Apple Looking to Ruin Everything

Apple Inc., the makers of some moderately successful phones, tablets, and music players, has had a rough couple of years when it comes to not being...well a little evil. Recently they tried to make jailbreaking your iDevice illegal (if you need a definition of jailbreaking, check this out), and the supreme court put them in their place. They have a awful reputation of kicking anyone out of the app store they don't like, and now this.

Apple now requires apps that require subscriptions (netflix, book apps, and newspapers), do it from within the app and give 30 precent of the subscription to apple. They also require that the price they charge in the app be the exact or higher price than outside the app for the same content.

The reason this sucks is because now app developers will lose 30 percent on any content they put up on their apps and will have to charge the same for it everywhere if they want their app to be approved. look for this to make cool apps less cool and current apps to take a look at whether they will continue to provide new content. Nice job apple. Way to cripple your own mobile platform apple.

This Video is Real

Thanks to the miracles of HDR recording--in which two camera record an over-exposed shot and an under-exposed shot simultaneously--we get this miracle of a video. Yes this is all real.



This is another HDR recording showing the real shots versus the double one. I seriously want a movie filmed in this camera style. Preferably a Natalie Portman movie.

The Report is Back!

The Bemorte Report is back on. And I promise the Jimmer coverage will be minimal.
