White iPhone 4 Delay, The Real Reasons – Evil Orcs, White Supremacists & More [Comic]

Still holding out for a white iPhone 4 in 2010? Haha … good luck! Try 2011, if that.

And what’s the deal behind the delay? Reports speculate a variety of reasons … shortage of glass, bent frames resulting in misaligned phones, white paint not thickening … MEH -  bull*cough*shit!

Well, we finally discovered the REAL reasons for the white iPhone hold-up via The Joy of Tech. It’s not just one factor, but a combination of the following … white supremacists, faulty teeth whitening strips (we always thought those things sucked), evils orcs, white trash (they’re always up to no good), white bread-like packaging and more.

So next time you read some white delay report on Gizmodo, Tech Crunch, Wired, et al … call out their crap because the truth has set you free …

   

FU Apple Results In Huge Sales, Then Quickly Banished – Camera+ Pulled From App Store

Now here’s an interesting sales technique … submit application update for approval – Apple rejects update – release the update anyways by hiding it from Apple. The result? $$ HUGE $$ SALES $$ AND $$ PROFIT $$ !

If you haven’t heard … TapTapTap, developers of the wildly popular camera application Camera+, submitted to Apple a cool feature that would let users take pictures by pressing the iPhone’s volume button. The feature was called VolumeSnap and it was immediately rejected by Apple. For complete details, check out TapTapTap’s blog. 

Ok, so whatever … VolumeSnap rejected, life goes on … NOT!

TapTapTap decided to take matters in their own hands. They sent out an encrypted message on Twitter (later deleting the tweet after 30 minutes) which translated into a cheat code. In Mobile Safari, type the URL – camplus://enablevolumesnap – and the rejected VolumeSnap feature is enabled (to switch it off, enter – camplus://disablevolumesnap).

Well obviously on the Internet nothing stays a secret, hidden or undetected. Every website and their mother published the news about the VolumeSnap enabling code … stating, “get Camera+ while you still can – it probably won’t last long.” Hmmm … clear call to action, strong sense of urgency … a perfect sales pitch. And that it was!

Prior to the VolumeSnap issue, Camera+ sales were on a decline. After previously reaching the #6 overall paid app, Camera+ slipped to #23. But at the time of this writing, Camera+ is currently at their all-time high of #3 overall.

Camera+ is also at their current all-time high for top grossing apps, #2 overall … up from their #30 pre-VolumeSnap position.

 

Which is exactly the point of our article. Camera+ is an extremely successful application, with reported net sales well over a half a million dollars. So why the f**k would TapTapTap risk having their extremely profitable application pulled and thus halting an important source of revenue? Sure they received a HUGE boost in sales, but at what price? Perhaps TapTapTap decided they would no longer support Camera+ and this was their final “sales promotion”? Hopefully there’s a method to TapTapTap’s madness because guess what …

UPDATE – As we were writing this article and verifying the latest rankings for Camera+ … Apple pulled the app. But it’s not like we (or the developer) knew this wasn’t coming. So the question still remains … WTF was TapTapTap thinking?!?

Circuit Board iPhone iOS 4 Wallpapers – Twice The Geeky Coolness [Download]

In this edition of unique iOS 4 wallpapers for your iPhone 4 home screen, we decided to veer away from our usual offerings and present something geekier than retro video games wallpaper. This time we explore our innermost electrical geek and turn our iPhone 4 into a primitive yet awesomely cool circuit board.

These home screen gems were created by Some Geek In Tennessee (seriously, that’s the name of the dude’s website … kinda of an oxymoron since we thought only hicks live in Tennessee – our bad) … and come in two delicious flavors – Vanilla and Kitchen Sink.

The vanilla version contains just the cpu and has an appealing minimal look to it … while kitchen sink not only has the cpu, but also caps, resistors, vias and a whole bunch of other stuff that would make even the nerdiest electrical engineer break out in song and dance. Enjoy!

iPopcorn Popper App – Will It Pop? [Video]

Back in 2008, the notion of popping popcorn with cell phones started to circulate. Videos could be found all over the Internet of popcorn kernels surrounded by these ancient looking cell phones (what’s a RAZR and why did it cost $200?) … the owners would call their phones at the same time … and a few seconds later, the kernels would begin to pop.

