Playing Eliminate Pro can eliminate your money | The Download Blog

Popular iPhone gaming developer Ngmoco released Eliminate Pro yesterday, its much-anticipated, online, first-person shooter. This well-polished "free" game features smooth looking graphics, onscreen controls that are fairly effective (no match for a controller or keyboard/mouse setup, but that's to be expected), a number of power ups to improve your weapons and armor, and five playable maps. In-game kills and winning matches earn you credits you can use to buy new weapons and armor. There are eight armor types, five weapon types, and items to buy like armor designs (skins) to give you a new look. The best part is that you get to play an online FPS from wherever you are on 3G or Wi-Fi against your friends or against players from around the world. The game uses the Plus+ network, so you'll need to register your character before you start playing online. Sounds pretty great, right? Not so fast.

Adobe talks a little smack on iPhone's inability to play Flash | 9 to 5 Mac

If you try to go to a Flash site on your iPhone, you are often taken to Adobe's "Get Flash" page because the site thinks this is an option for you. It obviously isn't, of course. But for those who go to the "Get Flash" page on their iPhone, Adobe is adding some sass to their "iPhone doesn't support Flash" message.

This message has been around for awhile (as far as we remember) but it has only lately specified iPhone. Perhaps to differentiate between mobile Webkit browser that support Flash like Android and Blackberry will and those that don't.

iPhone Hints: Lock picture orientation in Photos - Macworld

Here’s a problem you’ve probably encountered while trying to show someone else a picture in the iPhone’s Photos app. As you pass the phone around, the accelerometer keeps flipping the image from portrait to landscape to upside-down landscape and back again. Annoying, right?

As it turns out, there’s an easy way to fix this (at least on iPhone 3.1.2, which I'm running): just tap and hold on the image for a second or two and the phone will lock it into position. This might cause a “Copy” bubble to pop up, but it will disappear after a moment, and the image will retained locked, no matter which way you flip the phone. To unlock it, just tap the image again and you’re done.

I only get to know this now after using the iPhone for two years now. You see, there was no app for that.

Android Army Pumped for All-Out Attack on iPhone | Gadget Lab

Soon, you’ll need more than two hands to count the number of Android phones on the market. At this rate, it seems inevitable that the number of phones running Google’s open source operating system will eventually outnumber the number of iPhones, which run Apple’s proprietary (and closed) operating system.
