'American Idol' is on the iPhone

2009-03-11T06:35:00.000-07:00

This $1.99 app, which appeared on the iTunes store Monday night as an exclusive to the iPhone and iPod Touch, turns the iPhone into a portable "American Idol" tracker. It shows headshots of season eight's final 13 contestants. Every week, the rankings will change to reflect who is still in the competition. Better, though, is the fact that you can predict the final rankings, call out the winners and have your prediction marked with a date and time — just so you can prove you prognosticated perfectly. So, yes, you can show people that you picked Michael Sarver before anyone else to be the winner.
The "Idol" iPhone game will include live-action footage of 15 other contestants, all played by unknown actors, a rep for the project told MTV News. Players have to make that all-important decision about which songs to sing, as well as taking other strategic steps on the way to becoming the next American Idol. As for the singing, players won't be crooning at all. Instead, they'll need to tilt the iPhone in different directions to match the rhythm of the competition's music. It's a tilt version of the kind of pattern-matching that players of "Rock Band' or "Guitar Hero" use to rock out in those games.
Clips of the judges' commentary have been culled from the show and will be used to critique each performance. Get ready for Simon Cowell's harshest barbs to be directed right at you.

Should we reconsider legalizing marijuana?

2009-03-10T06:57:00.000-07:00

"What do President Barack Obama, Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and musician John Lennon all have in common?

They’ve all smoked pot.

An anti-drug speaker once told a group of students that if we smoke pot, we won’t get anywhere. This speaker must not have been aware of these influential men. Any facts she had to show the evils of marijuana were made void by that statement."

Cydia Store Sells Jailbroken iPhone Apps

2009-03-09T07:26:00.000-07:00

iPhone and iPod Touch owners rejoiced when Jay Freeman released Cydia, a software installer for jailbroken iPhone OS. The Cydia store was launched on Saturday for developers to sell their apps for jailbroken iPhone and iPod Touch devices. Independent developers will now have a platform to sell their applications outside Apple's 'Walled Garden' - the App Store.

Jailbreaking is a process to enable an iPhone OS-based device to bypass the digital rights management for privilege escalation. Users can install applications that are developed by independent developers whose applications aren't available in the official App Store.

Cydia application installer already includes applications like Cycoder that turns the iPhone into a camcorder, and PdaNet, which turns the iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot, using the data connection.

Freeman's Cyntact is the first paid package in the Cydia Store. Cyntact shows the contact's profile picture in the contact list. However, this application faces some conflict with the IntelliScreen app.

Freeman in an interview with Wall Streen Journal said that Cydia Store "intends to charge developers no more than the commission Apple does for his site's billing services."

It has been reported that two more rival App Stores are underdevelopment of which one focuses on selling porn-themed games for the iPhone.

Watchmen Game for the iPhone

2009-03-09T07:24:00.000-07:00

The new movie Watchmen launched last Friday and it looks cool. The movie follows a group of super heroes and the product tie-ins include video games. The iPhone and iPod touch are getting a game based on the movie that is available now.
The game is called Watchmen: Justice is Coming and justice is cheap too at under a buck on the App store. The game offers 3D graphics and is a MMORPG title that lets players fight in a virtual New York City of the 1970’s.

The game is set before the movie events and the servers for the MMORPS game are from Amazon’s cloud platform. Players can create their own super hero avatars and take on enemies and adventure through the city.

MacBook Touch/iTablet/iPhone HD Panels

2009-03-09T07:13:00.000-07:00

Straight from rumorville...

MacRumors is reporting on a Digitimes story that says Taiwan-based supplier:

Wintek revealed that it is currently working with Apple to develop some new products, but it said it does not know what applications the new products are for.

Apple has denied interest in producing both a tablet and a netbook in the past, which is what they do both when they really have no interest, and also when they’re about the release something. What with all the new hardware Apple dropped last week, TiPb has speculated that the March 24th date for a rumored Apple Event could be used to debut the iPhone OS 3.0 beta, a higher resolution iPhone HD… or an iTablet form factor.

If Apple does release a new device, would it really be a netbook scale version of Mac OS X or a large-size iPod touch running the iPhone version of OS X? Either way, developers would need time to ramp up (or down) their apps. Either way, could this be more fuel for that fire, or simply more grist for the rumor-mill?

Web Sites Sell Phone Apps Online

2009-03-08T13:11:00.000-07:00

Apple Inc. faces a growing threat to its iPhone business, as renegade stores spring up online to sell unauthorized software for the device.
The developer behind some popular iPhone software on Friday plans to open a service called Cydia Store that could potentially sell hundreds of iPhone applications that are not available through Apple's official store.

Users must download special software that alters their iPhones before they can run these programs.

Another small company plans a store called Rock Your Phone for iPhone users who have not yet modified their devices to make it easier to download and buy unauthorized applications. A third start-up is building an online store that specializes in selling adult games for the iPhone.

The new stores take aim at one of the underpinnings of the iPhone's success: Apple's App Store.

The upstart sites can carry software programs that Apple's official store won't, since the company tightly controls the kinds of applications it allows.

Among the programs that Apple doesn't allow is a free one called Cycorder, which turns the iPhone into a camcorder. Another program, which costs $29, dubbed PdaNET lets people use their iPhones as laptop modems to connect to the Internet.

President Barack Obama, left, on January 20, 2009 and on Wednesday, June 11, 2008. (CBS)

Hey dipshits at Fox.com, CNN, CBS, and every other substantial News source. Why are you talking about his hair color so much?

Lack any brains to write about actual events? There's still a war going on....

Obama dyed his hair for the election you retarded bitches. Look at pictures of him back when he was a senator.

He just stopped giving a fuck what you people think - He has way more important shit on his mind than making sure he rinses with Just For Men at 530am when he wakes up while youre still sleeping, passed out from watching American Idol and Deal or No Deal re-runs.

Please ignore news stories with no resonance in the community.

Zynga’s “Scramble Live” on iPhone & iPod Touch

2009-03-05T06:20:00.000-08:00

Zynga (www.zynga.com), the largest social gaming company, announced today the launch of “Scramble Live”– the mobile version of its wildly popular word game – exclusively for the iPhone and iPod Touch. “Scramble Live,” a fast-paced casual game that challenges players to quickly find words in a grid, marks the first word game on the iPhone that allows players to compete live with other users on Facebook, the iPhone, and iPod Touch in real time. Scramble is currently one of Facebook’s Top 25 games with more than 1 million monthly active users and its popularity continues to grow.

“Scramble Live” takes full advantage of multi-touch technology through gameplay and uses the iPhone and iPod Touch’s accelerometer and multi-touch to rotate the board. At the end of each round, players are shown how missed words are formed on the board. The game includes three modes of play:

Solo – Play in ladder mode to beat your friends’ scores
Live – Play against other users in real time
Play & Pass – Play with up to three other people sitting next to you on the same device

“Scramble Live” is available for all first and second-generation iPhones, as well as all first and second-generation iPod Touches. “Scramble Live” is available for $4.99, with a $2.99 limited-time launch special. The game is offered in the iTunes store at: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=305904527&mt=8.

