"In case you missed our last SF Selenium Meetup, check out video below of the two great presentations on mobile testing. Pete Hodgsen, a software consultant with Thoughtworks, discussed how to use Frank, a new testing framework he’s involved in developing, for automated acceptance testing of native iOS apps. Jason Huggins, creator of Selenium and co-founder of Sauce Labs, followed this by demoing how to test Android and iPhone applications using Selenium 2."

"Here’s a look at our Photosynth app:"

"UK-based super hacker and long time Cucumber contributor Rob Holland announced iCuke yesterday. iCuke is a Cucumber extension that lets you write automated functional tests for iPhone apps. Here is a little teaser…"

"February 17, 2010: Imagine holding the entire sun in the palm of your hand. Now you can. A new iPhone app developed by NASA-supported programmers delivers a live global view of the sun directly to your cell phone. Users can fly around the star, zoom in on active regions, and monitor solar activity.

"This is more than cool," says Dick Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophysics Division in Washington DC. "It's transformative. For the first time ever, we can monitor the sun as a living, breathing 3-dimensional sphere.""

"You, Randall Stephenson, and your lazy stupid company — you are the problem. You are what’s wrong with this country."

"Tough times call for tough cases and that's where the recession case comes in! The recession case lets you keep cash in your pocket without sacrificing on unique design for your beloved iPhone! But just in case one isn't enough we have the BAILOUT BUNDLE - 10 cases for $7.99 or the STIMULUS PACKAGE - 30 cases for $14.99!"

"The NY Times reports that architects Irene Cheng and Brett Snyder “have created a virtual map to guide users around Manhattan to sites where projects they describe as ‘visionary’ were planned but never built. The map is available as an interactive iPhone application…that uses GPS technology to detect when a user is near any of the roughly 50 notable sites, triggering a feature that allows the user to learn about the proposal through the architect’s foiled designs and words. ‘It’s a wall-less museum where the art isn’t even there,’ Mr. Snyder said. ‘The juxtaposition of what could be against what is’.”"

"As your bear runs amok through a jungle of clunky pixelated trees, he has to contend with leaves, pine cones, and an out of control badger – all with a single paw. Multi-touch is for wussies. Still don’t get it? Here’s the entire game manual:..."

"I find it humorous to watch as IT organizations debate the merits of iPhone in the enterprise. CIOs and CTOs of major companies cite a plethora of reasons why iPhone isn’t ready for the enterprise; they bat these notions about like a piñata at a Cinco de Mayo celebration. But few of these uptight C-level naysayers seem concerned about hungry competitors and organizations with disruptive products and business philosophies who will adopt iPhone as if their future depends on it. In fact, for many, their future does depend on technological alchemies surrounding the iPhone as a mobile application platform."

"The idea builds on an installation, called Bacterial Orchestra, the pair took in 2006 to Brazil, Germany, Norway and elsewhere. This year, the new generation, called Public Epidemic No.1 is spreading beyond the microphones and loudspeakers of the original installation.

Cornéer said the current project could be hosted on any mobile phone but they chose the iPhone “because it’s popular and the centralized App Store makes it easy for the epidemic to spread.”

Check out the clip from the first test of the project above and follow after the jump for more detail on how it works."

"More than just a plugin, WPtouch is an entire theme package for your WordPress website. Modeled after Apple's app store design specs, WPtouch makes your WordPress website load lightning fast on touch mobile devices, show your content beautifully, all while not interfering with your regular theme."

"The iPhone field mode shows a lot of information. In fact, it is more comprehensive than many other phone field modes, allowing you to see the details of the individual cell towers and a lot of detail about the cell phone network. To access it, dial *3001#12345#*. If you are already in a call, just hit "add call", enter the number above and hit call; the phone will go into test mode, but keep your call connected. "

"...Here, however, Apple has gone too far. Rejecting an application because it might compete with Apple is simply indefensible. There's so much wrong with it that I'm not even sure where to start. There are legal issues to consider, in terms of anti-competitive behavior. There's the fact that Apple isn't actually offering this functionality on the iPhone, so it's not really competing at all. And hey, doesn't Apple already allow plenty of competing functionality, with apps that ship on the iPhone? One need only look at PCalc, WeatherBug, or Big Clock to see obvious examples of duplicated functionality. Yet each was allowed in the App Store without incident."

OK. Sold.
