Tutorials and great Mac software!
A long time ago I suggested three sources for finding proper album art for movies. There is now a new website that provides the original iTunes Movie Artwork for nearly all movies. The Valkae blog is truly a simple and great place to find Apple’s stunning iTunes Movie covers.
If you rip your own DVDs into iTunes, then you probably want to have some stunning artwork to go with it. The problem with the standard Google-found posters is that they are low quality, not the right aspect ration and are filled with unnecessary text. iTunes posters aren’t like that!
Here is a list of good and qualitative resources:
I have recently made a tutorial on how to jailbreak your iPod/iPhone. Now it’s time to move on to a second part of this…
John has dropped me a mail asking how to put NES ROM’s onto the iPhone/iPod or how to get widgets into the iPhone/iPod’s file system and so I thought, why not write a tutorial!
You can not only put NES ROM’s on your iPod/iPhone if you have access to the file system – but you have access to every single item and file in the iPhone/iPod!!! Nothing is no longer safe – it’s under your control. You can write your own app for the iPod/iPhone or you can modify existing ones, add new wallpapers – all up to you! 
Just for your info, same things as far as rights and warranty of the iPhone/iPod and my blaming part in this, they are the same as in the Jailbreak Tutorial!
So, let’s get this thing started:
Do you want to get your audiobook from CD to iTunes? But not just as thousand songs – but as one file that goes into the audiobook tab both in iTunes and on your iPod? Do you even want chapters for your audiobook?
This tutorial will show you how to import your audiobook from CD and then get it into iTunes to show up under audiobooks with chapters!
So, let’s get this thing started.
This tutorial has two starting points. One of them is, if you have already imported a audiobook into iTunes. The other starting point is, that you still need to jam all of those CD’s into iTunes.
If you still need to import the audiobooks into iTunes, then start with the first step. If you have them in iTunes already, skip to step two.
I’ve walked around with iPod touch for quite a while now, and yes, it is jailbreaked! I let Ants run over my display, I play Labyrinth with the iPod’s built in accelerometer, and so on forever… People see my iPod touch and ask me, why do they not have these cool things – well cause mine is jailbreaked!
Jailbreaked means you get access to the iPod/iPhone’s firmware and then write/read on it how you like it. Apple does not allow it at this moment, though, they have said they will open the iPod touch and the iPhone up at the end of January or February. My guess is that they bring a new iPhone version at the Macworld ‘08 and make this “not-jailed” firmware a new feature.
In any case – can I jailbreak my iPod touch or the iPhone? Yes and it could have never been easier.
So before we get started, there are some points that I want to make. If you jailbreak your iPod/iPhone, you will void your warranty and all sorts of other regulations wether it be with AT&T or any other company. You are seen as a hacker in their eyes as soon as you have completed this tutorial. I know, it sounds horrible – but you are, breaking out of jail!
I struggled at the beginning if I should do it or not – but eventually I went with it because it is just awesome! New apps, features, look, everything – a new iPod/iPhone!
Is it secure? Yes. The method might sound obscure and error-filled – but zillion of people have done it and it works like a charm!
Lastly, Guimkie will not take any responsibility for anything that will happen to you or your iPod/iPhone after you have followed this tutorial. Use it on your own risk!
Having said that, I still suggest you do it!