Kindle 2 vs. Kindle for iPhone Application

2009-03-04T06:18:00.000-08:00

I bought a Kindle 2 last week, after a year of waiting for the second iteration of Amazon's e-book reader. I was hesitant at first, as I still love reading hardcover and paperback books, but the free cellular Web access and the addition of magazine subscriptions from publications like the New Yorker had me convinced. I've had it for a week now, and I love it. It feels great in my hands, and the e-ink screen creates the illusion of a reading a real book. I can hold it in my hand and read from it for hours.

So when I first heard that Amazon released the Kindle application for the iPhone, I immediately second-guessed my purchase of the Kindle 2. Did I make a foolish purchase? Why wasn't I patient enough to wait for the iPhone application? A free iPhone app is definitely a lot cheaper than the $359 for the Kindle 2. So I downloaded the Kindle for iPhone application to find out if I should send my Kindle 2 packing with a return slip.

Also, the Kindle iPhone application does not resolve my earlier complaint about reading ebooks on the iPhone. Reading on the iPhone's screen for a long duration is just not very enjoyable. This is especially apparent if you encounter long paragraphs with no breaks in the text -- the entire screen of the iPhone becomes just one block of words and can be difficult to read. If you want it for reading in short bursts however, this is acceptable. But for longer reading while relaxing on the couch, the Kindle wins.

I downloaded those same comic samples to the Kindle application on the iPhone. I still couldn't zoom in, and it's still hard to read the word balloons. But I was awed and amazed that they arrived in full-blown color. Yes, I couldn't read any of them, but it gave me a small glimmer of hope that maybe some day there'll be a way. Until then, I guess I'll have to live with the individually-sold iVerse comic applications.

Apple's iPhone Controls Most of Mobile Web Use

2009-03-02T07:10:00.000-08:00

In its first detailed look at web market share for cellphones, a research firm has found that Apple's iPhone represents a staggering 66.61 percent of mobile traffic while its competitors have only just gained a foothold.

Other smartphone platforms haven't fared any better, according to the metrics. Google's Android and Symbian were both locked in a tie for 6.15 percent. Research in Motion's email-centric BlackBerry OS was used less often at just 2.24 percent and was even outmatched by PalmOS devices, which represented 2.37 percent of cellular web use last month.

The news may have to placate Apple fans given a fairly stale month in desktop-class operating systems. Windows has reclaimed a small portion of its steadily declining share and climbed a fifth of a point to 88.42 percent, while Mac OS X share has backed down from its all-time high in January to 9.61 percent.

iPhone Fart App 'Pull My Finger' Still In Dispute

2009-02-19T07:06:00.000-08:00

The producer of a farting iPhone app is making a legal stink over another flatulence app in a looming trademark battle over the phrase, "pull my finger."
The brouhaha concerns Air-O-Matic of Florida, the maker of the popular "Pull My Finger" app, which claims the maker of rival "iFart Mobile" is misappropriating the phrase "pull my finger" in its advertisements. Such an assertion, according to iFart Mobile maker InfoMedia of Colorado, reeks of an misunderstanding of American fart culture.

Kevin Houchin, InfoMedia's lawyer, explains:

The phrase "pull my finger," and derivations thereof, are generally known and widely understood in American society to be a joke or prank regarding flatulence. The prank begins when the prankster senses the deep stirrings of flatulence. The prankster then requests that an unsuspecting person pull [his or her] finger. The prankster extends his index finger to the victim. As the victim pulls the prankster's finger, his flatulence erupts so as to suggest a causal relationship between the pulling of the finger and the subsequent expulsion of gas. In other words, the phrase "pull my finger" is understood to be a description of the act of passing gas.
"InfoMedia's efforts have been directed at merging 'Pull My Finger' and 'iFart' in the consumers' minds, so that searches for 'Pull My Finger' pull up the iFart application," AOM attorney Karen Koster Burr wrote (.pdf) InfoMedia in a letter demanding $50,000 payment.

Adult Industry Has SomeTech Ideas

2009-02-18T07:43:00.000-08:00

If the desperation at the XBIZ Conference this week is any indication, the adult industry is now in a frantic struggle to adapt to the digital era and find a profitable business model that will work on the web.
That is leading to all kinds of innovation. A device called RealTouch relies on ‘haptic’ technology to allow viewers to literally ‘feel’ what is going on on-screen. Here’s how it works: the user plugs an egg-shaped device into a computer, inserts his penis, and then can simulates the sex acts occurring in a porno film, aided by heat or lubricants.
At the end of the conference on Wednesday evening, one new idea was attracting notice: a gyrating, woman on an iPhone who stripped progressively.

Why is Apple such a douche sometimes?

2009-02-17T07:49:00.000-08:00

First of all there's those ads ^ which are just lame I mean seriously, come on.

And then there's stuff like this: APPLE ABSENT FROM UNIVERSAL CHARGER PUSH, where it's just obvious that they aren't driven to help their customers, but instead are more interested in their financial success. But can we really hold that against them?

They are certainly within their right, obviously, to make their products as exclusive as can be. And with a reliance on quality over price, Apple has definitely found their niche. With excellent customer service, (they even taught my 80-year-old grandfather how to use a computer), Mac has carved itself a place in the tech world no other company could ever hope to replace.

But this is where the problems begin...when you realize that because Macs are Macs, and are not compatible with the rest of the tech world, it becomes more difficult to upgrade your hardware, especially laptops, software can be really difficult to find for the mac, and even things like that little jack for your headphones on the iPhone doesnt allow you to use your favorite pair of Seinheissers, so you have to shell out the 20 bucks for the mac headphone earbuds (which look retarded in my opinion) and the charder etc etc etc.

The iPhone is the shit. You can watch Porn on it, anywhere, iPhone-Porn.us has solved that for us...but I want to see Jobs and the rest of the Apple team take a nod from Obama and stop worrying about their stock prices for once, just once...make a universal charger and stop being a fuckin DOUCHE.

Top 10 iPhone Games - MORE!

2009-02-17T07:41:00.000-08:00

10. JellyCar (Free)

You said: "You guide your car through various courses trying to complete in the best time. The game uses 'Jelly Physics,' where your car bends, stretches and even breaks. It seems silly at first but after a few minutes, you're hooked!"

Our take: Based on the Xbox Community Game of the same name, JellyCar has clever crayonlike graphics and a unique gameplay gimmick where your gelatin-based vehicle rolls and smooshes its way toward the goal. Figuring out the physics can be challenging, and playing with the iPhone can be a bit of a pain. You have to press the left and right areas of the screen to get the car accelerating, then tilt the iPhone to add rotation to the vehicle. A few minutes of this and it's carpal tunnel time.

9. WordWarp ($1)

You said: "Take six given letters and make as many words as possible in the time limit."

Our take: Do you enjoy playing Jumble in the daily paper? Just like the well-known pen-and-paper puzzle, WordWarp gives you a scrambled six-letter word. You're tasked with unscrambling it, but also with coming up with as many smaller words as can be made from its letters in a two-minute time window. The "warp" feature lets you randomize the letters, which helps when forming words. Unfortunately (and aggravatingly), the word list isn't complete -- we found a lot of words it didn't accept.

