It’s impossible to simply “ReTweet” witty things your bros post on Facebook, but you can repost links, videos, photos and events easily. You can send them as a message or just repost them to your profile. My next post will explain how to tag peeps in Facebook so you can credit them, but for now here’s how to share that video of Buzz Aldrin punching some dude.

I was talking to the king of techies yesterday and in a moment of transparency admitted he didn’t know how to get rid of Facebook invites without rejecting peeps.

There’s a tiny link below the “Yes/No/Maybe,” options that says “Remove from my Events.” If you don’t know what I’m talking about or are having trouble locating the link here’s a video.

I just published a list of Jailbreak apps that should convince anyone that their iPhone can do better. You can find the same list in my Must Have iPhone Apps list, but in the Cult of Mac article I give a healthy description of the app plus a couple of screenshots.

Here’s a tasty sample:

4. Veency

Use your iPhone from your desktop! There are tons of creative uses for this app, including accessing your iPhone when you’re just too lazy to get up and get it.

I use my iPhone as a desk calendar and then make calls through my bluetooth headset so I don’t have to direct my attention away from my work. I’m just kidding I don’t do that. That would be pathetic, but it’s possible with Veency.

I didn’t think it was possible to have a mobile device with 3G and not have to pay a subscription fee. But apparently Amazon is a big enough conglomerate to make things happen both in the US and Internationally.

Also the price isn’t too gouge-y.

You can pick up the US version for $259 and the US and international wireless Kindle for $279. You can also go big with the Kindle DX with US Wireless (no clue why no international access) for $489. You can also use Kindle on your iPhone which is one of my must-have iPhone apps.

I wrote up a complete guide to jailbreaking your iPhone or iPod Touch over at Cult of Mac. Also, I updated my Must Have iPhone Apps List to include the jailbreak list I used in my complete guide. Here’s a quote from the guide:

Why Should I Jailbreak?

Most iPhone owners know about jailbreaking, but they don’t know why it’s awesome. I mean, they gave Buzz Aldrin a rocket and told him he could take it for a spin around the earth a couple times and he took it to the effing moon. You have a tri-corder in your pocket, and you’re going to play Cro Mag Rally?

Tweaks like app switching, downloading videos from YouTube.app, sharing photos straight from you photo album, and customizing the look and sounds of your iPhone make jailbreaking seem like a no brainer. The initial hassle of spending some time following the steps below will be more than worth it when your JesusPhone realizes its true potential.

Since I mount my iPhone on my windshield for easy access to my music, I thought it would be appropriate to drill a hole in the plastic to let me take pictures and video while driving. It wasn’t difficult to do. If you have a dremel or a drill you can crank this out in 3 minutes. The plastic is durable enough to handle the pressure of the drill and there isn’t any cracking.

I have the Griffin WindowSeat which comes with adapters for ipod touch and the 1st gen iPhone. It’s a great deal/gift for someone who has an aux input in their car.

I took this video of my drive to work set to Animal Collective. The shot is a little high, but my windshield is angled awkwardly. Yours will probably be just right.

I just started posting over at Cult of Mac and here is my first post.

Every time I want to quit Facebook, they reel me back in with an easy feature that eliminates annoyances. This screencast shows you how to remove those seriously offensive farmville and mafia wars notifications from your facebook stream. You never have to look at another picture of someone’s farm again. No one will ever ask you to help them collect on debts by breaking pinky fingers. Facebook can be a better place for you to live an thrive. Check out this hastily made vid:

When I first went to pick up my iPhone 3G, I was scared. I know what my hands are capable of: Horrible, unthinkable acts of clumsiness. I’ve hurt myself. I’ve hurt others. I’ve even hurt my kitties. So why would I want to put this salvific piece of tech gold into harms way? I need to protect this treasure, specifically because I don’t have another $600 to spend on a replacement. And I will be needing one soon.

I don’t put my iPhone in a case. You shouldn’t either.

