Feel slightly bad for the folks at Marshall Aerospace out on the tarmac, using forklifts or putting planes together who got used to listening to ambient or Vegan-a-Go-Go podcasts while on the job.
Following the advice of a health and safety expert, the 1,500 employees of the Cambridge, UK company have been banned from using iPods at work.
“There have been no particular incidents,” said an unnamed spokesman in a press release. “But on our site there are aircraft, forklift trucks and so on moving around - and we are a precision engineering firm. We feel that people should always be concentrating fully.”
He added: “We don’t get middle-aged employees wearing iPods but we do see employees in their 20s who listen to music while working.”
Comforting to know the young ‘uns won’t be distracted on the job.
What other professions should be banned from using iPods at work?

Q: Which iPhone model supports MMS? A: The new iPhone OS 3.0 natively adds MMS support on the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS models. However the original iPhone 2G is not supported. Q: Is there a iPhone trick to make the iPhone 2G work with MMS? A: Yes, but you need a jailbroken iPhone 2G. a href=”http://www.iphone-tips-tricks.com/2009/06/iphone-tips-1st-impressions-redsn0w.html”see this post/a Q: Okay, got a jailbroken iPhone 2G, what to do next to get MMS support? A: There is a known issue that the APN settings for MMS won’t remembered after they are set. However, I found a really easy solution for that. First we need to install the ActivateMMS2G hack from Cydia. Warning: iPhone 2G only, do not install this on your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS. Please follow these steps:br /olliStart Cydia and make sure load all the essential updates/liliIn Cydia, tap search (magnifier)/liliFind this app “ActivateMMS2G”/liliTap “ActivateMMS2G”/liliTap Install/liliTap Confirm/liliTap Reboot Device/lili[added] Go to emSettings/em emMessages/em. And make sure the emMMS Messaging/em option is set to emOn/em./li/olNow you need to add MMS settings of your provider. If you don’t know these settings, the easiest way to find this information is via internet. Or try our older post a href=”http://www.iphone-tips-tricks.com/2007/11/tip-does-edge-iphone-work-on-gprs.html”HERE/a. The toughest part is to keep the APN provider settings. Mant reports on forums and blogs reporting thaht the APN setting are cleared, which results in preventing MMS messages to be sent. However, a site in a href=”http://www.iphone-tips-tricks.com/2008/07/iphone-3g-tips-apn-changer-gprs-umts.html”New Zealand/a we reported earlier will help us to keep the APN settings to remembered in a few easy steps:br /olli Start mobile Safari (should work as before)br //liliOpen a href=”http://www.unlockit.co.nz/”http://www.unlockit.co.nz/a /liliTap Continue/liliTap Custom APNbr //liliEnter the APN ex. live.vodafone.combr //liliEnter Username ex. vodafonebr //liliEnter Password ex. vodafonebr //liliV3 Tethering + MMS = select Yes/liliCarrier select onebr //liliTap Create profile/liliTap Install to Install the APN Carrier Settingsbr //liliSettings = General =Network =Cellular Data Network/liliIn Cellular Data = MMS section add MMSC url ex. http://mmsc.mms.vodafone.nl/liliIn Cellular Data = MMS section add MMS proxy ex. 192.168.251.150br //liliTap home/li/olIf you look back, the MMS settings are persisted now. Now you are ready to send and receive MMS messages.

Take note, readers: eReaders apparently offer frequent/intense mature/suggestive themes! Well, at least this one does.
On Twitter, Eucalyptus author Jamie Montgomerie says his app is now saddled with a 17+ rating, a change he made after Apple requested that he do so. (And, oddly, the app is referred to as a game on its App Store page warning section.) You may recall that the app caused controversy when Apple rejected it, primarily for it enabling you to download the text from Kamasutra. Apple later relented, but now the app has all sorts of warnings on the App Store, as shown above.
Again, the problem isn’t so much Apple’s decision—although it seems heavy-handed for a text-based eReader that only grabs content from Project Gutenberg—but a lack of consistency. At the time of writing, Free Books (App Store link) is rated 12+, while Stanza (App Store link) is rated 4+, despite it providing access to Project Gutenberg and a bunch more content.
Here’s hoping Apple soon starts levelling the playing field for all, because it’d be a huge shame for a great piece of indie software to lose sales due to having a rating none of its similar competition has.
Eucalyptus is available for $9.99 on the App Store and comes recommended if you can deal with the kind of mind-warping infrequent/mild alcohol references, infrequent/mild profanity, infrequent/mild horror themes, frequent/intense mature/suggestive themes and infrequent/mild sexual content that Apple argues you’ll find in the text of classic out-of-copyright novels.

Shots have reportedly been fired at the Apple Retail Store Clarendon in Arlington, Virginia, according to AppleInsider. One person was wounded in the shoulder, the site says, and taken to hospital in an ambulance. Police are searching for the shooter.
AppleInsider reports:
“Someone was just shot at the store and just were carted out in an ambulance,” that person said. “Unsure what happened but the store is closed down and there are police everywhere.”
Witnesses report hearing a loud bang coming from the back room followed by a woman screaming. A thin-framed, black male believed to be in his twenties and wearing a fake beard was seen fleeing from the rear of the store.
Local authorities have called in air support to help search for the suspect, who was reportedly clad in beige. The victim, whose gender and identity have yet to be identified, is believed to have been shot in the shoulder.
On Twitter, use TyroneFord appears to confirm the report:
“A friend was just in the Apple Store in Clarendon, Va and he claims there were gunshots and screams from the store room,” he tweeted.
The local ABC affiliate is confirming the report: One Confirmed Shot at Arlington Apple Store.
