The 404 662: Where dude, where's my remote fart app? (podcast)
The results of the study were shown to 35 women to determine the sexual attraction associated to eight specific body movements including the neck, trunk, left shoulder, left wrist, and the speed of movement in the right knee. They also generated two videos to illustrate good dancing and bad dancing.According to their findings, the good doctor believes that the majority of good dance qualities were influenced the most by various movements in the neck and trunk section of the male body. In other words: don't be a stiff dancer; fluid movements and confidence seem to be the No. 1 attraction according to Molly and Caroline, and as it turns out, Wilson and I obviously have a lot to learn!Finally, we turn our attention to the real stuff white people like, at least according to data aggregated from profile information on the popular online dating site OKCupid.com. We should note that this information is based on 526,000 randomly selected OkCupid users and absolutely does not reflect our personal opinions. That said, the study presents compelling information about both sexes and their respective ethnicities. For example, white women tend to lean toward escapist hobbies like bonfires, boating, horseback riding, and thunderstorms, despite living in largely metropolitan cities. In contrast, Asian men typically choose "simple" as an accurate self-description and specifically state their exact country of origin, as opposed to just writing "Asian." Not surprisingly, Asian men also list "software developer," "mechanical engineer," and "surfing the Net" as common hobbies. Guilty as charged, I suppose.Tune in to hear the rest of OkCupid's observations, with some of our own thrown in for good measure. And our apologies to everyone that got a "voice mail full" message yesterday--the line is cleared, so feel free to leave us a voice mail at 1-866-404-CNET (2638) for a chance to make it on our show!Episode 662Listen nowYour browser does not support the audio element.

NextGuide for iPad tries to bridge gap between live, streaming TV
NextGuide for iPad tries to bridge gap between live, streaming TV
Whether the Apple TV undergoes a full transformation into something representing the future of television, a number of apps are attempting to take us there today. Live TV and the increasing number of streaming-video apps on iOS present a seemingly unbridgeable gulf, but apps like Dijit's NextGuide are doing their best to synthesize the experience.Much like TV Guide's recently updated app, NextGuide is a mix of standard TV listings, social recommendations, and direct hooks to launch streaming-video apps with the content you're looking for. The layout and discovery of shows is based on tiles and genres, split into various categories. Once shows are found, watch alerts can be set to show new episodes. Much like apps such as Fanhattan, you can also look for particular shows and discover which particular streaming services may already have the show you're looking for.Browsing channels via NextGuide: A different, tile-based system.DijitDijit previously launched an app called Dijit Remote, a universal remote that works along with the Griffin Beacon IR-blasting accessory. NextGuide isn't so much a remote as a viewing accessory. The linked-to video services supported so far include Netflix, Hulu Plus, and iTunes (not streaming, but links to the available shows for purchase or rental). Hopefully more services will open up, such as HBO Go, and free services like Crackle. The challenge with video streaming via apps is the fractured landscape of the available content across those services, and keeping track of where episodes of a given season of "30 Rock" are can be enough to make you buy a DVD box set. If apps like NextGuide (and TV Guide and Fanhattan) can help, then I'm all for it. The question is, which service is better? That remains to be seen.NextGuide is free and currently available in the App Store. It certainly can't hurt to give it a try.

Disable iOS 8's 'Suggested Apps' feature
Disable iOS 8's 'Suggested Apps' feature
One of the creepiest parts of iOS 8 is its app suggestion feature. This new feature uses your current location to determine if there's a nearby venue or business who has an iOS app in the App Store. If it determines an app is likely relevant based on your current location, it will discreetly recommend the app to you on your lock screen.30 tips every new iOS 8 user should knowSee full gallery1 - 4 / 31NextPrevFor some, this new feature is going to be more of a nuisance than anything else. Naturally, Apple has provided a means to disable the feature that's otherwise on by default.The App Store icon on a lock screen indicates an app suggestion is available from the App Store.Screenshot by Jason Cipriani/CNETSimply go into the Settings app where you should find and select "iTunes & App Store" from the list of options.Scroll down to the bottom of the page where you'll find two switches; one allows for alerts from apps you currently have installed, the other for alerts from the App Store. Slide one or both switches to the off position based on your personal taste.Turning either on can lead to some pretty intrusive results. When you're near a Starbucks you'll notice a small Starbucks app icon in the lower-left corner of your lock screen. Tapping on the icon doesn't offer much, but touching and sliding it up (like the gesture used to launch the Camera on the lock screen) will either launch the app on your device, or take you to the App Store where you can download the app.While testing iOS 8, I've had random apps ranging from Frontier Airlines while at an airport, to King Soopers alert me when I was near one of its many locations in my area. In both instances, I had neither app installed, so instead of the app's icon on my lock screen, I found the generic App Store icon to be an indicator for launching the App Store.For more helpful iOS 8 tips, be sure to check out our complete guide to iOS 8.This content is rated TV-MA, and is for viewers 18 years or older.

