Zelda Comes Out On The iPod, But It's Not Made By Nintendo

Ripping off other people's ideas has been happening since the dawn of time and Nintendo's games aren't safe against those people and it easily shows in Ultimate iZelda Climb made by Scott Avy.

Ultimate iZelda Crimb is the most obviously knock-off game every created. First, the main menu's picture comes from Kevin Keel's "Hey! Listen! Hey!" artwork and the Zelda you control was completely taken from Wind Waker. Scott Avy is also known for making other rip-offs like Call of Duty, Hello Kitty and World of Warcraft. It would be understandable if this was made for fun and made free for everyone, but this guy is actually selling his app for $0.99, so he's making money while ripping other games off.

If you still don't believe me, then take a gander at these screenshots from Ultimate iZelda Climb.

Once this gets Nintendo's attention, then I'm sure they'll demand that Apple takes the app down. I'm just surprised that Apple let this slide since they have to review the apps.

Steve Jobs passes away

A true icon died today. Steve Jobs, co-founder of apple and designer of the iphone and Macbook pro passed away earlier today at the Age of 56.

1955 - 2011

Two months ago Steve resigned as CEO of Apple due to health problems but he hid how bad it truly was. For the last couple of decades Steve has struggled with pancreatic cancer, at first he managed to beat it but it returned several years later, and unfortunately he lost the fight.

While the only Apple product I own is my ipod, I respect Steve Jobs as a businessman and I'm truly saddened by his death. This man has turned the future into now with amazing technology and the world will be less without him.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve
