The 404 422: Where Rana Sobhany is the frosting on The 404 cupcake
Who cares about Apple's little iPod refresh yesterday--it's Rana Sobhany's birthday!! We were already excited to have Rana on the show today, but we had no idea that she'd be bringing treats. Turns out that Ms. Sobhany has been indulging her foodie side recently and baked us CUPCAKES to celebrate! Since we always strive to be perfect gentlemen on the show, we don't pry too much into how many birthdays she's celebrated so far, so I think it's safe to assume that Rana has spent a cool 19 years on this Earth. We all get a little nervous when Rana quiets us down for some real talk, and lo and behold, she calls me out big time on my Valentine's Day fumble. Be sure to watch the video show to see how I make it up to her on the air.Click the thumbnail for a larger picture.Wilson G. TangOn the second half of the show, Rana shows us a really cool iPhone app called Sonifi. Created by electro artist BT, the sensory application lets users physically manipulate the artist's work, essentially performing a live remix! Rana demos the app for us and soon the studio transforms into a big birthday rave.Also, a big thanks goes out to Joshua Chu for Photoshopping us into a scene from "Futurama!" We can't believe you don't do this for a living, Josh. I think our favorite little Easter egg is the Apple logo on Wilson's case. Great work, dude!Leave us a voice mail at 1-866-404-CNET or e-mail the404(at)cnet(dot)com and let us know what you think of the show! Also, be sure to wish Rana a very happy birthday!EPISODE 422PodcastYour browser does not support the audio element.

Microsoft's latest iOS app- Kinectimals
Microsoft's latest iOS app: Kinectimals
First came OneNote, then SkyDrive. Now, Microsoft is jumping into the iOS games market with Kinectimals, a mobile version of the popular Kinect console title."Game" might not be the right word. Kinectimals simulates adopting and playing with a tiger cub (your choice of five breeds at the beginning, with five more you can unlock). Target audience: 3-year-olds.OK, slightly older kids might enjoy this as well, but Kinectimals is so simplistic that I think anyone over the age of 7 is likely to lose interest pretty quickly.That's not to say this Tamogotchi-style experience is bad, because it's not. Rather, it's cute as the dickens, with frisky tiger cubs who jump and coo and catch (or at least paw at) tennis balls. Soothing new-agey music plays in the background.For the first few minutes, it's not immediately obvious what you're supposed to do with your cub. If you tap him, the camera zooms in and lets you "pet" him. Eventually he'll wander off and get a ball or a jump-rope, both used for kid-friendly mini-games.Tip: tap the trophy icon, which offers challenges (starting with basic tutorials) that earn you experience points and coins you can spend on extra items.Those items can be found by tapping the inventory icon, which also reveals options like Food, Care Items, Trick Mode, and so on. There's even a weird but cute Camera option that sends you to a studio for a photo shoot with your cub. (The snapshots are automatically saved to your iDevice's photo library.) You'd think each photo would show just your pet, but they include the studio surroundings--lights, backdrops, etc.--as well. Like I said: weird.Some of this can be figured out just by tapping around, but I think parents should read the How to Play guide so they can properly instruct kids, who might get frustrated by the lack of progression. (Embarrassing admission: I didn't read the instructions, and I got frustrated by the lack of progression. Once I learned the basics, however, I started having some fun.)By the way, Kinectimals for iOS has the enviable capability to transfer cubs to and from the Xbox version.Speaking of which, the latter costs $50 at Amazon. Kinectimals for iOS is $2.99. I think I know which one I'd start with.

