Weird + Small Apps 23: Rise & Shine, Yubisashi, Got2Go, MiValue + More
Welcome to Weird + Small Apps, iLounge's weekly look at recently released mini-applications and mini-games in the App Store. This week's edition is decidedly more "app-" and "small-" heavy than recent columns, due to developer submissions of quite a few small programs, and relatively few mini-games that we felt were worthy of coverage. And there's only a little weirdness to be found here this week.
Our top apps of the week are three Yubisashi-series foreign language tools and the Kensington clock application Rise & Shine. Following initial publication, we added another game—TightWire—as well. Read on for all the details.
It's hard to argue with a good, free app, and strictly speaking, that's what Rise & Shine (Free) from Kensington is. Previously discussed in a Backstage article, Rise & Shine is technically the software half of a combined hardware and software offering from Kensington called the Nightstand Charging Dock for iPhone, which sells for $40. Together, the app and charger turn your iPhone or iPod touch into one of three types of desktop clocks, complete with a simple weather bar that can be touched to bring up a five-day forecast, all remaining on the undimmed screen for as long as you want to keep the app running.
Without the charger connected, the app and screen will slowly leech down the iPhone or iPod's power, just like any other clock app for these devices. While Kensington's design isn't breakthrough in any way, it is undeniably attractive, making good use of the display in either wide or tall orientation, and apart from their omission of alarms, the three clocks are all nice, particularly their ability to auto-dim the screen with a swipe, which would be even better if given more graduated brightness settings. Due to App Store rules, Rise & Shine is available for free, and if nothing else, it's a nice promotional tool for the charger. iLounge Rating: B.
Though we wouldn't use it ourselves, we really like the concept behind Got2Go ($2) from Grind Vision. The premise: you're sometimes in a social situation that you don't want to be in, and really need an excuse to get out. Your iPhone becomes the excuse. Got2Go mimics text message, calendar, or missed call notifications, faking the look of the Home screen and then popping up a clickable box that takes you to a similarly fake SMS, calendar, or Visual Voicemail screen with a message that varies based on your preference from trivial to catastrophic in seriousness. There are even fake voicemail messages, including one from "Dad" that tells you that you need to join him at the hospital because someone's been hit by a car. While the premise here is a solid one, the various screens are all obviously fakes upon close inspection, starting with the unnecessary presence of a faked "TDC" carrier name, and between the all-black home screen and lack of other customizations, the app is only going to fool someone who neither knows you nor the iPhone interface very well—assuming they even see the screen. Additional polish cold make this a much better little application. iLounge Rating: B-.
At some point, probably right around the time the third or fifth fart application was approved for sale, the App Store began to resemble a Spencer's Gifts novelty shop, and small developers realized that there were dollars to be made on selling gag and trinket-class apps. In the same general category as Magic 8-Balls is Front Pocket Media's new Ask Happy Buddha ($1), a cartoony picture of a golden-skinned Buddha who laughs and vibrates when his belly is rubbed, then gets asked a question, shaken with the accelerometer, and produces a useless response. "Should our friend move to Buffalo," we asked the Buddha. "Yes!," he proclaimed, "Like the type you yell only during those special moments." Wow. Save your money. iLounge Rating: D.
We love receiving e-mails from developers in Japan, not just because of their obvious enthusiasm for their applications, but also because the pitches behind their apps can be intentionally or inadvertently comical. "DeliCam processes the photograph delicious!," said this morning's e-mail from Kei Kusakari, "It makes the photograph of your lunch happy." Given that we also write about food for Buffalo Chow, we were more than willing to give this $1 app a spin, regardless of what exactly it was supposed to do.
As it turns out, DeliCam doesn't do much. It takes the photograph you've snapped or selected from within the application, enhances its saturation and contrast, and then outputs the result as either an 800x600 or lower-resolution file to e-mail—surprisingly, via the company's own server—or Twitter's TwitPic. The good news is that the results of its processing tend to look a little bit better than they started, because the iPhone's camera—even the iPhone 3GS's camera—doesn't completely optimize its color output, and DeliCam's small tweaks do help a little. But it doesn't make a huge difference. Is it worth a dollar? Only if you're really in need of sharing modestly better food images with your friends, and not in need of having images snapped by the application saved at higher than 800-pixel resolution. iLounge Rating: B-.
