Liquid Sensors Will Tell All About Your Drinking Habits
Nov 21st
One little-discussed feature of the new MacBook and MacBook Pro models is the hidden liquid sensors inside the machine. Â I’ve taken a look at the internals, and it appears as though no one will be able to squeeze a liquid spill through the repair queue at the local Apple Store any longer. Â On my count, there are 4 liquid sensors near each corner of the machine thus telling the Genius that you’re lying or that unbeknownst to you, someone spilled “water” on your machine at your party last night. Â Either way, if previous Apple history is repeated, you can expect them to tell you that your warranty — limited or extended — is void if even one of these sensors touches liquid.
Apple Makes Our Work More Difficult… Nearly Impossible
Sep 29th
We really hate complaining about Apple but they’ve given us way too much fodder recently. Go ahead, check your computer’s iTunes App Store…
You’ll notice that there’s no longer links to the handy dandy “All iPhone Applications,” “All Free iPhone Applications,” “All iPod Touch Applications…” Â In fact, there’s no way, shape or form that you could see what was just released today, yesterday, or the day before.
Apple has completely axed our way of scouring the App Store and looking for new, great applications.  If we want to see new apps, we have to click EACH and EVERY friggen CATEGORY to see what could be new.  Stupid?  More like BullSH*T.  That or we could rely on the TOP PAID apps and the TOP FREE apps sections… but how would that help our readers?? If an app is already at the top, there’s a pretty good chance it’s worth downloading.
CTA wants to stay current, so help us smack Apple with some constructive/destructive criticism and get the App store back to the way it once was… easy to navigate, easy to see what’s new. Â Please click here to send some feedback and demand that they allow us to continue the work we do.
All we can say at this point: “Come on, Apple. Â Get your crap straight.”
Apple’s App Store Policies Sketch? Yep.
Sep 15th
Remember Netshare (Now completely banned from the App Store as of Septemer 13th)? Â How about Box Office (Replaced with “Now Playing”)? Â Well it appears that there’s a new app that’s been rejected without probable cause: Podcaster. Â It’s designed to exist as a podcast manager on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Â Apple explained to the developer that it “assists in the distribution of podcasts, it duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes.” Read on for more information about Apple’s sketch policies and how one developer is getting around them…
The Tetris Company Forcing Tris from the App Store!
Aug 25th
We heard some disheartening news this morning: The Tetris Company is forcing beloved developer Noah Witherspoon to remove everyone’s favorite free game, Tris. Â If history were to truly play out again, TTC wouldn’t really have a case against Noah, but he — we can’t blame him — doesn’t have the time or resources to fight big bad game companies. Â Read more about this crushing story after the break…
