Bitcoin, for those unfamiliar, is a form of virtual currency which some out there hope will become a legal and widely accepted currency in the future. It may or may not be the currency of the future but as it stands, there is a lot of interest in it at the moment where prices of individual bitcoins have been valued over $1,000. That being said, it would seem that Apple is not a fan of the virtual currency, or at least that’s what they seem to be letting people believe. The Cupertino company has recently removed a bitcoin wallet called Blockchain from its App Store. (more…)

We’re sure there are times when you take the plane and you notice someone attractive, and you tell yourself, wouldn’t it be nice if I could just go up to him/her and just say hi? Unfortunately not everyone is socially adept at chatting up random strangers without coming across as creepy, which is why Buzzfeed copywriter, Gabe Whaley, created an app called Wingman, which has been likened as the Tinder for airlines. According to Whaley in an interview with ANIMAL, “I’m pretty sure that at some point, anyone who’s flown has had a thought like, ‘I wonder what it would be like to talk to that person. Too bad it’s never going to happen, because the seating arrangement didn’t provide for that.’”
Like we said the app will function like Tinder, which pulls profiles from people near you, or in this case people in the same flight as you. Of course chances of people using the app on the same flight as you might be pretty slim, but it could be a great way to pass the time. The app will rely on either WiFi or Bluetooth to work, and while Wingman has yet to be approved by Apple, those interested can hit up the Wingman website to get notified on its progress. In the meantime what do you guys think? Perhaps those long flights don’t have to be so lonely after all.

Final Fantasy VI Arrives On iOS
Posted in: Today's Chili
Earlier in January, it was announced that Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VI made its way onto Android devices. This was a little odd given that Square Enix’s releases tend to be for both iOS and Android, and sometimes iOS first followed by Android. Well for whatever reason the iOS version was not released alongside the Android version, but the good news for iOS gamers is that if Final Fantasy VI is a game you’ve been looking forward to, you can now play it on your device as Square Enix has officially released the game for iOS.

Google has laid down the law, it won’t tolerate Chromecast porn apps. A couple of days ago the company finally opened up Chromecast SDK to all developers, allowing them to write apps for its $35 dongle. Initially access to the SDK was only given to select partnets like Netflix and Hulu. The dongle instantly became popular after it was released late last year, and we’re bound to see the an influx of new apps, but nothing PG18 it seems.

Earlier we reported that the developers of the popular drawing app Paper, FiftyThree, wrote on their blog that they were disappointed that Facebook had decided to use the same name for its own social network app. Given that both apps are different in their functions, it would be hard to mistake one app for the other, but FiftyThree was not happy anyway. At that time it was unclear what FiftyThree would do about it, but according to the folks at TechCrunch, it looks like FiftyThree could soon to taking legal action as they have filed for a trademark for the app on the same day that Facebook’s Paper app was launched.
However even if FiftyThree filed for the trademark, it does not necessarily mean that they will win whatever lawsuit they might throw at Facebook. After all the “Paper” name is rather generic, not to mention both apps function very differently. If both apps were drawing/art apps then perhaps it might be a different story, but that is not the case here. It should also be noted that FiftyThree was not the first developer to call their app “Paper”. There is another app on the iTunes App Store by developer miSoft who claims to be the first app to have the “Paper” moniker, but due to glitches in the system, it allowed other developers to create similar sounding apps as well. Whatever the case is, we hope it all ends amicably.
