Annoyed to search for your iPhone IP-address every time it connects to one of your (DHCP) WiFi networks? Today you find it at 10.0.1.3, tomorrow at 10.0.1.4 because your aunt maggie just happened to reserve one of your usual IP numbers while surfing on your WiFi internet connection?
I just found out a small little extra that I was never aware of: You can use the name you gave your iPhone on iTunes to login into your phone. Just add a .local to the name.
So if your iPhone name on iTunes is twiPhone, you can always reach your iPhone by using twiPhone.local instead of a cryptic IP address. This should help you al ot if you are using more than one WiFi network with your iPhone.
Remember: The name is case-sensitive! So twiPhone.local would work, twiphone.local not!
The same name will be used for Bonjour as well. Check “Bonjour Browser” and see you iPhone registered in your network with SSH and SFTP 
So to connect via ssh use: ssh -l root (your-iPhone-name-goes-here).local

Lots of of bloggers not very pleased with the new iPad.There was 2 much hype regarding it and alot blogers got disapointed.Thing is, I can actually see some of the awesome potential of the gizmo. Third-party applications for playing music, games, papers and magazines and books, all kinds of awesome stuff, but IMHO they just didn’t really sell it right (excluding the books). It looks sort of undercooked
