Apple bans fart apps from new watch

By +Brad Naylor

Tech giant and fan boy magnet Apple Inc. have surreptitiously banned all fart apps for their new apple watch according to some app developers. For those without imagination, the concept of a fart app is to hide the iPhone close to somebody else and while standing an inconspicuously safe distance away, press a button on the Apple Watch to trigger a fart sound from the iPhone, thus making it appear that the target 'let one rip'.

Hundreds of iPads destroyed by bogus apps

by +Alexa Rankin

It seems that technology is making us dumber and the iPad is the leading cause of techtardation. Ever since the first iteration of the i-device, people have been developing apps to make life easier and keep us entertained, but recently there have been a number of apps designed to test peoples stupidity.

Bubes Says - iOS 7 - Still two steps behind Android

Hello Bubes fans, today is the release day of Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 7. Being a major celebrity, I was given the opportunity to preview this momentous and life changing software update. I don't want to spoil anything for you fanboys out there, but it's still not my preferred option.

Movie Review - Jobs

by +Ian C

When I left my house to watch the premiere showing of Jobs, I was expecting to join the back of a long line of Apple fan-boys circling the movie theater like it was a Best Buy store on iPhone 6 release day. I was both surprised and pleased that this was not the case. There were some middle aged iPhowners there who were old enough to remember the release of the first Mac, regretting not investing a dollar into the company back in the 70's. "My dollar would be worth $44,000 now", I overheard one of them say. 

The cross section of people lining up for the movie was not entirely what I was expecting. My preconception of the 'Jobs' audience was along the lines of a ComicCon audience. There were more women in line than I would have imagined, maybe due to the Ashton Kutcher influence. Also, people were older than I anticipated they would be. And as I mentioned already, there were considerably fewer people than I expected.

Q10 - BlackBerry's last hope

by +Brad Naylor

You may have seen the commercials for the new Q10, the latest smartphone from free-falling phone maker, BlackBerry. Over the last 5 years, the Apple and Android operating systems have been making extraordinary leaps, leaving the BlackBerry OS languishing way behind.

Steve Jobs 1 year after his death

This post was originally planned for October 5th 2012, but we didn't want it to get lost in a mass of Steve Jobs tributes, so we are preempting the rush and publishing it 18 days early.

Steve Jobs was a visionary. He co-founded Apple in 1976 and is credited with single-handedly revolutionizing technology as we know it. Blah, blah, blah! We all know the Apple story, and if you don't then go g**gle it.

The modern Apple story is one of proprietary designs, fanboys and aggressively defending it's 4.7 million trademarks from other tech companies like Samsung (who ironically make the screens and most of the chips found in many i-devices). This mindset was created by Jobs and continues through the Apple corporation even after his untimely death one year ago.

i is for apple

I am in favor of technology making life easier. I love my coffee maker which has a delay timer so that I can wake up to piping hot fresh coffee. I love my universal remote control which covers pretty much every aspect of my home entertainment. What I don't love is 3D! Movies, TV video games, it all just gives me a headache.

Obama offers funding to stem Apple's Jobs loss

Yeah, I know. Bad taste headline. Steve Jobs was a visionary, a man before his time and will be sorely missed by millions of Apple fanboys.

iBone, the new iPhone sexting app

Apple have finally approved the controversial iBone app for sale in their iTunes store, despite opposition from a number of morality groups. The app, which retails for $1.99, enables 2 or more iPhone users to connect via text message, voice and camera with the primary purpose of 'sexting' each other.

Top 10 iPhone apps and accessories

To celebrate the release (oops too late) of the iPhone 4, I have compiled a Top 10 list of iPhone apps and accessories that no self respecting iPhowner should be without.

10. How Much?
This useful little app will let you know, up to the minute how much it has cost you to own your iPhone and can estimate how much more money you will be required to hand over before your 2 year contract expires and you can be free of the ridiculous charges.

9. Penis Measure
A handy little tool for measuring your handy little tool. Since the iPhone is blessed with a 3 inch screen, 97% of iPhowners can get an accurate reading from this app.
