iSupr8 and Digital-Age Nostalgia
What Instagram did with Polaroid aesthetics, iSupr8 wants to do with the mid-century home movie format. It’s an example of the peculiar flavor of Internet-era image nostalgia, expressed in app form. Video after the jump. Continue reading

App? There’s a Word for That
“App” isn’t just a shortened word and a new slang term; it’s a word for a shortened, slang application, says game designer and critic Ian Bogost. It’s breaking the dominance of applications suites of old—and perhaps shattering the aesthetics of computing along the way. Continue reading
MiBeerAge iPhone App Tells You Exactly How Old Your Beer Is
You might not have known this but to the beer connoisseur, the finest brews are best served within 30 days of their bottling. So those three year old bottles of Heineken collecting dust in your fridge garage? Yeah, slightly past their prime. But hey, at least the caps are still usable. The MiBeerAge iOS application tells you exactly how old your beer is, accurate to the day, based on the alphanumeric code printed on the can or bottle. You can... Continue reading
Plane Finder AR iPhone App Uses Augmented Reality to Track the Planes in the Sky
While developer pinkfroot limited has been using the transportation game as a means to an end for his application development for a while now, we’ve never seen a transportation app quite like this. Plane Finder AR utilizes GPS technology, real-time air traffic mapping and augmented reality to create a whole new transportation experience for those who still have their feet on the ground. Point your iPhone towards the heavens as a plane passes overhead and a box pops up with... Continue reading
Netflix Releases Official iPhone and iPod Touch Apps
Netflix promised their iPhone and iPod Touch apps would be released this summer, and here they are. Netflix officially launched their Netflix for iPhone and iPod Touch apps today into the App Store. Netflix subscribers can use this app to stream your Instant Watch movies and TV shows right from your devices. I checked out the iPhone version of the app by queueing up an episode of Law & Order: SVU and the quality was superb, even on the tiny... Continue reading
Listen to Howard Stern on the iPhone
For whatever reason, the official Sirius XM iPhone app doesn’t include Howard Stern’s satellite radio stations. For many subscribers who pay almost exclusively for Howard, this has been quite the annoyance. The free iPhone app Music Dock delivers all of the Sirius XM content, including Howard, Opie & Anthony and Oprah, to your iPhone. All you need is your Sirius or XM Premium log-in information. I’ve tested out the app and it works completely as advertised. Actually, there are a... Continue reading
Mobile Apps By The Numbers (With Infographic Goodness)
It’s no mystery that Apple’s App Store dominates the mobile app market they way things currently stand. The closest competitor is Google and they don’t even release their numbers. So it’s hard to really place a marker on the current gap between the big two. A quick glance at the infographic after the jump tells you a few things you might not have known about the mobile app world. It also provides a pretty good idea of why Apple leads... Continue reading
Burqa Babes iPhone App Leaves Pretty Much Everything to the Imagination
Call it culturally stifling. Call it disgustingly sexist and a shame on the feminist movement. Just don’t forget to call it sexy! Burqa Babes is on its way to an iPhone near you. With all of the fully-covered ladies you can handle, all for $1.99. Developer Elam Nikserof explains his case: “I want to stimulate the imagination first,” said Nikserof. “There’s absolutely nothing like Burqa Babes in the App Store. It allows users to ‘get jiggy with it’ without violating their... Continue reading
Rate My Puppy iPhone App Confirms That You’re The Only One Who Thinks Your Dog is Cute
I don’t know a single sane human being who doesn’t at least moderately swoon over pictures of adorable puppies. What’s not to love really? The Rate My Puppy iPhone app celebrates the adorableness of puppies by allowing users to rate the cuteness of each individual pup. Sure, you might not be winning any hot-or-not style competitions yourself, but that doesn’t mean your dog has to suffer. Link [via]
Playboy Launches Boobless iPhone App
Playboy without the titties is sort of like Gearfuse without the glaring grammatical errors and amateurish writing, it just doesn’t hold the same charm without it. Unless you’re one of those men who buy Playboy for the articles, the Playboy iPhone app will likely be nothing more than an aggravating tease. The closest thing you’ll get is some sexy non-nude shots and a few cropped pics. Link [via]
