Yesterday developer Armin Heinrich posted an iPhone app to the App Store called I Am Rich. The program displays a red gem, has no function but to display your wealth to others through ownership, and costs $1000. It has since been removed from the App Store, although no one knows whether Apple or Heinrich pulled it. I Am Rich isn't the most clever piece of art, but it's not bad either. For some, the iPhone ...

Hilarious! too funny and a great way to mock the rich losers who buy iPhone as a status symbol. (I totally bought it for the functionality blah blah.. ) ;) Me? I bought it primarily for its prettiness. Shiny over useful, indeed.

Lei é o diabo. Regulamentação de lei, idem. No início deste ano, o ministro Ari Pardendler, do TSE, soltou a resolução 9.504 que proibia qualquer candidato de ter mais de um site na rede para a campanha. Isto inviabilizaria, sugeri na época, que um candidato tivesse seu site e pusesse, por exemplo, um filmete no YouTube. Afinal, a página do YouTube e a página de campanha constituiriam dois sites. Assim, a campanha na Internet estaria ...

Since I was on a plane on the 4th of July, and because Apple releases the new iphone today, I thought I'd do a little nod to Americana and all things consumer and awesome. Actually, it's Steve Schofield's nod, in his project The Land of the Free. Hint: He's a Brit.From his statement: "My practice is concerned with exploring the fascination that the British public has with American popular culture and the sub-cultural world of ...

Filed under: Software, FreewareAre you tired of being distracted by the internet? Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Google Earth could all be considered "distractions" or "time wasters." So, if you're looking to get some work done without physically un-pluging from the internet then Freedom might be what you need. Freedom allows you to set a time limit for internet access. For instance, if I need to set aside 30 minutes for a project that doesn't require ...

Filed under: Freeware I often find myself in need of a the digital equivalent of a scratch pad: just an open text-field to jot down a phone number, save some text for a blog comment, etc. These are not really things I want to save, so I don't want to open a word processor or even use the snippet manager of my choice (Yojimbo). So Scribblet appeals to me in its focus on one basic ...
