Jersey Shore's resident moneymaker, The Situation, put his iPhone app on the virtual shelves of the Apple App Store today. Just what can you expect from the king of GLT for $5 of your hard-earned money?
The White House has launched an iPhone App. It looks promising but will probably disappoint.
Well here's an iPhone app that'll come in handy for most Gawker readers—Apple has approved something called "Cannabis," and it's awesome!
Yesterday's ViddyHo worm, which spread over Google Talk and Gmail, has been linked by some to Hoan Ton-That, a San Francisco software developer. A very San Francisco software developer.
