Thanks Mary! I'm glad you enjoyed my holiday cheer. I think we can find weird and unnecessary apps for every season and occasion. I'm researching 2012 election-related applications right now to help get us through the winter.
Thanks for a great vid, Nicole! A fun part of the holidays this year was the unearthing of creepy Santas, weird apps, and other holiday detritus. Surely, part of the season is having a few laughs!
And now that it's January and officially winter, we'll need all the laughs we can get.
Nice job pointing that out, Susan and Chris. I suppose these are four-star apps if you're the kind of person who needs Christmas mania in the palm of your hand. Context is key!
Like i always say....these are the days when anything goes.the app stores and and Android market are choke full of holiday hysteria from live snowfall wallpaper to connect the dots santa crazy santa videos and oh even a talking santa meets ginger, the point is that the app developers know they can sell people crap on holiday season and get away with it. And since the users are in a festive mood anyways they'll be generous enough to give the app 10 stars if they could.
I have been thinking hard about this and I couldn't figure out what is more scary, if the developers who "created" these apps or the people who gave the apps 4 stars! Wow! You might think they are really good. :D
Nicole, in mentioning ratings, you failed to reveal the blithering idiots who gave overwhelming satisfactory ratings to those fist 2 Christmas apps. Please let's roll over the calendar and hope for some miracle that things will begin to swing in the right direction in 2012.
Nicole and Kim have heard the news that Google's new mobile OS, "Jelly Bean," has a voice assistant that's poised to defeat their precious Siri. It's time for another test!
Apple's newest commercial features actress Zooey Deschanel having her requests for weather, soup, and music easily fulfilled by Siri. Nicole and Kim are putting those same questions to the test.
At the IBM Pulse conference, executives urged attendees to stop being guided by hype and start thinking about the cloud and other enterprise "toys" in terms of their own business outcomes.
Do you want to immerse yourself in the details of the royal wedding of William and Kate, neither of whom will ever know you in real life? Well, now there’s actually an app for that. How sad.
We think Amazon's Kindle Fire is pushing Apple to a smaller iPad format. But Sony's Vita and the interest in a small device for portable gaming may create the real threat. Keep your eye on the tablet-gaming space!
Based on reactions in Nicole's Newsfeed, everyone hates this version of Facebook. This should matter to Facebook now that there's a real competitor on the scene named Google+.
Allowing users to share music and video on Facebook might sound like good news, but is this part of a coherent strategy, or is Facebook just stumbling from idea to idea?
