Not sure if this is true or not, but Tuaw.com is reporting that Google has told their employees they can no longer install Windows on company computers, and they must choose Mac or Linux.

Google Voice on iPhone without Jail Breaking

May 31, 2010

I have been using this for the last month or so and it works.  The UI matching a few of the built-in iPhone native apps.  There is a free version with ads and a paid version that is ad free.  This app requires you have an existing Google Voice account, and I do not have any invites left.

Separate and Append Strings in Objective-C

May 31, 2010

You can parse a string field into an array using the following code. In this example I am separating this string by ” ” or where there are spaces.
NSArray *array = [string componentsSeparatedByString:@" "];

If you wanted to take the array you built in the prior command, and join them together and separate the items by a “,” here is one example.
NSString *string = [array componentsJoinedByString:@","];

If you want to append string1 and string2, you can use the following code and the value will be stored in string3.
NSString *string3 = [string1 stringByAppendingString:string2];

Thanks for checking out my code example, and I plan to do many more, Dayton.
