Hope you got in on the Naked girls iPhone App while you had the chance. Apple just removed it from the US store.

What's the point of having app ratings and parental controls when there aren't going to be any adult-only apps at the top of the ratings pile? Who knows. But it's not like you can't just open up the Safari app and see all these photos elsewhere on the internet.

Hit the gallery for a taste of what you missed. [iTunes (in case you wanted to verify for yourself, or if you're in another country)]

Sometimes even spam is useful. This is a set of images we got from a junk email trying to sell us 50,000 pieces of Asian LCDs. CDMA only, they claim in bold. [Thanks spammer!]

Warner Bros is super, super smart about marketing their Blu-ray discs. First they had Christopher Nolan host a community screening for The Dark Knight. Now director Zack Snyder will do the same for Watchmen.

The Watchmen BD comes out July 21, then Zack Snyder will host a community screening (allowing viewers to watch the movie along with his live commentary on their Blu-ray players) during Comic-Con on July 25. Is the experience worth the price of the disc alone? Definitely not. But if you're a big Watchmen fan, the screening is certainly a nice bonus if you're already purchasing the Blu-ray on day of release. I just wonder if Snyder's bladder is heartier than Nolan's. Place your bets on pee breaks now. And remember, Watchmen is a long movie, too. [Video Business via engadgetHD]

It looks as though The Pirate Bay will have to hope for the best on appeal now that a Swedish court ruled that the judge's membership with two pro-copyright organizations does not constitute bias.

While the judge overseeing the retrial case did make it clear that these affiliations should have been disclosed, he noted that Sweden has copyright laws and simply agreeing with them is not justification for a mistrial. Naturally, this verdict will result in more desperate legal posturing that will eventually border on the absurd. Speaking of that, defendant Peter Kolmisoppi Sunde responded to the decision by tweeting the following:

The Pirate Bay will now file charges against Sweden for violation for Human Rights. More info later. (The bias-judge is himself biased...)

Oh boy. [Ars Technica]

AT&T femtocell, the Wi-Fi-like hotspot that improves AT&T signals in your home, is still on track for a 2009 release. But now that I'm rocking 7.2Mbps in Chicago anyway, the prospect is not quite exciting as it used to be. [mobileburn]

Handsome man Brian Ashcraft has no luck with his phones. It's not that he misplaces them, it's that they try to escape from his handsome clutches. That's why he had to turn to a Shinto priest.

His latest contribution to Wired paints a picture of people in Japan asking these priests to bless all kinds of electronics to protect them from misbehaving, from copies of Windows XP to Roombas to copies of Windows Vista. Pretty much anything you can bring in, they will bless (as long as you pay them). Head on over to Wired to get the full story. [Wired]

This cannon-shaped USB hub features three ports that trigger an artillery sound effect when a device is plugged in. There is even a bomber for air support. Unfortunately, I would hesitate to bring these into battle.

The problem is, the canon and the airplane are both severely underpowered—they only support USB 1.1. These hubs are relics to be perfectly honest. I mean, you wouldn't go to Gettysburg looking for artillery to fight WWIII right? [Cannon and Airplane via GeekAlerts and Geeky Gadgets]
