iPhone Stalking Apps Commercial

Nerd Grind — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:54:32 +0000

Just last night I saw in Apple iPhone ad that boasted the App store has an App for everything, and 75,000 iPhone Apps to choose from. Technology moves along so fast that it outpaced that commercial. Apple just announce the other day there are 85,000 Apps available now. Today it could be 95,000.

In the spirit of Apps for everything I present this very appropriate parody commercial. The only thing missing was a tutorial on how to disable the GPS tracking chip in the iPhone.

MMS Ad Can Now be Viewed by iPhone Customers

Nerd Grind — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:38:52 +0000

The Lowe Ginkgo agency in Montevideo created an ad for a new deodorant to be launched in Uruguay. The ad was placed in magazines that edited the best parts, but had this message for frustrated readers:

To complete this ad send AXE to 2345 after 9 pm.

Once the server received the SMS text message it replied with a MMS picture of the model from the ad without the editing, so the best parts could now be viewed.

Absolutely genius.

Thieves Clean Out an Apple Store in 31 Seconds – Video

Nerd Grind — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:04:28 +0000

In Marlton, New Jersey thieves broke the store front window of an Apple store, then proceeded to steel 23 Macbook Pros, 14 iPhones, and 9 iPod Touches, all in 31 seconds.

The thieves fooled a security guard into thinking they had a gun in the security surveillance video obtained by WPVI-TV.

The loss was nearly $100,000 worth of merchandise that was on display. At the moment police have no idea who the thieves are because they all kept their faces covered.

This takes smash-and-grab to a whole new level.

Joost Introduces iPhone App That Streams Videos and Movies

Nerd Grind — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 10:55:22 +0000

Joost may have lost the online video war to Hulu a while ago, but they may have won the battle to bring the format to iPhones. The company has released a new iPhone app which streams over 46,000 videos for free, including full movies such as Men in Black and Starship Troopers.

Reviewers indicate that the app crashes more often than they’d like, and the navigation UI is a bit wonky. Still, having 46,000 movies at your fingertips wherever you are at any time is enough to deal with early version bugs. The app is out now and best of all, it’s free. What are you waiting for?
