The dude who wrote that game with the iPhone icon seems very upset. Says that the iPhone image is used to explain that the user must tilt the device in order to play the game, and so how can he show this visually without using an image of an iPhone. And he has a list of other apps already in the Store which use similar graphics. I reply with the exact same message as last week, word for word....

Apple, rejecting Eucalyptus was a mistake.
There’s nothing that I can say that hasn’t already been said, so let’s just leave at this: Apple, you fucked up.

Follow everyone tagged on WeFollow
WeFollow.com is cool. I added myself awhile back, then promptly forgot about it. While adding a bunch of people related to iPhone development earlier this evening, I remembered that it existed.
Headed back to it, looked around, realized I couldn’t do one basic thing: follow everyone under a tag.
Why? I have no idea. Oh well, here’s how to do it using Ruby and Hpricot:

Xcode plugins you'll thank me for later
GrowlCode — a plugin for Apple’s Xcode development environment. It provides notifications for all sorts of crap.
Completion Dictionary 4.1.1 — apparently it’s been around forever (4.1.1? that’s older than me!), but it’s a welcome refreshment and hopefully will save a few of us from catching swine flu (ed: carpal tunnel). Be sure to change the default key binding though,...

3.0 and the app store
Apple is requiring all applications from this point forward to be compatible with 3.0 in order to be reviewed. They’re also going to be going back and testing each application already in the store against 3.0.
I only wish at this point that they’d introduced additional backwards incompatibility, or perhaps even just a simple flag forcing each developer to rebuild and resubmit....
