Blausen Human Atlas Lite [iPhone] – Animated Human Disease and Anatomy

Human anatomy. It’s one of the foundations of medicine and a hurdle that any aspiring clinician must surmount in his or her mastery of the basic sciences.

Faking the GPS location on your iPhone

One of the best things about the iPhone, GPS, can also be one of the worst. A downfall to GPS is location aware apps that purposefully turn features off if you’re not within a certain range. FakeLocation is a cool tweak which will take the fake GPS location in whatever app you chose. One reason why you would do this is because of the black-out restrictions in the MLB or NBA apps as well as other. Suppose you want to watch baseball games at work, but they’re blacked out since the app looks at the GPS and sees that you are in the blackout zone. What would you do?  Continue reading

Top jailbreak apps that make the iPhone even better

See additional posts related to the iPhone and iPad

It may seem hard to believe but there are still those who think jailbreaking reduces the performance of the iPhone or, even worse, is an illegal practice. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jailbreaking opens up a whole new world and dramatically expands the capabilities of the iPhone. The only people that advocate against jailbreaking are the ones who haven’t tried it or the ones that just couldn’t understand how to get it to work or the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking.

Meet the new Windows 7, Mac and Linux tablet: The iPad.

Magical. Revolutionary. Incredible. Insanely great.

Or so Apple’s marketing tells us.

However, no one can deny that the iPad is a powerful, transformational device. The iPad has seen the fastest adoption rate in electronics product history with 4.5 million units per quarter. Apple has succeeded in doing what no other company has done: creating a true third category of device to bridge the smartphone to the laptop. The iPad is geared towards content consumption but also has application in content creation. And in recent months, it’s capabilities have expanded even more. Continue reading

Top Apps and Reasons to Jailbreak the iPhone or iPod

Ah, jailbreaking. That great iPhone adventure that starts with the timidness of breaking free of Apple’s control and ends with the excitement of taking full advantage of your powerful (and expensive!) device. At one time, there was a debate about the legality of jailbreaking. Apple wanted it to be illegal under the DMCA and consumers wanted the freedom to do what they wish with devices they have purchased. Well, in the end, the consumers won and jailbreaking continues on as it always has.

For those new to the jailbreaking scene, what follows is a list of some of the best apps available for jailbroken iPhone and iPod Touch devices. For more information on jailbreaking, search Google with your device and firmware version. Generally, if you have a 3.x firmware, blackra1n should work for you and if you have a 4.x firmware (excluding >4.0.1), http://jailbreakme.com should be your method of choice.

Without further delay, let’s take a look at some fantastic apps: Continue reading
