Even in the media, children’s books, and other sources, a generic racer is generally depicted as some variation of an F1 body-wise. As many racing enthusiast know, F1 racing digs so much deeper into the car and driver alike; F1 2011 by Codemasters aims to recreate this experience on the iOS platform. Even though it has a few problems here and there, the game still does have some good features that make it a well-played-out sim.  Read on for the full review:  F1 currently holds 2 modes of gameplay, time trial and grand prix, with the addition of the upcoming season mode: With a wide variety of cars and tracks, F1 offers racers the most versatile, simulation racing available to an iOS device. With a good set of real tracks and cars, it allows you to follow the full racing week, from the first practice all the way up to the entire race, of any given F1 driver. Rules and restrictions are still enforced, so illegally blocking a driver or cutting a corner will hurt you. One major downside of the game is the lack of customizability of the cars’ settings along with the poor collision detection. Both of which can really cripple this game somewhat. Although there are multiple ways to control your vehicle along with many driver aids, the controls are something that really destroys this game. Sensitivity of the steering is really tough to get down, even after hours of practice; I still find it either too sensitive for this corner and not sensitive enough for another. F1 2011 offers clear and distinct graphics that lie somewhere between those of NFS and RR2. The graphics have amazing clarity and do pay good attention to detail. The colors are vivid and bright which add to the driving experience. The high framerates are a nice touch; however, it seems that the developers cut corners to get there. Cars lack the glossy finish and all really just have a matte appearance when they, in reality, don’t. Another main problem is the field’s depth that is visible. Everything that is close to you is 100% clear while things in the distance just pop into place when near. This can be the difference between getting a turn right or flipping your Read More

by Sebastian Anthony on January 19, 2011 at 06:20 AM FILED UNDER: web, ipad, Porn lord Hugh Hefner has just announced, via Twitter, that the recently-digitized entire Playboy catalog will be coming to the iPad. Interestingly, though, he also says that Playboy content will be coming to the iPad, which suggests it will utilize iOS's upcoming subscription support. If all that wasn't cool enough, and further confusing Apple's stance on adult content, Hugh also confirmed that his entire opus of porn will be uncensored. Historically, Apple has been incredibly tight when it comes to nudity and sexuality -- but, rather incongruously, the Playboy and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit apps have always remained unscathed. Neither of those apps have full frontal nudity, though, so an uncensored Playboy for iPad app could be a sign that Apple's puritanical policing is being relaxed. Read More

Posted 02/23/2010 at 5:43am | by J.R. Bookwalter After purging over 5,000 “overtly sexual” apps from the App Store over the last few days, Apple’s head of worldwide product marketing has come forward yet again to defend the company’s decision. has a detailed report on the latest App Store scandal, which began somewhat quietly last Wednesday with the removal of a seemingly innocent app called Wobble iBoobs and quickly escalated over the weekend with the removal of over 5,000 apps which Apple deemed too sexy for their store. In an interview with Phil Schiller, Apple’s head of worldwide product marketing, the executive noted that over the last few weeks a “small number of developers” had been submitting “an increasing number of apps containing very objectionable content.” “It came to the point where we were getting customer complaints from women who found the content getting too degrading and objectionable, as well as parents who were upset with what their kids were able to see,” Schiller explained. Of course, since the App Store doesn’t allow nudity to begin with, Schiller’s comments might echo last summer’s Google Voice controversy, which saw the denial of Google’s own app as well as the withdrawal of a trio of third-party apps -- an injustice that, months later, still has yet to be turned around. In the case of the current controversy, while sexy apps from smaller companies such as Sexy Scratch Off -- which shows a woman whose dress can be removed at the swipe of a finger -- have been removed, others from big-time publishers such as Playboy and Sports Illustrated remain in the store. “The difference is this is a well-known company with previously published material available broadly in a well-accepted format,” Schiller said in defense of that decision. “At the end of the day, Apple has a brand to maintain,” Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster told the Times. “And the bottom line is they want that image to be squeaky clean.” Fred Clarke, co-president of Sexy Scratch Off creator On the Go Girls, went from 50 successful apps over the weekend to zero on Monday. “I’m shocked,” said Clarke. “We’re showing stuff that’s racier than the Disney Channel, but not by much,” noting that his company had been earning thousands of dollars a day from the App Store with no complaints since the apps went live last June. “It’s very hard to go from Read More

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Feb 23, 2010 | Apple Senior VP of Marketing, Phil Schiller, was quoted by the New York Times in an article on the removal of 5000 sex-based app from the iTunes App Store: “It came to the point where we were getting customer complaints from women who found the content getting too degrading and objectionable, as well as parents who were upset with what their kids were able to see.” To developers who weren’t afforded any warning or options to pre-emptively make changes where such changes would have been possible: “We obviously care about developers, but in the end have to put the needs of the kids and parents first.” As to why Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit app, the Playboy app, and a few other publication-associated apps were allowed to remain: “The difference is this is a well-known company with previously published material available broadly in a well-accepted format.” Key take aways: Stick to safe, friendly games and helpful utilities and you should be find. Push any boundaries corporate or familial and you could be gone. Which is kind of sad, because Apple seems like the one company who could champion as much creativity, innovation, and boundary-pushing in the App Store as they do in their technology. Read More