8. Cube Runner (Free)

You said: "Free and highly addictive."

Our take: Looking very much like an early prototype of Star Fox, Cube Runner is a very simple exercise in not screwing up. Pilot your ship by tilting the iPhone left and right. Don't hit any of the cubes. For each second you stay alive, you get points; crash and it's game over. No checkpoints, no goal other than a high score. Cube Runner makes great use of subtle and responsive tilt controls, but it's less a test of your gamer aptitude than an exercise in seeing how long you can be exposed to the same repeating stimulus until you inevitably get distracted and crash.

7. Tap Defense (Free)

You said: "Set up turrets, then let the demons attack. It's great for playing in short bursts."

Our take: You're lucky we even let this one on the list, considering we covered its genre to death with Crystal Defenders and Field Runners in our previous Top 10. Tap Defense is nearly identical to those games -- waves of enemies approach your position, and you have to set up increasingly powerful sets of weaponized defense towers to hold them off. Once you buy and place your towers and the enemies flood in, there's nothing you can do except wait to see if your automatic defense system works.

6. Topple (Free)

You said: "Fun, casual stacking game from the folks that made Rolando. Bought Rolando but seem to end up playing this free game more. It's fast and fun and makes great use of the iPhone interface."

Our take: Blocks fall from the sky. But instead of just rotating them by 90-degree increments and placing them in neat piles, you have to drag and rotate them with your fingers, then gently build a stack that doesn't fall over. At first it's easy, but then you get more-challenging oddly shaped platforms (above) and things like eggs that don't stack perfectly. It's charming, addictive, works very well with the iPhone -- and you can't beat the price.

5. iShoot ($3)

You said: "Seriously? How could this not be at the top?"

Our take: Hey, it's Scorched Earth! We used to play this in high school on the computers in the library. This classic DOS game pitted four tanks against each other in turn-based, 2-D battle. Each tank takes its turn firing off a round of ammo, which destroys other tanks as well as the environment. Last tank standing wins, and you can buy more weapons between rounds. In iShoot, you can aim with the touch screen. Otherwise, it's pretty much identical to the classic, down to the taunting battle cries from your opponents.

4. Trism ($3)

You said: "Bejeweled-like but better, with tilt controls and more complex movement/combo possibilities. Very addictive. You can save games too (they can last quite a while). I would pick Trism over Bejeweled every time."

Our take: I'll agree with this -- Trism is much more complex than Bejeweled. So much so that it seems to be out of my league. Matching three like-colored gems by sliding the diagonal rows of pieces is one thing. But going beyond that initial match to set up combos isn't something my brain can process. Especially since you can alter the way the blocks fall by reorienting the iPhone so "down" is a different direction. Clever. But I just started sliding the rows in all different directions and racked up crazy combos by tilting the iPhone around randomly. Trism might be great for puzzle nuts, but I wouldn't call it casual.

3. Wurdle ($2)

You said: "Wurdle is similar to the board game Boggle, but even more addictive. Wurdle is the only game which has the privilege of living on my home screen."

Our take: One of many Boggle clones in the App Store, Wurdle's gameplay will be immediately apparent to you if you've ever played the famous word-creation game. Join up contiguous letters from the randomly generated 5x5 grid to make as many words as you can in 12 minutes. The word lists are far more complete than WordWrap's, so it'll recognize just about anything. But you won't even make a dent in the list of possibilities. If a 5x5 grid is too much for you, competing game Quordy ($3) is almost identical to Wurdle, but with a 4x4 grid instead.

2. Galcon ($5)

You said: "So easy, yet so challenging."

Our take: This is my favorite of the iPhone games recommended by Wired.com readers. It's a lightning-fast game where you and your opponent start out with a planet, and quickly start dragging your ships to nearby planets to take them over. The number on each planet is the number of your ships it'll take to conquer it. Each time you take over a planet, it starts generating more ships depending on how large it is. So the optimal strategy is to drag your ships to large planets with small numbers. Games take a minute or two at most -- you don't have time to plan a huge strategy, just to think on your feet.

1. Lux Touch (Free, deluxe version is $8)

You said: "A casual, Risk-like game that is thoroughly addictive. Can't save, but hey, it's free. And you can finish most games in 10 to 15 minutes."

Our take: Similar to Galcon, Lux World is about taking over territory and building your armies in a short span of time. But this game is turn-based instead of real-time, and hard instead of easy. In each turn, you can attack neighboring territories, place more armies on the map and shuffle their positions around. But it takes a careful balance of offense and defense to secure more land without leaving yourself vulnerable.

No More Ananymous Calls - Unblock blocked calls.

2009-02-17T07:35:00.000-08:00

The service, called TrapCall, is offered by New Jersey's TelTech systems, the company behind the controversial SpoofCard Caller ID spoofing service. The new service is likely to be even more controversial — and popular.
"What’s really interesting is that they’ve totally taken the privacy out of Caller ID," says former hacker Kevin Mitnick, who alpha-tested the service.
TrapCall instructs new customers to reprogram their cellphones to send all rejected, missed and unanswered calls to TrapCall’s own toll-free number. If the user sees an incoming call with Caller ID blocked, he just presses the button on the phone that would normally send it to voicemail. The call invisibly loops through TelTech’s system, then back to the user’s phone, this time with the caller’s number displayed as the Caller ID.
TelTech is no stranger to controversy. Its Spoofcard product lets customers send any phone number they want as their Caller ID. Among other things, the spoofing service has been used by thieves to activate stolen credit cards, by hackers to access celebrities’ voicemail boxes, and by telephone hoaxsters to stage a dangerous prank called "swatting," in which they spoof an enemy’s phone number while calling the police with a fake hostage situation. The goal of swatting — realized in hundreds of cases around the country — is to send armed cops bursting into the victim's home.
“The only way to block your number after this is released is to use Spoofcard,” he says with a laugh.

Casinos FREAK over iPhone Card Counting App

2009-02-17T07:07:00.001-08:00

An iPhonecard-counting system recently turned up in a California Indian casino. This new application is causing a lot of fuss, and Nevada gaming regulators have issued a general alert about it, warning Las Vegas casinos about its potential use in gameplay.

That's not the case across the country. In New Jersey, the case of Uston v. Resorts Internation Hotel Inc was decided in the gambler's favor, as the state Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Atlantic City casinos could not bar skilled players. It's different in Las Vegas—they can bully, harass, and back off customers so long as they stay within certain legal boundaries.

So when it comes to Las Vegas, while thinking isn't technically illegal, casinos can and will choose to kick you out when you think too much or too well. But using assistive devices? That is definitely illegal pretty much everywhere, whether you're gaming in NJ, Nevada, or California. In Nevada, you can count in your head all you want, but the second you start using technological assistance, you've crossed a line and are committing a felony.

In Nevada, each casino makes its own rules regarding the policing of electronic devices at gaming tables. Obviously not all devices are used to give players advantages. I'm sure it's nice when you can call the wife on your cell phone and say you'll be a little late returning to the hotel room, for example.
Casinos are well aware of the hazards though. Harrah's Entertainment banned the iPhone at the World Series of Poker shortly after the iPhone debuted. With this latest system exposed and the flexibility and programability of smart-phones on the rise, you can expect more crackdowns on electronic device use near the gaming tables.

