Download iOS 5 Beta 6 For iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch, iPad

If you’re currently using one of iOS 5 Betas, then here’s a quick heads up: iOS 5 Beta 6 has been released moments ago. If you’re a registered Apple developer, you can legally download it immediately.




Although we were unable to try out this build yet, the more frequent pace of Beta releases (remember that Beta 5 was released less than 2 weeks ago) suggests Beta 6 to include nothing more than slight improvements and a bunch of bug fixes.

The only way to download iOS 5 Beta 6 legally is to be a registered Apple developer. A developer registration is available from Apple’s developer website for $99 per year (if you don’t belong to a company) and won’t only give you access to pre-release seeds of iOS, it will also let you access exclusive developer-oriented tools and documentation. While this subscription is indeed mostly aimed at developers, it’s almost essential for any serious iOS enthusiast to own one. Who knows, you might actually become a developer one day.

All developers are urged to update as soon as possible in order to ensure that their software remains operational on iOS 5, as well as provide Apple with accurate feedback. Updating is simple and can be done in two ways: using the new over-the-air feature which works without a connection to a computer, as long as your device isn’t jailbroken, or through iTunes. Keep in mind that you’ll need to update to iTunes 10.5 Beta 6 as well, in order to be able to sync your device afterwards.

iOS 5, which was first unveiled at WWDC, Apple’s yearly developer conference, includes several new features and improvements that had been long-awaited by iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users. Among those, a few stand out; such as Notification Center, which automatically queues up all notifications sent by apps in an unobtrusive way; Newsstand, which organizes all magazine apps in a special folder for your convenience; enhancements to Mobile Safari, especially on the iPad, such as Reader mode and a new tab layout; system-wide Twitter integration, allowing users to send tweets from many native iOS apps; and small additions such as an enhanced Camera app and a new configuration wizard that allows new devices to be activated without a connection to iTunes. The final version of iOS 5 will be available to public this fall, according to Apple.

Houston Texas Enjoy Tax-Free Shopping August 19-21, 2011


By Angela Patterson, About.com Guide

Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 19-21, 2011 - the state's annual sales tax holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.

The law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, saving shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.
Tax-Free Items

Tax free items include everything from baby clothes and diapers to dresses and t-shirts. Undergarments, swimsuits, jeans, pants, skirts and slacks are tax-free items. So are sneakers, sandals and socks. And in case the heat wave of 2010 breaks, sweaters and sweatshirts are not taxed either.

Taxed

Taxable items tend to be the more specialized, less necessary items of clothing such as jewelry, hair accessories, purses, football pants and golf gloves. Regular shoes (sandals, slippers, sneakers) are exempt, but cleated shoes, fishing boots and ballet slippers are not. A more complete list of exempt and non-exempt items can be found on the state of Texas website.

School Supplies

The Texas Legislature passed HB 1801 (2009) expanding the list of items qualifying for exemption from Texas state and local sales and use taxes during the annual sales tax holiday in August. In addition to clothes, footwear and some backpacks, this year Texas families also get a sales tax break on most school supplies (priced at less than $100) purchased for use by a student in an elementary or secondary school. Items like pencils, pens, folders, calculators, crayons and glue are tax free. Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are also exempt.