Late last week, Apple notified developer Chillifresh that its Wobble iBoobs application was being removed from the App Store due to its "overtly sexual" nature. Since then, it appears that Apple has gone on a rampage of sex-oriented app removals. Chillifresh claimed in a Saturday post that a discussion with Apple revealed that more than 5,000 apps have been affected by its new App Store content policy. Apple said the change was triggered by numerous customer complaints, according to Chillifresh. "Whenever we receive customer complaints about objectionable content, we review them," Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller later told CNET. "If we find these apps contain inappropriate material, we remove them and request the developer make any necessary changes in order to be distributed by Apple." Data from iPhone app-tracking Web site AppShopper supports the claim. AppShopper sister site MacRumors on Sunday reported that app removals went from about 100 a day to a high of almost 4,000 on Friday. Chillifresh said on its Web site that an Apple representative told the developer that under its new App Store policy, it will not accept applications that in any way imply sexual content or include the following: Interestingly, some apps that include sexual content, such as Playboy's, seem to have been missed by the recent purge--so far, at least. Doing a search for "girls" on the App Store will bring up a variety of apps with bikini-clad women and others that appear to break the new rules Chillifresh said Apple outlined. Of course, if Apple keeps on purging the way it has over the last few days, they could be gone soon enough. Update, 1:45 p.m. PST: Comment from Apple added. Read More

One of the new rules is no more bikini apps, unless you happen to be Sports Illustrated (or FHM or Playboy). Sports Illustrated, for instance, just released its 2010 Swimsuit app on iTunes on February 9, before the ban really started. The SI Swimsuit app is filled with pictures of bikini-clad models. If you fire up iTunes right now, you will see the SI Swimsuit app being promoted on the main App Store homepage. It is currently the No. 1 Sports app, the No. 13 free app, and the No. 35 Top Grossing app (you have to pay $1.99 to unlock all the free photos and videos). FHM’s $1.99 app is also filled with bikini and panty pics via its “Girl of the Week” and “Non-Stop Honeys” features. It also offers videos with titles such as “Young and Hardly Innocent” and “Lucy in Naughty Nighties.” The Playboy app is similarly salacious. Yet other non-name-brand bikini apps such as Bikini Blast are nowhere to be found on iTunes anymore. So the rule seems to be: No sexy apps, unless you are magazine that can’t make money any other way. I can’t wait to see the SI Swimsuit app on the iPad. Maybe they will develop new touch gestures for the bigger screen.

Posted 02/22/2010 at 7:06am | by J.R. Bookwalter In a followup to last week’s report on Apple removing Wobble iBoobs from the App Store, it now appears that more than 5,000 such "overtly sexual" apps have been removed since mid-last week -- and the number keeps climbing. MacRumors is reporting on the App Store removals, complete with the graph featured above from sister website AppShopper.com showing the severity of Apple’s recent actions. According to the app price-tracking site, on a typical day there might be around 100 apps removed from the U.S. App Store on a given day, but that number shot up to 932 last Wednesday, February 17th and peaked at nearly 4,000 removals last Thursday, February 18th. The removals continued over the weekend and MacRumors is now reporting that the number exceeds 5,000 total apps, according to ChilliFresh. That number amounts to nearly three percent of the total apps in the App Store, removed in just days. While Apple appears to be hell-bent on removing what they consider to be “overtly sexual” apps -- which includes novelty apps as well as adult-themed slideshow apps -- there have also been a number of games removed, including Daisy Mae’s Alien Buffet. However, the change in policy appears to stop short of removing established brands from the App Store: Playboy magazine’s 99-cent app remains live in the store at this writing, complete with “overtly sexual” intact. A $1.99 Penthouse app called Your Face on PENTHOUSE is also still available. If you’re not a fan of “overtly sexual” apps to begin with, you’ll be pleased to know that one developer alone contributed nearly 500 different variants of their bikini photobooks to the App Store, all of which have now been removed. Now that’s some housecleaning we can all be happy about... Tags: Read More

Jon Atherton at Chillifresh, the app developer of Wobble, has posted what he says are Apple's new rules regarding sexual content in an iPhone app: I have spoken with Apple, and the following are the new rules: I've said this before, but I am glad that Apple has made these changes (pulling stupid "sexy" apps). I'm sick of seeing a "Hot Asians" app show up in every category (from Entertainment to Productivity to Utilities). The "sexy" apps were getting out of control, and they started to show up so much it was making it even harder to find good apps in the App Store. There's a good chance that this is the reason Apple has decided to pull those apps and not, as Atherton insinuates, that Apple has imposed some sort of Sharia law on the App Store – which is pretty insulting to Islam's 1.3 billion members. The fact that Playboy is still available while thousands of junk "sexy" apps have been purged should be evidence enough that Apple is going after these cheap clutter apps and hasn't actually launched a war on sexuality. Is Apple handling this in the best way? Perhaps not. I think Apple could create a new category of "sexy" apps that could be disabled in iTunes' preferences (or, even better, require an opt-in from users before they're visible). Apple's not the only vendor that chooses to exclude some content in its store. Best Buy, for example, doesn't allow hardcore porn to be sold in its stores. That's not censorship -- there are plenty of other places customers can go to get what they're looking for other than Best Buy. The problem with this analogy, of course, is that for most iPhone owners, there's only one App Store, and no place else to go for adult-themed apps. Read More

(Pun alert!) It’s been a long time coming, but Playboy and Apple have laid down the latex armour and rubber weapons in the release of an official 17+ Playboy app. For fans of the magazine, there is a lot of digital content to love, but iDevice Playboy isn’t quite as much of a so-called “hands-on” experience as its print version. Apple don’t allow nudity – though there are official ways to get it – so Hef’s software is rather an advert for the risque publication. And, in the spirit of subscript, Playboy comes at 1.99$, featuring November and December; but subsequent months require a payment of 1.99$ per. The price may be worth it however, as users get a grab at advice from their favourite celebs and bunnies covering anything from cars to stereos and sex advice.