For many people, the concept of Against The Grain Development's app MiValue ($1) won't make a lot of sense, but for those who believe both that time has a monetary value and that purchases should be measured against the amount of work they require, there may be some value here. MiValue tells you to enter either your annual income and work hours per week, or your hourly wage, and then calculates the amount of time you'd have to spend working to pay for purchases at any given price you enter. Thus, if you're working 40 hours a week for $30,000, your hourly rate is $14.42, and roughly 7 hours of labor will buy a $100 item. The app isn't impressive visually, and doesn't do any more than what's described here, but for those who live their lives on billable hour schedules, it can be a handy tool to figure out how much extra work will justify a purchase. Some may feel that's worth the $1 price. iLounge Rating: B-.
Though the next three apps here aren't really small or inexpensive, we wanted to let readers know about them anyway: Yubisashi China, Yubisashi Japan, and Yubisashi Spain ($10 each) from Phonex Communications are basically language assistance tools that will be useful to English-speakers as they travel outside of the United States. Each version contains 4,300 or more words and phrases that can be easily searched, and displayed to native Chinese, Japanese, or Spanish speakers when you need assistance; roughly 3,000 of the words and phrases are accompanied by spoken voice versions that can be clicked on to say something to a person rather than displaying the screen. The interface is bright, occasionally populated with little bits of cartoony artwork, and culture-specific, with sections dealing with the specific geographic and culinary options of each country, as well as common issues—life, shopping, emergencies, and transportation—the confront all travelers. Everything has been sorted into smart categories, and rendered searchable by keywords as well. These are nice apps, and easy to use; their content and pleasant design makes them worthy of $10 asking prices. iLounge Rating: B+.
Last this week are two related games from Spawn Studios, Magnetrox ($2) and Magnetrox Lite (Free). In short, these two apps are puzzle games that challenge you to move what looks like a ring of energy from one part of a grid to another, using only North-South-East-West swipes that carry the ring straight in one direction until it hits a wall; this general gameplay concept has been included as a free mini-stage in more complex games, and taken into 3-D with the earlier, same-priced game Monospace. Though the game begins with only one challenge—move your ring to the exit without swiping it off of the screen—Magnetrox adds 45-degree angle bounce walls and other sorts of obstacles as you continue to play the levels, which use graphics that are well below the iPhone's capabilities, and include only basic sound effects with extremely limited music. We'd sooner go with a more impressively developed title like Monospace, but those who are willing to accept only so-so graphic design to get a more varied collection of obstacles may enjoy this. Give the Lite version a shot before ponying up for the 40-level full version; it actually gets to the game's interesting parts more quickly. iLounge Ratings (Both): C+.
It may have come in just after our publication deadline, but we had to share it with you today, anyway: TightWire ($1) by iBright Studios. Put aside the fact that the concept—overweight guy on a tightrope—is going to amuse some people and not others; hopefully, the developer will add some alternate character models. What's here right now is a seriously cool idea for a $1 iPhone game, combined with an impressive if not completely polished graphics engine, and limited audio. You're presented with a slanted overhead view of a character who needs to walk from the top of one building to another on a wire, circus-style, and "treated" to a 3-D view of his demise and the sight of cracked pavement every time he falls. That happens often.
Why? Control is simple, yet surprisingly challenging: you use the accelerometer to try and keep the guy in balance as he moves forwards, tilting ahead to move on and tipping left or right to correct for his instability. While the experience isn't completely fun, taking what we'd describe as the least compelling gameplay portion from third-person action games such as Mirror's Edge, there's something so interesting about seeing it all work in 3-D on the iPhone that we keep on coming back again and again to try and progress through the five stages. Only polygonal seams in the buildings detract from the presentation, which is pretty solid given what iBright Studios is trying to do here. Similarly, the character's body enables the developers to show some believable jiggle as he teeters, and create a huge impact on the ground—complete with Mortal Kombat-style shattered bricks—when he fails. Tweaks to the controls and enhancements to what's here aside, we are truly anxious to see what this developer does next. iLounge Rating: B+.

