Arrange Icons on the iPhone/iPod touch Home Screens
Unhappy with the arrangement of your icons? You can move them around as follows: First, hold down on any Home screen icon until all the icons wiggle. Now, drag the icons to their desired locations (drag left or right to get to other screens). Finally, press the physical Home button on your device. (Unlike earlier releases, iPhone Software 2.1 doesn't move just-updated apps to the end of your Home screens, so your icons should be more stationary once you've installed the update.)
Remember that you can replace Apple's default icons in the four persistent spots at the bottom of the screen with your four most-used apps!

April Fools Talk and a Few Podcasts
I've been busy with some various talks and podcasts. Most interestingly, on April Fools Day, I was invited to give a talk to Cornell University's IT Architecture Forum, a group of IT people from around the university. In honor of the date, Cornell's Mark Anbinder (who's also a TidBITS contributing editor) asked me to come and discuss our annual April Fools issues, focusing in particular on those articles that later came true and what it takes to predict the future via a prank. The second half of the program devolves more into personal reminiscences, stories from the audience about their favorite pranks, and thoughts about future pranks. Mark videotaped the entire talk and has now posted it for everyone to watch.
A few days later, on 03-Apr-08, I participated in The Ultimate Mac Roundtable on The Tech Night Owl Live, joining Rob Griffiths of Macworld, Ted Landau, Kirk McElhearn, and David Biedny along with host Gene Steinberg.
Finally, back on 27-Mar-08, I talked with Gene Steinberg on The Tech Night Owl Live about the return of the browser wars, rekindled after Apple chose to "encourage" installations of Safari for Windows in Software Update along with an important new version of QuickTime. Also in that show, Steve Sande talks about "Take Control of iWeb: iLife '08 Edition."
