Whilst many of you may misconstrue my socialist nation as a key indicator of my political leanings I tend to be rather centrist. What's that you say? I snub my nose at the free market economy and objectivism? Because I pirate stuff? Nay, I too have wasted money whilst sitting on the toilet with my iPhone, which is I might add my current place of publication of this update!
So, app store crap, what's the dub? I'd love to get a bit of feedback (tweet @bashpr0mpt) about your experience with apps, purchased and free. I've bought numerous crappy apps that sound great, but weren't.
My main gripe with the app store is the amount of IDENTICAL games sold as different games all based off the mafia wars model, rock bands, vampires, zombies, racing, high school, all the same bloody crap rebadged and rehashed. Apple need to rm -rf anything with 'farm' or 'wars' in it's title IMHO.
Last Day of Work have given me compartment syndrome from toilet seats with their inane yet quirky and addictive series of games, many of which you can grab at flash games locales online–but hey iPhones and iPods don't support flash–but also available for a small price (a few bucks) in the app store and horribly addictive. Most centre on a closed economic system with very limited upgrade models but the realms or theatres of the game are persistant.
Persistant realms are nothing new but make IRL timelines interesting, or in the case of idiots like me merely make you roll your phones clock forwards to get that instant fix.
I tried Sim City, addictive but buggy and crashes lots after you get your city big. Also tried Sims 3, it was as absolutely crap as the insanely limited Sims 2 for the PSP which has a low playability, low graphics, sound, gameplay and replayability if you ask me. Those, sadly, cost more for one than ALL the LDOW publications available.
So, your turn. What have you played that's fun and … well, not crap?

Oral stigmata, not a pleasant affliction, yet none the less this long winded 'objectivist' philosopher cross author cross failed script writer is back, in pog form.
Okay, so that was a lie, but there's a movie version of Atlas Shrugged scheduled for release in 2011. Even IMDB's review of the synopsis is longwinded: -
Based upon the controversial 1957 novel by Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged follows the struggles of Dagny Taggart, a railroad heiress trying to maintain her integrity, and keep her family's railroad alive in the midst of a rapidly decaying world. She faces increasingly corrupt government agencies, the callous incompetence of her own brother, and the systematic loss of her best and most competent workers. As she works to overcome each obstacle, she begins to detect a pattern, and suspect a sinister force working against her. All across the country, there is a growing sense of helplessness, often summed up in a catch phrase that everyone seems to know, but no one knows the origin of – Who is John Galt?. One by one, the best and brightest industrialists in the country are disappearing overnight, without a trace, and abandoning their businesses to be cannibalized by corrupt political interests. But many are disappearing just as she needs them most, leading her to realize that someone, some destroyer, is keeping just ahead of her, and is working against her. As she wonders what he could be telling these men – to get them to give up everything and disappear – she knows she must somehow beat him if she wants Taggart Transcontinental to survive.
She pursues the mystery cross country looking for clues to the destroyer, and also to find the inventor of a revolutionary motor she found in a trash pile of an abandoned industrial lab. As the world sinks further into decay, she knows her time for saving her railroad, and maybe staving off the collapse of the world around her, is growing short. However, the revelations she seeks will ultimately challenge her views, and force her to decide between fighting in her world, or leaving everything she's valued behind.

