Apple Bans forChan Developer – Did Not Realize Web Browsers Can Access Porn

Remember Charles Rodriguez? He’s the dude we wrote about last week … the 26-year-old President of iHustleApps and the developer of the infamous forChan app. forChan is a web browser specifically designed for imageboards such as Futaba Channel, 4chan, 420chan, The Wired and others. With its start-up page set to an imageboard displaying dogs, it took Apple less than 12 hours to approve and publish forChan.

forChan1  forChan-Dog

And just as quick … Apple banned forChan after four days of existence. Why? = Porn. Just like any web browser, the end user is able to access pornography through forChan. It’s important to note that forChan is not a porn app … there is no code or Easter Egg within the app that enables porn. Rather forChan can be used to view porn (or other images like dogs  or whatever) … it’s up to the end user to enter the desired imageboard URL. Hmmm … does this sound familiar? Gizmodo thinks so … calling for the ban of Safari and Bing on the iPhone, since they are web browsers just like forChan.

forChan-Uncensored-FINAL

Well things go from bad to worse. Yesterday … nine days after forChan was banned … Apple revoked Charles’ developer license and removed all of his 224 remaining apps from the App Store. Charles has been completely banned from developing iPhone apps.

forChan-Banned We contacted Charles to inquire exactly what was Apple’s reasoning for completely booting him out of the iPhone Developer Program (iDP) … Charles said, “Via email, Apple indicated that I violated Section 6.1 of the iDP Agreement by hiding the nature of the forChan app from when it was originally submitted for review. I set forChan’s launch page to an imageboard containing dogs. Apple stated that it was only later they discovered that forChan can be used by end users to access pornographic content, which is not permitted under the iDP Agreement.” “Per the iDP agreement,” Charles continued, “Apple has the right to terminate my license for dishonest and fraudulent acts, including trying to hide application functionality from Apple’s review.”

Whoa, whoa, whoa … slow down sparky! Did you say Apple did not realize that a web browser can access porn? “It’s confusing to me as well, but that’s what Apple stated in the Notice Of Termination email they sent me,” Charles said. “I attempted to call Apple for further clarification,” Charles continues, “but they stated that all correspondence regarding this matter can only be in email format.”

It should be obvious that forChan could access porn … even its description states, “forChan is a web browser app … any content including UNCENSORED pics can be accessed.” Now Charles did jump on the porn imageboard bandwagon and created his own adult site … however this information was not publicized within the app or its description (unlike the SuicideGirls application where its URL is displayed in the description and the app).

forChan-Complete-Title

So maybe Gizmodo is right … ban Safari and Bing. And while you’re at it, revoke Apple’s and Microsoft’s developers license. Or how about the hundreds or third-party web browsers … we all know why they include Private Web Browsing as a feature. Hell, there’s even an iPrOn Private Browser app … pron (or pr0n) is porn, deliberately misspelled.

ipron-title

And why do imageboard browsers still remain in the App Store? The iImageboard app is identical to forChan … enter a URL and you are connected to its content, porn included. Anonyma is another one … and even easier access to porn by simply entering one letter as the URL … type in S and a “Sexy Women” pornography imageboard is revealed.

Anonyma-Title

Anonyma-1  Anonyma-2

A final question remains … will Apple forward Charles’ portion of revenues from his apps sold in December and the first 20 days of January? “I certainly hope so as I rely on iPhone development to support my mother and kid sister. Our rent is literally due in ten days,” said Charles. Hmmm, I don’t know bro … we’re thinking you might get that famous six-word Jobs response … “Not That Big Of A Deal”.

iChug Times How Fast You Chug A Beer – Frat Boys Rejoice

Appa-iFonna-Chi-103 Did you know KRAPPS is in a fraternity? An iPhone frat. And just like your typical frat, it’s filled with the grossest apps available … puking, farting, pissing, belching, zit picking, loogy hawking, etc. Yeah baby … Appa iFonna Chi … that’s how we roll!

So it’s all good at Appa iFonna Chi, except for this one reoccurring problem … our daily beer chugging contests. Seems the brothers take their brew pounding way too seriously and no matter how hard we try, we can never accurately determine proper chug time. It’s an honor to be recognized as the fastest beer drinker at Appa iFonna Chi (or any frat for that matter), so measuring precise chug time is critical to the long- term success of our organization.  Plus it minimizes the drunken fisticuffs – little bitches whining about who had the fastest result.

