Jobs Still Thinks There is No Porn on the iPhone
Ryan Tate, from Gawker, entered a somewhat extended email conversation with Steve Jobs early this morning. As impressive as it is that Jobs was responding to email at 2:00AM in the morning, the stunning thing is that Jobs still thinks there is no porn on the iPhone or the iPad. Has he never used Safari?

SimplifyMedia
We talked about SimplifyMedia as an alternative to iTunes in the cloud during yesterday’s podcast and Dave asked me to update the thread with information about the application.

AppTipp.com: Has Potential If It Catches On

Other users can then increase the “Tipps” count by clicking on the current Tipps count. Users can also discuss applications with comments. Pretty basic, but it’s not [...]
The Facebook Login Fiasco
I’ve been keeping up with the Facebook login fiasco that’s being discussed all over.