Tight wire is a blast, but I'm pretty bad at games. I'm especially bad at this one.

Tight Wire is fun AND incredibly funny! It's quite challenging, actually. Well worth a buck!

From the Career Center: Getting a Jumpstart on Internship Experience
As your student finishes freshman year, it is not too early to start thinking about and making summer plans. Internships and other meaningful summer experiences can complement your student's academic studies and assist in clarifying their career goals.
According to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of College Employers (NACE), employers expect to increase internship hiring by 2.7 percent. Additionally, employers who were surveyed in 2013 by NACE reported that 56.5 percent of students who completed an internship were offered a full-time position by the employer.
What your student does outside of the classroom matters. Internships, part-time jobs, service-learning, volunteering, study abroad, research, and student activities will all have an impact on your student's next steps after Fisher.
"The more relevant experience a student can gain through a summer internship or part-time work, the better," said Matt Cardin, Director, St. John Fisher College Career Center. "They can develop skill sets that complement their academic studies, making them competitive candidates in the job market, and separating them from their peers."
Cardin encourages you to support your student's career development by urging them to think about their interests and the kind of work they may want to pursue after graduating.
Here are some ways you can approach the topic with your student:
-Assist your student in thinking creatively about their summer options and the ways they might benefit from an internship or part-time position in their future field.
-Help them research and make a list of possible employers. Encourage them to reach out and inquire about summer opportunities – paid or unpaid.
-Connect your student with friends, family, and neighbors who might help them network for summer opportunities.
-Encourage them to utilize the resources available to them as a member of the Fisher community, which include the Career Center, faculty, staff, and alumni.
The Career Center works closely with students throughout the year, offering one-on-one consultation as well as career workshops and fairs. Upcoming workshops include: Rochester Area Career Expo, Internships Workshop, Getting the Most From a Career Fair, and a Spring Career and Internship Fair.
The Career Center is located on the ground floor of Lavery Library, Room 104, and can be reached at 585-385-8050 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

On Feb. 10, the Northrop Grumman Corporation-built (NYSE:NOC) amphibious assault ship Makin Island (LHD 8) returned from successful three-day builder's sea trials held in the Gulf of Mexico. The ship is the eighth USS Wasp (LHD 1)-class amphibious assault ship being built by the company at its Gulf Coast facilities in Pascagoula, Miss. "We worked collaboratively with the Navy to meet our program commitments, and complete this significant milestone," said Irwin F. Edenzon, sector vice president and general manager of Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding-Gulf Coast. "Our shipbuilders did an outstanding job overcoming some challenges in building the nation's most sophisticated LHD to-date. We are confident the Gulf Coast team will continue the steady progress made on LHD 8, and we're on our way to a second quarter 2009 delivery." During builder's trials, Makin Island performed all required sea trial evolutions during the three days, including the operational achievement of the first gas turbine/electric-powered propulsion system ever used on large deck amphibious assault ships. The gas turbine engines and electric drive will provide significant ship life-cycle savings in manpower and maintenance costs over previous ships. "The Navy and industry team overcame many challenges in getting to this trial," said U.S. Navy Capt. Jeffery Riedel, program manager of Amphibious Warfare Programs for PEO Ships. "The ship performed very well. This was the first time an LHD obtained full power on both Gas Turbines and on its electric drive. I look forward to acceptance trials and delivering Makin Island to the fleet." The Gulf Coast shipbuilding team met several other milestones paving the way for builder's sea trials including the resolution of critical electrical cabling installation issues and a significant integrated propulsion system testing program. The Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding-Gulf Coast test and trials team will join U.S. Navy personnel at-sea for Makin Island acceptance trials. The Makin Island is 844 ft long and 106 ft wide and weighs 42,800 tons. Its 70,000 horsepower hybrid propulsion system will drive it to speeds in excess of 20 knots. As a multi-purpose amphibious assault ship, it is designed to transport and land a Marine Expeditionary Unit, a force of almost 2,000 Marines, ashore by helicopter, landing craft and amphibious assault vehicle. It will also have secondary missions of sea control and power projection by helicopter and fixed-wing vertical short take-off and landing aircraft; command and control; and mission support, including a hospital with six operating rooms. Makin Island is scheduled for commissioning at her San Diego homeport in October 2009.
Advanced dynamic positioning (DP) vessels can now meet critical safety regulations while gaining operational flexibility, efficiency and cost savings through new design and monitoring methods.

