iPhone Apps: Joost Review

Joost: Naughty App makes it through

12.03.08   Issen Alibris    

Joost - Apple’s very obscure terms and conditions for app developers has been a hot topic. The lack of transparency in the certification process has been known to be confusing, frustrating and a heated point of dispute. However, there are some rules that are pretty clear-cut such as Apple’s “family friendly content” policy. They’ve been diligent about making sure most developers adhere to the rules, too — giving the South Park app a hard time for content, and yanking apps such as Murderdome.
At times though, it seems Apples has ignored their own standards. The most current app to bend the rules has not only gotten past Apple’s content filter, it has possibly violated the largest no-no within the App Store.
We talked earlier this week about popular online video portal Joost. It seems there is more the story.Joost offers free iphone porn and plenty of it. In fact, there is an entire section within Joost just for “Sexy Clips” that has videos any young male would drool over and watch with the door shut.
And it doesn’t stop there. The folks at Joost also have inserted naughty language to accompany the strictly men-tertaining video, and have a separate section in the app with free full-length movies. Isn’t that considered direct competition with Apple’s iTunes movie store?
The best scenario we can hope for is that the folks at Apple let this one slip through the cracks.  There will probably be enough smoke over the next few days that Apple will act in a fair and expeditious manner. If they don’t they will no doubt have a lot of developers with crossed arms and frowns screaming “Bloody Murder!”

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...
