We have to assume that thieves are not as smart as the movies portray them. Well at least not those that get caught. Had they been smart they could have chosen a better paying career.

The not-so-smart thief stole an iPod and then was apprehended by the police when they found the victim’s playlist still on it. Besides the iPod, some cellphones and $390 in cash have been stolen from three guys in a car in Des Moines, Iowa. I suspect this won’t be a funny story in prison… The moral of the story, don’t listen to stolen iPod’s playlist. Or better yet, stay in school, don’t steal!

Here is another game that for iPhone users who love a challenge. The Gravity Shmavity Lite 1.0 has been released today by Panda Mittens, providing a Lite version that includes 5 of 30 original challenges. Users that upgrade to the full version also get access to “Endless” play, as well as the full suite of items and hazards.

Gameplay primarily consists of rotating the iPhone/iPod Touch screen, altering the direction of gravity. Falling apples and other items can then be directed to hit the open, exposed brain of Isaac Newton. Gameplay is further varied by hazards and optional actions by the player, including touching the various power-ups, and shaking the device to cause items to drop faster.

The game also features an up-beat remix of a classic, public-domain recording of a Mozart piano concerto, and combines bright, colorful graphics with a similarly tweaked portrait of Isaac Newton.

Developed with cross-platform development strategies, direct video captures of “Gravity Shmavity” actually show the current tilt of the screen, and further illustrate the gameplay style. Additional information can by found on the “Gravity Shmavity” product page, or by contacting Panda Mittens Software.
