Gin n GyroscopePosted in Entertainment on 21 Jun 2010

Of all the things I thought the gyroscope could be used for on the upcoming iPhone 4, I failed to anticipate this. DrunkOMeter will hit the App Store around the time of the iPhone 4 release, and will utilize the gyroscope to measure exactly how hard you have been partying. To use this app, all you have to do is complete three simple tasks when sober and then again after you’ve had some drinks — the difference in how wobbly you are is an indicator of how drunk you must be. But the fun does not stop there. The DrunkOMeter will also stop you from calling, texting, or emailing exes, use Google Maps to show you the good and bad places to pick up late-night snacks, allow you to update your Facebook status with how drunk you are, integrate with Foursquare to give you special badges for your drunkeness, alert you if theTwitter messages you send are abusive or slutty, and enable you to send desperate cries for help to your buddies.

Everyone knows the (fairly) old addage “time is money” and as we get better and better at managing our money, we’re growing more attached to this idea. But these days money moves so fast and the economy changes so quickly, we cannot keep up. The stock of a company might take years to build up, and could plummet 25% in the time it takes to get coffee. To protect investments and make sure that we don’t lose something that has taken years to build up, people need to have immediate and direct access to information regarding the stock market. Of course there’s an app for that (a free app at that!). |

YouTube Killed TelevisionPosted in Entertainment on 18 Jun 2010

While apps may have started off, back in the day, with more of a utility focus, it safe to say that entertainment is taking it over. As we gain more and more access to shows and movies online, apps come out that allow us to access them as well, ensuring we always have entertainment at our fingertips, no matter where we are. The same is now also going for specific YouTube channels — even though there is the general YouTube app, people become so crazed by specific YouTube phenomena that there are apps specifically made for them. This makes sense, as many YouTube channels are just as entertaining, if not more so, than many shows that exist on the air. Read the rest of this entry » |

Craigslist is many things to many people. For some it’s a marketplace where anything and everything they need is at hand (for a price); for others it’s a dark place that hides within it shady, underhanded, and often times disturbingly hilarious dealings. Whatever it may seem to people, the one thing that is certain is that it has become a major phenomenon on the internet. Whether you’re looking for something to buy, some help, or someone to talk to, Craigslist will have it covered, making it one of the most widely appealing websites out there. And now it’s available as an app for the iPhone. |

Not So Angry BirdsPosted in Games on 18 Jun 2010

It has recently been brought to my attention that the #1 paid app on the iPhone app store, Angry Birds, has over 60,000 ratings, 54,000 of which have merited 5 stars…and these numbers keep climbing. Ridiculous. Imagine — even though the app is only $0.99, if the people who actually took the time to rate and review it are only a fraction of the users out there, this app is making bank! So, of course, I just had to download the game to see why Angry Birds is causing such a fuss. And, naturally, I wanted so badly to defy the popular vote and dislike it; I couldn’t.
