JoeVaughn — Sun, 09 May 2010 02:54:46 +0000

The iPhone now gets a little friend. Well actually a big friend but they are well paired thanks to the AmpliTube iRig. Its a software and hardware connection that enables electric guitars or bass’ into the iPhone, or iTouch. This little app lets you tweak your axes on the go. Such as a tour bus, when your not snorting illegal narcotics off the back sides of “groupies”. It comes with a plethora of effects, and amps – up to 10 stomps, 5 amps, 5 cabinets and 2 microphones. There also is an additional headphone jack so you don’t wake up your “old roommates”. Its pre-order right now for $39.99 check ikmultimedia.com for release dates.

Hottest Girls Just got Hottest(er)…

JoeVaughn — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:09:35 +0000

Update: Not available on the App Store as of now. Apparently its too adult for the iPhone. Not for me!

So now there is “porn” on the iPhone thanks to Allen Leung. Well its not exactly porn, more like topless pictures of females. The developer of Hottest Girls uploaded the pictures because Apple now lets you decide if you want adult content from the app store. Perhaps Job’s little hospital stint left him feeling a bit lonely after staring at his nurses all day. I say it’s a small step in the right direction. The iPhone 3.0 lets you filter out “adult” content, with its parental option. This is just a small step of what people can and can not view on the iPhone. I’m still waiting for open source, but I’m not holding my breath and I’ll even settle for Flash.

Being an iPhone user I’m extremely happy this has taken place. It’s my belief that no one should be censored and this important step in the Apple community. This does come with a +17 rating, but some people need to be warned. Which is fair. Ok, Ok. Now for the pictures. These are censored, I don’t need any mom’s of the little MLG’s yelling at me because I don’t know how to code a you must be +17 to view this post. Before the e-mails come in I know you could look at adult sites, or upload pictures to your iPhone, or save them on the phone. This is just about the first application to say “Hey I have daddy issue’s and Apple says its cool”. Ok, now let them roll in.

These are screen shots from my iPhone.

iPhone 3G S (S is for sold out)

JoeVaughn — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 03:44:48 +0000

Well I am happy and sad to report that the pre-order for the Apple iPhone 3G S is sold out. So if you were looking to avoid the lines, your a tad bit late. Even if you can find a place to do a pre-order there is a minimum of a 2 week wait. If you were looking to skip the camp out and digital file transfers then you’ll have to wait like everyone else who didn’t pre-order on time.

The AT&T customers who have placed there pre-orders in, still have to show up at the stores at 7a, to grab their phone. There pre-orders are kind of like line savers. So their covered but where does that leave you. We’ll if you like me, just playing with your iPhone 3G for an extra couple of weeks. I suspect that if you haven’t pre-ordered yet, theres probaly a reason, and you should know that the iPhone craze has happened twice already. So this shouldn’t be a shock about wait times. At least to those reading this. .. Viva la Apple.

Apple Gets Sued, For a Day…

JoeVaughn — Sat, 23 May 2009 19:51:00 +0000

Over priced and doesn't even do anything.

Wow what a long day for Apple. Yesterday they were served with a lawsuit from Cartier. You know Cartier their watch’s don’t come with calculators and you can’t afford them. Well they sued Apple yesterday because someone had created an app which is a replicate Cartier watch with logo so you could have a fancy one on your iPhone (because you bought your iPhone, so now you can’t afford a $5,000 watch).

Cartier sued over copy right infringement however they dropped the suit today because Apple agreed to remove the applications. The center of the suit was gear towards the two apps named Fake Watch and Fake Watch Gold Edition. The makes of the app were not mentioned in the papers. So I guess they got off the hook pretty easy. Now who’s going to have an iPhone with some extra bling? For the record this one of the stupidest lawsuits ever. Who cares about a fake watch on a phone. Why not go after all those guys in New York that have them lined inside of their trench coats? Wait they don’t exist, just the guys in trench coats that flash you a piece of meat for free. Oh New York City your so funny…

Now thats some Bling, baby!

Apple Tablet…

JoeVaughn — Thu, 21 May 2009 23:59:56 +0000

Word on the street is that Apple is in development of a tablet computer. A hybrid of the Macbook and an iPhone which is scheduled to drop in 2010. This by the way is a rumor. Like Apple would come out with a phone in the early 2000′s. So I’m game to believe. The idea is that it’d be better for surfing the Web, watching movies, and reading books than the iPod or iPhone, but not powerful enough that it would crush notebook sales.

Apple is also rumored to be partnering with Verizon Wireless for some other mobile devices that are planned for release in 2010 as well. The bigger iPhone type device most likely is to compete with the Amazon’s Kindle.

As Apple first then PC user, I think Apple is slacking here. They could have had my money for the tablet, but Apples lose is MSI’s gain. However I can ‘t wait for these products. VIVA LA APPLE!!

