I Like Kill Nerds

Did you upgrade to iTunes 10 and discover that when you connect to your AirTunes what once was normal volume levels are now non-existent? I spent days trying to find out the problem.

You’ve all heard the story by now. Someone finds a development version of the iPhone 4G disguised as an iPhone 3G in a bar. They try and return it to Apple but Apple telephone staff knew nothing about it – so after failing to return it, the finder decides it is a good idea to sell it to Jason Chen of Gizmodo for $5000, completely legal right? Not exactly.

Apple are pretentious bipolar snobs as of late; being spiteful to Adobe, angering developers and making an announcement of a new iPhone OS that won’t be available to people with older iPhones or iPod Touches. So would someone please tell me why they’ve allowed the Opera Mini browser into the AppStore?

Apple have announced multitasking in the forthcoming iPhone OS 4, but they also announced something called, ‘iAd’ which is a new mobile advertising network set-up by Apple to allow developers to put ads into their apps that can pop-up using multitasking and then allow the user to close them and return to their game or whatever it is they were in.

Adobe is only days away from releasing CS5, one of the features of Flash CS5 is the ability to compile Flash to native iPhone applications. Not any more, Apple have gone and changed their SDK developer licence terms to ban applications compiled using a cross-compiler (Flash CS5 is a cross-compiler). Read on for more info.

On April 8th, Apple will be holding an event for a sneak peak of the next generation operating system for it’s mobile devices, Apple OS 4 and it will be bringing multitasking to the table, thanks to some highly interesting information that I recently stumbled-upon.

The interwebs is a-buzz with reports that the soon to be released iPhone will be called the iPhone HD, really, how fucking original. Are they really going to release a product that reminds me of Microsoft’s Zune HD? Excuse me a second while I vomit at the thought of that. Who knows, but who even cares anyway?

Call up every major dictionary publication and tell them to append the entry for the word ‘Failure’ we’ve got a new definition to add, iPad. The iPad is an attempt by Apple to fool people obsessed with its products that it is a new product, but really it is only an iPhone or iPod Touch with a bigger screen.
