Phonegap error: ERROR whitelist rejection

Amir Sahib — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:56:15 +0000

So I got this error when trying to run my PhoneGap app:

ERROR whitelist rejection

This was due to me including jQuery Mobile js and css files. The solution was to add ‘code.jquery.com’ to the “ExternalHosts” field in the file PhoneGap.plist in the Supporting Files directory of your app directory.

Android FTW!

Anyone can enter the pop music industry

Saw this on reddit:

Then a fellow redditer auto tuned and dropped the beat on it:

It’s all about auto tunes and the beat. Obviously the first video shows the person’s true voice, but when auto tuned and with a beat in the background, it’s very close to the original song by Kate Perry. Therefore pop music is crap.

Update: Here is another video of him auto tuned:

It’s looking good so far. I see they mimic’ed Mac’s “icon finder thingy” (forgot what’s the proper term) on the left. It loads faster.

So far so good.
