If Steve Jobs has one unfulfilled dream left , that would be to give this world the ultimate puritan gift: “freedom from porn” . He fought long and hard against the web standard for video and a common video format and he practically destroyed it. But it seems that the web gods must be some crazy hairy palmed folks, because they are not smiling down on his royal Steve-ness.

Today, YouPorn ( 18+ ) announced that they are busy encoding their entire video library into HTML5 format, and therefore it will be available on any iDevice in this world.  It will be just a matter of time until the rest of the adult industry will embrace HTML5 too, and then what Steve?

Freedom from porn? More like the beginning of an annual jerk-fest…

A few days ago, Wi-Fi Sync for our iDevices was made available and life has been pretty sweet ever since.  As you might know, the wireless syncing capabilities comes as a combo: iDevice app and Mac client ( Windows coming soon ) . The problem is that, the Mac client will cause iTunes to go about 80% ( during a restore ) and then just hang.

There is an easy fix for this. Remove the Mac client, restore your iDevice and then re-install the client. Or you can do everything via Xcode, and you won’t have to remove the client…

The same Vietnam site that leaked the iPhone 4G prototype and the new MacBook has just leaked an iPod touch with a 2MP camera.

The Foxconn manufactured device has a DVT-1 (Design Verification Test) stamp on the back and is running a diagnostic utility.

According to the label it contains 2 Samsung 32GB Flash modules giving it 64GB in total storage; as well as, a 2MP, backside illuminated sensor manufactured by Omnivision (OV2665-6s).

Engadget notes that a check of the device’s serial number identifies it as a late 2009 third generation iPod touch.

A new configuration page for AT&T Internet Tethering has been spotted in the latest iPhone OS 4.0 beta, according to MacRumors.

The page alerts AT&T customers that in order to set up internet tethering, you need to contact AT&T at 611 or visit AT&T’s website. The new message seems to indicate that AT&T may finally be ready to deliver tethering to U.S. customers.

This could be great news for US customers who have been waiting for tethering capabilities since Apple announced the feature last year.

First revealed last year following the release of Apple’s fifth-generation iPod nano, the Nike + iPod Compatible Heart Rate Monitor is finally set for a U.S. release of June 1.

The news comes from a “Nike+ Pro” on the shoemaker’s official forums. While the person did not reveal why the hardware has taken so long to arrive, they did announce the U.S. release, which will be followed by other international releases this summer.

“It will officially launch (in the U.S.) on June 1, 2010, although it may reach some retail outlets slightly sooner,” the Nike official, named Clover, wrote. “It will reach Canadian markets in June and will launch internationally in summer 2010, exact date to be determined.” Read more…

As loyal readers know, Apple stores are not particularly cash-friendly; in the case of the iPhone and the iPad, they’re downright cash-hostile. Both devices require a credit or debit card for purchase, although you can waltz down the block and buy an iPad with cash at Best Buy if you like (and you can use a gift card for iPhone, but not for iPad).

There are some points on Apple’s side for the pay-with-plastic requirement (the primary one being that it’s hard to enforce the two-per-person purchase limit without some way to track buyers), but it’s clear that the rule is a source of annoyance to some potential customers. Now the annoyance is getting magnified. Read more…
