ok fixed the iPhone space issues for now, found a bunch of torrented files that were not cleaned up, that got me a couple of gigabytes - still have over Gig of other but figure since I have a whole bunch of Jailbreak apps, then that will do for now.
JB5.1.1 procedure sounds like a long winded PITA so will settle for 5.0.1 until iOS6.
Now wheres that JB install for the S2...

iPhone Space Cleanup
All right - had enough of the orange other space reported in iTunes sucking up space on my bl**dy iPhone.
Time to start finding stuff to clean up, step one, install openssh (I am jailbroken already), and connect to the damn thing and find space.
This is my starting point
Andrews-iPhone:~ root# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/disk0s1s1 1.4G 954M 396M 71% /
devfs 26K 26K 0 100% /dev
/dev/disk0s1s2 29G 26G 2.4G 92% /private/var

Automated tracking
Ok I have to admit that I'm confused by this one. Google are applying for a patent that covers video face recognition. Doesn't this technology already exist? Don't our governments already use this in conjunction with video surveillance? Either way the first thing my warped mind jumps to is the embarrassment of confusing your face with that porn star... Oh the one hung like a donkey that's me moonlighting...

Too late??
Firefox mobile OS (ex boot to gecko) is making it to market, well in Brazil anyway. With today's smartphone market tied up with Android and iOS, Microsoft trying to create a niche in the same space is this destined to be an also ran?

Google - Sort out 2 Factor Please!
These days of key loggers, trojans etc I am a huge fan of Two Factor Authentication. Thank You Google for Authenticator. BUT...
Why can't you get your own apps in order?
Gdrive released today for iOS, uses authenticator. For sh!ts and giggles I also installed Chrome for iOS, also released today. Chrome still uses those horrible application passwords, please not for my mobile device - its too easy to get lost/stolen etc.
Perhaps Google doesn't know what direction it is taking. Personally rolling keys so long as the back end algorithm is under lock and key (Thanks for highlighting this RSA) wins hands down for convenience and security. I don't care if I have to input my rolling key every 30 days.
By the way Apple, given the amount of criticism you have faced over iTunes accounts being stolen, where is your 2-factor "iKey"??

GDrive has arrived - truly!
Google Drive for iOS has arrived, finally.
What does this mean for me? Well first off I really didn't want to give more money to Redmond, price competitive that it first appears to be, and being cross platform for my primary concerns (My MacBook and my wife's iPad).
Dropbox is a bit small for free and paid plans are very expensive - although Dropbox's penetration into apps means it will probably stay for work purposes.
What is interesting in Australia is the iOS price plan - For 25Gb storage Mountain View's offering will set you back $AU2.49/month or $29.88 p.a. Or via iAP on iOS $25.99 for one year. Perhaps Google is going to be releasing more annual plans soon as I am after 100Gb of storage, currently the monthly cost translates to $59.88 p.a. ($4.99/month), Skydrive is $50 p.a. so perhaps Google will beat that price?
