Christian actually has two apps, RemoteAmp for WinAmp and RemoteTunes for iTunes. Both of them get pretty good reviews in App World and are very reasonably priced at $0.99 each. Check them out at the links below:

Official BlackBerry Blog Hacked – All Seems To Be Well Now

Posted: 09 Aug 2011 12:12 PM PDT

Team Poison Hack

I didn't want to mention this when we first saw it because hacked websites can do nasty things to your computer through your browser. Now that it seems RIM has things under control you can check out the screenshot above to see what happened earlier today. RIM got called out by this team of hackers because RIM said they were helping the London Police. Hacking RIM's WordPress blog is not a huge security breach but who knows what information was on there.

The message they left for RIM on the homepage stated:


"You Will _NOT_ assist the UK Police because if u do innocent members of the public who were at the wrong place at the wrong time and owned a blackberry will get charged for no reason at all, the Police are looking to arrest as many people as possible to save themselves from embarrassment…. if you do assist the police by giving them chat logs, gps locations, customer information & access to peoples BlackBerryMessengers you will regret it, we have access to your database which includes your employees information; e.g – Addresses, Names, Phone Numbers etc. – now if u assist the police, we _WILL_ make this information public and pass it onto rioters…. do you really want a bunch of angry youths on your employees doorsteps? Think about it…. and don’t think that the police will protect your employees, the police can’t protect themselves let alone protect others….. if you make the wrong choice your database will be made public, save yourself the embarrassment and make the right choice. don’t be a puppet..

p.s – we do not condone in innocent people being attacked in these riots nor do we condone in small businesses being looted, but we are all for the rioters that are engaging in attacks on the police and government…. and before anyone says "the blackberry employees are innocent" no they are not! They are the ones that would be assisting the police."

Thanks Mac @PocketBerry for pointing this out to me earlier

Klout: BlackBerry Users Have Highest Score vs iPhone & Android

Posted: 09 Aug 2011 04:50 AM PDT

Klout

Klout is an interesting startup that measures a individuals influence based on their ability to drive action. It aggregates data from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare to measure how many people you influence, how much you influence them, and how influential they themselves are. In short it calculates how influential you are in social media.

Klout posted some data on their blog earlier this week comparing the clout of iPhone vs Android users and found that iPHone influencers have a score of 42.0 compared to Androids 40.6. Not a huge spread but still this caused BlackBerry users to ask where they fit in. Turns out the average score of a BlackBerry influencer is higher than both Android and iPhone at 43.6.

While I am sure Android and iPhone users have some way to explain that away I simply think it is because social media and communication is so much easier and seamless on a BlackBerry. On an iPhone and Android every social media app lives in its own world.
