Aurora Feint iPhone Game Is Back Sans Security Concerns

Posted by Jason Chen at 6:40 AM on July 26, 2008

Aurora Feint, the iPhone game that was de-listed because of security concerns, has made it back onto the App Store. So what did the developers do? They ripped out the contact list integration entirely, opting for a more Nintendo friend code-like system that they will introduce in the near future.

Aurora Feint iPhone App Delisted For Lousy Security Practices

Posted by Jason Chen at 11:22 AM on July 24, 2008

Remember that Aurora Feint Puzzle/RPG game that we told you we liked? Turns out we don't like it anymore. In fact, we're actually pretty damn scared of this app, seeing as Apple de-listed them from the App Store due to privacy and security issues.

BlackBerry 'Seawolf' 9110 Clamshell for AT&T and 'Aurora' Mystery Phone Surface

Still, looks like the Kickstart won't stay T-Mo exclusive for very long (if at all). Check out the revealing code over there: [BGR]

Alienware's Updated Aurora Gaming Desktop Starts at US$999

Posted by Sean Fallon at 10:30 AM on April 16, 2008

Naturally, tricking this thing out with all of the higher-end options is going to make the price ridiculous in a hurry, but a US$999 base is about as good as it will get for an Alienware.

Waci-Pad Gives You Total Entertainment Control in a Light Switch

Posted by Jason Chen at 10:40 AM on February 22, 2008

The Aurora Multimedia site says that their 6 or 12 button Waci-Pad is "ideal for wall or podium mounting," we know exactly where we're putting this—next to the our front door so we can switch on all our electronics when we enter the house (or off when we leave, but that never happens).
