Apple pulls iAds from apps for kids

May 11th 2011 1:15PM (TUAW.com)
Everybody plays Pokemon. The perception that it is only for children is no longer true. While it may have been true when the first games came out, players that were at the time children are now adults and continue to play Pokemon. These games sell bazillions of copies, even if only 10% of them are adult players, that's still more adults playing pokemon than there are playing most other games.

Furthermore, most of the truly "hardcore" pokemon players that this app is targeted at are not children. If you're going to buy a pokedex app and calculate pokemon breeding conditions and all that other crazy stuff, you are probably not 8 years old. One of my good friends does this kind of stuff, and he's 30 years old.

So really, it doesn't seem fair for Apple to say what audience an app is targeted at and then deny iAd access on those grounds.

Camera + 2.2 adds Clarity feature, UI improvements, more

Mar 29th 2011 1:10PM (TUAW.com)
I'm not sure what's up with Clarity. Your shots all look much improved but when I try it they come out looking AWFUL. They are horribly grainy looking almost every time. I should note that I am using a 3GS, so perhaps this feature was only tuned for the iPhone 4's camera. As it stands, I don't think I it has been tuned properly for the 3GS.

Download, play, and convert most video formats with Miro

Oct 25th 2010 9:58AM (TUAW.com)
I'm interested in the same thing.

I don't need the fancy torrent part of the apple (very happy with Transmission for that) so all I need is the video conversion part (since I'm not happy with Evom and Handbrake). Rather than downloading the full Miro app, I just got the Miro Video Converter to see how it compares to Evom. It doesn't have a pre-set for AppleTV, so I'm converting some HD content right now with the generic MP4 converter. It'll take awhile since it's on my early 2008 2.4Ghz white MacBook.

Once I'm back from work tonight, I'll post my thoughts on how the conversion came out.

Does it have a BGM Sound Test mode? Please please say yes. I want to listen to the music without playing the game.

Hulu Plus announced for iPhone and iPad

Jun 29th 2010 3:06PM (TUAW.com)
Like others have said, it's already in the app store. And it works without a Hulu account. I'm assuming it just has limited content for non-plus subscribers. You actually can't even login with a standard Hulu account. I get an error message saying only Plus members can sign in.