Beer-Chugging

Well thanks to the brilliant minds at Icon Entertainment and their revolutionary new app … iChug … frat boy bitch fights are a thing of the past.

iChug-Title

All the brothers at Appa iFonna Chi agree, we love iChug! Icon Entertainment really nailed it, leveraging the iPhone’s accelerometer, coupled with complex mathematical formulas to accurately determine chug times. And iChug is so simple to use, even us frat boys can do it. Hold iChug against your beer … press “Play” … start chugging … upon finishing your beer and returning the drink/iPhone back to its starting position, iChug measures and displays your chug time to the one hundredth of a second (it’s like freaking Olympic timing good).

iChug-1  iChug-2

One thing we’d love to see Icon Entertainment include in a future update is a worldwide leaderboard. This global ranking would prove once and for all that Appa iFonna Chi is superior to that other pathetic excuse for a frat … Googela Androida Omega.

Oh and be sure to check out the steamy iChug promo video below. Never mind the dueling douchebags, the real talent in this clip are the hot chicks pouring beer over each other (relevant? probably not … but who cares … these are hot chicks with beer). Ahhh, now there’s an idea for our next app and Appa iFonna Chi’s little sisters.

Drunken Girls – Another Proud App Store Moment

This next application has us at a total loss for words. So rather than making you read through 400 words of clever editorial ramblings, we’ll just shut up and leave you with Drunken Girls (sorry, there really is an app for that).

Drunken-Girls-Title

Drunken-Girls-1  Drunken-Girls-2

Drunken-Girls-3  Drunken-Girls-4

Honestly, we expected a bit more titillation from this app … not a bunch of comatose girls who look like they’re about to puke. Damn there are some sick fetishes out there!

Official KRAPPS App Is Now Available – Full Of Kraptastic Goodness

KRAPPS-App-Banner So did you get the memo from Gigaom about The App Store Economy … well, it’s really not a memo, more of an article. Anyways, Gigaom reports the App Store contains nearly 135,000 apps available for download made by over 28,000 developers. Yup … ONE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND apps … simply put, that’s a shitload of applications!

To be honest, we were feeling a bit left out. It’s like everyone and their mother has an app … everyone except for KRAPPS. No app for you KRAPPS … you suck!

Well good news … we may still suck, but at least we now have an app. Our app was made possible by the dude (Arthur Anderson – we call him “Arty” since his name sounds too serious) who developed the “Call Someone A Douche Bag In 17 Different Languages” soundboard app (ADoucheBag) … and the creative geeks from Kneadle Design Studio (same folks who created the KRAPPS logo). So run, don’t walk … and check out 
the official KRAPPS App [iTunes].

KRAPPS-App-Title

Look, we won’t kid you … the KRAPPS App does not contain boobs barely covered with pasties, farts, vomit, poop, shaken babies, bikini girls or other trendy features.
What it does provide are convenient updates to KRAPPS.com articles and our Twitter stream, including a humorous look into the crazy world of Apple and their whacky, weird, stupid and strange iPhone crap apps … Piss With Your iPhone app, Massacre Puppies app, Weigh Your Poop app, Sexy Girl Happy Finish Massage app and a ton more.

KRAPPS-App-1  KRAPPS-App-2

Oh and look, we spent the big bucks and paid for celebrity endorsements …

Dave Castelnuovo (Pocket God developer) says, “The robots are awesome and Megan Fox is super hot! Oh wait, we’re not talking about the Transformers? Umm, yea, the KRAPPS app is cool.”

Craig Robinson (Minipops artist & developer) says, “What the? This KRAPPS garbage get’s approved and my app is rejected?”

Todd Bernhard (9,999 Ringtones Uncensored) says, “I like KRAPPS. I was actually gonna name my app 100KRAPPS, but 100sounds seemed more family friendly.”

anonymous (Baby Shaker developer) says, “We hate KRAPPS. FFFUUU. You guys suck!”

KRAPPS-App-3

Well if the celebrity endorsements didn’t sell you … how about the cool KRAPPS logo icon? Get that beautiful baby on your iPhone and chicks/hunks (depending on your sexual preference) will dig you! And if your still not sold … how about the price? All this kraptastic stuff is FREE – FREE – FREE.

Go be awesome … download the KRAPPS App now. We thank you for your support!

Monkeys In Space Delivers Galactic Goodness To Your iPhone

(written by guest author Tim Giron. follow Tim on Twitter @timgiron)

I’ve been playing the latest game from Streaming Colour Studios, Monkeys in Space: Escape to Banana Base Alpha [iTunes] since the day it came out in late November. At the time, I bought it solely based on the reputation of the developer to deliver a solid game. Their other app, Dapple [our review], is one of my favorite games on the iPhone, so I hoped to be similarly entertained with the new offering. And, I am happy to report, I was not disappointed in the least.

