I guess when broadcast news starts reporting that iPhone Apps are addictive - you know that it must be a slow news day. I caught this in a cab on Taxi TV while heading downtown and it was probably one of the dumbest things I have watching in a long time. This 2 minute news blurb on how iPhone Apps are addictive. I honestly couldn't believe how staged this 'news' piece looked and how they could get some quack specialist to actually comment on such a topic. Then the media wants to know why they are slowly becoming irrelevant. Check out the

Whether you know it or not, the iPhone has one of the highest SAR values on the market. That means that it everytime you use your iPhone you're immersing your head in radiation.

With average use you probably don't get more than a day out of your iPhone, and generally that can be fine, since your day is over and you can let charge while you sleep.

Then you have to worry about finding a place to charge your iPhone... what a hassle! I can't count how many times I've found  myself scrambling for an AC outlet so that I could recharge my iPhone. Wouldn't it be great if your battery could last longer? That is where Mophie comes to the rescue!

Whenever a new feature-packed computer or cellphone comes out I always ask "Does it go to the bathroom too?" Well with the iPoop, it sorta does. This new app will allow folks to evaluate their poo and determine whether they are on a healthy diet or not. You are encouraged to do number 2 and then stare at it and compare it to three categories: frequency, color and shape.  Depending on your entry, the App will tell you if you should make any corrections to improve your health. I can picture many iPhones falling into toliet bowls after this App is installed.
