Apple is doing a good job at driving developers to circumvent the official App Store sales mechanism and motivating users to jailbreak their iPhones. The company has rejected another useful application, Angelo DiNardi’s MailWrangler, because it “duplicates the functionality of the built-in iPhone application Mail.” In a post to his blog, DiNardi says his application, which allows users to add and access multiple Gmail accounts “simply directly loading and showing Gmail inside of an application,” ...

The team wrote in their blog today that the new iTunes software will detect when a Pwnage exploit is taking place and prevents it from going through.

The Gorillapod started out as a small, flexible, grippy tripod for holding cameras. It's tentacle-like rubberized gripping arms can be twisted and contorted to hold a camera steady just about anywhere. Now they have adapted it to fit other things, among which are the iPhone and iPod touch. They call it the Gorillapod Go-Go.

Selim Arsever wants to make it easier to great JavaScript games, so he created gameQuery, based on jQuery. gameQuery allows you to declare animations, which are made of one image with a succession of frames just like in a css sprite. An animation in itself doesn't exist until it's associated with a sprite. PLAIN TEXT JAVASCRIPT: var myAnimation = new Animation({ imageURL: "./myAnimation.png", numberOfFrame: 10, delta: 60, rate: 90, type: Animation.VERTICAL | Animation.ONCE});

While Google's new Chrome web browser has been met with a lot of praise and positive responses (well, mostly, at least), there has been one nagging issue that arose quite quickly after people got their hands on Chrome: the End User License Agreement accompanying the browser. It more or less granted Google the rights to everything seen or transmitted through the browser. Google now changed the EULA, saying it was a big case of woopsiedoopsie.

For some reason, we like to implement Coverflow to see if the technology of choice is decent enough to do so. This latest version works with Canvas, and does a nice job of smoothly doing the animations at hand. All you have to do is: PLAIN TEXT JAVASCRIPT: Coverflow.init( [ {src: 'img/img-0-lo.jpg', label: {album: 'All That I Am', artist: 'Santana'}}, {src: 'img/img-1-lo.jpg', label: {album: 'August & Everything After', artist: 'Counting Crows'}}, {src: 'img/img-2-lo.jpg', label: {album: ...

Wes Biggs has posted on Xsstc, his cross-site scripting solution that uses CSS to hide the data: It turns out CSS leaks data in a very subtle way. Properties set by an external stylesheet (that is, one that is loaded using a LINK REL="STYLESHEET" tag) are used to style the elements of the host page, and at runtime the page can introspect itself to see what styles have been applied. Most of these tend to ...

The legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement all iPhone developers are required to agree to forbids the discussion of iPhone app development, and it's hindering the quality of the apps being developed for the iPhone and iPod touch. The restriction is creating some significant problems for many, but some have found a way around the contract.

A few months ago I talked about our plans to offer a persistent storage feature for Amazon EC2. At that time I indicated that the service was in a limited alpha release with a small number of customers. Since then the alpha testers have been putting the service to good use and have provided us with a lot of very helpful feedback. As of today, the Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is now open and ...

Unbelievable, this is amazing. I wish they'd give sample cost estimates - I/O requests is an interesting metric to charge by. Snapshots is really great.

37signals recommends that software developers pursue what they call the Hollywood Launch.
