Only the 6th day out…

CRAZY!!@!@!@!@!@!@!

My fart application “Fart For Free” has now gone all the way up to the number 76th spot on the top free applications list. Really really cool.

Kind of tells you how much this country enjoys bathroom humor. I mean hey, a fart can easily make me laugh

I decided to make a free fart application called “Fart For Free”

When I made this, my original intentions were to sell it, but after seeing all the .99 fart applications in the app store, I decided I was gonna make it free and maybe, it would help me out in the end by giving me more publicity.

Well, in the second day of selling “Fart For Free” it has become the 81st most downloaded free app in the entertainment category.

Just on 1/8/09, I had over 3000 units downloaded.

I’m trying not to think about the money I would be getting if I made this .99

Here’s my reaction to Spotify: “Wow”

Spotify is a new music service, in beta, that gives you access to a HUGE music database. In a sentence, you to play/stream any song in the world as if they were on your computer. Imagine searching on iTunes and hearing a preview of a few songs. Spotify is essentially the same, but faster, and full length songs.

You ask, “How is that possible.” Well, Spotify has cut deals with EMI, Warner Music, Sony BMG and three other major labels, which all responded positively to the new concept. Spotify also uses a new kind of P2P technology that allows you to double click a song and have in playing as if it was right on your computer.

There are only a few downsides to Spotify. You cannot download the songs and therefor cannot put the songs on your iPhone or iPod. This is obvious because if you were allowed to do this, lets just say musicians wouldn’t be making nearly as much money as they do now.

Spotify is also in beta. US residents cannot signup for the service due to some legal problems. So, if you’re not in UK, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Spain or France, send me a shout out and ill be sure to give you an invitation.

I will be spending the next week in Trinidad, on the beach. Wish me a safe trip!

Sometimes, Apple’s Mac vs. PC ads go a little bit over the top. This is not the case with the recent release of two christmas ads. These are hilarious. I urge you to watch them both.
