I am a web-developer and I guess it is different with Xcode, but I would like to have my colors in HEX, like I had them before Lion came out. Amazed with your iPhone 4 experience, but where I live almost everybody I see has a "accessibility controls" on the screen because home button doesn't work. Regarding iTunes, my library might be too big, but each morning I see it used 5Gb of ram and after force-quitting it I have to wait for like 7 minutes while it is checking the library.



BTW. Why didn't you exchange your iPhone 4 if you home-button was faulty???

I had mine for 2 years (before I switched to iPhone 5), I didn't have any problems with it.


I apply a few drops of alcohol and it works again for a while. I was about to go to change it a few times, when it is really pissing me off, but then I would have to put sim card somewhere else, and this Android phone I have is kinda horrid, plus I will loose my contacts. I have an old iPhone 3G, but you can't sync iCloud contacts to it either. And then I have to pay for what I believe is a manufacturer's defect. So I am just slowly working through a bottle of alcohol.


I think that if the button is faulty it falls under warranty and you should be able to exchange it for a working iPhone 4 for no extra charge. If you have put alcohol in it, you have probably blown whatever warranty you had left.

I had a nasty experience with a 2007 Macbook Pro 3 years ago. One morning the screen didn't come on. Fortunately I was in the US at that time. I went to the nearest Apple store and discussed with them. Turned out the issue with the screen was a known issue. They fixed it the same day. No charge because it was a known hardware-problem.

They are generally quite friendly when you talk with them.


I don't live in US, and here the service provider told me I would have pay.


Color picker (at least the version I have in Lion) has a nice menu option (View -> Display Values -> as Hexidecimal).


Sorry, thought you meant "Color meter"


Yes I mean Digital Color Meter. You're right, I was unable to find this option. But since then I moved to a better solution anyway.
