OMFG “Adventure” comes to the iPhone! And it’s FREE!
Yes kids, there was a time when video games looked this bad, and they were played on a little thing called the Atari 2600. I remember when my brothers and I got our 2600 for Christmas, and Adventure was included in the box. Above: Behold the awesomeness that IS the golden castle! Above: I can’t believe I still remember the route of the maze after 25 years… and yes, that arrow is your sword. The description of the game painted a vision of a magical world full of... Read More
No Obama Hoops for you!
Whether or not you voted for Obama last week, odds are you’d like to play underwater basketball with his head. Unfortunately, Apple has decided to call a foul on Aquaaps’ proposed Aqua Obama app. Aqua Obama from playtoniq on Vimeo Yes, Apple’s approval team would not give them an assist, and instead put the full-court-press right at the buzzer on what was sure to be a slam dunk of an application, effectively stuffing the developers while they were in the paint…...

WooHoo is free today – still inexplicably on the iTunes store
And speaking of d’oh!… Well, I admit I was wrong. When I saw that someone was selling a Pillsbury Doughboy app on iTunes, I was sure it would have been pulled by the end of the week. Yet, here we are nearly 3 weeks later, and WhooHoo is still going strong. In fact, in honor of the creator’s birthday, Griffin Landa has decided to make WooHoo free for a limited time. Back when WooHoo cost $0.99, I was not willing to part with a hard-earned dollar just to see... Read More
D’oh!

Come beat me on Adrenaline Pool Online
Having played (and won) 3 games of Adrenaline Pool Lite for the iPhone, I got cocky and decided that anonymously beating other anonymous players was a waste of time. I wanted my victims to know they had been smited by the mighty Dr. Macenstein! Yes, somehow I lost this game too… So I plunked down the $4.99 for the full version, Adrenaline Pool Online where you can make an online profile and play against friends. Since signing up, I have not won ONE single match, and I... Read More

Review: iAscii Art
Turning photos into Ascii art may seem like useless parlor trick (and it is) but to many tech geeks who began their lives using DOT Matrix printers to print out “pictures” using Ascii characters, Ascii art still holds a special place in our hearts. I actually remember the first naked woman I ever “saw” was an Ascii rendering of a woman from a program called Peek-a-boo on an HP85 my friend’s dad brought home one day. (OVERSHARE! (anyone watch the... Read More
Apple files its stupidest patent ever
Well, no wonder Tony Fadell left Apple. His latest patent Dubbed “Digital Theater” may be the stupidest patent I have ever read, and I have read three patents. The idea is that using software, various Apple handheld devices could mimic the experience of being at a live movie or sporting event by being able to pick a seat in a virtual theater or stadium from which to view the event. The software would then skew the screen to match the perspective you would have if you... Read More
Attention Parents: FlashMath is free – go get it
Ever since I first got my iPhone, my kids have wanted to play games on it. Eventually I grew tired of the constant fighting over daddy’s iPhone (plus I wanted to play games too!) so I broke down and bought each of my kids an iPod touch for their birthday. Of course, as a parent once you see the vacant vegetative stares the kids get while playing the games, you begin to feel a bit guilty over rotting their brains. Luckily for me (and my kids’ brains), I found palaware’s... Read More
Cutting down on your eventual RIAA suit’s lawyer’s fees
Just because a judge has asked the RIAA to stop bankrupting the defendants in illegal downloading cases doesn’t mean your inevitable lawsuit is going to be cheap. Well, one proactive music thief name Diana has decided to save a couple bucks on lawyer’s fees by pre-labeling her iPhone as “Exhibit A” in her eventual RIAA lawsuit. Great idea, Diana! And be sure to videotape yourself each time you fire up Limewire. The RIAA will really appreciate the effort,... Read More