For the boys: Bo and Real Touch (see it in action here>: Sexy gadgets aren't just for girls—after years of giving all the good sex tech to the ladies, companies are finally starting to take notice of the other half of the population. We've got two good picks for boys. First up is thethe Bo, a ~~cock~~ gentleman's ring that—with its sleek silicone body and rechargeable motor—leaves those gummy rings with bullet vibes trailing in the dust. Secondly, there's the Real Touch, a robotic vagina that syncs with your favorite porn clips. It won't actually be on sale until later this month—but this is one IOU you can probably get away with.

For the porn loving lovers: FyreTV: If your idea of a romantic evening is watching other people getting it on, than look no further than FyreTV this Valentine's season. The discreet, Wi-Fi enabled box provides streams porn directly to your bedroom. And since their database of adult entertainment is constantly being updated, its definitely a gift that keeps on giving.

For the girl who has every (sex) gadget: Sasi: A few years ago, it seemed as though vibrator tech had pretty much reached its peak. Sure, you could make the batteries last longer, or switch up the pulse patterns, or find a funny new animal to stick on your toy—but for the most part, vibrator functionality was pretty much set. Vibrators were pieces of plastic that went inside the vagina or on top of the clitoris and vibrated. Maybe they twirled around a little, or had rotating pearls, but that was about the extent of their moving. Until the SaSi. With a revolutionary new method of stimulation, and programmable patterns, it's the best thing to happen to vibrators since, well, the birth of the vibrator.

When money is no object: Lelo Inez: We used to think that JimmyJane's $3250 Little Platinum Eternity was the height of luxury vibes—but that was before Lelo came out with Inez. The latest addition to the Lelo Luxe line, Inez will run you anywhere from $7900 (for stainless steel) to $10,500 (for gold plate). Money may not be able to buy you love—but giving someone a $10.5k vibrator will probably get you pretty far anyway.

Porn is Gold

2009-02-11T07:53:00.000-08:00

This week, intrepid reporter Tracy Moore took it upon herself to answer the age-old question How can I still afford to drink, smoke and screw to my heart's delight when I'm broke? What came of that query was Cheap Thrills: Your Recession-Friendly Guide to Vice in Nashville. In it you'll find a handy sinnin'-on-the-cheap how-to. You'll also find a perhaps unsurprising conclusion: even as paychecks suffer, the demand for vice does not.

Billed as "the world's first and only investment community designed specifically for the adult entertainment industry" (i.e. a porn hedge fund), AdultVest has pumped money into operations like iPorn, a start-up looking to, you guessed it, deliver porn directly to Apple's iPhone. As AdultVest CEO Francis Koenig put it to the Atlantic Monthly: "You've got six billion people on the planet and they're all horny."

iPhone Porn - #1 searched for iPhone search term

2009-02-10T09:32:00.000-08:00

It is interesting to note that porn and overall adult industry is always the #1 most popular thing on every single platform, including the iPhone.

Hot iPhone Game List

2009-02-09T07:33:00.000-08:00

There’s always a wide variety of entertainment and gaming options on your iPhone and iPod touch, thanks to the ever-expanding selection of titles on the App Store. Here’s a roundup of some recent releases.

Time Crisis Strike

Time Crisis Strike is an on-rails 'duck and shoot' arcade-style game for the iPhone and iPod touch.

Namco Networks has released the $5.99 Time Crisis Strike, an iPhone and iPod touch game based on the popular “duck and shoot” arcade game. You shoot at terrorists and bad guys by pointing at them on the screen, and you reload and dodge their bullets by tilting the device either away or towards you. Arcade mode, “Crisis Missions” and other features round out this game.

Days of Thunder

Available for 99 cents for only a few days, then it goes up to $4.99—Freeverse Software’s Days of Thunder, licensed from the Paramount movie. It’s a stock car racing game in which you have to knock your opponents out by “rubbing” them and hitting them to get them off the road. “Rubbin’ is racin’!”

Photo Spot

In Photo Spot, your goal is to spot the differences in the two photos before time runs out. The 99-cent game features more than 100 sets of images, the ability to save game progress and support for your own soundtrack.

Treasure

Treasure makes you a pirate who’s out to capture all the treasure he can. It’s a brick bashing game similar to Breakout, but there is no paddle—you control the ball. You have to clear each board of differently colored bricks to change the color of the ball. There are powerup bricks and poison bricks. It costs 99 cents.

Circuit Defenders

Sector3 has released Circuit Defenders, a $2.99 tower defense-style game where you must defend your computer’s circuits from being attacked by virus armies. The game features 10 levels, a variety of tower types with upgrade attributes, automatic save and online high scores.

SlotZ Racer updated

Freeverse has released an update to SlotZ Racer, its slot car racing game for the iPhone and iPod touch. The 1.1 release adds a new Track Manager page, lets you spruce up your track designs with scenery, adds five new camera modes, a Shake feature, four new cards, four bridge heights and more. The update is free for users, and the game costs $2.99.

SpongeBob Tickler

Nickelodeon is bring games and entertainment products to the iPhone and iPod touch starting with SpongeBob Tickler. For $1.99, you can shake, poke and stretch SpongeBob SquarePants, make him dance, blow bubbles and more. Just the thing if you have a young SpongeBob fan who you want to entertain with your iPhone.

TapStar

In TapStar, you have to test your reflexes to perform various commands at a faster and faster pace. The game features five increasingly different puzzle levels and a party mode. It costs $1.99.

Golf Smak

Golf Smak, for 99 cents, isn’t a game as much as a way to smack talk and have a good time the next time you’re golfing. The game features more than 50 sound bites to liven up your next round on the links.

LuckyDice (Valentine’s Fun)

Viximo’s 99 cent LuckyDice (Valentine’s Fun) is a romantic dice game that tells you what to do next, each time you give the dice a roll (which you do by shaking your device).

LovePotion

From the same company that makes LuckyDice comes LovePotion, a 99 cent app for Valentine’s Day that lets you brew “a potent passion cocktail” that you can pass along to that special someone.

Jesse Jane talks Porn and iPhone

2009-02-06T06:31:00.001-08:00

There’s always new stuff going on. Just in toys, they’re always coming up with these inventions like Sybians and crazy machines to have sex with or get tied up with.

Now we’re shooting on the Red [digital HD] cameras — I think Digital Playground is the only one — and we have all the Blu-ray coming out. I’m learning with my little camera and my website, where I’m able to upload daily diary videos, which is fun. Technology is getting a lot easier to make things more personal with your fans. They like the daily clips.

Now we can watch porn with our iPhones, and in the next month or two, with Digital Playground we’re going to be able to stream, Twitter and live iChat on our website from our iPhones.”

Jane also hearted her iPhone, which she calls a lifesaver during downtime.

“I love my iPhone because I can sit there and check my e-mail and update my website from my phone while I’m sitting there waiting at the airport.”

iPhone Fart App = $10,000 a Day for creators

2009-02-05T09:51:00.001-08:00

A fart app is the most downloaded iPhone application this week. Is this a means to celebrate or feel depressed? You decide.

iPhone App written by Nine-Year-Old

2009-02-05T09:47:00.001-08:00

Lim Ding Wen, a nine-year-old, has written an iPhone App called Doodle Kids, an application which allows children to paint on the iPhone.

