xZorro and Aromatic

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:09:09 +0200

So, after 4 rejections my first iPhone game, xZorro (originally xBill) is now in the Apple’s App Store (*). It was a long journey - almost 2 months after first submission and I have just finished my second app (not a game) - its name is Aromatic. For this I worked with one renowned (in its field) company and what came out is… a cool app with great potential.

Aromatic was submitted to the AppStore today. More details very soon!

It's 2009

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:11:00 +0200

My german provider, domainbox on friday updated its servers, since that my website and email were offline for 3 days. Why for so long? Well, because

their live support (chat) is offline
phone support (14c/min) is always busy
they are working mo-fr, 9:00-6:00

I mean… it’s 2009 and I’m paying 120eu/year. How can provider take the liberty of it?

“Ive was insistent that the key to Apple’s success was that it was not driven by money - a claim that may raise eyebrows amongst shareholders and customers - but by a complete focus on delivering just a few desirable and useful products.
“For a large mulit-billion dollar company we don’t actually make many different products,” he explained. “We’re so focused, we’re very clear about our goals.””

“I am largely ambivalent towards Apple, but it’s impossible to be ambivalent about the iPhone — and in particular, the latest and greatest iPhone 3GS. It is the Pentium to the 486 of the iPhone 3G. A landmark, genre-defining product, no longer a mere smartphone but an honest to God fully capable, no-compromises computer in the palm of your hand. Here’s how far I am willing to go: I believe the iPhone will ultimately be judged a more important product than the original Apple Macintosh.”

Got call from Apple

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:45:00 +0200

Yes, this is start of a trend. Today I got a call from Apple regarding xBill. After short explanation it was… the name. The nice person on the phone assured me that this is the last reason they can’t approve it (someone still can link “Bill” to Bill G.).

Actually, it was a joke as I said I’m thinking about renaming the game to xZorro. But now it isn’t anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… xZorro! I mean, after the approvement. Of course.

Steve Jobs’ Return is Still Vaporware

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:43:28 +0200

Steve Jobs’ Return is Still Vaporware:

Apple is once again up to its media manipulation tactics, or so I allege. […] The timing, on day of iPhone 3GS launch, helps protect Apple’s share price and deemphasize an important fact: Steve isn’t really coming back this month.

“This must be a deliberate, timed leak from Apple. The timing is simply perfect from Apple’s perspective […]
But two things strike me about this story. First, the WSJ offers no source for this information — not even an “according to sources close to the matter”. But yet they state it flatly as certain fact. That’s highly unusual.”

So, after one day of testing there’s one thing I kind dislike. You can see it on the picture, you can feel it with your fingers, but actually you CAN’T see it in real life. The connection of both panels is not very smooth (shift of ~0.1mm). Hmm, should I replace my iPhone or just live with it?
