And they liked it! TouchArcade previews and reviews iPhone/iPod Touch games and is a great resource for any iPhone gamer. http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/47 You can now update your Sumo! application to 1.0.1 in the App Store. It sounds like Apple was working furiously last week to get through the backlog of applications to review. Thanks for your patience! And please, if you find any new bugs in this release, let us know. http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/45 It's been a week since we uploaded Sumo! 1.0.1 to Apple's servers, and so far all we've heard is that Sumo! 1.0.1 is "under review". As best we can determine, an actual Apple employee downloads and installs every app uploaded to the store; the "review" in question is a check ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/42 Sumo! for the iPhone is here! Well, technically, not here, but on the App Store. Sumo! is a game previously made for the web (at www.theblip.com, our previous company) and later re-made for Palm OS. We've gussied up the graphics and made ourselves a little iPhone game. Sadly, because it's ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/33 Just in case there were any questions, our most recent release of TubeSock work great with OS X 10.5 Leopard. The biggest issue we had was a GUI bug, where the preview display would not appear. This also happened to 10.4 users who ran the Safari 3 beta. We went ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/31 The Stinkbot LLC support staff doubled in size yesterday, with the addition of Ryan Collins. Ryan is a student at NCSU studying computer science. He also shares my interest in airplanes, although to his credit he's not nearly as gaga over the entire line of Cirrus products as I am. ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/26 Hey lardass! I see you're working out with your new iPhone! So, what'll you do if the old ticker kicks and you've only got three hand motions left before you black out? Not such a cool phone now, is it? Hmmm? Yeah, we thought of that. Here's a one-click dialer for ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/25 TubeSock 2.0.3 has gone final, with improvements to iPhone, iPod, and appleTV conversions. You can grab a copy at the usual place. However, we have gotten two reports of iPhone videos conversions showing up as all black (a bug we fixed in 2.0.3) for videos that we ourselves have successfully ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/24 We cranked out a bunch of action-items on TubeSock for Mac today. Here's the list of things we fixed: Improved compression profiles for iPhone, iPod, Mac, and AppleTV -- this solves the "this file can't be played on this iPhone" message that many users had been seeing Support for Unicode filenames with ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/23 Since our iPhone post below went live, several users sent us links for videos that weren't working with the iPhone. (I guess, in retrospect, our guesses weren't that great after all.) With an actual iPhone in hand we were able to fine-tune the conversion, and it appears that everything is ... http://www.stinkbot.com/blog/archives/21
