Saurik live chat: Learn about Apple’s new signature server

September 25, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Something new, unexpected, and possibly worrying has popped up in iTunes. iTunes now “calls home” to the Apple mothership whenever you restore an iPhone or iPod touch. It tells you that it’s “Verifying restore with Apple…”, checking your device identifier and the firmware with Apple’s new signature server.

Today, TUAW has the pleasure of talking with Jay Freeman, otherwise known as “Saurik”, the developer of Cydia. Saurik has constructed a server that duplicates Apple’s functionality, ensuring that you’ll be able to downgrade your iPhone or iPod in the future, even if you have not jailbroken your device. This topic is for all iPhone users, regardless of whether they use jailbreaking. Please join us with your questions and comments as we hear from Freeman about why this move matters to you.

Apple confirms it banned iPhone porn app

September 24, 2009 :: Posted by - Thomas :: Category - News

Porn App

And here comes the ban of the apparently very popular iPhone porn app, while not too unexpected, the reason behind it took a while to completely come out.

Thursday saw the first softcore porn app arrive for the iPhone, only to disappear hours later. Many, including myself, thought Apple had approved and then banned the app, but a note on the developer’s Web site indicated that he asked for the app to be removed.

The developer’s note read:

“The Hottest Girls app is temporarily sold out. The server usage is extremely high because of the popularity of this app. Thus, by not distributing the app, we can prevent our servers from crashing. Customer satisfaction is more important to us than profits. Those who already have the app will still be able to use our app. To answer the question on everyone’s mind: Yes, the topless images will still be there when it is sold again.”
