Evening Reading
by Jeff Mattas, Jan 13, 2011 5:00pm PSTI'm not exactly sure what triggered the impulse, but I've been revisiting the show 'Sifl and Olly' recently on ye ol' YouTubes.
For the uninitiated, 'Sifl and Olly' was a short-lived comedy show created by musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco that aired on late-night MTV from 1997-'99. It bears the distinction of being one of the most-beloved pieces of original comedy programming the network ever aired, while also being one of the lowest-rated. Sadly, despite fan requests, it's unclear if series will ever see a re-release that isn't so rare that it immediately becomes ridiculously expensive.
On that note, have a crescentfresh chatty.
for Apple. "I'll tell you a story I probably shouldn't tell you," he
told Eurogamer. "I downloaded Smurf's Village for free on the iPad for
my kids, who are four and two, because I wanted to get them used to
playing games. And the first thing they did was bought a Wagon of
Smurf for £59.99.
"There's no password protection," he added. "I think Apple might just
warn people who are downloading a game for a four-year-old that it
includes in-app purchases without password protection."

There is passwd protection, but the ipad caches it for 15 minutes. So parents enter their passwd to install a free game, hand the ipad to the kids, kid immediately does two taps to buy some dumb trinket, parent is billed $99.
I shall turn off in-app purchases!

You don't happen to know if there is a way to lock the springboard so icons can't be moved around, by chance? Or perhaps disabling the folders feature entirely?
