Install Amphetamine (free), set it to “Indefinitely” for the session, and check “Allow display sleep”. While this may not seem like the optimal solution, it works and kernel panic is no more! Just keep your machine plugged in when not in use. A bonus is that it will run faster too!

I did not get an iPhone immediately when it was available because I had a contract with Sprint (yuk). Once freed from my Sprint obligation, my son and I quickly went out and purchased iPhones. <br />
<br />
What’s amazing is that my nearly 3-year-old iPhone is better and more advanced than most new smart cellphones being introduced onto the market today.<br />
<br />
Uses for my iPhone have expanded greatly since I became a proud owner of this amazing device. In addition to the touch interface, the availability of applications is the what really sets the iPhone apart from the competition.<br />
<br />
Today’s hectic and mobile world means a lot of people look to technology to help organize and simplify their lives, and I am no different. In addition to helping me stay on top of my family’s busy schedule (calendar), and keep my contacts organized, having an iPhone helps me to track email much better; allowing me to better serve pastors and others who contact me related to my ministry.<br />
<br />
Additionally, I blog from my iPhone, take notes, listen to Podcasts, watch movies, take photographs, shoot video, update my status via Twitter, check on what friends are doing on Facebook, Google continually, record audio notes, check sporting event scores, play games…and whew! The list goes on and on. All this from a mini computer that fits in my pocket!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhStghBtQyjALWyqmxV-KtrV824iqCUkDFnhiwK_jYYzZf7zaUtU4xdXsCOJwwkkQYHd5QmQBdVFOs4TE51A-oY1EMWb0D7pYzGdMmZCs0keRLWXmVO44C5D46BGASkHjRI9oxyyQ/s1600/copybible.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhStghBtQyjALWyqmxV-KtrV824iqCUkDFnhiwK_jYYzZf7zaUtU4xdXsCOJwwkkQYHd5QmQBdVFOs4TE51A-oY1EMWb0D7pYzGdMmZCs0keRLWXmVO44C5D46BGASkHjRI9oxyyQ/s320/copybible.png" /></a></div>But perhaps most importantly, I use my iPhone as an ever present Bible reading, reference and study tool.<br />
<br />
There are a lot of great Bible apps in the iTunes store, and I have tried or used nearly all of the free ones. They include excellent titles such as Logos Bible Software, YouVersion, Holy Bible by Paul Avery, Bible by LifeChurch.TV, BibleReader by Olive Tree and many, many more…both free and paid. <br />
<br />
While PocketSword may not be the most popular (or costliest) choice, it’s the one that I have settled on and use daily. PocketSword is by Crosswire Bible Society (http://CrossWire.org/sword), which also publishes MacSword and BibleDesktop for the Mac and various other titles for Windows and Linux. After having used it now for the past several months, PocketSword is officially an essential part of my “cyber” spiritual lifestyle!<br />
<br />
One of the main things I was looking for in a Bible app for my iPhone was offline use. Like most, I have a data connection most of the time, but because I travel frequently, I needed a Bible that’s accessible offline (while in Airplane Mode).<br />
<br />
PocketSword fits the bill nicely. One of the things I like most about PocketSowrd is that my favorite Bible version, ESV (English Standard Version), is available free for download. Also, both Matthew Henry’s complete and concise commentaries are free for download.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaIYOEX2pnq9Zm4EF67lqkmIxKjGJrIZIoF_IeOGQCCVqybrKA5vVV7OSBxSF3UNHiewvjLGjC-xA0b6WxaQimSIMOnZG9fxQ8ZLR2W_YypxMta0pjylypZU9IikN39GyeTwqbOQ/s1600/biblicaltexts.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaIYOEX2pnq9Zm4EF67lqkmIxKjGJrIZIoF_IeOGQCCVqybrKA5vVV7OSBxSF3UNHiewvjLGjC-xA0b6WxaQimSIMOnZG9fxQ8ZLR2W_YypxMta0pjylypZU9IikN39GyeTwqbOQ/s320/biblicaltexts.png" /></a></div>Modules for PocketSword are many, free and include a variety of language versions. There’s a robust Thompson Chain Reference (TCR) dictionary that includes supporting scripture references and facts concerning scripture listings. <br />
<br />
iPhone’s cut and paste feature is supported universally, making it extremely easy to save key passages or place into a sermon, study or other document.<br />
<br />
There’s a handy Bible History feature that tracks your past searches and scripture passages for easy retrieval. A search feature allows the user to quickly move about the Bible for phrases and occurrences of a particular word. A search on “Jesus wept,” for example – (a help menu is provided to assist the user) – quickly brought up John 11:35.<br />
<br />
Preferences that may be set by the user include font size, night mode, verses per line, cross-reference, footnotes, font and red letter; in addition to Strong’s Numbers. Morphology and original languages.<br />
<br />
All and all, there’s not a better choice – at least for free – to read and reference the Bible on your iPhone. PocketSword covers all the bases.<br />

