G1 vs Iphone

Posted on March 31st, 2009 in Apple, G1, Rant | No Comments »

The T-mobile G1 is definitely better value for money, the amount of texts and minutes included in the £31 PM contract is impressive compared to the Iphone on o2. The only big deciding factor is that the Iphone has better apps, more memory, alot more free hotspots and generally a better user friendly experience. But not fogetting the great features that the G1 has such as google streetview and a QWERTY keyboard.

I would feel cheated if I had to choose the Iphone 8GB with o2, I can imagine myself looking back dreaming of all the extra call time and txts I could get with the G1.

Facebook Image Trick

Posted on March 7th, 2009 in Facebook | No Comments »

If your trying to view a friends profile, and the tiny image on the friend finders page is too small, you can increase the size by copying the url of the image and changing a part of the url code.

I wont show a screen shot of this because i dont want to put some random profile on here
To do this with firefox, right click the image then “Copy Image Location” then open the url in a new location.

http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile2/850/87/s1446030057_26579.jpg

change the url  where it says “s” to “n” so the new url would become

http://profile.ak.facebook.com/profile2/850/87/n1446030057_26579.jpg

And the image  is now bigger even if the profile has private profile set.
