T-Mobile pushes out Android update, CRC1
Posted on July 20, 2009 | No Comments
So I’ve had my G1 for a few days now and I’ve been patiently waiting for it to update from 1.1 to Cupcake and it finally did yesterday. Over the last few days T-Mobile has been pushing out an update to Cupcake, CRC1. There doesn’t seem to be any discernible differences (from a lay person's standpoint) between this build and CRB43, but I’m no Android expert. A quick look through the XDA forums reveals that it’s a pretty big security update for a slew of apps and the recovery image.

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.

The Viliv S7’s battery gets tested in Korea
Posted on July 18, 2009 | No Comments
Viliv went all official on the S7 a couple of weeks ago. The hot convertible tablet definitely sparked my interest, especially the 4700mAh lithium polymer batter that is said to have up to 9.5 hours.
