Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
I just noticed it today, that YouTube Mobile has gone live. On iPhone, youTube videos will automatically open in YouTube app.
The warning is pretty funny.
Information:
YouTube Mobile is a data intensive application. We highly recommend that you upgrade to an unlimited data plan with your mobile service provider to avoid additional charges.

I’m fortunate enough to find out that FiOS was available in my area. I ordered it and had it installed sometimes in 2007. Currently I have the 15Mbps up and 2Mbps down. I’m want to upgrade to the 15/15 service.
This is one of many reasons to get FiOS, and it actually peaked at 1.8MB/s:
Apple releases iPhone and iPod touch Software 1.1.4 today.

iPhone Web Clip Icon has been widely publicized, so there’s nothing really new here. This post basically is for my personal reference.

Create a Web Clip Bookmark Icon
iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a Web Clip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named “apple-touch-icon.png” at the root directory of your web server – similar to the “favicon.ico” for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”/customIcon.png”/> within the <head> element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57×57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.
Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard “glassy” overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.
Apple recommends the size of the icon as 57×57 pixels, but as we all can see, Apple’s own Web Clip Bookmark Icon is 129×129 pixels.