"I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw," Lim told Reuters.
Lim started using a computer at age 2. He is fluent in six programming languages, and he's completed 20 programming projects. Lim is wise to get an early start on the App Store, where some developers are striking it rich with their iPhone apps. For example, independent developer Steve Demeter, said he made $250,000 in just two months with his iPhone game Trism.

Lim's father Lim Thye Chean is a chief technology officer who also writes iPhone applications.

With Doodle Kids complete, Lim is already working on his next iPhone app: a science fiction game called Invader Wars.

Touchgrind - iPhone Skateboard Game

2009-02-05T07:07:00.001-08:00

In a world first, Illusion Labs has created a multitouch skate game for the iPhone: Touchgrind. The game is unique in that finger gestures are used for control, similar to the motion of the legs and feet on a real skateboard.

TouchGrind is a skateboarding game for the iPhone, and it's probably the most addictive game I have played since Desktop Tower Defense. Don't expect some crazy, Tony Hawk style jump-fest -- Touchgrind has a physics engine so real it can be just as frustrating as riding a real board. It's also controlled in much the same way as a real skateboard, with two fingers replacing the usual two feet.

In fact, anyone used to fingerboards -- those miniature finger controlled skateboards -- will feel immediately at home. I used to have one years ago and the learned muscle memory works great with the iPhone version.
Success in the competition mode, which involves scoring points against the clock, unlocks more courses and better boards, although noobs will be happy (and stuck) on the lower levels for some time. As a quick, pick up and blast game, it can't be beat. I prefer it to Monkeyball, my previous favorite time waster. And best of all, it's only $5.

Crackulous: App Store Piracy

2009-02-04T13:03:00.001-08:00

Crackulous, a program for pirating apps from the iPhone App Store has just been released.

Jailbreak required for it to work.

Finding Supercool iPhone Apps

2009-02-03T08:10:00.000-08:00

Browsing apps in the App Store isn't quite criminal, but it's definitely not optimal for finding fantastic apps. Besides Giz's own iPhone app coverage and roundups, there are four other ways to find buried goodness.
TheAppleBlog lays out four different sites that make it way easier to find the quality app gems that are wallowing, helplessly, in the toxic cesspool of utter crap that makes up most of the App Store.

First up (and most highly recommend of the bunch) is AppBeacon, which requires an account, and you track what apps you own, like and dislike, filtering out the crap you're not interested in (or that's just crap) and bookmarking what you might wanna check out. Unfortunately, there's no recommendation system built-in yet based on what you do like, but that's the next logical step.

AppShopper is from MacRumors' Arn Kim, and it shows you the newest and mostly recently updated apps, which you can filter by pricepoint and even price changes, so you can see when an app you want gets cheaper.

Apptism is similar to AppBeacon, but has deeper, more customizable filters to get really specific about what you're looking for. The killer feature is its Preview listings, which encourages devs to post screenshots and other info about upcoming apps they're working on.

iPhonexe is apparently pretty crappy and ugly, but the value is that it lists apps for jailbroken phones too.

AppSniper tracks app prices and when they get cheaper, from your iPhone, no less.

Coffee? WTF. I hate coffee and caffeine.

2009-02-02T11:26:00.001-08:00

Coffee sucks!

Every time I drink a cup it comes straight out my ass in about 25 minutes. I'm practically shitting coffee. That's just the first thing. Why do I feel incredibly anxious and like absolute shite for the next 3 or four hours after I've drank the damn thing? Is this supposed to be the 'awake' feeling that makes coffee so great?

I'll drink a tiny ass cup of coffee every now and then, with many milks and sugars, to remind myself of how much coffee sucks. Drink it black? Are you nuts?

Did we all forget that in school we learned that we all drank tea at one time, and liked it? But the Boston Tea Party changed that, and because of our high taxes (without representation) for tea, decided to switch. I can't believed we sacked a boat over tea. We had some big ass balls back then.

Coffee tastes like ass. Seriously. Don't tell me you liked the way it tasted the first time you tried it. You had to add like 6 sugars and mad cream didn't you. Coffee stretches the term 'acquired-taste' to an incredibly new low.

It looks like diarrhea. Sometimes it even has that green tinge like diarrhea too.

Starbucks sucks. Ever want to feel like an idiot? Go to Starbucks and ask for a small. Don't forget to wait over by that circle table thingy and definitely don't try to find a place to sit. All the seats are taken by that guy with the laptop.

A "frappuccino." Don't try to spell it.

Terminator Salvation Images!

2009-02-02T09:16:00.001-08:00

HOLY SHIT!!!

Check out the new autobots :)

"The first film shows Schwarzenegger's T-800 coming from 2029 back in time," McG [the director] said. "Salvation takes place in 2018, so you see the R&D that went into the T-800. It's like the polio vaccine: You've got to go through a lot of lab rats to get to vaccine. In this film, humans are the lab rats. Skynet is testing on us to figure out how to make a photorealistic, leaner, smaller, more capable machine -- the T-800."

I can't wait to see this film, only Watchmen tops this.

Porn Clip Penetrates Super Bowl Broadcast

Super Bowl fans in Tucson, Ariz. were subjected to 30 seconds of hard core porn -- wang and all -- when somehow, the game feed was suddenly interrupted by a clip from an adult television channel.

‘Duck Hunt’ iPhone game pulled at Nintendo's request

2009-02-02T07:42:00.000-08:00

Lawl Mart’s Duck Hunt, an iPhone and iPod touch game that has been available at the App Store, can’t be found any more. The developer says that the game came down at the request of Nintendo, which alleges copyright infringement.

That SUCKS!

Released in January, Duck Hunt made it through Apple’s App Store vetting process and was available for purchase for 99 cents. The game mirrors a title that Nintendo originally released for the original Nintendo Entertainment System, its 1980s-era video game console, and one of the first to support Nintendo’s Zapper, a light gun peripheral.

Hackers Crack Road Sign & Warn of Zombies

2009-01-29T08:37:00.001-08:00

Transportation officials in Texas are scrambling to prevent hackers from changing messages on digital road signs after one sign in Austin was altered to read, "Zombies Ahead."

Chris Lippincott, director of media relations for the Texas Department of Transportation, confirmed that a portable traffic sign at Lamar Boulevard and West 15th Street, near the University of Texas at Austin, was hacked into during the early hours of Jan. 19.

"It was clever, kind of cute, but not what it was intended for," said Lippincott, who saw the sign during his morning commute. "Those signs are deployed for a reason — to improve traffic conditions, let folks know there's a road closure."

iPhone apps: Sports Gambling

2009-01-29T06:14:00.001-08:00

Several new additions to the App Store promise to see sports fans through this barren stretch with an oasis of information about their favorite sports and teams.

Prolific app maker GP Apps has spent the past few days ramping up its team-specific iFan offerings for folks with a college basketball jones. The iFan app offers the latest news, scores, and schedule information tailored to your favorite team.

