A teaser site for an upcoming iPhone game has GTA fans salivating, however Rockstar is denying everything.

There's something fishy going down in regards to Grand Theft Auto and Apple's iPhone. But before this report gets any further, let's make it clear that Rockstar Games is in a state of denial, or rather, has denied that it has anything to do with recent reports of GTA appearing on Apple's device, according to TechRadar UK. As the series' sole publisher, it's unlikely that any GTA games will appear without Rockstar's stamp of approval.

However, the recent interest in GTA for the iPhone originally ignited due to a teaser video located at www.coming-on-iphone.com. The video itself is embedded within an iPhone setting that, in turn, is set against a familiar GTA-style backdrop. The footage looks convincingly enough, showcasing a great CGI sequence depicting a bank heist and the resulting police chase through a metropolitan area. In fact, one scene even depicts the top-down view used in GTA: Chinatown. At the end, the video announces that the mystery game will arrive in Summer 2009.

But, as previously stated, Rockstar denies that it's GTA, and the video does not feature Rockstar's logo overlay or any mentions of the GTA series. Still, a clever "teaser" video doesn't give any obvious hints, but rather has a single mission to annoy fans until the next installment. That could very well be the case here, and Rockstar's denial could be part of an overall bigger tease. With larger IPs hitting the iPhone such as Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Doom, and even Myst, GTA would certainly be a welcome edition (if it makes it through Apple's top-notch approval system, that is).

Pocket Gamer on the other hand, still thinks GTA is a possibility, as apparently there was mention of an iPhone-based GTA game during Leipzig last year. Perhaps Rockstar will change its mind in the near future, however until then, we'll be scratching our heads and wondering just what exactly is coming to the iPhone this summer. Take a peek at the GTA-style video and tell us what you think! As the teaser site states, 'you have no idea what's coming on the iPhone.'

If it's a real game at all, that is.

Apple has gotten a lot of attention over the last couple of weeks for allowing an application that included semi nude photos of women. So what happens when you add underage girls into the mix?

Apple has pulled an application called Beauty Meter from the App Store. The application is based around the same idea as hotornot.com. You rate pictures of girls based on their face, body and clothes. The pictures are user generated. In other words, anyone who has the app can snap a photo and upload it for other people to rate. Most of the images are women in their underwear or sexy clothes and, according to KRAPPS, every picture is approved by the developer. However, the developer also approves images of women not wearing clothes, despite Apple's stance on "inappropriate content."

Everything hit the fan when KRAPPS came across a bunch of pictures of under-aged girls. It seems most of them were sixteen and partially clothed with none of the uh, important parts, on show. Not good. However, those pictures are easily overlooked when you consider KRAPPS also found an image of a topless fifteen year old girl, posing for the camera and pulling off her knickers.

This is the part where everyone speculates as to how these girls (underage or not) were able to have their photos approved in the first place. Apple probably approved the app before it contained any nudity. Indeed a follow up article from KRAPPS shows that the application contained zero nudity for a time, which leads to speculation as to whether or not the developer pulled all the naked pictures because it was resubmitting a newer version for approval. That said, no matter what way you spin it in relation to women over eighteen submitting nude photos, it still doesn’t explain how young girls were able to have their images posted, along with a caption detailing their age and location if the developers were approving every single picture.

The application has been pulled but reports say that the images (including the ones of underage girls) are still available to those who already have the app. Apple has yet to release a comment.

King of Pop rules the internet age too.

The unexpected death of Michael Jackson had people talking immediately. People took to the internet and social networking sites to search, update statuses and tweet. In fact, Google thought that it was under attack when it was suddenly inundated with similar queries.

Checking for Michael Jackson on the internet also lead to record-breaking sales of online music. According to Wired, Billboard gathered that Michael Jackson is the first artist ever to sell more than a million downloads in a week. Nielsen SoundScan data for the week ending June 28 had Jackson solo recordings and Jackson Five songs selling 2.6 million.

Consumers have also rushed out to buy physical media of Michael Jackson recordings. Billboard's estimates that that retailers in the last week sold 415,000 Michael Jackson albums, representing an increase of 4,150 percent from the previous week.

A quick check on iTunes also shows the King of Pop dominating the top ten lists (see the screen shots below, taken June 27, 2009).

Did you contribute to the record number of downloads, or did you kick it old school by buying it on a circular piece of media?

Now you can see your favorite camjunkies in 3D!

Conferencing with your favorite pals over webcam no longer has to be a two dimensional affair. Hammacher Schlemmer is now selling what it claims to be "the only 3D Web Camera."

As with how stereoscopic vision works, the 3D webcam uses two cameras to capture video at 800 x 600 resolution at 15 frames per second, which can focus up to 12 feet away.

While we haven't yet gotten hands-on with one, we're a little disappointed that it'll be using the old-fashioned blue and red 3D glasses method (five pairs are included with the camera, and the total package runs for $100), which will alter the true colors of the image. Of course, it is probably the most economical and compatible solution.

A pricing mistake on behalf of Dell may cost the company millions.

While misspellings can be extremely embarrassing even after countless re-reads (cough), it's another situation altogether when a product is incorrectly priced online. Whether it was a case of slippery fingers or a miscommunication between entities, Dell is now suffering a possible financial setback due to a mispriced 19-inch LCD monitor listed online. Unfortunately, it's not something Dell can joke about and sweep under the rug, but a pricetag Taiwan's Consumer Protection Commission is now enforcing.

Computerworld is reporting that the government agency received 471 complaints after Dell corrected the LCD's pricing by changing it from a meager $15 back to the 'discounted' $146 listing; the LCD originally cost $229 before the discount. The incorrect pricing posted online June 25 at 11 p.m., and then the corrected date appeared on June 26 at 7 a.m. During that eight-hour stretch, Dell racked in 26,000 customers purchasing nearly 140,000 displays, and based on those figures, that's roughly over $18 million Dell could potentially lose.

Unfortunately, it seems that Dell may not be able to find a way out of the dilemma unscathed. The Commission ordered that Dell should sell each customer one monitor at the previously listed $15 price, and then offer a descending discount for each monitor ordered. If Dell fails to comply with the order, it would be a violation of Taiwan's fair trade laws, and the government would thus be forced to seek "legal alternatives."

Although Dell apologized for the pricing error, the company said in a statement that it would offer discounts to all orders received under the false pricing. Currently Dell is working with the Taiwanese government to reach a final settlement that would benefit all parties involved.

In keeping with its promise of more transparency in Washington, the Obama administration has launched an online tool that will track the country’s IT spending.

Just because it's not getting the same press it was getting a few months back, that doesn't mean America's economic problems have vanished into thin air. As a result, the American people want to know how much money the government is spending and on what. Enter the IT dashboard, an online tool that tracks every dime of IT spending across all government agencies.

Announced yesterday by U.S. CTO, Vivek Kundra at the Personal Democracy Forum conference on technology and politics. "Everyone knows there have been spectacular failures when it comes to technology investments," Kundra said, according to the Washington Post. "Now for the first time the entire country can see how we're spending money and give us input."

The dashboard allows regular citizens to monitor how much is being spent on certain projects but also how much was estimated for each project. In other words, you can see where the government is spending more money on a project than it originally thought it would.

Check out the tool here and if you're confused, the FAQ is actually offers a pretty decent understanding of how the whole thing works.
