    5 Things I Miss From Linux When Using OSX

    I have been a Linux user for over 10 years. I have used it exclusively on my home systems since that time and although it was a struggle at the beginning, I haven't had any desire to use any other operating system ... until now. Recently I purchased a MacBook Pro. Principally because I like the hardware, and can put Linux on it. However, it has also given me the opportunity to use OSX. In fact I've been using...

    Why iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad Owners Should Use Linux

    For a long time, using an iPhone with Linux was a complete no go. With a jailbroken phone, you could mount it over a wireless connection using fuse, and then sync music your music that way - but syncing an entire music collection via wifi? No thanks.

    7 Jailbreak Tweaks That Apple Should Add As Standard to iOS

    With iOS 4.2 in its late beta stages, I'm sure there will be a slew of articles predicting what's in it, and the latest new this or that. One of the "leaks" currently doing the rounds is new SMS tones and wallpapers. "Groundbreaking" as this is, it would be nice if Apple stood back, and took a look at what's in the Cydia repos, they might find some inspiration there. Happily for those who have jailbroken there...
