Resizing a VirtualBox virtual hard disk

Resize An Existing .vdi Virtualbox Image – EASILY!
Followed the steps from this article and from comment #12 from this one to expand a 50Gb vmdk into a 70Gb vdi:

1. Created a new VM and added a new 70Gb dynamic IDE drive.  (IDE is important; it didn't boot when I had it set to use the SATA controller.)
2. Use VboxManage to clone the original cramped disk into the new larger disk:
   VboxManage  clonehd origHdd.vmdk  newHdd.vdi  --existing
3. Start the new VM.
   My VM was a Windows 2008 server, and it worked fine when I simply expanded the partition into the new space.  My drive now has 70Gb!

• Can jQuery determine the orientation of the iPhone
• HOWTO: Create native-looking iPhone/iPad applications from HTML, CSS and JavaScript - includes this tip on detecting orientation change:
  
  "If you want to take an action when the phone is rotated, listen for onorientationchangeevents on the body tag. The current orientation is in window.orientation, and it is encoded as the angle (in degrees) that the iPhone is rotated--0, -90 or 90--away from vertically upright."
