iPhone with iChat

Brought to you by: James

If you know someone who can receive SMS messages on their mobile phone, then it’s easy-as-pie to send an SMS message to them using iChat.

First, Go to File/New Chat With Person. Then, in the field presented, enter +1 followed by the phone number (with area code). For example, you may want to enter “+15556226372″ for (555) MAC-MERC. If you were successful, you will be greeted by this kind message:

“Your IM has been sent to my mobile device. When I receive it, I will be able to reply. Thanks for your IM! Want your IMs forwarded to your phone? Click here.”

New Apple Store uniforms may cause confusion. We have the solution.

leavemealone 20080429 101453 New Apple Store uniforms may cause confusion. We have the solution.Recently, ifoApplestore reported that Apple plans to color-code its Apple Store employees by having behind-the-bar Genius and Creative employees in dark blue T-shirts, Specialists in light blue, and Concierges in bright orange T-shirts. The shirts will be emblazoned with slogans like “I can talk about this stuff for hours”, “I know people” and “Some artists use brushes. I prefer boxes” This will help customers distinguish between the roles of the various employees to better and more easily find the help they need.

The problem comes when the store is also populated by customers wearing message T-shirts. How annoying would it be to visit an Apple Store wearing your favorite geek Tee only to be interrupted by questions from other customers mistaking your T-shirt as one of these new Apple Employee shirts. Not a happy Apple Store experience at all!

We have the solution in our new “I Don’t Work Here T-Shirt! Simply purchase this USD$19.90 shirt in one of the 15 colors available and you can safely visit your local Apple Store without fear of being disturbed by customer questions. The shirt clearly reads “Leave me alone, I don’t work here.” and should deter any unwanted intrusions into your Apple shopping day.

New Airport Express Setup Guide Manual posted

apxguide 20080318 201052 New Airport Express Setup Guide Manual postedI’m not sure if there are any Apple fans out there with secret setup guide manual fetishes, but just in case I thought I should let you all know that the Airport Express Setup Guide Manual has been posted online.

Like I said, I don’t know why anyone would be particularly interested in this but, then again, I don’t get the deal with “unboxing” either.