I really have only one reason why my iPhone doesn’t wear clothes, and it offends iPhone case owners every time I talk about my decision. Sure, I can mention that I don’t like the current selection of cases, but that isn’t true. I really would love to have a macro lens option on my iPhone, so the Griffin Clarifi taunts me every time I walk into the Apple Store. I can show you exactly where it is: second shelving unit, bottom row on the middle right. I can also mention that I don’t like the scratches that cases put on the iPhone, but if it’s in the case all the time, you’re really never going to see them, are you?

My only reason for going caseless is this: A case doesn’t allow me to experience the iPhone. It just means I’m using a bulkier, less attractive iPhone.

I don’t use a screen protector for the same reason. I’m just not getting the same experience if I add all this protective gear. Seriously, you look better when you’re not wearing a retainer and safety goggles. It’s a fact.

Scratch Resistance and Apple Care

Believe it or not, your iPhone is scratch resistant where it matters most. I throw my phone onto sandy countertops. I put it in the same front pocket as my keys in my tight jeans so you know there’s some rubbing. And I have yet to see a scratch on the front of my iPhone. Granted, the back has scratches and wearing on the corners, but that’s not important to me and apparently a case does that to your phone anyway.

Also, my current iPhone is a replacement for my last iPhone which was a replacement for my first iPhone. Because I don’t have a case on my iPhone, dust gets under the screen and eventually builds up to the point where I can’t stand it anymore. When I took my phone to Apple, they replaced it with a new one the first two times. Last time I went they just replace the screen rather than the whole phone.

The Trade Off

So yes, if you work construction and you like to jackhammer and talk on the phone then you should put that gorgeous piece of technology in something protective. And yes, if you go caseless you’re going to get lint under your screen. But no casual case is going to save your baby from that urinal. And since a case can’t offer you potty insurance, why not enjoy your phone the way Steve meant it to be?

If you have a google voice account, you can make free VoIP calls on your iPhone. You’ll need to sign up for a Gizmo account and download Fring for your iPhone, but after you’re done you can make free 3 minute outgoing calls and have unlimited incoming calls through Google Voice.

Ingredients
To do this you’ll need the following:

• Gizmo account
• Google Voice Account
• Fring app for iPhone

The following are optional but will optimize your experience (though Apple will hate you for it):

• jailbroken iPhone
• Backgrounder
• 3g unrestrictor

Sign Up for Gizmo

All you need from Gizmo is the VoIP part of the puzzle. You don’t need to download the Gizmo desktop client, but you will need to change some of your settings.

When you’ve signed up for Gizmo, login to your account and turn Google Voice on. Add your google voice account number and you’re set. On your way out, be sure to grab your Gizmo number which is two headings below in the Account Overview section. You’ll see a heading called SIP Number. Copy it. We’ll need to add it as a phone in Google Voice.

Set up Google Voice

Navigate to your Google Voice settings and click on the phones tab. At the bottom of the tab is an add another phone link. Click it and select Gizmo as the phone type from the drop down menu.

Once you’ve added your gizmo number, it’s time to open up fring on the iPhone.

Set Up Fring

Open up your Fring app and click on the SIP selection in the Add Ons menu. Use the Gizmo option to login to your account.

Enter your Gizmo credentials and you’re set to make calls with Google Voice on your iPhone. Fring allows you to select contacts from your iPhone and hit SIP to dial. You’ll need to be on a wifi network to make outgoing calls, and you’re limited to 3 minutes, but you can receive incoming calls and talk for as long as you want. The incoming caller just needs to dial your google voice number and you need to make disable Google Voice from forwarding your calls to your iPhone phone number.

Always Available

Fring now has push notifications so you can be notified when someone is trying to reach you. It isn’t the most reliable way to take incoming phone calls, but it’s the only way for an un-jailbreaked iPhone to handle incoming calls without having the Fring app open constantly. So this system isn’t dependable for switching to VoIP just yet, but you can make 3 minute calls for free and have your friends call you back for unlimited interaction time.

Either Way, a Smart Move

Using this system of Google Voice->Gizmo->Fring will help you cut down on your minutes, and it’s just the thing to keep you connected when you’ve run out. Jailbreaking your phone allows you to keep fring open in the background to receive calls, and it also lets you wander off of wifi. Using the 3g network for VoIP means you can lower you minute plan to nil. All you need is data. Isn’t that a Beatles song?
