Black Eyed Peas Get Official AR App Last month I blogged and shot a video showing off a Black Eyed Peas augmented reality app I made using Metaio’s Junaio platform. At the time, I was surprised that Metaio didn’t share or retweet with their community this app I made as they usually do with work that others do with their platform and… Read More

Return of FAIL with iTunes9 long sync times I do not like iTunes. Never did. When I first got the iphone, I would avoid sync as much as possible because of the long sync times. After while, and with iTunes8, things got better. It would not lock up, and I would have a full sync in around 2-3 min. I can live with… Read More
What could multi threading ‘run in background’ support in iphone 3.0 look like? I was writing a post on the best way to use Pandora on the iphone (link to article) and it struck me that THIS is how we may see ‘run in background’ support working on the iphone and why we want it. First a few words on the Pro’s and Con’s of running an app… Read More
Slingplayer coming to the iphone… for 30 bucks And it might be worth it.. Not for me, but for some people. But what is interesting here is that price point of $30. Personally, for $30, I can see people paying for this even though the normal ‘top’ price is $10, except for one issue. Its wifi only! No 3G. So now recast the… Read More
NIN app accepted by the Apple store, Me so holy rejected. We STILL need a rating system The NIN app was accepted, then last night I read that a Jesus face app, Me so Holy (replace Jesus with your face) was rejected. Ok, fine, but again, this will offensive to some people, fun to others. This Boolean approach of Gatekeepers who decided what will and will not by accepted is somewhat dictatorial. … Read More
Do we need a video/movie like rating system for iphone (all mobile) apps? There have been enough rejected apps in the iphone store to support a top 10 list. Now, after the shaken baby app getting through, then pulled but the NIN app getting rejected full stop, tells me the review process is spotty at best, faulty at worst. And then you have people like ‘Victor Wang’ who… Read More
Run Pandora in the background on the iPhone.. Jailbreak only of course. This is great. I use Pandora as my radio when I drive for my radio music exclusively. I have another app for BBC and NPR, but music… pandora. I do not even remember the last time I listen to the radio for music. Funny thing though, the radio stations in the Bay area stink for… Read More

Sweet Multi touch visualization hack for 4-20 This is pretty cool. I fully agree with Peter Kirn that Apple rejecting this as an app is sillyness. But then again, thats not new. Still, I admire the push to get this to work within the browser. I have not tried it myself since I only have PHP running on my linux box which is not… Read More
Rumor alert: HULU coming to the iphone Actually, I’m not sure I should even call this a rumor. I mean why not? I do not think youTube has a contract or anything that would incourage Apple to keep them out.. so I say Hurraa and speed it up! From the webware site: Silicon Alley Insider is reporting that a dedicated Hulu application is indeed… Read More
A jailbreak (limited) App store! Cydia in full, well limited, effect.. Yes, I know, I have not been active in a LONG time. Between twittfilter.com, my taxes (which are still not done) and this monster flu, I’ve been gutted.. However, lots to talk about, so hopefully I will get back into the flow of things. First off, I guess 4 or 5 days ago, Cydia released… Read More
iphone 3.0 beta has been jailbroken.. what took so long? Ok, a joke there. The fact it was jailbroken so quickly is quite impressive. I would have figured early summer, but the proof code is out there. Course, Apple has some language in the SDK agreement saying that you will NOT contribute to jailbreaking efforts. This will not stop the jailbreaking, but does give the… Read More
