Jewish Humor Website Jewlarious.com Releases Video Spoof on the New Apple iPhone — the jPhone

Jerusalem, Israel (PRWEB) June 27, 2007

Aish.com (http://www.aish.com), the leading Judaism website, and Jewlarious.com, the leading Jewish humor website, have released a video spoof of the new Apple iPhone called “jPhone.” (http://www.aish.com/movies/jphone.asp). The jPhone nags, it nudges, it kvetches and it kibbitzes. It tells you to give charity and go to synagogue. And it always reminds people to call their mothers. Always.

While the iPhone plays song favorites from groups like U2, the Dave Mathews Band and Coldplay, the only thing that the jPhone plays is Matisyahu.

Second only to the U.S., the State of Israel has become the top destination for high tech start-ups and technological innovation. But as of yet, they have not put their collective minds together to innovate a technological breakthrough with a uniquely, well, Jewish twist. Until now that is.

jPhone stars Yisrael Campbell and Ethan Chernofsky, was written by Richard Rabkin and directed by Micah Smith.

Nechemia Coopersmith, Editor-in-Chief of Aish.com thinks the jPhone video will be very well received. “Apple’s iPhone is obviously going to be huge. When I saw the Mac/PC commercials, I wondered what it would be like to fuse the personality of an 80-year-old Jewish grandfather into a high tech device.”

Coopersmith says: “So I assembled the Aish.com team and we started brainstorming: What would a Jewish phone look like? How would it talk? How would it act? The answer is the jPhone.”

Aish.com is the largest Judaism website with 3 million monthly visits and 260,000 unique email subscribers. Aish.com features content on spirituality, dating, parenting, Israel and the Holocaust, plus a live webcam from the Western Wall, cutting-edge blogs, and innovative short films.

Jewlarious.com is a weekly web magazine featuring videos of Jewish comedians, a database of Jewish jokes, and original short films.

The websites are both divisions Aish HaTorah, a network of Jewish educational centers in 35 branches on five continents, headquartered in Jerusalem near the Western Wall.

LivingArcana.com Announces Open-Source 3D Game Engine for Apple iPhone

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) November 14, 2007

Gregory Ray, a lead organizer of LivingArcana.com announced today that he has hired the Brazilian programmer, Gutemberg Ribeiro, of “Conceptus” an open source game engine, to port his engine over to Apple’s iPhone platform. The port of the game engine will remain open source and will be available under LGPL license to allow true 3D game development on the iPhone.

When asked why Gregory would make this available for free and pay for it out of his pocket he was quoted “I am trying to stay true to the LivingArcana.com ideal of having a free community ran online game. The 3D engine is vital to the project but it is also only a very small part of a very large project and once we integrate it into the LivingArcana.com project I have no other plans of using it for other projects. Why would I want hundreds of hours to goto waste?” The first public release of Conceptus for the iPhone is scheduled for early 2008.

The Conceptus game engine which already runs on the Windows, Mac, Symbian and even the Nintendo DS platforms will bring ParticleFX, BSP, Octree, PagingLandscape, Zip Compression, GlGenerator, GlPostProcessor, OpenAL, and an Extension Loader to the new iPhone. This benefits of these is that it will enable game developers to focus on writing game code and will leave the low level hardware code to the Conceptus engine.

It should also be mentioned that this project is being done without the support of Apple. Apple has said they will be offering official 3rd party support for native applications February 2008, however, the developers behind LivingArcana.com have been developing for the iPhone platform using a community released SDK for the iPhone. Gutemberg was quoted “We will need to update our engine to run off the the official Apple SDK when made available. Until then we will continue to use the community based SDK and just cross our fingers that Apple will appreciate what we are doing for their mobile platform.”
