Apple banned this app

I am wondering how long it would take for THW's reporter to put it on the news? They are slow on news.

Wow ... cheesy game.

Can't believe the major news stories have missed it.

Sent a PM to Jane McEntegert and mentioned your thread mate ... credit where credit is due.

Well done.

Yikes! The problem is, Apple doesn't care.

Hey Pyree,

We work with a very small staff, so it's hard for us to catch every thing that happens. Thanks for passing this along!

Apple is the source of all Goodness. Of course they banned the app.

@ JMcEntegart

No problem

I will be doing more of that now. Searching for news and reporting it back.

 

[Reynod]

Change your title to "Toms Guide Informer" ... lol.

Well done.

It looks like I am targeting Apple but trust me, I am not. I was just reading tech news on Google and it came up (news item number 9 as of 22-9-2011 8:46pm@+9.30):

http://news.google.com/news/section?pz=1&cf=all&ned=au&topic=tc

So I search for the term OSX on news. Search result 1 and 2 totally contradicts each other.

Bigger LOL!

We should ask for a new badge for the news area ... as a way to help our hacks get the latest news quicker ... since most of us are news freaks:

Bronze 5 posts to the news desk (PM account) Informant
Silver 10 posts to the news desk (PM Account) Hound
Gold 20 posts to the news Desk (PM Account) Hack
Gold and special title 50 posts to the news desk (PM Account) Mike MGeek

Any comments / other ideas?

I'll suggest it to Chris and Tuan ...

I think its funny that Gore is on the board of directors for apple and lets these sweat shops exist. Also he may have angered the apple lords by releasing info on the iPhone(s) 5.

My previous post doesn't make much sense now because the placement of the news item moved. But the news was on how everyone can change the password on OSX accounts if they have access to the computer:

Edit: More news- Einstein's theory of relativity contested. Neutrino can travel faster than the speed of light

[Reynod]

I thought only tachyons and gravity travels / propogates faster than light.

Wow !!

 

[Pyree]

Neutrino has a mass so if it can travel faster than light then it is really exciting. Open the door for possibly time traveling.

Get it from the right source, and if you like the sciences, download the android app, it rocks!

So much for the civil war in 2004 / 2005.

I though iphone had voice control but it didn't. My old Nokia symbian phone from 2006 already had that. So iphone finally catch up in the voice recognition department.
