Gateway aims low with the LT2000 netbook

Apple Approves iPhone App That “Promotes School Shootings”
Posted on July 20, 2009 | No Comments
Our beefs with Apple's inconsistent behavior when it comes to approving or rejecting applications for the iPhone / iPod Touch platform has been well documented. iPhoneWorld.ca draws our attention to yet another example that makes us wonder if there's a clear policy at Infinite Loop at all, or if the team is simply trained well in the 'hit or miss' phenomenon. Or as ComputerWorld eloquently puts it: "[Apple's App Store] is lorded over by an inscrutable team of guardians devoted to maintaining control over the platform."
Take this Zombie School application from the aptly named iPhone app developer Retarded Arts. It lets you turn your classmates or teachers into zombies, after which you can use a machine gun, bow or grenades to kill them. It's a pretty tasteless game, but I can see how the team at Apple responsible for screening new apps for submission in the App Store could have missed the sensitiveness surrounding the topic of the game to ultimately approve it.

Wrist-Mounted Keyboard Has Us All in a Froth
Posted on July 20, 2009 | No CommentsThis one handed (or rather one-handed, one wristed) keyboard is your ticket straight out of the dating game. It manages to hit plenty of extra geek-buttons as it heads for the exit, though: The company is iKey, and the name is a military hardware evoking AK-39. The keyboard is actually designed for some heavy-duty use, featuring [...] -