Finally, fans of other sports can turn to a pair of programs from iApp Ventures. Horse Racing Live delivers horse-racing headlines directly to any iPhone or second-generation iPod touch while Nascar Live offers to do the same for stock-car racing. Horse Racing Live costs $10 while Nascar Live costs $5.

80s Galaxy Retro Game for iPhone

2009-01-27T09:29:00.000-08:00

A space shooter constructed entirely of vectors, Act1's 80s Galaxy, is based on one of the most popular arcade games in 1983 was Star Wars: The Arcade Game by Atari. By this point, most arcade games were sprite-based. But Atari decided the vector art that fueled classics like Asteroids and Battlezone was appropriate for recreating the cockpit view of an X-Wing fighter going foil to foil with the Empire's TIE fighters above the surface of the Death Star.

http://toucharcade.com

It isn't just the retro look that 80s Galaxy borrows from the arcade classics. 80s Galaxy is also built on a very simple gameplay concept: blow up everything. As you pilot your starfighter through the cosmos, you must shoot down enemy craft as they swirl around you. To fire, you simply tap the enemy. Some foes require more than one shot to destroy. Your enemies fire back, too. Yellow shots streak toward you. When they turn red, they are about to slam into your ship. You must swipe them aside with your fingers. So, the game becomes a balancing attack to tapping ships to shoot them and swiping away bullets just before they hit you, which in turn takes attention away from shooting enemies before they fire out you.

Casino Slots doubles traffic thanks to iPhone

2009-01-27T09:25:00.000-08:00

It's not just mobile games firms getting hot under the collar about smartphones nowadays. Mobile gambling companies are equally keen on taking their products to new mobile handsets.

"Since Spin3 launched its casino games for the iPhone last year, we have doubled the expected amount of players visiting our mobile casino," says David Brickman, VP of player affairs at All Slots Casino, one of the companies using Spin3's GameWire platform.

It's interesting that Spin3's titles are web apps for iPhone and Android, showing that it's still unclear whether play-for-cash mobile gambling will take off as downloadable applications on either platform.

iFu Kung Fu for iPhone

2009-01-26T07:05:00.000-08:00

Yesterday on Bytemarks Cafe, Russel Cheng of local tech company Oceanit unveiled a new application they’ve developed for Apple’s iPhone (and iPod Touch): iFu Kung Fu.

The app is simple and fun, tapping the iPhone’s accellerometer to trigger kung fu sound effects with each movement. After launching iFu — which introduces itself with a cryptic phrase in Mandarin (that’s really a motto of Oceanit CEO Patrick Sullivan) — users can imagine themselves in a kung fu battle, wielding their iPhone as it converts jabs and swings into whooshes and battle cries.

Russel noted that the iFu Kung Fu app was inspired in part by PhoneSaber, an app that played lightsaber sound effects from “Star Wars.” That app was a resounding success, but was withdrawn after the developer was notified of trademark and infringement issues. Fortunately, it later came back as an official “Star Wars” app.

Slacker Brings Free Music to Your iPhone

2009-01-20T10:59:00.001-08:00

The race to make the best mobile internet-radio app is on. Smartphones like the iPhone provide an excellent platform for their services, which let users sculpt their listening experience in ways that are impossible with terrestrial or even satellite radio.

Slacker's iPhone app, announced Wednesday, lets you create radio stations by entering the names of artists you'd like to hear in that station. It's super simple yet surprisingly powerful, with a couple of advanced features not available elsewhere.

This free application (iTunes link) essentially replaces Slacker's own $200 device, giving you access to all of your Slacker channels whenever you have an internet connection, and the iPhone has better controls. I say "essentially" because Slacker's portable is capable of caching interactive channels for playback, while the iPhone version only plays when it has an internet connection (via Edge, 3G or Wi-Fi). This rules out subway use, but as long as you don't enter into areas with poor coverage, the iPhone version does just fine — better than fine, actually.

iPhone first responder at US Airways crash into Hudson River

2009-01-16T08:52:00.000-08:00

VentureBeat posted the story about Janis Krums, one of the first responders at the site of a US Airways plane crash into the Hudson River today. The plane crashed this afternoon shortly after takeoff from New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

Krums was arriving in a rescue boat and took the picture at right on his iPhone and uploaded it via TwitPic, presumably from one of the numerous Twitter clients available from the iPhone.

Krums tweeted:

http://twitpic.com/135xa - There’s a plane in the Hudson. I’m on the ferry going to pick up the people. Crazy.

Less than a month ago (20 Dec 08) that plane crash in Denver was first reported on Twitter. Double Crazy.

YouTube Full Of Creepy, Soundless Music Videos

But now YouTube seems to be just stripping out the audio. Examples: here, here, here. This user-created one is just sad now.

2009-01-14T10:01:00.000-08:00

Apple appears to have reversed its policy of rejecting apps that compete with the company’s own iPhone web browser, Mobile Safari. A slew of alternative browsers have suddenly popped up in the App Store offering iPhone fans some new ways to browse the web.

The new applications include (all links are iTunes links):

Edge Browser — a free, chromeless browser that eliminates the address bar to offer more screen real estate to the actual webpage.
WebMate — an almost tabbed browsing experience on the iPhone. WebMate can open new pages in the background, rather than automatically switching to them like Mobile Safari does. WebMate costs $.99.
Incognito — an anonymous browser that covers your tracks and erases your session when you close the app (AKA porn browser for the iPhone). Incognito sells for $1.99.
Shaking Web — uses an algorithm to compensate for bumpy commutes, claims to make webpages easier to read on the bus or subway. Shaking Web is $1.99.

LG watch phone - Video

2009-01-07T10:03:00.001-08:00

Check out LG's new Watch Phone:

James Bond and Dick Tracy fans are likely to queue up for this soon. The new watch-phone from LG is one of the coolest gadgets at CES 2009 show.

At a press event today, LG USA President Michael Ahn showed a working demo of the device. It's a surprisingly slim watch that has a touchscreen phone and 3G and Bluetooth capabilities. It also has a camera that can do photos and small videos.

Worn on the wrist, the phone looks like any ordinary watch displaying the time but when a call comes in, the screen changes. Just raise your hand a little closer to your mouth, press a button and you can talk into the watch through the speaker phone capability.

The watch-phone is expected to go into production mid-year though the company did not offer any details on pricing.

iChalky - iPhone Application

2009-01-07T09:13:00.000-08:00

iChalky is an iPhone application that make use of the device's accelerometers, openGL and microphone.

Chalky is a simplistic stick figure whose posture and behavior result from the mechanical constraints that define him. He consists of a set of 8 masses connected to one another through a series of damped springs with various coefficients. Gravity and instantaneous acceleration are estimated from your iPhone's X and Y accelerometers and transferred onto Chalky's virtual world.

Friction was further added to the edges of his frame along with some rudimentary stepping heuristics to give him a fighting chance to maintain his balance as you rotate your phone around or take him on the bus with you. You can also grab, stretch and throw him with your multi-touch screen if you feel he's not getting enough abuse.

Chalky also thinks he can dance and he'll start busting his moves if he detects music though your phone's microphone... so crank up the tunes!

