Digital Comic Banned from iTunes App Store

The first digital comic for iPhone/iPod touch to be banned from the iTunes App Store is MURDERDROME, a darkly humorous strip posted for free on the store and rejected due to contravening Apple’s content guidelines.

Infurious Comics are therefore making a plea to Apple to add the same age categories to their books/comic sections as they have in their games and music sections. We have extensive support from the industry in this and would welcome a change in the current store in order to make sure that content is categorised appropriately.

Owing to a surge of public interest …

All we need you to do is take our survey – we promise we wont touch you like uncle Teddy did that day back in Kennebunkport. Shhhh…

Yes, that’s right – we want you to spend 30 seconds and tell us what you think about BabyGotMac.

Help test a new site – McDev.com, URL shrinker

Ever used TinyURL? Did you feel like, afterwards, you weren’t satisfied – that perhaps the URLs just weren’t tiny enough? Well how about helping us test a new site that has the same basic functions as TinyUrl and it’s ilk, except it is newer, shinier, tinier and URLier?

The Great Firewall of China

Apple’s online music store, iTunes, has been blocked in China after more than 40 Olympic athletes downloaded a pro-Tibet album from the site.

Consumers in China began inundating Apple help forums on Monday, saying that they could not access iTunes. Earlier on the same day the US-based International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) announced that 46 athletes from America, Europe and even Beijing had used the site to download Songs for Tibet, which had been offered to them free.

Did you hear the one about the Polish iPhone launch?

There’s a punchline in here somewhere, but it would probably offend someone…feel free to post your own in the comments though.

Poland’s biggest telecoms operator, Telekomunikacja Polska, acknowledged Friday that it had paid young, hip-looking film extras to stand in queues for the national launch of Apple’s iPhone.

“It was a marketing move. We thought it was a pretty interesting strategy,” TP spokesman Wojciech Jabczynski told AFP.

TP is controlled by France Telecom, which owns the Orange mobile telephone brand.

The iPhone, which had its initial launch in the Unites States in July, went on sale at Orange’s Polish stores on Friday after …

iPhone 3g gets waterboarded

Watch and see, my friends, watch and see…then shed a lonely tear for our brave little toaster, er, iPhone.

iPhone – Remote Desktop Lite (Windows access)

If you are like me, you’re tired of taking crap from the other kids in the IT playground just because their Windows Mobile phones can do RDP. Well no longer, says I – MochaSoft has released RDP for the iPhone (as well as their VNCicon and Telneticon clients of course).
No longer will I suffer the indignities of VNCing to my Mac just to RDP back into a server – nay, now I can keep my fat ass at the buffet and login from my iPhone natively, changing passwords and restarting …
