The Iphone Was Nice Before It Cured Erectile Dysfunction
Its a lazy Saturday, like any other. Actually, maybe some of you have busy Saturdays. Whatever. Its lazy on this end. As such, Im about to showcase an iPhone app. No, really, youll love this.
Were all at this point well familiar with the App Stores unfathomably arbitrary approval process, but this app dares to posit the dawning of a new echelon for iPhone shovelware. What does it do? It cures erectile dysfunction, of course.
Fire Up Your Sex Drive is amazing, and I mean that in the ironic hipster way. Just For Male! the app pitches with a clear disregard for English grammar, This application could vastly enhance your male power! My male power. Surely they mean my ability to grunt and lift things and eat sandwiches from a metal lunchbox among the scaffolding of an unfinished skyscraper with my manfriends as we trade stories about hot broads with which we would like to engage in extramarital affairs.
Apparently, though, they dont. Just listen to the audio for 6 minutes everyday, and after 20 days your male sexuality will be enhanced for more than 85%! The effect is close to taking a viagra! Thats right: FUYSD plays an audio recording. Specifically, a high pitched alpha wave that could stimulate your brain to adjust endocrine system and produce some male sex hormone [emphasis mine, terrible grammar not].
Thank goodness the world has this app. There really is nothing the iPhone cant do. No task too big, no organ too flaccid. Im interested to know who among Apples crack app approval team squad force decided to take up the task of thoroughly looking a this app before letting it out the door. It takes a big man to admit his ED, and a bigger man to do something about it.
Boner.
There, I said it.
Seesmic For Iphone Launches
Seesmic has finally released their iPhone app, you can get it here.
The app has been in development for some time now, at least since late last year. Seesmic CEO @loic has mentioned the app in the past but only to say it was not ready. He also went on to say something like he wanted it to be perfect. Of course some might argue Tweetie (now the official Twitter iPhone app) was already perfect. Those folks might even be right. However if this app isnt perfect its pretty damn close.
The main UI consists of something Seesmic is calling spaces. In some sense it feels like a mini social OS, or in this case mobile OS.Similarto the home screen of the iPhone, you have a grid of tiles you can move around and rearrange as you see fit. Each tile can connect to things like a Twitter account, Facebook login and even things like Twitter searchqueries.
Seesmic Spaces
Im still poking around and getting to know the Seesmic iPhone app. You can check it outyourselfnow in the app store and watch the below video for the guided tour. If you look closely you might even see a lalawag tweet pass by.

Apple To Prolong Ticketing Ambitions To Travel House
Apple’s interest in ticketing may go well beyond music, a newly-published patent application suggests. The USPTO recently disclosed Apple’s ideas on Concert Ticket +, an iPhone app which would form the heart of an event ticketing system linked to iTunes, kiosks and physical passes. The new filing revolves around another proposed app, called iTravel, which would serve a similar purpose for boat, bus, train and airline trips.
Users would not only be able to make reservations, but share the information with others, and accomplish related tasks like check-in, baggage claim and car rentals. The app could also become a form of ID, working in tandem with a local server or web service to access photos, retinal scans and/or fingerprints. An iPhone’s camera could be used to scan and import ticket data from documents.
Full implementation of Apple’s concept would be dependent on near-field communications (NFC) technology, allowing a handheld to interact directly with a kiosk, baggage system, boarding gate or even security checkpoint. This could suggest the addition of an RFID receiver to future iPhones, particularly as the patent describes possible paper tickets with embedded RFID tags. Some form of NFC could be used to exchange information with a personal computer like an iMac, which might have its own travel software.
