iPhone Offline Maps for iOS 4.0+

1. Download map cache files (MapTiles.sqlitedb, com.apple.Maps.plist) and put into a folder, name the folder in simple english. Eg: folder name="sg" for Singapore map.
2. Use 91 PC client 's file manager (or any other tools) to put map cache folder into path /var/mobile/Media/Maps, create "Maps" folder if it does not exist. You may store more than 1 map, sg, hk, taipei, bj, etc. as shown below.
   
   
   
3. Set target cache file, Use iFile on iPhone. Go to map cache path  /var/mobile/Library/Caches/Maps/MapTiles. If there is a file "MapTiles.sqlitedb", remove it. Create a new file "MapTiles.sqlitedb", file type is symbolic link, pointing to the path of the actual map file you just coppied into iphone, which should be /var/mobile/Media/Maps/sg/MapTiles.sqlitedb, owner=root, 755. That's all.
4. To switch map to hk, simply iFile to cache path, and change the pointing path from sg to hk. i.e.  /var/mobile/Media/Maps/hk/MapTiles.sqlitedb that's it.

MapTiles.sqlitedb file must be in v11 for iphone 4 OS4 to recognize, (use any sqlitedb viewer to obtain map version info). If you have the earlier v5 map files for iphone 3GS iOS3, you may use map converter to convert to any higher versions that suits your device.

Here are some v11 maps available to download for iphone 4 OS 4.0+ :

1. Singapore
2. Hong Kong
3. Taipei
4. Beijing

老奶奶：我剪～！亚美尼亚：我的网络！（囧）

乔治亚共和国的一位 75 岁的老奶奶完成了让许多黑客望尘莫及的丰功伟业 -- 搞挂了一国的网络。她在自已家名为 Ksani 的村落附近寻找铜线来变卖的时候，意外地剪断了一条供应亚美尼亚 90% 私人及企业网络（和部份乔治亚自已的网络）的光纤电缆，在乔治亚铁路电信找到问题并把线路重新接好前，这些可怜的人与网络世界整整隔绝了 12 个小时之久。虽然老奶奶没有什么恶意的意图（至少不是故意破坏通讯的），但依法仍然必需坐牢三年，目前正在等待审判结果。

有趣的是，2009 年的时候乔治亚才发生过类似的事情，只是灾情没有这次惨重 -- 这种线不是一般来说都埋得很好的吗 @@。

抢盐

信谣言抢碘盐
浙江等地民众听信“海水污染没盐吃”、“吃碘盐防核辐射”谣言，纷纷上街抢购碘盐。宁波市环境监测中心辐射监测室主任徐政强：防核辐射最有效是服碘片。碘盐碘含量低，起不到预防作用，吃多了反得甲亢。日本核电厂泄漏想把太平洋搞脏根本不可能。
“问他们为什么要购买食盐，他们都说日本地震，海水都污染了，怕受影响买不到盐。”

@一毛不拔大师：说文解字：【齁】Hou
一声，指因为恐惧核辐射吃多了盐产生的不适感觉。例句：为了防止核辐射，小明全家每个人都吃了半斤加碘盐，结果都齁儿着了。

@陈晓冬Sonic：车上一个长得像猴子的家伙，拼命大声在那打电话：”快去买盐，对，什么牌子都可以，越多越好，多跑几家超市，哎呀你别问那么多。”然后这孙子悄悄来了一句：”听说非典要来了!”

@方舟子：太搞了，卫生部放射卫生防护标准委员会委员邹剑明竟提倡喝碘酒、在脖子上抹碘酒这种土办法来预防放射性碘的摄入，认为会有一点防护效果。请问邹专家，你知道口服碘片预防放射性碘的原理吗？你居然认为微量的稳定碘摄入也能起饱和甲状腺作用，那还不如提倡吃海带呢，摄入量肯定比抹碘酒、喝碘酒大。

@方舟子：比卫生部喝碘酒专家更牛的是浙江大学核专家盛正卯教授：“因为人的甲状腺最容易吸收到碘，容易受伤害，建议人们穿高领衣服或戴上围巾。”他以为甲状腺对碘是从体外吸收的，所以把脖子围起来就可以起保护作用避免放射性碘进入甲状腺了？名牌大学的专家的确牛得令人难以想象。

@和菜头：我准备辞职创业了，打造世界级的新饮料，彻底驱逐可口可乐和百事可乐的市场份额，成为中国饮料市场NO.1。当然，我肯定也会有一张神奇配方，我是不会告诉你们里面板蓝根、白醋和碘盐的比例的。

@马伯庸：袁绍官渡大败，引爆乌巢核电，辐射日盛。神医华佗说“服食碘片，可防辐射”
军中大哄，一抢而空。时先有谶谣云”若无碘片，再进碘盐”，又有童谣云“痛饮碘酒，亦能避难” 于是盐价升腾，酒水磬净 。曹操屡禁不止，只得搀着典韦的手说：”恶来啊，最近外面风头紧，你还是别出去了……”

据说抢购酱油的理由是这样的：碘能防辐射–碘盐应该也能–盐是咸的–酱油也是咸的–所以酱油应该也能防辐射(ihugu‎)

Singtel Retailer offer better flexibility / trade-in $

My old 3GS singtel contract reached 17th month, for a handset upgrade, I need 1 more month to become re-contract eligible. (call *1626 to check recontract eligibility status)
Yesterday I walked pass a singtel exclusive retailer in AMK hub, they let me re-contract without penalty, 2 yr plan / new iphone 4 both same price as Singtel shop online.
My 3GS_16G trade-in price to the shop was S$360, $60 higher than hello shop / Singtel website. I was not prepared for this trade-in, didn't backup, I could even trade-in the next day with the same price. happy~
this is the 2nd time I sign contract from tel co retailer, last time was 4 yrs back from another dealer, I got a higher discount % for the plan itself. but u need to ask, because they use official Singtel brochure.
maybe i shall walk pass that retailer shop more often when iPhone 5 launch in Sep?? =P
