New IPhone App: TigerText

When I first read this I thought it would just be texts that Tiger Woods sent to his skanks, but as I read on I found out it is way better. This app allows users to set a time limit on how long a text that they send will hang around after it has been read. When that lifespan has been exceeded, the message will disappear from the recipient's phone, the sender's phone and any servers. The message cannot be forwarded anywhere, stored anywhere or sold to any tabloids for an undisclosed sum.

Let me start off by says that every celebrity in the world should have this. Think about it. How many celebrities have gotten in trouble because of text messages? I mean it is really an endless list, so this is just a great fucking idea for them.

Beyond that anyone who has a girlfriend should get this. We all know that there is a time that you'll shoot a text to a former lover, and even if it is something as harmless as a "happy birthday", it is not going to go over well. So my suggestion is everyone should get this app.

"Sexist" IPhone App

"Energy drinks are meant to be edgy and cool, and drunk by young men. So PepsiCo Inc. decided to release an Apple iPhone application for its Amp Energy drink to appeal to guys out on the prowl. Now the snack and beverage giant is facing a storm of criticism for "Amp Up Before You Score." The app, released last Friday, purports to help men pick up any one of 24 types of women, such as the "sorority girl," "cougar," "rebound girl" or "punk rock girl." Users can choose the type of woman they have their eye on, then get coached on facts that might be useful, such as computing a carbon footprint to impress "the treehugger."

Suggested pick-up lines can be risqué. To pick up "the artist," the app recommends the following line: "You know the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. I wonder what else she shaves (FoxNews)."

You know what pisses me off about this story? If this was for a woman and it was how to hit on some rich guy there would be no problem, but since it is for guys there has to be a hissy fit thrown. It is a big fucking joke women, chill out.

Oh by the way, "You know the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. I wonder what else she shaves" is a great line.

iPhone For Stalkers

Chinese Worker Kills Self Over Missing iPhone

"An employee at a factory that makes iPhones in China killed himself after a prototype went missing, and Apple Inc. responded Wednesday by saying its suppliers are required to treat workers with dignity and respect (FoxNews)."

Well the Chinese always have honor. Honestly if this was a guy in the US he would lie till he was either fired, in jail, or got away with it. In China? They kill themselves...I wonder if he did it with a sword?

New iPhone Sucks

"The new Apple iPhone 3GS is hot. So hot, in fact, that Apple has built in a kill switch that won't let you use it once it hits 113 degrees.Reports began circulating online last week that the latest iteration of the iPhone got noticeably warmer than its predecessors. And photos popped up on a French tech blog of iPhones so hot their white exteriors were glowing pink.

Then two respected American tech reporters confirmed the rumors were true -- because it had personally happened to them.

"At some point, I became aware the handset had become very hot," wrote PC World's Melissa J. Perenson on Friday. "Very, very hot -- not just on the back, but the entire length of the front face, too." "One does not ... expect to reach under one's pillow and find an iPhone that passes for a handwarmer," wrote her colleague David Coursey on Monday (FoxNews)."


People made a big deal out of this new phone coming out, but it sounds like it is more trouble then it is worth. I try not to buy things that are "bran new", because I always feel like there is a ton of problems when a product first comes out. Anyways, felt like this was a good heads-up don't buy till they correct this problem....

No Jiggling Breasts On iPhone

"The "iBoobs" application was rejected because Apple deemed it "objectionable content," the U.K.'s Register tech blog reported. The iBoobs application is a computer animation of a large pair of breasts in a bikini top. Shaking the iPhone makes them wobble from side to side, or up and down, depending on the movement (FoxNews)."

Haha, great story. I think this is a bad move by Apple, this would have been very popular, and a good classroom gag. Imagine the pitch behind this. "Listen we have been brain storming, and we got the next big thing...jiggling breasts on the iPhone". Oh man, it would be great to see that pitch, but I wonder if they ever had to get a woman to sign off on this. My guess is no.
