As you’ll recall, the C64 emulator for the iPhone was shut down by the App store for being too awesome. Apple has approved the app but took off the BASIC support. Not great but not bad, either.

You can download the app here and this time there is no secret back door for enabling the BASIC emulator right in the app, which caused the emulator to run afoul of Apple’s draconian “no fun” policy.

Here is a cheerful Australian man running you through the app. It allows you to play classic games including that Kung Fu game that you remember but don’t quite know the name of but had a picture of the Sydney opera house in the background (it was called International Karate). It comes with eight games.

Another day, another story that makes Apple look bad. Today’s is a charming tale in which Apple is alleged to have placed a gag order on a Liverpool man after his iPod touch exploded. The man complained to Apple, and Apple offered the man “compensation” in the form of so many pounds (the man merely asked for his £162 back), but only on the condition that he never tell anyone about said compensation.

It’s even worse than it sounds, since Apple apparently only offered a full refund if the man signed the gag order.

This is all goes back to when the man, a certain Ken Stanborough, a 47-year-old gentleman from Liverpool, bought an iPod touch for his daughter. He accidently dropped the iPod one day, then “it made a hissing noise.”

“I could feel it getting hotter in my hand, and I thought I could see vapour”. Mr Stanborough said he threw the device out of his back door, where “within 30 seconds there was a pop, a big puff of smoke and it went 10ft in the air.”

Nice. Can you imagine your gadgets collapsing into a poof of smoke every time you dropped it?

You should know that Stanborough didn’t sign Apple’s gag order, which means he’s out the £l62 he spent.

Oh, also: anyone else think that girl, Stanborough’s daughter, is wearing quite a bit of makeup for an 11-year-old?

A woman was shot today at an Arlington Apple Store, for no one knows what reason. She’s in serious but stable condition and the guy is at large. I’m surprised this hasn’t happened before: iPhones are expensive little buggers and jacking a pallet of them would be a real score.

It’s unclear what went down, exactly, and what if anything is missing. Apparently she was shot as soon as she opened the back door, which bespeaks a less-than-subtle perpetrator.

Maybe they’ll start making those glass storefronts bulletproof now?

Update: The surveillance video is propagating.