Smuggling tunnel found near U.S. border
MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities have discovered a sophisticated smuggling tunnel equipped with electricity and ventilation not far from the Nogales port of entry into Arizona, U.S. and Mexican officials said on Friday.
The Mexican army said the tunnel was found the day before when authorities received an anonymous call in the border city. U.S. law enforcement officials confirmed the existence of the elaborate, football field-long tunnel.
Border Patrol spokesman Victor Brabble said the tunnel did not cross into the United States.
The army said the anonymous caller was reporting gunmen standing outside a two-story house in a hilly neighborhood near the international bridge where motorists travel between Mexico and the United States.
Inside the house, soldiers discovered a fake wall inside a storage closet under a staircase that led to a dark room with buckets and clothes. Under a drain cover in that room, soldiers found another staircase at the entrance of the tunnel that went 16 feet underground and measured a yard in diameter. Light bulbs lit the underground passage and pipes stretched across the 120-yard tunnel that Mexican army officials believe was built to smuggle drugs.
More than 70 such tunnels have been found since October 2008, most of them concentrated along the border in California and Arizona. In Nogales, Arizona, smugglers tap into vast underground drainage canals.

154 of 180 people found the following review helpful
This review is from: Outliers: The Story of Success (Hardcover)
A criticism common to both Malcolm Gladwell's previous books, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking and The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, was that while they were packed with interesting, well told, anecdotes there was no consistent underlying theme to the stories; no particular lesson to be drawn. For example, of the many anecdotes recounted about "thin slicing" some (such as an art expert's ability to instantly assess the bona fides of a statue) suggested it was a special and important skill while others (an impulsive police decision to pursue and shoot dead a innocent bystander) suggested quite the opposite. You were left with the impression that, well, there are these things called snap judgements, and sometimes they work out, and sometimes they don't.
Clearly Malcolm Gladwell has taken those reservations to heart: in Outliers he has been scrupulous to sketch out an integrated underlying thesis and then (for the most part) array his anecdotes - which, as usual, are interesting enough - in support of it. Unfortunately for him, the theory is a lemon. Nonetheless, the flyleaf is hubristic (and unimaginative) enough to claim "This book really will change the way you think about your life". It's not done that for me, but it has changed the way I think about Malcolm Gladwell's writing. And not for the better. Gladwell has looked at some psychological research into success and genius and has concluded that, contrary to conventional wisdom, success isn't to be explained by raw talent. The evidence suggests that genuinely exceptional performers, in whatever field - these are the titular "outliers" - can be identified by a combination of unique and unusual *opportunity* and *commitment* to achieve. It isn't talent, but graft and the odd lucky break. Hmm. A common thread, Gladwell claims, is that most "world class experts", be they "composers, basketball players, fiction writers, ice skaters, concert pianists, chess players, master criminals, what have you ..." have put in 10,000 hours of practice before really achieving success. So, as the paradigm case goes, the Beatles weren't just in the right place at the right time (though clearly they were), but were instead preternaturally prepared for it by their grueling stint playing hundreds of eight-hour shows in Hamburg, an experience which afforded them both the necessary period of time and unusual opportunity to gain musical proficiency. The first quibble here is to note that (even allowing for the patent fantasy that the Beatles played eight-hours non stop each night), on Gladwell's own figures, the Hamburg experience - which didn't involve Ringo Starr - still left the band roughly 8,000 hours short of their necessary 10,000. In any case attributing the Beatles' success to their (undisputed) musical proficiency indicates the degree to which Gladwell misses the