Chalky is not artificially intelligent and none of his gestures are choreographed. He illustrates the fact that humble perceptual measurements and simple constraints set in a physically meaningful environment can lead to interesting and sometime unexpected behavior.

Hayden Panettiere Promotes Animal Planet’s Whale Wars

2009-01-05T09:15:00.001-08:00

While campaigning for the Save the Whales Again! campaign down in D.C. last weekend, Hayden Panettiere took some time away from the crowds to help promote Animal Planet’s new show Whale Wars. The series documents what exactly happens when the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society heads out to antagonize the Japanese Whaling fleet. As The Daily Green revealed in their preview of the show, “ships are rammed, stink bombs tossed, anti-whaling declarations are broadcast over loud speakers, and whales are chased to safety.”

The show premieres November 7th at 9pm on Animal Planet.

10 Most Awesome iPhone Apps of 2008

2009-01-05T06:53:00.001-08:00

The iPhone alone is an amazing device. But it's the phenomenal App Store that's made the iPhone truly revolutionary, by giving thousands of independent developers the ability extend and transform the device with their creativity.

Not even half a year old, the store has surpassed a milestone of 10,000 pieces of software available. Since the beginning, Wired.com has paid close attention to the gems that shine among the dross.

We've plucked out a list of 10 apps — from mapping software to musical instruments to games — that deserve applause for their quality, innovation and breakthrough achievements. Here they are — Jay Leno style — with our top pick at the very bottom.

10. Stanza
A book reader that grabs free titles from public domains, Stanza has soared in popularity — making the iPhone a worthy competitor to Amazon's Kindle. And if those free books aren't enough, Stanza recently expanded to incorporate a store to purchase commercial titles. The app did a good job pleasing Wired.com's Charlie Sorrel, who modified his Moleskine notebook so he could embed his iPod touch in it. (That way, he could read e-books at the cafe while exuding an aura of pretentious artiness, instead of pretentious geekiness.) Download Stanza (Free)

9. SayWhere
You get used to typing on the iPhone after some time, but punching in addresses to look up directions is by far the biggest drag. DialDirections was the first to introduce speech-recognition capabilities to the iPhone with SayWhere, which translates users' speech into queries for Google Maps, Yelp, Traffic or Yellow Pages. It's a nifty app, especially for keeping drivers' eyes on the road rather than the iPhone's virtual keyboard. Download SayWhere (Free)

8. Tweetie
Twitter, a new form of micro-blogging, became more legitimate when it broke the news of the deadly Mumbai attacks. And Tweetie is the best app we've found to follow your Twitter friends. The app neatly separates Twitter feeds into categories, and the interface resembles the bubbly iChat interface that most of us have come to love. It even lets you search Twitter and save those searches for later. A must-have for Twitterholics. Download Tweetie ($3)

7. NetShare
This app is so cool you can't have it anymore. Nullriver's NetShare, an application that turns your iPhone into a wireless modem, disappeared from the App Store shortly after its release. Later, we learned Apple banned the app because NetShare violated AT&T's terms of service agreement. So only a lucky few (including some Wired.com staff) got the benefits of unlimited iPhone tethering, which normally costs about $30 a month, for a one-time price of $10. Bummer!

6. Shazam
Everyone's familiar with this scenario: You hear a really catchy, unfamiliar song on the radio and you have no idea what it's called. You hum it to yourself repeatedly and attempt to memorize the lyrics, only to forget it after slamming a few shots at the bar. Shazam will never leave you struggling to recollect these thoughts again: Hold the iPhone up to a speaker playing the unknown tune and the app will identify it — album, artist and song title — just like that. Download Shazam (Free)

5. Ocarina
The hottest music app in the App Store, Ocarina thought beyond the iPhone's touchscreen and found a unique way to use the handset's microphone. Blowing into the mic simulates the experience of tooting into a flute; you play around with four virtual "holes" on the screen to change the note. Ocarina users around the world can even hear what you're playing in a globe mode. It takes a while to get a hang of it, but Ocarina gives away just how creative iPhone apps can get so long as developers have enough imagination. Download Ocarina ($1)

4. TapTapRevenge
You'd have to be living on a different planet (or a retirement home) if you haven't heard of Guitar Hero, the game that gets players to twitch their fingers compulsively along with the beat of their favorite songs. Developer Tapulous took the same idea to make an extremely addictive rhythm game called Tap Tap Revenge. Tapping blinking lights on a screen to catch tunes isn't exactly the same as rocking out on plastic guitars and drum pads, but it's still highly addictive. And Tap Tap Revenge is so popular it's even offering the option to download new tracks to tap to, similar to Guitar Hero and Rock Band's music stores. Download TapTapRevenge (Free)

3. Trism
Trism is such an addictive and appealing game that it blessed its developer Steve Demeter with $250,000 in profit in just two months. And deservedly so, because the game's really well designed and plays something like a Bejeweled with an accelerometer to move around the puzzle pieces. It wouldn't be fair to call it one game, either: There are three different modes to keep you hooked. Download Trism ($3)

2. Pandora
Whoa whoa whoa — free downloaded music on a portable device? You don't say. Pandora's alternative music distribution made this happen, and the app is cool as hell on the iPhone. Add a station for an artist you like, and the app will play that artist's music as well as similar tunes you might like. What better way to find new music with the wealth of new bands out there? Download Pandora (Free)

1. Google Earth
When Steve Jobs called the iPhone "Your life in your pocket," he probably didn't expect Google to deliver the world in your pocket. Well, virtually. Displaying satellite imagery around the world in a 3-D globe, Google Earth is one of the most intense, mindblowing apps that truly shows off the powers of the iPhone. If you want to impress your grandmother with a demonstration of just how far technology has come since she was a girl, this ought to do the trick. Download Google Earth (Free)

Erotic Japanese iPhone Games - Video

2009-01-04T05:02:00.000-08:00

Do you know what day it is? Thursday! But not just any Thursday — it’s iPhone erotic game Tuesday. The shame!

The NSFW Strike Witches one is above, and the very (yes, very) NSFW Hidamari Sketch x 365 is after the jump. There’s rubbing, it’s somewhat censored, but still rather suggestive. You’ve been warned.

Coldplay sued by Joe Satriani for plagiarizing ‘Viva La Vida’

2009-01-04T04:58:00.000-08:00

Rock guitarist Joe Satriani has sued British band Coldplay, accusing the Grammy-nominated stars of plagiarizing one of his songs. Satriani’s copyright infringement suit, filed yesterday (Dec. 4) in Los Angeles federal court, claims the Coldplay song “Viva La Vida” incorporates “substantial original portions” of his 2004 instrumental “If I Could Fly.”

This argument comes down to is who you are a fan of - of course Coldplay fans arent going to accept that the songs are similar. And Satriani fans are going to be annoyed. Don’t have a go at me if this video upsets you. (Coldplay fans) Im not claiming Coldplay copied anyone, just putting the thought out there for people to talk about. YOU BE THE JUDGE - checks out the viddy.

Coldplay have recently been accused of copying ‘Songs I Didnt write’ by Creaky Boards on their new single Viva La Vida. The song is also similar, if not more so to Joe Satriani’s song ‘If I Could Fly’.

