Dick Cheney & iPhone Apps

1. Apple today removed a controversial app from their store that simulates shaking a baby to death. "Babyshaker" shows a crying baby that will only stop crying after the user violently shakes his/her iPhone. Apple apologized for allowing the app, saying, "It should never have been released, and naturally it should have come after the 'Unprotected Drunken Sex In A Meth Addicts '89 Tempo' app."

2. Facebook held an unprecedented week-long vote which concluded today concerning the site's Terms of Service (TOS). Facebook users voted on a number of changes for the governance of the site. The TOS includes new items like 1) no unauthorized use of user photos by Facebook, 2) updated privacy setting options to sure up security, and 3) the prohibition of deceptively hot profile photos used by ugly people.

3. The AP obtained Iraqi government statistics which records 87,215 violent Iraqi deaths since 2005. The figure was always a guarded secret with the Bush administration, but the AP at last uncovered the figure by counting the tick marks on Dick Cheney's bedroom wall.

4. On Thursday, 21 horses died unexpectedly during polo's US Open at the International Polo Club in Palm Beach. The horses were supposed to be supplied with a common compound supplement that was presumably mixed incorrectly. The pharmacy technicians responsible for prepping the drug apologized profusely saying the dose given to the horses was meant for an Amy Winehouse/Courtney Love studio collaboration.

5. It was reported today that cost cutting has helped Microsoft's profits remain stable even with a steep loss in revenue. The news bodes well for the release of Microsoft's next operating system Windows 7 in 2010, and the many security flaw fixes for Windows 7 in the minutes that follow.

High five.
