Is there an app or easy way through the Setting section to block specific numbers from calling/texting you?

I don't know if any of you have seen this, but two weeks ago Capcom released Street Fighter II Collection on the App Store. It contains original Street Fighter II, as well as Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting and Street Fighter II: Championship Edition. For $4 you'd be stupid not to buy it.

Man did I ever pump a ton of quarters into SFII as a kid. I have been listening to the Ken theme on YouTube all weekend. Such great tunes.

Picked up "where's my water" yesterday in the app store. It's another physics based puzzle game where you have to direct water into a pipe so a crocodile can have a shower. For $1 it seems like a decent time killer.

Ken's theme's ok, but does it go with everything?

Interestingly enough, I spent half my weekend listening to 8-bit Mega Man themes on YouTube while I was working on my papers . . . My girlfriend wants to kill me repeatedly with a blunt object now.

This weekend I went back to the first app I bought for my iPhone, and found it is still as amazing as ever.

If you still don't have Plants vs Zombies you are missing out on the BEST app on the App Store.

Rumor has it that apps can be rented in the next iOS...could be a way for developers to get more $$$

Your co-workers are idiots.

Anyone try iMaschine? Obviously, this guy has a big musical back ground and lots of time to practice with the app, but still very cool!

Gameloft having a big sale today.

These games are $0.99 today (the HD versions are also $0.99)

Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus
9mm
Sacred Odyssey : Rise of Ayden
Eternal Legacy
The Settlers

Anyone played any of these? Eternal Legacy HD looks like it might be a decent FF7 clone?

Sleep Cycle is $0.99, and is an intriguing app. It monitors your sleep depth, and wakes you up within 30 minutes of your desired alarm time (never after..) when you are at your least deep level of sleep. You wake up without that horrible dead tired feeling that results from being woken from a deep sleep.

It's also useful to look at your sleep patterns and see if, overall, you are getting enough of the needed deep sleep.

Well worth $0.99, seems to do a good job of calibrating over the first few days to give you accurate info, and thus wake you up at an appropriate time.

I haven't used that app in a long time, and the jury was out when I did use it whether it actually worked or not. It is an interesting concept though. If it can actually figure out how deep you're sleeping, it would be worth it.

My issue with the app was always that I couldn't determine if I woke up feeling better because it was actually working or if I knew there wasn't a snooze button and I forced myself to get up during that pivotal "I could probably get up right now" zone.

Without additional work on your company's part, you are right. There are mobile management solutions though that give companies a fair degree of flexibility in creating policies to restrict and monitor the phone in various ways, but that software or MDM file would have to be deployed to your phone.

Also, if you're connecting to an Exchange based system, there are a limited number of policies, including remote wipe, that can be managed via Exchange, although no monitoring. Your company's IT department can do a few things like enforce a passcode, mandatory lock after X minutes, etc.

Short answer - don't worry

Yes. Gamecenter is the best legal option probably but it's spendy. Skyfire browser does an ok job of playing flash videos, if you had a site streaming games using flash...
