Web Technologies, Social Media, Trends, and Culture
This is an exploration of sorts, delving into that gooey yet addictive substance that brings us all together - aka the Internet/web. We'll delve into web analytics, a subject I quite fancy these days. Here we'll also dabble into social media, a bit of art/photography, culture, and fun!

iPhone 101: Save space on your iPhone without removing a thing
A little-heralded feature of iTunes 9.1 is the ability to convert higher bitrate songs to 128kpbs AAC files for iPhone or iPod touch sync with iTunes. How do you do it? It's a simple check box option in the Summary tab when your iPhone appears in the iTunes source list. When the box is checked, on the next sync, all your songs on your iPhone that are not 128kpbs AAC files will be removed and then re-added, being converted on the fly.The first time I did it, about 400 songs on my iPhone needed to be converted. It took about ten minutes to do the conversion. Once the first large conversion is done, the iPhone syncs your music as fast (or slow) as it ever did (unless you're refreshing your iPhone's library every time you sync). If you keep "convert higher bitrate songs to 128kpbs AAC files" checked, any new songs added to your iPhone will automatically be converted.

HOW TO: Take Photos with Your iPad (Sort of)
Before the iPad even landed, pundits picked apart its palpable flaws, one of which is the device’s lack of a built-in camera. If you own both an iPhone and an iPad however, you can jimmy rig the former into a wireless iPad camera for $.99.
All that you need to take photos on your iPad is two apps, CAMERA-A [iTunes link] for the iPad for $.99 and CAMERA-B [iTunes link] for the iPhone 3GS (free).
To take iPad photos wirelessly from the iPhone, pair both devices via bluetooth or make sure they’re on the same wireless network. Then open both apps. You’ll immediately notice that what your iPhone camera sees is mirrored on your iPad’s screen. Simply use your iPhone as the lens, click the photo button on the iPad and your snapshot will be saved to your iPad.
If it sounds complicated, rest assured, it isn’t. In our test trials the iPhone functioned flawlessly as a wireless camera and with each snap we were able to save the photo to the iPad’s photo library (see my sample photo below).
It may not be the most ideal iPad camera solution, but it’s certainly one that works. Try it out for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments.