Full Remix of the two songs is at:

Watch Out Wal-Mart; AT&T Offers $99 iPhone

2008-12-29T07:56:00.001-08:00

It looks like AT&T is the only place to get a $99 Apple iPhone 3G. For now, anyway. In the post-holiday crunch, AT&T has launched the sale of refurbished iPhones to unload some inventory and offer cost-conscious shoppers a discount. In AT&T Wireless' online store, a refurbished 8 GB iPhone runs $99 with a two-year contract, while a refurbished 16 GB iPhone is $199. Both are $100 more when purchased new, but carry the same contract terms.

Television for the iPhone

2008-12-28T15:24:00.000-08:00

Network limitations somewhat stymie what the iPhone and iPod touch can do with video, but that hasn’t prevented developers from trying to harness the power of moving pictures on the devices. Mayakama.com’s Television is a video aggregator that lets you watch 61 news (and news-ish) programs on more than 30 channels, including CNN, NBC, the Associated Press, and Cnet, as well as several foreign news services. The app also includes videos from the Onion, College Humor TV, VH1, and MTV. The app’s successes and limitations show just how far developers have to go before getting video right.

Is Tom Cruise finished?

2008-12-28T07:57:00.001-08:00

On the big Christmas Day box office day, Tom Cruise’s Valkyrie debuted at a disappointing number #4. This was already a movie that was re-scheduled to this big money making day due to fears about its performance. Valkryrie follows Cruise’s last flop, Lions for Lambs, which did not even break even at the box office and was one of the worst performing films of 2007. Was it Cruise’s brashness with NBC’s Matt Lauer interview or his jab at Brooke Shield’s pregnancy pills? Too political? Bad religion PR? He even recently apologized for Oprah’s couch jump.

This once was man that was making headlines for his marathon of $100 million gross movies. What happened?

Penn. man shot for being too loud during movie

2008-12-28T06:39:00.001-08:00

Welcome to 2009, almost.

A man enraged by a noisy family sitting near him in a movie theater on Christmas night shot the father of the family in the arm, police said.

Police could not confirm what movie was playing in the theater, but The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that it was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

Well there you have it. Brad Pitt must be really good in this one. :) I can't wait to see the movie myself. But now i'm wondering if it's possible for a movie to be too good. So good that the attendees at the theater actually break out in violence if their is an error in the slightest during the projection of the film.

I think I might catch this on dvd.

Wal-Mart iPhone Sales: Where's the Discount?

2008-12-27T22:50:00.000-08:00

Wal-Mart is rolling out sales of the iPhone 3G this weekend -- but don't expect to see a lot of savings. As was speculated back in November, the discount retailer will begin carrying the iPhone on its shelves Sunday. Missing from the equation, though, is the discount.

It's no surprise, then, that the rush of reports claiming Wal-Mart would sell the iPhone for $99

created a bit of a stir and didn't seem entirely unbelievable. Turns out, of course, that instinct was wrong.

Selling Strategies

So what happened? It may just be that Apple doesn't believe its iPhone needs that strong of a push. The iPhone already commands almost a third of the U.S. smartphone market and is steadily growing, while Nokia -- the only company ahead of Apple in sales -- has been consistently losing share over the past months. In fact, analysts say Apple is "the only reason" the smartphone market stayed strong throughout the year's economic downfall.

A $99 iPhone would have boosted sales, no doubt, maybe even expanding the phone's demographical reach. But a $197 iPhone placed in front of millions of new faces will probably do the job decently, too. And, given the iPhone's ongoing success and ever-increasing appeal among young users, I suspect Apple isn't too worried about the outcome.

The $99 iPhone 3G finally

2008-12-27T16:57:00.000-08:00

Speculation that Wal-Mart would sell a $99 iPhone was put to rest on Friday when the official announcement came out sans the double digits.

However, all hope is not lost.

AT&T is selling a refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G in black for $99 with a two-year service contract through Wednesday, New Year's Eve. That beats AT&T's previous price tag of $149.

OK, OK, it's not new. But refurbished is close enough.

The refurbished 16GB model in black or white is also being sold for a $50 discount with a $199 price tag. But that doesn't have the magical ring to it of $99.

Protective case pictures fuel iPhone Nano rumours

2008-12-24T08:53:00.000-08:00

Rumours have now resurfaced thanks to the appearance of a protective case that perhaps indicates the upcoming arrival of a shrunken third-generation of Apple’s hugely popular touch-screen smartphone.

Print photos directly from the iPhone from HP

2008-12-22T11:21:00.000-08:00

Hewlett-Packard on Monday launched an application that allows users to print pictures wirelessly from an iPhone.

The application, iPrint Photo, allows pictures stored on an iPhone to be printed using HP's inkjet printers attached to a Wi-Fi network.

Users can launch the application on an iPhone, select a photo by touching it, after which a print command is sent to the inkjet printer over a Wi-Fi network. The software also runs on the iPod Touch device.

Currently, the software enables only 4-by-6-inch (10-by-15-centimeter) photo prints and resizes images accordingly. The application is available for download from the App Store for free.

The software is a better way to enable users to print thousands of images stored on their iPhones, HP said. The application works with Apple's Bonjour networking technology to help identify HP wireless printers on the network.

However, there are some caveats. Only JPEG images are printed by the application, and it does not support any other image or documents formats for now, HP said. The printing may also be cancelled if a user receives a call or a text message on the iPhone.

The application has been well-received by iPhone users, but it has limited capabilities, users said in an online forum discussing the software.

"Now they need to come out with one to allow you to print pdf files and other documents from your iPhone," wrote poster det2004, in MacRumors' message boards.

There are also some concerns surrounding the application, which supports only HP printers. "I have a Canon printer with WiFi. I'm hoping someone releases this to work with those printers," poster Daremom wrote on the same page.

HP iPrint Photo is only compatible with wireless HP inkjet printers or other HP network inkjets connected to a Wi-Fi network, an HP spokeswoman said. "Currently we cannot comment on future plans to expand the compatibility," she said.

Additional features and functionality will be decided with future versions of the software, the spokeswoman said.

The technology will be on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and Macworld, both of which will be held next month.

SimCity on the iPhone

2008-12-22T07:57:00.000-08:00

To the stable of games for the iPhone, you can now add the legendary SimCity.

Electronic Arts' city-building game, priced at $9.99, is now available for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch devices. Users can take advantage of the touch-screen technology to design and construct their vision of an urban landscape.

SimCity on the iPhone.

MG Siegler at VentureBeat, who's had a chance to play with the game for a while, waxed enthusiastic about the touch-screen qualities and more--"SimCity is a very impressive game on the iPhone"--but warned of some lingering bugs from the game's demo period.

While some of those issues have been fixed--the game runs fairly snappy now, when loaded--I'm experiencing the game crashing and a slowdown in actions like zooming. From the early reviews I'm seeing on SimCity's App Store page, I'm not alone in experiencing this.

And unfortunately, loading even the more bare-bones previously saved city takes a long time (I'm talking minutes). Maybe for some, that will just add to the nostalgic experience--I remember this was an issue on my old PC back in the day as well. For others, it'll be annoying.