Here's an excerpt:<br />
<br />
"Less than a week after <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9174718/It_s_here_Apple_s_iPad_arrives_in_U.S._stores">launching the iPad</a>, Apple teased iPhone users -- as well as iPod Touch and iPad users -- on Thursday by previewing some of the features in the <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9175051/Apple_previews_iPhone_OS_4_adds_multitasking_">next iteration of the iPhone operating system</a>. The update, due out this summer for the iPhone and iPod Touch and in the fall for the iPad, packs a lot of punch for developers, who get access to 1,500 new APIs and iPhone/iPad features previously accessible only by Apple itself."<br />

<br />
From their blog: "The chart above illustrates many of the services these companies provide. Some of their products have been cornerstone revenue streams, and others are just at the beginning of development. But putting them up against each other really helps illustrate each company’s focus and their possible future directions of exploration."<br />

</div>In a few hours we will usher in a brand new year. For Apple technology watchers, 2010 is shaping up to be a very interesting year indeed.<br />
<br />
It now appears very likely that Apple will introduce its long-awaited tablet computer. Rumored names for the device range from iTablet (which I think is unlikely), to iPad (possible, but probably unlikely too), to iSlate, which I think sounds more like a name Steve Jobs would like.<br />
<br />
Apple has fueled rumors by announcing a special event in late January. Many now speculate Apple will announce the device then and make it available later in the year. So do I.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's an interesting article by Business Week's Ben Kunz, titled "Five Ways Apple's Tablet May Change the World." Below is an excerpt:<br />
<br />
<i>"The timing makes sense. The iPhone is three years old, the U.S. economy is rebounding, and gadget demand is pent up among Americans who held off on toy upgrades during the recession. By spring we'll no doubt be past the holiday sales of the black-and-white e-readers that still look vaguely like medical prostate screening devices."</i><br />

<h2 class="singleh2"><a href="http://www.edibleapple.com/original-apple-i-is-up-for-sale-on-ebay-for-50000/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Original Apple I is up for sale on eBay for $50,000!">Original Apple I is up for sale on eBay for $50,000!</a></h2><div class="date-comments"> <div class="fl">Fri, Nov 20, 2009<br />
</div></div>Apple fans tend to get nostalgic at the sight of any old Mac from the mid-80’s and early 90’s. But if you really want to go back in time, take a look at this <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320451173813#ht_1695wt_1090" target="_blank">eBay auction</a> for an original motherboard from the Apple I - which was released all the way back in 1976 for the eery price of $666.66. The motherboard isn’t in working condition, but it does come with a host of other goodies including:<br />
<ul><li>The original Apple invoice for the device, presumably signed by Steve Jobs</li>
<li>The original packaging and shipping box that came with the Apple 1. And how cool is this - the return address on the shipping box is Steve Jobs’ parents house</li>
<li>A letter signed by Steve Jobs explaining how to connect a keyboard and monitor to the machine</li>
<li>A “BASIC” cassette tape</li>
<li>The original manual, which as you’ll note, displays the first ever corporate Apple logo, starring Isaac Newton himself</li>
<li>An original glossy Apple advertisement</li>
</ul>And how much will this piece of Apple history set you back? A cool $50,000 - and that’s just the starting bid. Fifty large is a huge sum of money to ask for, even for the most die-hard Apple fan or historian, and coupled with the fact that the first auction was inaccessible to buyers overseas, it’s not too surprising that there were no takers the first go around. But the seller recently re-listed the item for the same asking price, and the auction is now accepting bids from anywhere. So if you happen to have 50 gz lying around, get your checkbook ready because this auction is scheduled to end on November 22.<br />
You can check out photos of the items up for auction after the break.<br />

Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my iPhone. It is one of he most revolutionary computer devices I have ever owned. But it took me purchasing a netbook to convince me that Jobs might just have a point.<br /><br />The Dell Mini 10 I purchased had a nice build and didn't seem to be cheap at all. It came loaded with Windows XP and Microsoft Works, which seemed adequate for light duty web surfing, word processing and such.<br /><br />However, after a week of testing, installing software, configuring and re-configuring, I was pretty much a frustrated netbook user. XP is clunky at best, and I had constant problems with the small keyboard. I boxed it up and returned it to the store.<br /><br /><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSJ2lQaG2jRe-BZ2KyRGpSXguxBSswekpTxHqTh4ItNtjkBxxvaGbHtC4yASC2vCzLOTRt9IBAly_Li5B5Ka0LrpFn0R5iDPJWjBvYI3u_HC9_5Fia_bCYzrxMUCdqfQvIc7Y7/s1600-h/Dell+Mini10.jpeg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSJ2lQaG2jRe-BZ2KyRGpSXguxBSswekpTxHqTh4ItNtjkBxxvaGbHtC4yASC2vCzLOTRt9IBAly_Li5B5Ka0LrpFn0R5iDPJWjBvYI3u_HC9_5Fia_bCYzrxMUCdqfQvIc7Y7/s200/Dell+Mini10.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346250507406070594" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 130px;" border="0" /></a>Now I think I understand what Jobs meant. If a netbook is designed to provide a user a highly mobile device that’s always accessible, he’s right on. What’s more, I found the small keyboard on the Dell Mini hard to used and made lots of typing errors on it. While the “virtual” keyboard on my iPhone has its challenges as well, I must admit it compares well with the cramped "physical" keyboard on the Mini.<br /><br />And here’s an important point. My iPhone has something that most netbooks don’t possess…always on email and Internet access. That’s huge. In the end, returned to my 15-inch work-issued MacBook Pro and having mostly gotten the “netbook fever” out of my system.<br /><br />When I need something highly portable for light word processing or to make a “to do” list or look up something on Google, I don’t have to packet anything additional. I just reach in my pocket for my iPhone. No netbook today has that feature. </div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907297.post-72095789029032780072009-05-02T09:14:00.010-04:002009-06-18T17:53:59.206-04:00Considering the Netbook<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPxcSK1JvJ1mzBsSmRkgF3GgUGDTk2veabL-KAPmb8j2JOW7LM4gStfcokpQaz560Z3xCVIhA08dxNAe1r2JkRywxCUIQfSpSgp8yYx-uY3T8FLFPQcd4d3tphYnOnAnFuJX5x/s1600-h/PB12headon.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPxcSK1JvJ1mzBsSmRkgF3GgUGDTk2veabL-KAPmb8j2JOW7LM4gStfcokpQaz560Z3xCVIhA08dxNAe1r2JkRywxCUIQfSpSgp8yYx-uY3T8FLFPQcd4d3tphYnOnAnFuJX5x/s400/PB12headon.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331225698603093954" border="0" /></a><div>I am typing on arguably the one of the best Netbooks ever manufactured by Apple prior to the release of the MacBook Air.

Following is the full text of his statement:</span><br /><br />Dear Apple Community,<br /><br />For the first time in a decade, I'm getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.<br /><br />Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.<br /><br />I've decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.<br /><br />As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors. A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.<br /><br />Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause -- a hormone imbalance that has been "robbing" me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.<br /><br />The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I've already begun treatment. But, just like I didn't lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple's CEO during my recovery.<br /><br />I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continueto fulfill my duties as Apple's CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.<br /><br />So now I've said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.<br /><br />Steve</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907297.post-61340499944404830212009-01-02T23:11:00.003-05:002009-06-11T22:06:33.580-04:00Steve Jobs Health in Question<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdYFgrte7pcQ_RPHVwqYiJwyvBgduWpSMSnPCEBmTsXfzB0H_bzWpHxhwM9P-ECeXpB6za-mn8KmAiDnHx5rEe2cpEdVithM9RhBd9PGdcxHFmxn66HVgCfmQ-eF-VJPLwXa1B/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdYFgrte7pcQ_RPHVwqYiJwyvBgduWpSMSnPCEBmTsXfzB0H_bzWpHxhwM9P-ECeXpB6za-mn8KmAiDnHx5rEe2cpEdVithM9RhBd9PGdcxHFmxn66HVgCfmQ-eF-VJPLwXa1B/s400/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286916398766791010" border="0" /></a>Unfortunately, it appears reports that Steve Jobs' health is declining could very well be true.