point, both about rock 'n' roll (wherein neither concerted effort nor musical acumen has often had much to do with initial commercial success - just ask Elvis or the Rolling Stones) and the quality of the data itself. Gladwell's theory suffers from survivor bias: it starts with an undisputed result (the Beatles - clearly an outlier) and works back looking for evidence to support its hypothesis and takes whatever is there: easy enough to do since the "evidence" is definable only in terms of the subsequently occuring success. In less polite circles this is called revisionism. There will, after all, be no record of the poor loser who spent 10,000 hours at his fretboard and who squandered a wealth of opportunity through ineptitude or bad luck, because, by definition, he never caught the light. Even if you grant Gladwell his theory - and I'm not inclined to - the most that can be said is that he's found a *correlation* between graft and success. But to confuse correlation with causation is a cardinal sin of interpretation (see Stephen Jay Gould's splendid The Mismeasure of Man for a compelling explanation of this fallacy) unless you have independent supporting grounds to justify the causal chain. Gladwell offers none: The Fab Four (well, Fab Three plus Pete Best) may have become a tighter band in Germany, but as Gladwell acknowledges there were many Liverpool bands in Hamburg at the time, all presumably clocking up eight hours non-stop (yeah, right) per night, and none of the others made the cover of Rolling Stone then, or has done since. Much of the rest of Gladwell's patter is similarly glib: look at any "success story" long enough and you're bound to find something in its past you can designate as the crucial 10,000 hours. But to imply - as Gladwell seems to - that it isn't special talent but nothing more than sheer grit and unique opportunity that creates Outliers seems fatuous, and liable to needlessly encourage a class of plodders who will end up very disappointed (and resentful of M. Gladwell, Esq.) in 10 years' time. It struck me when I listened to him speak in London last month that the 10,000 hours might just as easily be confirmation, rather than falsification, of the presence of raw talent. If you take two violinists, one tone deaf and the other unusually gifted, all else being equal, who is more likely to stick at it for the ten years it takes to achieve concert level proficiency? To be sure there are some fascinating lessons to be drawn here, but precisely at the point where Gladwell allows himself to drift off the moorings of his underlying theory: ethnic theory of plane crashes, which seemed to establish very little about outliers even on his argument, is cogent (and in these melting markets, timely) caution as to the risks of autocratic behaviour. Towards the end of the book Gladwell reaches some uneasy conclusions that, based on the extraordinary results of Asian schoolchildren in mathematics, that US schools should effectively abandon summer holidays and have children attend school all year round, like they might if they were working in a rice paddy. I'm not convinced that more school (as opposed to better parenting) is the answer. It was my fortune to be reading Steve Gould's classic tome on scientific sceptism at the same time I read (and listened to) Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell's prescriptions are analogous with the flawed IQ testing programmes Gould so elegantly takes to task: the hypothesis comes first, and the intellectual process behind it is the search for evidence in support of it rather than a dispassionate attempt to falsify. It is hard to imagine how one would go about falsifying (or proving, other than anecdotally) Gladwell's theory and even harder to conceive what prospective use Gladwell's learning, if true, could be. Seeing as the "golden opportunities" can only be identified with hindsight - once your outlier is already lying out there, this feels like the sort of junk science with all the trappings - and utility - of 20:20 rear vision.

Excellent review. I had musings about the authors style and substance but could not place why i was unsure of the total validity of the information and content. Now i understand. It reminds me of being served a nice "presentation" of a dinner at a restaurant, only to find out that the chef really did not prepare the meal more than he knew how "to serve it up". Good job on explaining the feelings i was having.

