Did your iPhone just say “Hadouken?”

Damn straight it did! This by far is going to be the greatest iPhone game release ever! Late last night, the game was released, though it took a while for Apple App Store servers to list it, but I can say, as of 5.30am EST this morning, the game is live and in full Chun-Li effect!
I'll admit, I do not like spending money on games I won't play that often, especially for the iPhone. I am forced to find other ways to test out the stuff before I buy it, but I will say, 100% that this game needs n...

Alright Case Mate, that’s an inappropriate hug!

Okay, really? Really? I'm going to ask all of you readers a quick question, first, have you ever wanted your iPhone to be about 2 to 3 times as thick as it already is? Do you think the entire World is going to be made out of Case Mate's charging pads? I didn't think so, but Case Mate thinks you do, and want to pay 100 bones for it.
With all the ways to charge your iPhone out there, Case Mate quite possibly stumbled upon the "greatest" way to do it, well, if you answered 'yes' to my two questi...

Poll: How long until iPad hacked to tether with iPhone?
by
Mike
Posted March 8th, 2010 at 8:52 am
Within the last few days, from the mouth of tech god himself (Steve Jobs), it's come to light that the iPad will not be able to tether to the iPhone. Is that really that much of a surprise? I mean, if millions of people with iPhones all buy iPad's and then tether, AT&T will lose out on considerable revenue. Then again, if they actually offered a tethering package for an extra fee, that argument would be moot. But I digress...
The jailbreaking community is extremely diverse, talented, and ...

iPad theme graces iPhone/Touch

Mike
Posted March 8th, 2010 at 6:49 am
Whether by personal choice or monetary restrictions, iPad UI lovers can now get a little bit of that revamped iPhone OS UI on several of Apple's current stable of gadgets with or without owning the new wonder tablet. When the iPad was previewed back in January, the UI itself wasn't really highlighted too much. But that doesn't mean it's any less desirable. The subtle color changes and numerous other nick knacks here and there are at the very least, a breath of fresh air into a platform that a...

It doesn't matter who you are, or what you do for a living, you use technology/gadgets (I would assume) in some way or another. And there are companies on top of companies that are rolling out different ways for you to manage and carry these devices, well, we were just handed another one. A team of two, both "online addicts and bloggers" have designed a pair of jeans that will not only keep you styling, *cough* but will also give that iPhone or iPod touch the special protection it deserves.

After the scare, we now have the iPad [UPDATE]
by
Jordan
Posted March 6th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Update #2: Okay, well, maybe Apple read my post, now the site is back up and running ;)
Update: It seems, after the release from Apple, the Apple website is down. After visiting right after the PR was released, I tried to go back this morning, as I like to drool and build my dream Mac Pro, but I can no longer access the site. Is the Pre-Order section getting updated? Are people flooding the site, does my router just hate Apple.com??? So many questions, lol
Apple, today has released a Pre...

Is it iPhone case fail day today? I think it might be. We can either have our iPhone look like a rock, or we can have what I'd only assume RoboCop would use.
Hong Kong retailer, 'JOYCE, has released a new line of designer-created iPhone cases, now, I am only posting about the rock case, but the rest of em aren't that pretty, but they make a hell of a lot more sense than a Rock Hide-a-key! Come on people, with all that China bans and keeps from the people, you think they wouldn't allow cra...

And the stupidity continues: Apple yanks WiFi scanner apps…
by
Mike
Posted March 4th, 2010 at 10:18 am
Apparently ruffling the feathers of countless devs and customers over the whole Boobie Ban of 2010 wasn't enough. Besides, if you sit there long enough, you could rationalize that porn really isn't that big of a market. But what about something more useful, say WiFi scanning apps? While bare bones basic WiFi scanning is built into the phone for when connecting to a WiFi network, there are numerous WiFi scanner apps that divulge a slew of helpful information regarding IP addresses, DNS's, etc....

And the drip widens to a trickle: Virgin America announces Flash abandonment, moving to HTML 5 site-wide.

What's that sound? Oh, just the sweet sweet music of HTML 5 claiming another victory over Flash of course. Soon you, I, and any other human on planet earth who feels compelled to visit Virgin America's website will be able to do so without pegging a core or four on our processor by simply navigating the website. For mobile users, this means the simple task of even navigating Virgin America's website will soon be possible. According to Virgin America CEO, Ravi Simhambhatla, the move to HTML 5...

Possibly still that time of the month for the iPad
by
Jordan
Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 11:15 am
So it seems that the rumors of a delay in iPad manufacturing are false. Apple had planned to have around 1,000,000 units ready by launch, but research analyst Peter Misek of Canaccord Adams claimed that a “manufacturing bottleneck” would limit the launch to around 300,000, if you are good at math, you’ll see that is a lot less than what was expected.
Foxconn Electronics says that all of their suppliers parts shipments are on schedule and that they should be able to ship between 600,...

Get your x-rated text on and cover your tracks with “TigerTexts”
by
Mike
Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 4:46 am
Do I condone what Tiger Woods did? No. Does that mean we can't have a quick laugh off of a mobile app that plays off of his bad decisions? Why certainly not. Enter the realm of "TigerTexts". First I'd like to highlight the name is brilliant, genius, funny, if even it is a bit brash. But that's beside the point. The real focal point of this app is that texting can be done in "safety". Safety of course meaning that anything and everything you say self destructs after a short time (60 secon...

Update: It seems HTC wasn't enough aware of the filings yet, they only learned of the suit from Engadget's post and Apple's press release, They haven't even been served yet. Here is what HTC sent in to Engadget:

Ubuntu and iPhone FTW!
by
Jordan
Posted March 2nd, 2010 at 8:12 am
So yesterday a member of the ubuntuforums posted about what he found out after he installed the latest Alpha release of Ubuntu 10.04. Not only did the release support his graphics card straight away, and hop into full screen mode (something that has always pissed me off in the past) but it also recognized his iPhone, right away without any configuration on his end! He can access all of the music, play lists, apps on the iPhone using Nautilus, and RhythmBox works with it as if it were iTunes.

“This is Steve Jobs from Apple calling.” GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE!

Earlier this week, Wednesday to be specific, the Almighty Apple reached their 10 billionth song downloaded from iTunes. Apple was holding a contest that whosoever downloaded the 10-billionth song from iTunes, would be graced with a $10,000 iTunes gift card.
Old Jobs thought that since this was such a HUGE milestone he'd give the winner a call. Here it is, a chilly February afternoon, you are sitting, probably watching The Price is Right(since that is what 70 year old people do), your phones...

iPad gains a new companion with “The iMaxi” (case)
by
Mike
Posted February 26th, 2010 at 5:49 am
You knew it was going to happen. Someone was going to play on the worst device name in history -- the iPad. And like clockwork, the iMaxi (Case) has been made known. Featuring a soft cottony interior to keep it nice and shiny with a more durable nylon exterior to fend of moisture and dirt, the iMaxi is actually a quite functional case for your iPad. The most clever part however is the integrated wings and wrap around the unit and keep it contained within it's hallowed sarcophagus.

On again off again on… Apple removes “Explicit” category from iPhone dev tools.
by
Mike
Posted February 25th, 2010 at 4:41 am
Well, that was a short lived "fix". The new explicit App Store category that was displayed yesterday has been effectively killed, for now. To many who were part of the 5,000 victims of the boobie ban of 2010, such a category seemed like a warm welcome. It seems that at this point however, Apple is fresh out of "warm loving feelings" for the "others" in the App world. To fall back on, there is that comment Gizmodo garnered from Apple in response to a distraught iPhone developer that stated: "...
