Re: Better Than A Stack Of Pancakes – BOOB STACK (aka EA Sucks!)

Also we've noticed that if a "bad" word is combine with another word and positioned as one word in the title, then Apple is cool with it. For example, the KickAss app ... no way Apple approves it as Kick Ass. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it ;) WTH?!?

Funny thing, I saw this app pop into the AppStore and thought of KRAPPS.com immediately. :)

Interesting that Ninjaword has issues with words in it's dictionary and yet, the same words in app titles are a-ok. Typical AppStore reviewer hypocrisy!

Thanks for adding this *GREAT* app to your list of KRAPP-tastic apps!

No, I'm way too paranoid when it comes to my camera! The only shot that was left unattended was the high/wide shot at the beginning, which was from my deck.

That was some amazing camera work (meaning positioning). Did you have to leave the camera unattended in an open area to get some of those angles? I would have been worried about losing the camera.

Still great work!

I just added my voice to the choir! Actually, there are other apps that will get you porn pictures on the phone. They access Flickr and Flickr's rather abundant porn photos.

I hope this works. I'm really getting sick and tired of hearing about apps being rejected because of the content that they can bring up.

Thanks for spreading the word on Craig's idea!

Re: 1FPS, Amazon opened up its Kindle blog subscription...

Good to know, thanks Dave.

"But what the heck" was exactly my sentiment as well. There's no charge for signing up, so why not?

I just added my blog and it looks pretty darn good. It must be Tumblr or your theme that is the issue. I'm using my main blog (http://www.metzener.com/switcherblog/) and just published it, for what it's worth. I don't suspect I'll see a penny from it, but what the heck.

I will be releasing a lite version soon so we will see how that affects the stats. As for the analytics, I can see how many pirates are using only as it is a discrepancy from sales - have no idea of the conversion of the pirate to sales though as that would require knowing what specific iPhones were doing an I don't have that level of detail. I will post when the data comes in though for the lite version...

I wonder what your stats would have been if you had offered a "Free"/"Lite" version of the game?

Does your system let you know if the people who pirated the app are continuing to play the game or if they stopped? I'm wondering if they "pirated" the app to see it in action for free to decide if they wanted to shell out the money for the real version.

Remember, Macintosh is the computer for "the rest of us". So I guess that they figure that the people using their computers are not very bright. ;)

Thank you Dave...

I am not into iPhone so, I don't know much about all those apps!

How about Tumblr for the iPhone by Tumblr, Inc. Seems like a big one to miss.

Re: Shake Baby Until It Dies Update

VesperDEM — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 08:28:24 -0000

I just want to say that I am what you would call an "Apple Fanboy". Well, not as much as some, but still. When I heard about this app this morning, I just couldn't believe what I heard.

I don't know how many people Apple has "screening" the apps before they are released, and how much education they have. However, Baby Shaker is clearly an app that should never have seen the light of day. Of course, there are hundreds if not thousands of other apps that also should not be in the AppStore right now, but it appears that Apple doesn't seem to mind them being there.

As someone currently developing an app for the store myself, I see all too often applications out there that probably took the developer all of 5 minutes to write and are out there in the store attempting to sell for $1 and on rare occasions $1,000. When I see the $1000 apps, I report them to Apple right away. I don't care what their content is, the app had better be worth $1000 if they are selling it for $1000. Don't show me a single screenshot of a title screen and not have a website backing the software up. Otherwise I'm calling SCAM.

Anyway, I don't know if it was your site or someone close to your site that first brought this app to Apple's attention, but good for you for doing so, who ever did it! As fans of Apple and the iPhone/iPod touch, we need to make sure that Apple does the right thing with situations like these.

Re: Quantum of Solace's writing, editing, and cinematography are spectacular

I have to say that I too was very impressed with both Quantum and Casino Royal. They reminded me of Indiana Jones but darker and more intense.

The fight scenes are amazing and hard to keep up with. I really hope they keep this level of quality up with the future Bond films. I'll be paying way more attention to them if they do.

Re: TMUP 120:There will be Macs

VesperDEM — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 05:01:37 -0000

After re-reading my comment, I came off sounding a little pompous. I sure didn't mean to make it sound like your choice of iClip made you a bad person or anything like that.

I purchased iClip way back and had it running for quite sometime after I purchased it. I just found that I never used it due to the UI issues.

I just found iClip's UI to be way over the top for what it did and because of that, it was very hard to determine what was in each of the clipping. Savvy Clipboard is very straightforward in it's presentation. I now use it quite frequently, even when programming.

One bad think I have noticed about the clipboard in general when using TextExpander, since TextExpander uses the clipboard to do it's thing, I find that the multiple clipboard entries in Savvy Clipboard are duplicated due to use of TextExpander. It almost makes using multiple clipboard programs useless. That's really a shame. I wonder if it would be prudent to suggest a change to TextExpander so that it doesn't continue to have this side effect? Hmm...

Victor — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 15:57:03 -0000

Ok I'll give it a try. I'm always willing to learn. iClip is the one I use and I do love it, but I'll try this. That's they beauty of you guys chiming in. It's not about "me" it's about all of YOU :)

Re: TMUP 120:There will be Macs

VesperDEM — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:37:06 -0000

Victor, I can't believe that you think that iClip is the best "multiple" clipboard program for the Mac. I found that program to be way to complicated for me to use and I'm a programmer and very tech savvy user. Oh sure, I could use it, but I would never suggest a program like iClip to my parents who are by no means tech savvy.

I just found and purchased the program "Savvy Clipboard" by BlitzClick Software (http://blitzclicksoft.com/). It's very simple to use but still quite powerful. I found out about it via MacZOT.com.

Give it a peek if you haven't already seen it. I think you might just agree with me. ;)
