GetLarry | Friday June 26 2009 10:55 am | Comments (0)

We got our first donation this morning [26 June 2009] and the apple [pun intended] didn’t fall far from Larry’s tree.

His brother-in-law, Eric and great friend of GetLarry has graciously donate $1 towards getting Larry an iPhone.

We are now only a messily $498 USD short of our goal of $499. 2% down, 98% to go!

Check out Eric’s post on our donor wall. You too can get your name on there just give a little bit.

UPDATE 2: Ever Evolving i,Porn Situation

iPhonePronApp

It seem in fact Apple did not pull the iPhone porn app from the iTunes store but rather the makers did “…because of high demand…”

The lead developer Allen the Geek, writes on its site:

The Hottest Girls app is temporarily sold out. The server usage is extremely high because of the popularity of this app. Thus, by not distributing the app, we can prevent our servers from crashing. Those who already have the app will still be able to use our app. To answer the question on everyone’s mind: Yes, the topless images will still be there when it is sold again. -ATG dev team

So the iPhone porn app was not pulled by apple, just temporarily “Sold Out” because of problems from the image servers. Other porn apps are still available, get ‘em while there hot!

Via: Techcrunch.

But back to the business at hand. We need to get Larry an iPhone, donate please.

UPDATE: Ménage – Apple, iPhone and Porn

So it seems some publicity is not always good publicity after all.

With all the hoopla articles like the one from CNN got it’s no wonder Apple has [at least temporarily] reversed it’s position and pulled the ‘Hottest Girls’ app from the iTunes store. The app disappeared shortly earlier today causing tons of adolescent teen to cry on their screen protectors.

Previously, Apple would not approve this kind of material for sale on iTunes but many people had been hoping that with the new parental controls Apple might begin to loosen the rains. I guess they will only do it if no one knows about it.

Woo Hoo: Apple approves soft-core porn app!

Apple approves soft core porn app for the i,phone.

Excerpt from the article:

Adolescent boys with access to their parent’s credit cards may have reason to celebrate today. Apple has finally allowed pornography, or at least nudity, into the iTunes App Store.

An image from the ‘Hottest Girls’ application for sale in the iTunes App Store.

Hottest Girls has the distinguished privilege of being the first application approved for sale in the iTunes App Store that contains nudity. The Hottest Girls app is not new, but as of today, photos of topless women join the application’s “2200+ sexy bikini babes and lingerie models.”

If this doesn’t convince Larry to get an iPhone I don’t know what will.

Top 10 Reasons

GetLarry | Tuesday June 23 2009 1:43 pm | Comments (0)

This is an ever evolving list of reason’s Larry refuses to get an iPhone. Here are the top 10.

#10 – GetLarry, “Larry is afraid of commitment. 2 years with at&t is scary. Remember how long it took him to dump Verizon?”
#9 – Larry, “I know, I’m still not sold on it…when I use the touch I always inadvertently select the wrong email.”
#8 – Anonymous, “All his money is tied up in his house.”
#7 – Mike M fell to the pear pressure on Larry and at on June 21, 2009, at 10:20 PM he told us all “I’m now an iPhone owner!” and we know anything Mike does Larry refuses to do.
#6 – Levy, “Gorilla fingers.” – see #9
#5 – Larry, “Exchange may work on the iphone but the email app is not as good.”
#4 – JMC, “He is an old man afraid of change. Next he will be calling us Sonny and reminiscing of his Nokia 6810 and how he lost his 1st one out drinking. lol”
#3 – Mike M, “Larry is a hater.”
#2 – Larry, “Right now I prefer to scroll through email the blackberry way…i think.”

And the #1 reason Larry will not get an iPhone:

#1 – Larry, “Too late, just picked up a bold.”

Maybe Larry should get a Commodore 64?

GetLarry | Tuesday June 23 2009 12:23 pm | Comments (0)

Technologizer has a great little article comparing the iPhone to the once great Commodore 64. Sadly to say it starts of by telling us, “Apple has rejected a Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone.” While that is not too surprising since Apple strictly forbids emulators we @GetLarry are sure disappointed to here this. We love our Commodore 64. Weren’t the graphics and the game so awesome?

The article continues waxing poetic about the Commodore 64 and put together a little chart comparing the specs of both. Click on the image to see the full chart.

Anyway, maybe Larry should get a Commodore 64 or maybe even a Vic-20.

Thanks for all the support

Larry

This is Larry and this site dedicated to him making the right decision,  joining the rest of us and getting an iPhone.

In so many ways Larry is on the “right” track.  He has a lovely wife, a wonderful family and tons of great friend.  He loves scotch, the NY Yankees, and the show 24.  He has a beautiful house and a job he loves.

Unfortunately when it comes to cell phones this otherwise dapper individual loses his way.  He’s experimented with some awful phones like the motorola krzr and even had a doodie phone that he drop in the toilet.

So many of Larry’s friends have iPhones [Jeff, John, Mike and me just to name a few].  His brother-in-law has one, his father-in-law is in the market for one too [or so the rumors say].  Even his mom has one but not Larry. Confused???? You betcha!

Forget this Blackberry bold crap Larry and join the i,Revolution!
