If you are often handling PSD files on your system, you might have issues to preview those on your Linux Desktop system.
For the GNOME Desktop, the file-manager does not display thumbnails of the images nor do those preview with the eog image-viewer.

I am sorry for this, but even if it might surprise some people, sometimes there are more important things in life than keeping your blog updated.
Anyways here a quick overview of things that changed or matter before I get bugged at writing again:

iOS 4.0 released: libimobiledevice and music sync with Linux
Apple has blessed us with a new major release of their operating system for their iDevice range of products.
As a lot of people started to ask if one is still able to synchronize music using libgpod on Linux and if libimobiledevice and related works, I’d like to explain the current state of art here.

Passcode Security Flaw Update: it’s a bug in the iPhone OS, not a hack of Ubuntu/Linux
News spread yesterday after Bernd Marienfeldt discovered a security issue with passcode enabled iPhone devices still being accessible using a stock Ubuntu 10.04 system and now reaching major sites on the Internet.
Since those reports appear to point out that Ubuntu/Linux is “teh evil”, I’ll try to explain why this is totally false information and FUD.
The basic workflow he pointed out was:
- Set a passcode on a device
- Switch off the device
- Attach it to an Ubuntu system it was never attached before
- The device starts booting
- Ubuntu automounts the device media partition and allows access
The expected behavior is that the device would refuse to pair with the unknown system due to having a passcode set.
Now the problem here is that you can replicate this flaw with any operating system.