Direct video download coming to Apple iPhone and iPod Touch-
Direct video download coming to Apple iPhone and iPod Touch?
According to the report, the ad supposedly led to a place that pointed to some movie and TV show listings. The listings were broken down by genre, and although titles were listed, none would work when accessed. Movies by genreOpen Salon | TV Shows by genreOpen SalonThe Wrestler movie downloadingOpen Salon | The Wrestler - download failsOpen SalonThis story took an interesting turn last Friday when AppleInsider reported via its post, "Apple briefs staff on wireless iPhone movie and TV downloads," that the ability to download video-based media directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch via Wi-Fi and 3G might really be coming. Their story adds some weight to the Open Salon rumor by stating:AppleInsider has learned from people familiar with Apple's training program that new self-guided training materials being distributed to familiarize AppleCare agents with the features of iPhone 3.0 software "definitely covered" the ability to directly download movies and TV shows on the device itself, rather than just syncing video content through iTunes.Considering all this information--and that AT&T says it has been working diligently to deliver a better and faster performing 3G network--it does seem feasible that Apple and AT&T may have worked out issues surrounding direct video downloads, just as they did previously with music downloads.Still, the rumors don't quite square with AT&T's refusal to allow SlingPlayer to work on its 3G network, supposedly because of the bandwidth the player would require.What do you think? Would you be interested in being able to directly download TV or movies to your iPhone or iPod Touch? If Apple and AT&T allow direct downloads, should AT&T's SlingPlayer policy change?Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Production said to begin soon on both iPhone 6 models
Production said to begin soon on both iPhone 6 models
Large-scale production of both next-generation iPhone models is imminent, according to reports from Asia. Taiwan-based Hon Hai Precision, aka Foxconn, will begin production of the 4.7-inch version of the rumored iPhone 6 next week, while the 5.5-inch model should see production kick off during the second week of August, Reuters reported, citing local Chinese media. A separate report from a China state-run news service said Hon Hai is slated to hire 100,000 workers at its "mainland facilities" to make the phone, according to Reuters.Pegatron, another Taiwan-based contract manufacturer, has begun to recruit "over 10,000 workers," according to the above Taiwan-based report.Related storiesCNET's iPhone 6 rumor roundupIf the reports are accurate, the production schedule would fit a rumored September launch of the new Apple phone. The report, however, doesn't address a series of rumors about production problems with the larger, phablet-class 5.5-inch model.Reports earlier in the week said the 5.5-incher would be delayed. In that report, respected KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 may not launch by the end of 2014, or may launch after October in very limited quantities. Both models are expected to be extremely thin, by iPhone standards, rivaling the thinness of the iPod Touch. This has led to sticky production issues for both models but especially for the 5.5-inch device, according to Kuo. Other rumored new features for the iPhone 6 include an improved camera and larger-capacity flash storage.iPod Touch: the iPhone 6 is expected to boast a thickness similar to the ultrathin iPod Touch.Apple

