Try iPhone apps before you buy them? Sure… if you’re jailbroken with Installous

Posted on November 20, 2010 by floridadoc

DISCLAIMER: Installous should not be used for piracy and this article in no way advocates such acts. Installous should be used as a “try before you buy” system so that you can decide if you like an application before spending money on it. If a Lite version is available, that version should be used rather than Installous.

That said…

$0.99 here, $1.99 there… oh, look at that game! Only $4.99!… (15 minutes later)…. Wow! What a waste of money!

Typically, that’s how Apple’s App Store works. Now, let’s talk about what has become a great alternative to hoping your hard-earned money isn’t wasted: Installous. Continue reading →

The Art of Medicine – Shifting the Paradigm

Posted on November 10, 2010 by floridadoc

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes genius and a lot of courage to move in opposite direction.” – Albert Einstein

The problem with many is not that they’re ignorant, it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so and haven’t experienced a new and better way of working.

For many years, I was like a prisoner. Blindfolded. Restrained. Blindly following the prevailing dogma of how a physician should act, what a physician should carry and how a physician should study. In time, I have had a breakthrough. An epiphany. It has become clear to me that one of our the greatest hindrances is that of uninspired knowledge, that of an approach solidly grounded in a pre-data driven era. An approach with a basis in pride.

Pride is a weapon. Pride pushes people in a direction, to act for good or to act for self-interest. Who would not feel good when prompted on rounds by an off-the-wall question to be able to respond correctly? It serves self-esteem. It serves ego. It serves pride. However, we must not forget that pride can also push us in the wrong direction. For every 10 things known, there are likely a dozen or more other things not known and in that fact lies the humility that must remain at all times with even the best physicians. Continue reading →

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

Review by: Brian Wells, MS-3, MSM, MPH

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. However, whether you are an experienced clinician, a sleep-deprived medical student, or an aspiring scholar in one of the other medically-related professions, you’ll find a lot to like in this application.

Faking the GPS location on your iPhone

Posted on October 30, 2010 by floridadoc

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

Posted on October 23, 2010 by floridadoc

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.

Posted on October 11, 2010 by floridadoc

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 →