MEH! Not impressed … how many cell phones does it take to pop popcorn? Well back in 2008, it took at least three cell phones to make popcorn … and that’s because the revolutionary iPhone with its 250,000+ magical applications was not available. These days, it takes one iPhone, coupled with a special app, to make our favorite healthy snack (bonus points if you can find The Annoying Orange in the video – for some reason, geeks really dig this game)

 

However as cool as the iPhone popcorn popper app may be … we’re still waiting for the nacho cheese melter application to satisfy our South Of The Border craving.

Pocket God Comics Now Available – First Comic Book From An Original iPhone App

Besides the Miley Cyrus Legal Age Countdown app, one of our favorite iPhone applications is Pocket God [iTunes $0.99]. If you’re not familiar with this bestselling app … uh well … your kinda totally blowing it. Pocket God is a hilarious interactive application (filled with a ton of mini-games) where you play god and rule an island populated with primitive pygmies … being as kool or krappy as you want to your peeps. Developers Bolt Creative work their asses off keeping Pocket God fresh and fly … releasing updates every few weeks … 32 of them since Pocket God first launched 18 months ago in January 2009.

Pocket God has established a cult following and is really one of the best and original apps available in the App Store. Spend a buck – check it out … Pocket God is a must have!

But perhaps due to their attention-deficit disorder (ADD), the Pocket God developers are not satisfied working 20 hours a day to keep up with their Usain Bolt-like pace of application updates (damn, just dawned on us … Bolt Creative / Usain Bolt … coincidence? – we think not!) … nope, they had to go out and take on another HUGE project – Comic Books. Just released a few hours ago … Pocket God Comics [iTunes $0.99].

Pocket God Comics is the first original iPhone application to get its own comic book. This digital comic is the first issue in a 4-part series (perhaps even more) available for both the iPhone and iPad … additional issues will be available via in-app purchase.

Besides the historic first edition Pocket God comic, the app contains a comic shop locator … just press the button and you’ll be able to find your local comic book shops. Why would you want to do this? Because Pocket God Comics is also available as a real live comic book … the kind made out of paper and ink and you get to turn the pages (remember those?). The print version will be released shortly and run a mere $3.95. If for some reason you live in the middle of boo-foo Egypt, you can pre-order Pocket God #1 and #2 (due out Oct. 27) over at Previews World.   

 

Bolt Creative is also running a contest … one lucky bastard will win a $1,000 Apple Gift Certificate while everyone who enters the contest receives a Jet Pack unlock code. Check out the Pocket God Blog for more information.

 

Being the huge Pocket God fans we are … digital issue #1 has already been downloaded to our revolutionary iPhone 4 and magical iPad. The artwork is AMAZING, the storyline is SUPERB … 22 pages of pure Pocket God awesomeness. There really is no reason not to spend 99 cents for this historic digital issue #1 … as well as jump on the inaugural print issue. Hell, have you seen the insane price of Superman / Action Comics #1? Yeah, we’re thinking collector’s edition … Pocket God #1 + eBay = RETIREMENT!  

The Evolution Of Steve Jobs And Apple

When it comes to a fashionable wardrobe … there is no evolution of Steve Jobs. Black St. Croix mock turtleneck ($170) – Levi’s Premium Collection 501 jeans ($138)  – New Balance 991 shoes ($75) … Steve remains sexy and consistent for well over ten years. Well, except for 2001 …  what’s up with that?!?

Now Steve’s company, Apple, is eerily a similar story. From the cool “Think Different” independent rebel start-up … to its current paranoid Big Brother corporate role … Apple seems to be evolving, BACKWARDS. Hmmm … perhaps like Steve’s wardrobe, there really is no evolution of Apple either.
