It used to be that the Palm Pilot had the most downloadable apps.  Now, it’s different. Palm is dead and the iPhonereigns supreme. When it comes to applications, the iPhone has it all. Even the Windows Mobile phones can’t compete. Don’t believe me? Check out the Apple Store. Or Cydia. Or Installer

Want to control yourDVD? There’s an app for that. Want to find the nearest German bistro? There’s an app for that. Want to record your nosepicking  habits and post them on facebook? Yep, there’s an app for that, too. There’s even a shit program called Poop the World that pooped  its way into Apple’s iPhone App Store. For a dollar, the app combines the iPhone’s GPS power with your own notes to create a public diary of your private business. How sick is that??!

Insane? Def. Pointless? Of course. But delightful? For some sickos- yeah!. I hate to be a party pooper, but let’s face it: Shit apps are becoming commonplace on the iPhone. Wanna know which iphone apps really burp this month? Check it out! Continue Reading »
Top 3 Really Dumb Iphone Apps

I like to sleep snug and cool. If it’s blistering hot, like when I vacationed at Cape Town, I would stay up all night. In a puddle of sweat. This necessitates flipping on my 2.0HP GE air conditioner. It’s not very earth friendly, now is it? I get my cool at the cost of spewing CFCs into our damaged ozone layer. So ultimately, it gets hotter in the world.

So I’m glad that a developer created the Bed Fan to save electricity. Continue Reading »
Review: Get The Bed Fan To Save Electricity

Here’s proof that government does care- well at least sometimes. The UK government mandated that all lamposts be wrapped in nice cushy padding because citizens can’t seem to stop texting for the latest gossip on who’s sleeping with who. Of course that leads to a fair share of cut noggins which can be a drain on the funds of hapless insurance agents. Continue Reading »

Commodity Forex Online Trading

I’m so stressed! Goodness, I just threw my coffee at the busted LCD in the corner of my office. Good thing I got something mindless to do at this weird site that catalogues some of the zaniest things documented on the web.

Mosey over and tell me if it destresses you as well.

Call me jaded, but after relishing vibrance from Altec Lansing and Bose for my 3rd gen Nano, it’s tough to slum it up with a more economical (cheaper) alternative.

The $60 2Go i-5000 is a compact, transforming setup boasting four micro drivers, a three inch bass driver and the antiquated 2.1 system. It’s barebones, so the tech guys, threw in extra value with a remote, and USB /firewire connectivity. This unit chugs well on batteries as well as the plug in charger. With the latter, your ipod gets extra juice for its batts.

Don’t expect sonorous sound quality on this setup. A 25 sqm room is the maximum serviceable area. Beyond that, you’ll feel like someone’s banging on tin cans. Audiophiles won’t give it a second glance.

The 2GO i-5000 feels happiest in an office cubicle or on the front seat of a van on long distance travels. It’s light and bubbly only within confined spaces.

Samsung joins in on the “who’s got the coolest phone” bandwagon with the two-faced F300 and F500. And when I say two-faced, I mean it!

The F300 Ultra Music boasts a plain phone on one side and a music player on the other. Now you can leave the extra weight of that Ipod at home with this baby. You can look cool with slimmer pockets, without sacrificing your perpetual music fix.

But what if you’re a video junkie and lug a video ipod wherever you go? No sweat! The F500 Ultra video descended from the F300 and neatly transforms into a video player. Simply swivel the bottom half to rest on your desktop and whammo! You got yourself a movie player in landscape mode. With a large 2.4 inch color TFT display and DivX video codec support, you can watch Pamela Anderson’s boobs bouncing in full glory.

Who still wants an iPhone now???

Watch what you eat and buy in China. The government’s idea of consumer protection is giving “Certificates of Government Approval” to those rich enough to pay for them. I bet the inspectors never even peek under the hood of what they approve!

You see, I recently visited Guangdong and bought a can of mushrooms. After frying it, I consumed the sickly looking things only to experience severe stomach upsets right after. My guide said (seriously) that manufacturers here tend to use formalin in their food stuffs. Formalin??? Isn’t that to preserve the dead?

The shopping district looked next to Shi’a beckoned to me after the doc pumped me full of medicine so I took a stroll and bought some shirts and jeans. Hmmm… never knew that Prada was spelt “Prrada” and Louis Vuitton sold as “Luis Veeton” here. Quality matched the poor spelling: the darn things started shrinking after a good wash.

Sigh. Any horror stories from fellows visiting this consumer unfriendly land?

After all the glowing reviews, I made a purchase from this pheromone site that promises me feel-good vibes- not just for myself, but also for people around me.

I liked the product when it did arrive. I felt super! It’s literally like Prozac perfume. No matter how stressed I am, wearing this scientific cologne gives me kicks.

The bad side is it took these people almost 2 months to deliver. Now that’s unacceptable. I suggest buying from speedier, more customer-friendly sites, like lovescent.

I learned at Search Engine Guide that Yahoo. released a new version of YM. Are you a YM fan? You’ll probably appreciate the new features:

Updated Contact List Look – Contact avatars are larger than it was before, users can hover on individual contacts to send IM, SMS or Call.

Yahoo Messenger 9.0- Revival?

I just came across GlobalWholesaling and couldn’t believe my eyes. LV goes for $200. Prada for $80. Could these be original??

Smelling a fish behind the too-good-to-be-true offers, I fired up Google before swiping the Visa.

Whew. Saved by the big G. Turns out this site is owned by one guy who runs a network selling knockoff products straight out of China (hmmm.. these bags might explode or expel noxious fumes).

If GlobalWholesaling wants to sell, let it advertise with a conscience. Let the buyers know they are obtaining replicas. The business then generates trust even though its products aren’t particularly laudable.

I’m aspirational. I work for the better things in life. My dreams include a Harvard degree for my future kids, a Camry for work, a nice Tag Heur Watch and a cozy home of 900 sq ft with a 2 car garage. Get these and I know I’ve made it.

Some people, on the other hand, don’t know when enough is enough. On Yahoo Monster Homes, you’d find opulance to the point of vulgarity. Can you imagine a bathroom 100sq ft large? Or a living room sprawling over 300 sq ft? I’m breathless… in disappointment. Not that I’m envious. No. I’m disgusted at the thought of all the energy required to heat and cool those homes. And imagine all the illegal migrants required to maintain these palaces.

These home go counter to the principles of austerity, practicality and discipline that the government endeavors to promote. It’s another blackeye for us Americans- showing to the global community how indifferent we are to the world’s scarcity

The Sauna Belt joins a long line of crap products that claim to sweat away unwanted fat, eliminate cellulite, lose weight and ease muscle pain, all while sitting in the comfort of your own home. How does it work? The Velform Sauna Belt focuses the sauna heat on problematic body parts to ‘help’ flush out and eliminate toxins. Wait, there’s more! This portable sauna belt is great for the abdomen, waist, back and hips. Just apply the Velform Sauna Belt around the chosen body part and let the belt do all the work.

If it works as its operating principles claim, then harried housewives should be thin as supermodels after all, they’re hunched over hot dryers, hot stoves and hot gardens all day. Continue Reading »
