What is RSS?

Guess what I'll be banging on about here? You guessed it - all my Mac stuff. Now, I hear you. You're saying that there are plenty of people covering the Mac scene and that another one doing the same thing is just boring.

That's where I'll be different. I'll be sharing the stuff I learn and use. I won't be just rehashing the latest press releases. To be honest, that sort of "me too" reporting isn't fun and doesn't really add a lot of value to the world.

My aim is to add value to your Mac life.

Maximise your iPhone Battery - Haiti Survivor tale

There's an interesting story that's emerged from earthquake shattered Haiti. American filmmaker Dan Woolley used the iPhone app, Pocket First Aid, to treat himself and used photos shot under the rubble wth his digital SLR camera to find a safer spot while he was trapped.

While this sounds like ths stuff of miracles the real surprise is that his iPhone battery didn't go flat. Anyone with an iPhone will attest that the most you'll get from a single charge is about a day. So, how did Wooley get his iPhone to survive for over 60 hours.

Chances are that he disabled a few things. I've used my iPhone with 3G disabled and that's made a huge difference to battery life. Plus, bieng in a dark space, I expect that he could have kept screen brightness at a minimum and turned off the GPS and Bluetooth.

I assume that he didn't use the iPhone to catch the latest YouTube videos or listen to some tunes.
