You know there’s an Iphone App for everything when see – Plumber Crack
There are two people in this world:
Those that have Iphones or Ipads and those that pretend that the alternative is just as groovy (yes they are the ones who still use the word groovy)
Of those who have Iphones there are those who use it as a phone (I’m pretty sure that around the globe there are at least two such people, maybe in Bulgaria).
All the rest belong to the category who have downloaded 25 billion apps and counting. That’s a lot of apps. That’s a lot of anything period.
Of those people, there are those who download only business apps (yes More >
O.K. so I may be a dying species, actually I am a dying species but lets not get into that here. So many things have disappeared from the world or been reinvented during the last couple of years to make the gems of my youth seem to be historic artifacts. With the global youth movement to computer games (that sounds like a political party doesn’t it?) I suppose it was only natural that the Monopoly shoehorn would find itself animated in the mobile version of the game. I used to love counting the paper money and hoarding the red hotels More >
IPhone App of the Year: Flipboard
Ever so often an application comes by that makes you life easier or much more pleasant. Over the years a few such applications of different breeds made us step back and say WOW!. Such was Super Mario, such was the affect Excel had when you first upgraded from Lotus, such is Flipboard. Originally released for IPad and now available for IPhone too, this beautifully designed App almost revolutionizes the world of newspapers all on its own. Over the past couple of years there have been many attempts at creating digital newspapers. All of them tried to mash together sources and More >

Top IPhone Apps I hope we never see
There seem these days to be Iphone apps for almost anything. Anybody with half an idea joins the club and gets it published, hoping that out there there is an audience as stupid as he is who will happily part with ninety nine cents for an application that shows you what you will like like after gaining twenty kilos or tracks your bowel movements (Google Poop the World if you don’t believe me!) In a world that seems to embrace insanity every day, here are a few apps that I hope never get marketed.

Mr Gizmos
Once upon a time (no it’s alright I promise not to start a fairy tale parody here) I had two walls full of books that I hadn’t read since college, side by side with great art books that I had picked up over the years and felt sure would make great conversation pieces. Next to Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tale – yes I’m sure to reread that one day – stood the complete works of Wordsworth and a dusty over-sized edition of Raphael’s paintings that I had picked up at the Vatican. I’ve always thought that it was a sin to throw away More >
Everything’s Talking At Me
Imagine if Harry Nilsson was a Japanese singer by the name if Heri Neil-san. Then his updated version of Everybody’s Talking would probably go something like this:
Everything is talking at me from traffic lights that say “Please cross” While the humans here all chose to play it dumb. The ATMs are all so friendly Thanking me for taking their money, Even my anti-virus won’t keep mum.

Here in Japan, the people just whisper But machines are left to go wild And “elebetors” have attitudes that can bite. As you sit in the loo, it talks to you too and trucks tell you when they turn right, While the train stations More >
How the Japanese keep cool in summer
The crises in Japan has caused a lot of concern worldwide. Here in Tokyo, however, what seems to worry the citizens more than anything else is the need to cut down electricity usage which at many work places means little or no air-conditioning. Outside of going into the office naked – not really company policy over here – here are some of the cooler ways (pun intended) to keep cool this summer.

New Inventions that are Sure to Take your Breath Away
New inventions that are sure to change our lives in the new decade.
1.The flying popcorn crusher. This revolutionary device is likely to become all the fad at cineplexes around the globe. It looks innocent enough when hiding in the front pocket of your shirt, but when you release the safety clip it hovers above your head in search of movie goers eating popcorn n your vicinity. When its radar vision locks on an offender it attacks and pulverizes the remaining popcorn enabling you to enjoy the rest of the movie without further distraction.
2.M.P.D. (Mobile Phone Destroyer). This darling robot dog, More >