MiS_banner

The rules are simple: color coded monkeys (red and yellow) need to be guided to their correspondingly colored space station without touching each other (or any of the asteroids which fly about in one of the levels). As the level progresses, the action gets fast and furious, requiring nimble fingers to achieve high score success. The game also utilizes multi-touch, allowing complex maneuvers to be carried out if you possess the appropriate dexterity (or a trusted friend)!

MIS-11

Scoring values are increased when you are able to "chain" together several monkeys of the same color to enter the space station as a connected line. Any monkeys on the same chain are also allowed to touch each other. Three levels are immediately accessible: in Deep Space, it’s just monkeys and space stations; in Planetary Chaos, a gravity inducing planet occupies the center of the screen, warping trajectories and flinging monkeys into each other at high speeds; in Asteroids! you have to avoid collisions with a few space rocks as well. In a mid-December version 1.1 release, a fourth level was added, Threes a Crowd which is unlocked when you have saved 750 monkeys. This advanced level features a third monkey, the large blue baboon which, as you may have guessed is paired with a blue space station.

MIS-22

The game looks fantastic and plays super-smooth. The sound effects and music are also are top-notch. The monkeys panic and begin screeching when they are in imminent danger of colliding, giving you just enough time to attempt evasive action before their "personal space" is invaded. The game also lets you play your own music from the iPod, a feature which is always appreciated. For you high-scoring, competitive types, the game interfaces with the OpenFeint system to record your accomplishments.

MS-3

Monkeys in Space: Escape to Banana Base Alpha is a great addition to the pantheon of iPhone games, providing an abundance of entertainment value for the price, which at the time of this writing, is just 99 cents [iTunes].

uPoop – What Goes In, Must Come Out. But How Much Does It Weigh?

We wonder about stuff. Like what hair color do they put on the driver’s license of a bald man? Or why the alphabet is in that order? If you throw a cat out a car window does it become kitty litter? Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle? And if you choke a  Smurf, what color does it turn?

elephant-poop But all these curiosities pale in comparison to our most puzzling mystery … how much does our poop weigh? Oh don’t laugh … at least we have the balls to admit that when we look into the bowels of the porcelain god, we often wonder the weight of our fecal matter. It’s a mesmerizing proposition and not something that can be satisfied by simply pooping popping it on a scale.

So this is when your iPhone comes in handy. This is when putting up with all the annoyances of your sack of suck cellular (say that five times fast) provider, AT&T, finally pays off. Wondering how much crap weighs … this is when the uPoop app really stinks shines.

uPoop-Title

No, it’s not what you think. Pretty poop photography is not involved as the developers of uPoop, Harmonist Inc., have not unleashed the power of fecal recognition software. Rather, uPoop is a device that will calculate the weight of your bowel movements based on the food you have eaten.

uPoop1

Harmonist Inc. is comprised of four North Carolina State students with an affinity for predictive analytics and primal Wolfpack urges of pinching a loaf. So it totally makes sense that these brilliant minds collaborated to release a crappy calculator (you can read that however you want). In an official company statement, Harmonist Inc. claims that uPoop is a demonstration of the lighter side of the company … LOL, we won’t weigh in on that one (as usual, pun intended).

iBoobOrButt – Cleavage And Crack Are So Confusing

ibooborbutt-b Have you ever been checking out a girl’s rack, only to find out that you’ve really been staring at her bootylicious? Or how about a fine rear-end which turns out to be completely oppo … it’s her headlights. OUCH – embarrassing!

But hey, don’t feel bad … it’s tough distinguishing between cleavage and butt cracks. All fault lines kinda do look the same. And if anyone tells you they have no problem with boobs versus butts … meh, they’re fargin iceholes.

So to help get you on your “A” game, the good folks at Goruk have released the perfect tool to help train you properly identify those certain girl parts … the iBoobOrButt app.

ibooborbutt-title

Similar to a baseball player fielding ground ball after ground ball … no more boobs and butts you see, the better you’ll get at recognizing them. Remember kids, practice makes perfect.

iBoobOrButt first presents a select part of the female anatomy … while the rest of the body is hidden. You only have five seconds (no one said this was going to be easy) to correctly determine if the full image are boobs or a butt. Oh and look … too cool of Goruk to include an online leaderboard.

ibooborbutt-2  ibooborbutt-1

LOL … a portal of the classic online game … Boobs, Butt or Shoulder (sans shoulder of course, Goruk got lazy?) that will have the opportunity to mock and shame millions of iPhone users. Ha!
