$.01 Cases, Legit or Phonies?

If you've ever been to Amazon.com and looked for some cheap cases, you've probably seen the cases that are $0.01 to 1.00. Most people are very skeptical when it comes to these types of cases because they might be rip-off scams that won't deliver what they promise in the description. So we decided to risk $0.01 for the case and $ 2.99 for shipping and handling to put this case to the test.

What we found was that these cases are pretty legitimate! The one's we ordered, were comparable to the durability of those cases made my Griffin and Speck which are usually at a much higher price of around $25.

I dropped the case a few times with an iPod touch 2nd Generation inside and I was surprised to find that the case broke open and absorbed the impact of the fall like it is supposed to. (Similar to how a motorcycle helmet with a crack in it is a good sign.)

My iPod has not since yet incurred any severe dents or dings, and it only cost me $3.00. I am very pleased with this case.

Adobe Flash to Come to iPhone

Today at Adobe's MAX 2009 conference in Los Angeles, Adobe unveiled that, from our knowledge, is unknown by Apple. Developers will now be able to create iPhone apps in Flash CS5 and export the app in .ipa file format. If you didn't already know, .ipa format this the file style that apps for the App Store are created in.

A member of the Adobe Flash team was quoted saying:
"We've done a lot of work to make sure that applications are quick and interactive, and give you the kind of experience that you would expect from Flash, as well as the kind of experience that you've come to expect on your iPhone.
The apps that are created in CS5 are 100% compliant with Apple's app store regulations. This means that it has now become much easier for anyone to create iPhone apps. For a few examples check out Chroma Circuit, and Fickleblox which are currently on the App Store and have been created using Adobe Flash CS5. This also means that it is possible that iPhone apps can be created on a machine running Windows OS.

Here is a video demonstrating CS5 Applications on iPhone.



Adobe Flash CS5 is not expected to be released until after the end of 2009.

Today Adobe also confirmed that a native flash player for the iPhone or iPod touch will not be coming out any time soon because of Apple's restrictions on apps that can be admitted into the App Store. Hopefully Apple will wise up and give an exception to Adobe.

iCensor App Review

Whether you’re after a little self-guided training for that dream job in network news or just have the urge to censor, iCensor from secretsquare is the app for you.Just import any screen shot, open one of the pages of classic censorship marks and get busy. Drop the mark on the photo, re-size and align it, tap the floppy disc icon (Has anyone actually used one of these in this century?) to save and that’s all there is to it.Your censored work is ready to show, post, or Email to your friends right from the app. iCensor comes with a full selection of marks for any censorship job, including redaction bars and blackouts, stamps, stars, skin blurs, a pixilated mosaic, the classic fig leaf, and Wendy O. Williams signature electrical tape in basic black and seductive red. Small versions of the bars and blackout are perfect for documents. The guys at Secretsquare sweated the details. Skin tones come in seven shades and check out the subtle texture and slight translucency of the electrical tape. Perfect for obscuring nipples! Who knew censorship could be this much fun?Working with iCensor is easy and intuitive, though like all skills, censorship takes a little practice. Import the photo with a few taps, pull up a page of graphics, tap one, and it slithers onto your photo ready to be sized and aligned. The marks are live until the completed work is saved. Pull them to expand and pinch to shrink. The width and length vary together, so document redaction is best done with multiple overlapping thin bars. With a little practice, these can be aligned perfectly to cover the text and the final result will be one long, smooth obfuscation.


iCensor is brilliantly designed and executed. It works exactly as advertised and it couldn’t be easier.The only flaw in the app is the size of the graphics once they appear on the photo.Even when shrunk to their limits, some of them (the fig leaf for example) are too big for iPod-sized shots. Download it today and use its powers for good or evil.
