IPAmaker 2.0 : Make valid IPAs from installed iOS apps

Posted on by

IPAmaker is a Windows application that converts installed iPhone/iPod/iPad apps into valid IPA files. Imagine you just bought some expensive apps on your iPhone, but iTunes won’t transfer those purchases to your computer (I’m sure this has happened to you at least once! – if not, it will happen soon  :P). What if you accidentally delete some critical iOS system files via some file browser? What if some defective jailbreak tweak screws up your iPhone, never letting it boot up? What if your iPhone suddenly stops working, and  you are asked to restore (showing the ‘Connect to iTunes’ screen)? What if you get the ‘spinning-wheel-of-death’ on your iPhone? Well, the only option you have is to restore, and if you choose to restore, you lose all your precious apps. (that’s the case until iOS 5 and iCloud become public). And when that happens, the iPhone turns into a money-eating machine. IPAmaker is here to the rescue!

Google Maps trick you probably didn’t know about: How to search for places on Google Maps using co-ordinates?

Co-ordinates are a great way to accurately define the position of objects, both in mathematics, and in the real world. As you perhaps already know, the earth is divided into a number of imaginary lines called Latitudes and Longitudes. The co-ordinates of a point in a plane is given as a combination of two values, for example (1,4). The first number indicates the horizontal distance, and the second gives the vertical distance of the point from the point of origin. Similarly, given the co-ordinates of a place on earth, we can determine its precise location on a map. You know how to search for places on Google Maps, but wait, how do you search for places using the Latitude and Longitude (co-ordinates)? What if somebody gives you co-ordinates of a place, and you need to tell him/her the exact location? Read along to find out.
