HOW TO ENABLE TETHERING ON YOUR 3.0 iPHONE

Step 1: Check if you own a 3G iPhone. If you're on EDGE (as I am): sorry. Tethering does not seem to work with EDGE phones.

Step 2: Check to see if AT&T is your carrier. If it is: sorry. AT&T will not let you tether.

Step 3: Navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support. Notice the spaces in that last folder name! If you're at the command line, use backslashes to escape the spaces, i.e. cd ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone\ Carrier\ Support. You will find a file with an ipcc extension. Copy that file: e.g. cp foo.ipcc foo.ipcc.original. This creates a backup for when you mess up.

# ve a class that delegates functionality to a couple of objects that it
# constructs.  I want to test this in isolation. I want to make sure that the
# objects are constructed with the right arguments. I also want to make sure
# that the results from the objects are handled correctly.
#
# I'm finding it hard to structure the code and test in a way that isn't
# cumbersome. What's below works, but it feels like a lot of stubbing and setup
# for something the should be simpler.
#
# Anyone got a better approach for this?