Now that's a book review. This book is indeed based on the idea of coming up with a hypothesis and then looking for the evidence to support it rather than prove it correct. It's easy to find "evidence" to support even the nuttiest ideas, as the New Age book section at any bookstore will prominently display. Another thing this review points out, that many others seem to miss, is that the book isn't useful. Then again, very few popular science books are.

Brilliant, Mr Buxton! But "Outliers" made me feel sooo good about my mediocre life and my pitiably ordinary forefathers and mothers. Why, it's remarkable they could feed and breed themselves. At 68 I can sit back in my rocker and feel content I've done the best I could. I forgive myself all my shortcomings- nothing is my fault anymore.
I can't wait to read about acting impulsively. That's okay, too! Worth the twenty bucks.

Elaine Thiery says:
Thanks for this. I wonder, though, if some people's reactions to Gladwell's premise aren't based on justifications relating to their personal lives. Someone else here suggests his book makes him feel good about his mediocre talent, but I found myself in the opposite camp. I was vaguely uncomfortable reading this book because of my family's generally high performance on all kinds of tests, IQ or achievement. My kids are those ones who score near perfect on everything. So, yeah, I didn't want to read that this isn't enough to make them successful. I know it's true--that the kids who have drive and winning personalities and loads of wealth (read: opportunity)--are more likely to make something of themselves, but nevertheless, I sort of hated to see it in black and white. Anyway, you mention some logical objections to Gladwell's conclusions, and I commend you. I'm off to read Gould.

Interesting point, Viewer. I'm not sure that Gladwell's celebrity hasn't gone to his head, making such wild leaps, especially based on nothing but association (never mind causation).
There is some evidence that the script of Asian languages influences brain "wiring" or perhaps there are even neuroanatomical differences. It's ridiculous to attribute everything to culture and/or environment. From the interviews I've heard with Gladwell, I've been aghast at his certitude on subjects where he seems obviously poorly schooled.

Greg Ratzel says:
Um, you totally missed the point of Gladwell's argument. The equation he suggests isn't Opportunity + Commitment = Success. It's Talent + Opportunity + Commitment = Success. Aptitude is still essential. Any one of these by itself is commonplace, but find them in conjunction and you find outliers. This is a useful insight beyond the usual platitude of "oh they were just born lucky".

Olly Buxton says:
No, I don't think I did. I make three points: Firstly, his anecdotes (and that's what they are) don't support his "equation". Secondly, the "commitment" Gladwell hypothesises isn't a universal feature of outliers in general (and isn't even a feature of all the examples he cites), and thirdly, because of the inbuilt survivor bias of Gladwell's theory and his means of proving it, the insight, however accurate it might be, is never useful, because it is only observable retrospectively.
Clearly not everyone with talent, opportunity and commitment achieves outlying success. Clearly some people, without unusual talent or massive commitment, do.

I disagree. It's ammunition against republican notions of "pulling your self up by your bootstraps." The KIPP part in the book is useful. |

This past summer I took my best friend and long-time crush on a paddle-boarding trip. My crush and I playfully wrestled on the boards and he threw me into the water. As I came up for air, I realized he had accidentally grabbed my bikini top—and I flashed him! He quickly apologized, but I was still so embarrassed.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Biocon Ltd, India's top-listed biotechnology company, said it signed an agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Co under which the U.S. drugmaker will have the option to get the worldwide license to its oral insulin drug program.
Bristol Myers can choose to assume full responsibility for the development of the drug IN-105, if its mid-stage trial is successful.
Biocon, which has been looking to partner the drug for nearly two years, said it would receive a license fee as well as milestone payments and royalties based on commercial sales of the drug outside India. It will retain the rights to IN-105 in India.
Financial terms of the deal were not available.
Currently, there are no insulin tablets available and patients with diabetes who need insulin -- a naturally occurring protein that controls blood sugar -- must inject it.
Earlier this year, Pfizer scrapped a deal to sell injectable insulin products made by Biocon.
Biocon shares, which rose more than 4 percent in the previous session, were down 0.4 percent on Friday, while the broader market was up 0.3 percent.
