book of your life. Although the feature has been announced, it is not yet available to the public – only developers can get access.

    Things to consider:

    • You probably don’t want to do this unless you’re actually a developer. Expect bugs.
    • Only you will see your timeline at first (unless you decide otherwise), but it will automatically go public after a few days. My timeline was automatically hard-set to go public on September 29th.
    • It seems that if you login into Facebook on another machine, Timeline gets disabled automatically on all of your machines. With that said, it seems you can get back to your timeline (but ONLY after following the steps below) by navigating to http://www.facebook.com/YOURUSERNAMEHERE?sk=timeline
    • You’ll need to have a “verified” account for one of the steps, which means you need a credit card or phone number attached to the account.

    How to enable it:

    Step 1: Log in to Facebook.

    Step 2: You will need to enable developer mode if you haven’t already. Simply type “Developer” in the search box and click on the top result.

    Step 3: Go to the developer app, which can be found here should Facebook not automatically redirect you.

    Step 4: Create a new app (don’t fret, nobody will be able to see it), and give it a name and namespace (no CAPS allowed with the namespace).

    Step 5: Once that’s done, click on the “Get Started using open graph” under the “Open Graph” header.

    Step 6: You will then be asked to create a test action for your app, like “read” a “book”.

    Step 7: Next, you’ll be met with a config page of your selected action. Navigate through that page and the next three pages of settings.

    Step 8: Once you have gone through the last page and hit “Save and Finish”, after a couple of minutes, an invite to try Timeline should appear at the top of your homescreen.

    Click it, and you will be met with a page which seemingly covers every story of your Facebook life since the day you joined. Enjoy!

    Waiting for Google+ app on your your iPad or iPod touch? You can update the now-universal version right away.

    The update comes with more control over huddle feature via the app, as well as aggregated circle add notifications, stability improvements, and bug fixes.

    Download the latest Google+ update here.

    There is no native iPad app yet but I have activated the version and now works natively. Check screenshots below:

    You can make it iPad compatible without pixelation and 2x button. Here is how:

    1.  Navigate to the app you want to make compatible in /var/mobile/Applications
    2.  Open the info.plist in the applications main folder
    3.  Add the follow:

    <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
    <array>
    <integer>1</integer>
    <integer>2</integer>
    </array>

    4. Respring and then you should have a nice iPad size app
