What Happened to iPhone App?

Posted by stevewoolf on 09/03/2008 at 02:07:42 am in Epic Fu

Hi Gordie -

Unfortunately the EPIC FU iPhone app starting having some problems pulling the RSS feed from Rev3. It was created by a 16 year old fan of ours in Illinois, which is very, very cool. And it was downloaded over 15,000 times according to Apple.

I think the guy who created it is relatively new to developing for the iPhone. By the time he got an update shipped off to Apple for approval, they decided to stop offering podcast apps for the iPhone. I think the ones that are up, like Diggnation's, will be grandfathered in, but they wouldn't accept the developer's update.

We'll ping Apple and see if we can get it going again. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Steve

Episode 124 - Alternative Search Engines [Discussion]

Posted by MediaMisfit on 08/22/2008 at 10:55:31 am in Epic Fu

Since there was no thread for this episode I thought I'd start one.

The search engines that were listed really weren't all that wowing. I think WebbAlert reported on Cuil a long time ago when it launch and I think it sucked then also.

One search engine I think would have been VERY GOOD to mention would have been VIEWZI (*link*

Chris Pirillo is the only other guy who has really mentioned it so far. *link*

Posted by bigshotprof on 09/03/2008 at 10:36:05 am in Epic Fu

Six things you need to know about sex in space:

Dalcon Shield bad . . . Heat Shield good!
The ball gag goes right below the nose cone.
The original source of the "Houston, we have a problem!" quote was Bobby Brown.
It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "rear docking procedure."
In space, no one can hear your safe word!
The most dangerous maneuver is re-entry.

Episode 121 - Crimanimalz, Robot Actors, Montauk Demon [Discussion]

Still love the show. I think it's much better than the older shows on Rev3.

Just wanted to promote my music.

Posted by williamk on 08/07/2008 at 03:04:17 pm in Epic Fu

Guys, sorry for the shameless promo. But I'm loving the show, and I wonder, if you could check out my music. Its not exactly what you guys normally show, but hey, can't hurt to try. ;-)

NBC does not have exclusive olympics rights

Posted by quantumfreak on 08/09/2008 at 10:44:07 pm in Epic Fu

"I live in the US, and despise the coverage you get.

I am an Aussie, and was back in Australia for the opening of the 2000 Olympics, but back in California before the closing, so got to see the Australian Olympic coverage AND the US Olympic coverage.

The difference? The Australian coverage showed all sports. Didn't matter if an australian was competing or not. The didn't show "athelete profiles" while the final race of an event no American was competing on was running.

The US might have raised the bar in terms of sports coverage, but the bias stinks. At least with NBC having multiple stations, we might get events on one station that aren't shown on another - even if it is SD vs HD.

Oh - and in case you didn't guess it, the world does in fact cease to exist if it is not in the continental US (no love for Alaska or Hawaii either), and unless world news coverage involves an American, or an American company/person overseas ... it wont get coverage. Thankfully we get the BBC World News Service to balance things out just a little."

To be fair, networks know that Americans don't give a shit about sports we're not playing in. The ratings prove it. The networks probably wouldn't have to focus on Americans if baseball wasn't nearing the playoffs and the NFL wasn't getting underway. For far too many, the Olympics is like political party conventions. It's just something else that screws with our favorite show's schedule every four years.
