For you iPhone/iPad/iPod touch developers out there, did you know you can change the name of the carrier that appears in the iPhone Simulator? The default carrier name is Carrier, but you can change this to a custom name of your choice.

In Terminal.app, run this command, replacing your_user with your user's short username:

defaults write "/Users/your_user/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard" SBFakeCarrier "AT&T"
[robg adds: I haven't tested this one.]
