I got persuaded to download Words With Friends last night.

So I'm Ghostbiscuit, if anyone fancies a game at some point.

I'm sure a 9th game at once wouldn't hurt...

Accepted!

From Touch Arcade

Another very interesting bit of news comes from forum reader killy billy who spotted seven new games listed in the C64 in-app shop yesterday but, as yet, unavailable for purchase. The list of games he saw follows.

International Karate
Microprose Soccer
Jumpman
Druid
Wizball
Trailblazer
Elite

Elite There might be hope for Revenge then ?

And how good does this look ?

Just sold my (free) upgrade on O2 to another iPhone 3GS (kept my old iPhone 3GS) on eBay for 395 quid That's paid for my iPad then and my partner's work upgrade on his iphone is due in March and as he runs the place he will be doing the same with his Cant believe they sell for that sort of money on eBay still, it was unopened and with delivery receipt but still....

And this rather nice (I just used to love MC back in my arcade days)

Eh? How did that work then...?

[WiteWulf]

Jesus...what sort of a contract are you on to get a free 3GS?

[Deckard]

Hubby is boss of a large builder's merchant in Bristol so we are both on corporate ones now and with his clout we get free upgrades 12 monthly so we just sell them but I am still surprised that mine fetched 395 on ebay last week

Logitech Touchmouse

Turns your iPod/iPhone into a wireless mouse and keyboard. It's free and works surprisingly well. Would be especially useful to anyone using their PC as a media center

I'll give this to Android I prefer the lock screen which i have now installed

Interestingly different reports from Apple and SANS on what's included in the 3.1.3 update:

- Improved accuracy of reported battery level on iPhone 3GS

- Issue resolved where third-party apps just don't launch

- Japanese Kana keyboard caused crashes in some instances, but these bugs have now been removed

vs.

Almost all of the issues addressed are serious - many of them are buffer overflow conditions allowing arbitrary code execution for common iPhone activities:

- watching a maliciously crafted MP4 video
- viewing a malicious TIFF graphic
- accessing a (again, maliciously crafted) FTP site.

There's also a particularly nasty one that uses a memory corruption issue to bypass the iPhone password (via a crafted USB control message), allowing access to user data on the phone.

That lot could potentially make things interesting for Jailbreaking, but I don't honestly know enough about the process to say for sure.

I wonder what the battery level fix is.

I wonder what the battery level fix is.

I've seen some weirdness with my 3GS that it will sometimes suddenly decide it's low on charge, even though I've not been using it much (I routinely charge it every night). This happens to the extent that it shuts down (and can't be powered back up) but if I plug the charger in it will charge to something like 75% (where it probably should have been before the oddness happened) almost instantly. Installed 3.1.3, but too early to say if that's what they fixed.

Our lass has exactly the same problem with her 3G on 3.1.2

Currently going through an inverted mid life crisis and keen to get/keep fit

so have started the 100 pushup challenge and got the associated app for it (partially out of motivation more than anything else)

also picked up Cyclemeter just to record my cycling (have been interested to see just how much calories I'm actually burning off from the exercise). Had tried MapMyRide but found it very poor in terms of actually mapping the route. Tried Cyclemeter on my trip home and it was pretty accurate and fairly infomative, with plenty of statistics (average speed, distance, climbs, calories, etc), as well as having export facilities for google maps, excel, etc.

Was thinking about a cycle computer but this is a pretty good substitute and only £2.99 . Does need to be running but allows music to be played (no use to me as I don't like to cycle with earphones on), not a big drain on batteries either

Another standard for online play ? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/appmodo/~3/Di2u51BPKyg/
