iPad tethering
Mar 8th
Want to use your iPad on the road with your iPhone’s internet connection? Jailbreak!
On the iPad:
Turn off Bluetooth, Wireless
Install iTether from Cydia (sits in the Big Boss repo if you can’t find it)
On the iPhone
Settings -> Network -> Turn on Internet Tethering
Turn on Bluetooth
On the iPad:
open iTether
should see an option to turn the daemon ON, do this
you should your iPhone pop-up. Tap to connect
Your iPad will attempt to connect via BT to the iPhone and receive an IP address.
Open up safari and head to www.whatismyip.com and you should get an address that is associated with your phone’s network provider.
Make sure you turn off Bluetooth and WIFI on the iPad. I believe iTether uses its own BT stack or something similar to connect, so the bluetooth on/off functionality is called within iTether.

With most of the counting done, ABC’s calling it 73 seats for LNP, and 72 seats for Labor. I’m going to ignore whatever’s The Australian and the SMH (and the other networks) are calling it, Antony Green’s the man to go to.
That leaves 1 Greens seat, and 4 independents. We’ll assume that the Greens will hold their word and side with Labor for 73/73. The magic number is 76, so either way, both parties will need to convince at least 3/4 of the independents to side with them.
Whilst the Coalition can claim they now have the higher number of seats, and a higher primary vote, ALP has its advantage of being the incumbent. Arguably JG is in a better position from the Govt to negotiate with indepedents, and she positively looks more Prime Ministerial when she gets to call her press conferences from the PM office. Oakeshott, Katter and Windsor all seem to have policies that are more inline with ALP’s, especially on the NBN. However it’ll be political suicide for these ex-National independents to side with Labor.
Things get more complicated in the Senate, where from July 2011, the Greens control the balance of power. This could be a problem should a minority Coalition government take place. Fielding’s threat earlier this week to ‘block supply’ (that is turn back budget bills) appears to be also nullified on July 1.
Recent developments, including Abbott agreeing to have his budget submitted to the Treasury for costing, and a NewsPoll indicating voters in the independents seats prefer Abbott forming Government, may have put the punters in favor of the Coalition. Centrebet is giving the Coalition $1.40, vs ALP’s $2.85. Earlier in the week it was neck and neck at $1.85 each.

There’s an Abbott press conference at 12.15pm today, JG press conference yesterday. She basically said ‘it’s going to take some time’. Reiterated no change to mining policy. Her govt will be caretaker mode until a new government is decided.
As of this morning, Centrebet’s odds on forming a minority government:
1.66 ALP
2.12 COALITION
According to the ABC, it looks like it’s still set for a 73/73 tie, but the independents that appeared last night on the 7.30 Report and Q&A seem to be suggesting they will lean towards the ALP’s NBN and climate change policies.