Game of Thrones finale piracy hits 2 petabytes in 12 hours
Game of Thrones finale piracy hits 2 petabytes in 12 hours
Yesterday saw the airing of the final episode for season four of HBO's "Game of Thrones". According to data from the official US ratings, "The Children", as the episode was titled, was the most watched GoT episode to date, hitting 7.1 million viewers. Continuing the ongoing trend, it was also popular with pirates, breaking the series' own torrenting records. According to TorrentFreak -- almost the unofficial industry body for this sort of information -- the episode also saw "roughly" 1.5 million downloads in the first 12 hours after airing. That equates to around 2 petabytes of data. (For some scale on just how big a petabyte is, Deloitte Analytics offers this: it would take 233,000 DVDs to store a single PB.) The episode also broke the record for the largest "swarm" -- the number of people sharing the same file. Back in May, 207,054 people shared the same torrent file for the episode "First of his Name". This time round, "The Children" managed a total of 254,114 sharers. Australia has always been one of, if not the, top torrenter of GoT and this season saw many Australians putting the blame on pay TV service Foxtel's exclusive deal for the show. A similar deal exists in the UK, with Sky's Now TV bagging exclusive streaming rights -- and making a shoddy job of showing it. It's only now that the full season is over that other video services and broadcasters are able to offer the season for download or streaming. Foxtel unsurprisingly reacted angrily to the claims, telling CNET unequivocally that "piracy is theft" and noting that it had special pricing deals in place for GoT to make it more accessible. HBO, which makes the show, is apparently more sanguine, with programming boss Michael Lombardo quoted last year as saying that illegal downloads are "a compliment of sorts". Now that the final episode has aired, the full season can be bought in HD from Google Play for AU$35 -- £18.49 in the UK -- and from Australian streaming service Quickflix at AU$34 to name just two. It has yet to be made available on iTunes for the Australian audience -- a fact that some commentators suggest shows a dissatisfaction with the Foxtel exclusivity.

'Game of Thrones' Bush head episode spiked from HBO Go, iTunes
'Game of Thrones' Bush head episode spiked from HBO Go, iTunes
One of the wonderful benefits HBO subscribers get these days is HBO Go, an online -- or mobile -- service that lets them access almost all of the network's archive. But today, clearly embarrassed by the firestorm caused by an episode of its hit series "Game of Thrones" featuring former President George W. Bush's decapitated head on a spike, HBO has yanked the episode from both HBO Go and iTunes.Episode 10 of season 1 of 'Game of Thrones' featured former U.S. President George W. Bush's head on a spike. HBO has pulled the episode from HBO Go and iTunes.Screenshot by CNETThe controversy first arose earlier this week when the Web site io9 posted a story about its discovery of the Bush head in episode 10 of the show's first season. The producers of the show have insisted that the use of the head was simply because they had it lying around, and that it wasn't political in any way. HBO seems not to agree that it was harmless."We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful, and in very bad taste. We made this clear to the executive producers of the series who apologized immediately for this careless mistake," HBO said in a statement published by the Chicago Tribune. "We condemn it in the strongest possible terms and have halted all future shipments of the DVDs, removed it from our digital platforms, and will edit the scene for all future airings on any distribution domestic or international."But HBO's statement to the Tribune did not address the show's digital availability. The Web site Yidio.com wrote this afternoon about the episode having been removed from HBO Go and iTunes, presumably until an edited version can be finished.

Hacker- I've ported Google Maps to iOS 6
Hacker: I've ported Google Maps to iOS 6
Google Maps seems to have found its way onto iOS 6 with help from a hacker, though it's not quite ready for its public debut.Self-proclaimed iOS hacker and engineer Ryan Petrich tweeted yesterday that he was able to coax Google Maps to work on iOS 6 "with a little trickery." Though mum about his methods, he said that he was able to port the iOS 5.1 version of Google's app to run on an iPhone 3GS that had been updated to iOS 6. Petrich also included a short video clip showing Google Maps in action on Apple's new mobile OS.Before iOS users get too excited, there are a few caveats. Petrich admitted that the port is prone to crashes and that it can't yet be distributed to the public. And apparently, your mobile device must be jailbroken for the hack to even work.Maps woes in Apple iOS 6: How bad?

He promised to include an installer if he's able resolve the distribution issues.Apple carved out some trouble for itself last week when its new Maps app launched as part of iOS 6. Users soon discovered a rash of problems with the app, including missing or lost cities, duplicated islands, mislabeled locations, and fuzzy images. The company specifically kicked out Google Maps from iOS to make way for its own Maps app.iOS 6 users in search of an alternative to Apple's app have a few choices. The simplest option is to open the Google Maps site in mobile Safari. Then click on the Send button on the bottom toolbar and select the option to Add to Home Screen.