Pro, con iPad opinions run the gamut
Pro, con iPad opinions run the gamut
Comments were varied, running the gamut from readers who thought the device was redundant and/or impractical to those who thought it to be a worthy purchase. Here's a sampling, pro and con: Hard to justify:"I love Apple products....However I can't justify purchasing this device...A novelty product." Steamroller: "Apple haters, technical scowlers, squinters, and grouches--eat your hearts out because the IPad is going to take over the world."Productivity versus consumption:"My home computer will suffice for the number crunching, code compiling and media encoding needs. The iPad will be my encyclopedia, mailbox, newspaper, library, music jukebox, video player for the home and on the go."Regression: "People are paying for something that does less than what we've been doing before...Because we want to be able to do two things at once (multitasking)...that makes us nerds?" Better than a Kindle: "Much as I hate to admit it, I'm likely to be an early adopter as soon as the 3G arrives...I have to read & review a lot of academic papers on the go. Not a great use for a laptop, iPhone is too small, notetaking on the Kindle (and PDF handling) way too limited."Useless: "The more i read about the iPad, the more it angers me...its SO useless. a 500 dollar + device, for really really bad reasons. High end netbooks, that can do multitudes more, are cheaper.I can't wait till more people realize how bad this device is, and it plummets." Apple allure: "One glaringly obvious reason is missing from this list. 'Because it's from apple.' Like apple, hate it, or anything in between, you still have to recognize...brand loyalists who would buy any product Steve Jobs waved in front of their faces because it was the latest greatest thing."

Privacy dilemma for developers- Apple to the rescue-
Privacy dilemma for developers: Apple to the rescue?
Livingston said it took Kik "just a few days" to modify the app to be more transparent. Not only did new alerts tell users that their address book would be uploaded, but a secondary confirmation, if you opted out, reminded them that the whole point of the app was to make connections. "Are you sure?" the pop-up asks. "You will have to add each of your friends manually."Other companies use hashing or encryption to protect address book privacy. Localmind CEO Lenny Rachitsky,for example (see Localmind gooses location-advice service) told me that "We hashed all address book data and sent it over SSL." So not only were users' address books not human-readable on the Localmind servers, but the transmission of the data was encrypted on the way there. You are not your userThe challenge for developers is to recognize that data that one person doesn't care about may be of life-or-death import to another. That's why being deliberate when it comes to data practices is a good idea. But deliberation slows you down.And that's why the platform companies, like Apple, Google, and Facebook, have to moderate developers eager to have their app suck up data first, and ask questions later. This has already happened with location data to a much greater extent than it does with address data. And Google, at least, does block Android apps from accessing address books without user permission. Facebook provides social matching as a service to developers who use that social network--so Facebook-reliant apps don't actually get the address books.Apple has been behind in this. It relied on policy to protect address books. That policy, clearly, has failed. And it failed a long time ago.

Possible iPad 3 glitch- Hi-res apps may hit 3G download limits
Possible iPad 3 glitch: Hi-res apps may hit 3G download limits
The high-resolution "retina display" expected on the next iPad should make users happy--but may present challenges for developers.As detailed today by The Next Web, the higher resolution display will increase the pixel count and size of graphics used in iPad apps designed for the new screen.With some apps doubling in size, developers may bump into an Apple-imposed limitation that prevents the download of apps larger than 20 megabytes over 3G. Downloading over a Wi-Fi connection would still be an option, but users who need an app with no Wi-Fi available would be out of luck.The restriction would pose more of a problem for apps that include both iPhone and iPad versions, since iPhone users are more likely to download an app on the go. Apps with a dedicated iPhone version obviously wouldn't be affected. And apps geared just for the iPad would be safe, at least among tablet users who have only Wi-Fi.Sales could go down for many app developers if all iPad users were restricted to downloading their programs via Wi-Fi, TNW noted.Related storiesWhy the iPad 3 could be in short supplyApple iPad 3: What to expectiPad 3 rumor roundupIf a high-resolution iPad does debut next week, Apple has the option to bump up the 3G download limit.But data cited by TNW noted that the limit would need to be upped by around 273 percent, putting it close to 60 MB.A 2,048-by-1,536-pixel Retina Display has long been a rumored feature for the next iPad. And the tablet's potential name may be a further clue. Part listings leaked by case makers revealed that the next iPad could actually be dubbed the iPad HD, according to Gizmodo.Apple did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment. But we should know more at Apple's press event on March 7.