Viva La APPLE!!!!

Funny App Store Ad…

JoeVaughn — Thu, 14 May 2009 20:03:30 +0000

So Apple has to have some of the dumbest applications ever for a phone. Besides Caller Tunes. Thats not an app I just hate listening to upgrade me when i think, Hey I’m calling from the iPhone. So here is a nice collage of how you can put the Apps together and make more sense of your life. Geeks need not apply. Enjoy.

Hand Held Nintendo Emulator…

JoeVaughn — Thu, 14 May 2009 02:31:29 +0000

You you think your a super geek. You got your iPhone, DS lite, your PSP, your Gamboy, your Sega GameGear. Am I going to through a curve ball at you. You probably don’t have the Retro Mini Handheld. Its an new take on the old school. The Retro Mini actually takes the old NES cartridges and plugs straight into the top. Then you play from the little screen in the middle.

Just blowing to the bottom, pull in and out 12.5 times and say a prayer.

The Retro runs off 4 AA batteries for 8 hours of game play. Also boasts a “hi-def” 2.5 inch screen. This also has A/V jacks to plug into your television for larger screen play. Gotta think its cheaper than buying the games on your Wii. You can pick up NES games for pennies on the dollar at your local thrift store, or used gaming shops. Why impress your friends with NES on you iPhone, break out the freakin NES. There jaws will drop at your Geekness. As a side note, bring a backpack, because the cartridges did not get any smaller, if your really cool. Get a duffel bag.

Apple Says Jesus is not OK…

JoeVaughn — Tue, 12 May 2009 06:33:38 +0000

Apple says “God” is no good for the iPhone. The developer, Benjamin Kahle got the axe from Apple recently and went on record speaking against the censorship Apple has recently employed. First Trent Reznor, now God? Apple must not like competition.

Why's Apple gotta Hate on God?

The application is called Me So Holy. You can take a picture or use on from your photo library and place your face over Jesus’. It involves different pictures for a lot of relgions Kahle says, its not just christianity. Will Apple lighten up a little bit, and let this app in its store. Only time will tell. They could use with about 100 less Bible applications just for the record too.

This is just a news story with a tad bit of commentary. Don’t send hate mail. Everyone believes what they want. Thats fine. I just don’t want to hear about it.

The iPhone May Have Swine Flu…

JoeVaughn — Sun, 03 May 2009 20:04:17 +0000

Dr. Jelly Finger is back!

Developers at IntuApps are developing a tracking program for the Swine Flu spread. They will be using the the some of the systems people already use for tracking the spread of the disease. Apple is still reviewing the program, or not based on a previous post. (read everything), but hopefully we’ll get access to this in another week or so. The program will have five tabs. The first tab will have current threat levels from the WHO, second tab will be the google map tracker and so on. Im not writing a review of it here. The creators say that people are concerned about the spread and they are doing there part by releasing a FREE yes, free app. “Oh Lord Im coming for ya, this is the big one”. So expect to see thie Swine Flu app, and the Swine flu coming to a neighborhood to you.

I know I’ll be using this app to track how many of my skeezy neighbors have it. I can use it against them in the future. Except now I wont want my lawnmower, or blender back. This is getting a little out of control. I mean come on, a tracker for the disease thats not a pandemic? How many people have AIDs??? Yet no trackers for that. They go spreading it unknowingly and people have no chance to stop that. SO yes the swine flu is app is a good thing. However I feel that they should be putting time to develop applications that are more useful. Also if I see one more fart application I’m going to take a fire arm to a developers poop shoot and we’ll see how funny farting noises are. I swear some of these developers must be like 6.

The OG Swine Flu.

Apple has resorted to…

JoeVaughn — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 22:28:35 +0000

Shaken babies? For what? More money?

Who let this baby drink?

In a not so shocking find Wednesday Apple pulled the Baby Shaker application. The company offered an apology for the deeply offensive and said “mistake” to having it available for download. I e-mailed Steve Jobs and asked him how he missed this application, for which I have not received any comments back from.

Perhaps the strong language or threat of calling CPS on his “baby” (Apple) kept him from replying. This of course is is coming from the same company that has South Park episodes available for download.

Perhaps Apple has bitten off more than it can chew. They stated last year they would review every application that was submitted for content. This however does not seem to be the case. Perhaps they should outsource to a third world country. Like they do with everything else. Also like everyone else.

I think the Baby Shaker as disturbing as it was, is a necessary evil. It sets up a nice example of how freedom of speech, and the right to create something so ugly and sell it makes this an awesome county. Was the application inappropriate, and wrong yeah. This is America people. If you don’t agree think of it like this. Stop staying your shoot the Zombie games because they remind me of your great grandmothers. Your shooting your Great-grandmother and to me thats offensive. Just as shaken Babies offend you.

-Coming straight to you from the dark side.
