Another iPhone Software Update has come out. This one has bug fixes, Map and Email improvements, and the ability to download podcasts over the air.
I’m attempting to download the damn thing, but it is really slow right now. Anyone else having this issue?

Normally when I see articles such as this where spam volumes have dropped between 40-75%, my BS meter starts to peg on high. But more articles are coming out stating that 500,000 bots have been bagged.
Surprisingly, we have seen the drop here at the office. We have a store and forward service and we have various statistical tools to serve us a graph of the volume. Check this out!
I didn’t think it would be a big drop, but one of the other admins pointed that out and we have seen it across all of our store and forward and relay servers. Attempts by bots and various other servers to try and send mail through our systems have drastically dropped.
What are you seeing?

I couldn’t be happier to see Ted Stevens go! For those that don’t know, Ted has been found guilty on several federal felonies and has been one of the bigger pork barrel abusing politicians in recent history.
Ted Stevens most publicized pork barrel project has involved the spending of your hard earned tax dollars on the bridge to nowhere.
Fortunately for the American people, Uncle Ted has lost his re-election bid.
My tax dollars feel a little safer now that Ted will no longer be back in Washington!

By trade, I’m a PHP/C programmer and rarely have time to really work on some fun stuff at home. But recently, I have been trying to spend some more time working on some fun projects and getting my hands dirty with XCode and the iPhone SDK.
I recently downloaded the latest and greatest version of XCode and overwrote the beta versions I had been running with before. The installation went fine and I decided I would load up one of the demo apps to make sure that everything was indeed still working as I expected.
Unfortunately, I was greeted with this:
I know, pretty clear what that error is right?
If you’re new to XCode as I am, you were probably scratching your head thinking this is really messed up. The console logs didn’t make it much clearer so I figured that something got messed up during the installation. Since I had been running the beta version before, I must have missed something in the instructions or a check box in the installation that is not causing an issue.
I tried un-installing the iPhone SDK and re-installing to see if that fixed the problem…no luck there.
I tried removing the /Developer directory and re-installing. Still no luck.
I re-applied the 10.5.5. update as I had a few issues with it when I originally installed it. Then I removed the /Developer directory again and re-installed the iPhone SDK. STILL no luck.
At this point I was starting to think that I had some library that was b0rked beyond reason and the only easy way to take care of the issue was to blow away the machine and re-install.
Luckily, I happned to find this post.
Simply removing the Info.plist from my root folder on the hard drive solved the issue.
What a freaking pain in the ass it was to find that simple solution. Thanks to Google and some helpful coders on the internet, I’m happily playing around with iPhone development.
Hopefully this blog post will return the favor or at least get their page a higher rank so others can resolve this issue if they run into it.