Grand Central Apple store rumor heats up again
Grand Central Apple store rumor heats up again
Apple is once again said to be vying for a space in New York's Grand Central Terminal to serve as a future retail store.The Wall Street Journal reported today that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is on the hunt to fill 15,230 square feet of retail space in the landmark transportation hub, and Apple has "expressed interest."The space in question is currently taken by Charlie Palmer's Metrazur restaurant, and stretches two balconies located on the north and east sides of the terminal. According to the Journal, whoever goes in there next has to pay Palmer to vacate the lease, which runs through 2019.In February, reports emerged that Apple was evaluating a space at Grand Central, and had already begun what was said to be a long approval process for a spot inside the landmark. That process involves pitching the MTA with a proposal, including how much the tenant wants to pay.Apple's retail empire has grown substantially since 2001, the year the company opened up its first stores. Last week marked the 10th anniversary of that effort. Apple has opened more than 320 retail locations around the world.Apple currently has four retail locations in New York City: Fifth Avenue, SoHo, Upper West Side, and West 14th Street. The 10,000-square-foot Fifth Avenue location is one of the busiest of all the stores, pulling in around $1 million in sales per day according to estimates in 2009. The larger space within the terminal has the potential to bring in similarly impressive numbers, with around 750,000 visitors coming through the station each day, ranging up to a million a day during the holidays.

Google's Nexus 7 has smart cover-type sensor just like iPad
Google's Nexus 7 has smart cover-type sensor just like iPad
Has Google's Nexus 7 borrowed its magnetic personality from the iPad?As detailed in the YouTube clip online and below, a curious Nexus 7 user ran a magnet along the edges of the tablet as the device was asleep. After the user pulled the magnet away from the lower left edge, the tablet's screen came to life. And when the magnet was placed in the same spot, the tablet went back to sleep.That behavior mimics the process used by Apple's Smart Cover, which turns the display of the iPad on as the cover is pulled away from the tablet. As noted by Android Police, the Nexus 7 seems to be the only known Android device with this feature.Google sells covers for the Nexus 7, though no mention is made of a Smart Cover type of technology. Asus, which manufacturers the tablet, also sells a cover, which it specifically calls a "smart cover." But again, there's no reference as to whether this employs a similar magnetic process.Related storiesGoogle Nexus 7 reviewGoogle's Nexus 7 tablet is here: What do you think?

Google's Chrome adds support for Retina Display
Google's Chrome can now serve up Web pages that show off Apple's Retina display in all its glory. Until now, Google's popular browser did not support the display on Apple's newest MacBook Pro. The Retina screen has a 2880x1800 pixel density (220 pixels per inch). It is the highest pixel density, by far, of any laptop in its class. Chrome support for Retina smooths out those fuzzy, jagged edges.GoogleBack in June, Google said: "Apple recently announced a new laptop with a Retina high-resolution screen, and we're committed to polishing Chrome until it shines on that machine."And that's exactly what Google did yesterday.

Google's AdMob delighted with new Apple policies
Google's AdMob delighted with new Apple policies
Count Google's AdMob division among those glad to see that Apple has had a change of heart regarding restrictions on App Store development.Omar Hamoui, former CEO of AdMob and currently vice president of product management at Google, had been worried that changes to Apple's iPhone Developer Agreement prohibited developers from using AdMob's in-application advertising products--Apple had banned the use of third-party analytic data by companies "owned by or affiliated with a developer or distributor of mobile devices." But Apple's decision Thursday to strip its agreement of that language elicited a thank-you note from Hamoui."Apple's new terms will keep in-app advertising on the iPhone open to many different mobile ad competitors and enable advertising solutions that operate across a wide range of platforms," Hamoui wrote in a blog post. "We're pleased that Apple has clarified its terms and we're 100 (percent) committed to developing the best possible advertising solutions and formats for the iPhone - as well as for Android devices, Blackberries, Palm devices, Windows mobile devices and undoubtedly many more to come - in the years ahead."Apple never appeared to actually enforce the terms of the agreement, Hamoui told attendees at the MobileBeat 2010 conference in July. Still, Apple's decision removes some of the uncertainty among application developers associated with using AdMob's services to earn a little extra money from their iPhone applications.