Earlier, underworld figure Mick Gatto said he had heard unconfirmed rumours about Williams having died but said that was all he had heard.
“I would rather let dead dogs lie,” he said.
“If you hear any more let me know but I would rather not comment on him.”
He said Williams was “certainly not” a friend.
Victorian Premier John Brumby said he wouldn't comment on the death until he had more details.
Williams, who was serving a 35-year prison sentence for several murders, was a key player in Melbourne's brutal underworld war that claimed about 30 lives and took police more than a decade to bring under control.
In sentencing Williams, Supreme Court judge Betty King said there were “no other appropriate penalties for crimes of this nature, gangland executions carried out … in the presence of frightened men, women and children”.
Justice King said she was concerned Williams could become a cult hero.
“You are a killer, and a cowardly one who employed others to do the actual killing,” the judge said. Police payroll
Meanwhile, it was revealed today by the Herald Sun that police paid the private school fees for Williams' daughter.
The $8000 payment was made by Victoria Police command for Williams' child to attend a top private school.
A letter written by the Victorian Government Solicitor's Office, and signed by its managing principal solicitor in February, shows police admit they paid for Williams' daughter to attend the school.
Williams' lawyer Rob Stary said he spoke to Williams about 9am today about the revelations in the Herald Sun .
Mr Stary said he and Williams talked “about how disturbed we were that material was being leaked to the press”.
“Of course he was (upset),” Mr Stary said.
“It exposes his daughter to risk. Of course he was concerned about that. He was not concerned about his own wellbeing, he was concerned about her.
“I just hope that justice prevails.”
The letter also showed that Victoria Police offered to pay a $750,000 debt owed to the tax office by George Williams, as first revealed by the Herald Sun in February.
The Herald Sun was unable, for legal reasons, to outline why the school fee payment was made.
Roberta Williams has remained tight-lipped about the payments.
“I've got no comment about that, but you have a great night,” Ms Williams said.
The State Government and Victoria Police command refused to comment about the school payment.
Opposition crime prevention spokesman Andrew McIntosh said Premier John Brumby and Police Minister Bob Cameron should explain why Victorian taxpayers picked up the bill. With AAP and the Herald Sun
The source said the new camera would be higher-res and have a flash, while the 4G's screen would also be higher-res and the phone would take a MicroSIM card.
Photos leaked on Twitpic back in February show a new button on the side of the phone which may confirm the rumours of the MicroSIM card addition, but Apple is claiming the photos have been faked , despite their similarity to the mysterious iPhone seen sitting on the iPad in Engadget's photo.
A game retailer revealed that it legally owns the souls of thousands of online shoppers, thanks to a clause in their terms and conditions. FOXNews.com reported the retailer, British firm GameStation, added the “immortal soul clause” to the contract shoppers signed before making any online purchases earlier this month.
It states that customers grant the company the right to claim their soul.
“By placing an order via this Web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions.”
GameStation's form also points out that “we reserve the right to serve such notice in 6 (six) foot high letters of fire, however we can accept no liability for any loss or damage caused by such an act. If you a) do not believe you have an immortal soul, b) have already given it to another party, or c) do not wish to grant Us such a license, please click the link below to nullify this sub-clause and proceed with your transaction.”
The terms of service were updated on April Fool's Day as a gag, but the retailer did so to make a very real point.
They said no one reads the online terms and conditions of shopping and companies are free to insert whatever language they want into the documents.
The company noted that it would not be enforcing the ownership rights and planned to email customers nullifying any claim on their soul.
For more switched on American's this is good news, as Goldman Sachs utilised the GFC and government funds to exploit American tax payers, with tax payers money they bought out people's homes that were foreclosed and sold them back into the market with a massive markup months later, shafting everyone along the way. Excerpt below: -
A US watchdog has charged top Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs with financial fraud and raised the prospect of a wider crackdown.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in a civil suit, accused Goldman of “defrauding investors by misstating and omitting key facts” about a product based on sub-prime mortgage-backed securities.
The securities were a key contributor to the financial crisis that peaked in 2008 because many contained risky mortgages.
The SEC said Goldman failed to tell investors that a major hedge fund which helped put together the so called collateralised debt obligation (CDO), was at the same time betting against it.
Online entrepreneur Daniel Tzvetkoff faces 75 years in a US prison after being charged in relation to $584 million money -laundering scheme.
The 27-year-old was arrested in Las Vegas on Friday and appeared in a federal court, where he was detained until a bail hearing on Wednesday (US time).
A relative unknown only two years ago, Ipswich-born Tzvetkoff shot to prominence in 2008 as the founder of online payment processing company Intabill.
Tzvetkoff's lawyer, Mace Yampolsky, told The Sunday Mail his client was “distraught” and would apply for bail.
According to a 15-page indictment, Tzvetkoff faces charges of money laundering, money laundering conspiracy, gambling conspiracy and bank fraud conspiracy.
Prosecutors from the US Attorney's Office allege Tzvetkoff assisted illegal online gambling companies to launder about $US540 million ($A584 million) into offshore accounts.
Tzvetkoff allegedly duped banks – which have bans on internet credit card gambling – into believing the gambling transactions were actually ordinary transactions.
He was then able to use what is known as the “Automated Clearing House system” (ACH) to run hundreds of millions of dollars between the US and a web of companies in the British Virgin Islands.
Emails obtained by the FBI, and detailed in the indictment, allege an unnamed co-conspirator boasted they had hired programmers to develop “unique” websites for shelf companies so if someone was “checking the companies out there is absolutely no way to tie the companies together”.
A minute later, Tzvetkoff replied: “This is all perfect!”, authorities allege.
At its peak, Intabill employed 120 people in its Milton office.
Tzvetkoff made The Sunday Mail's 2008 Rich List, with a personal wealth of $82 million and appeared to have it all – including an 18-month-old son and partner.
But his world rapidly unravelled last year, when he was hit with a $100 million law suit by business partner Sam Sciacca.
But now he faces an even more serious fight, far away from the rolling surf of the Gold Coast. According to the indictment, he created a number of shelf companies in the British Virgin Islands – complete with phony websites and unrelated names.
Emails in the document allege Tzvetkoff took a lead role in telling Intabill employees to lie to banks about the business .
Another email by Tzvetkoff directed an employee to “buy some shelf companies that the BVI's (apparently a reference to the British Virgin Islands) will own . 。 。 We need to then rename each company to be called something process related.”
Tzvetkoff's father, Kim Tzvetkoff, said he was unaware of the unfolding events surrounding his son. “We will do everything we can to support Daniel,” he said.

I came across an article by a journalist recently that discussed the abuse of child abuse and the utilisation of it as an excuse for poor life choices, below is a pungent passage that really outlines how these anti-abuse crusaders are truly batshit insane, direct link to the article after the excerpt: -
In her autobiography, In The Best Interests of the Child, Hetty Johnston, founder of Bravehearts and unquestionably Australia's most prominent voice on child sexual assault, documents three childhood incidents that, as far as she is concerned, place her within the realm of the abused: the first sees Hetty and her sisters returning from the beach one day when “a man stepped out of a public toilet that happened to be situated in a park on our route and dropped his towel to reveal his nakedness”; the second takes place at the beach also, when an argument with an unknown adult results in the man slapping young Hetty in the face “so hard that I could only see stars for about five minutes”; and the third involves a man at an indoor pool who, while playfully throwing children in the pool, places “a hand in my crutch as he thrust me skyward.
“For me,” Hetty writes, “these occurrences have not left any indelible imprint but they do raise an interesting point. Statistically speaking, I had become the 'one in four' girls who had been sexually assaulted before the age of eighteen. But these were statistics I was to discover later in life. Right now, I was just a kid trying to negotiate the adult world. No big deal really.”
This passage is striking. Not only does it reveal to us the relatively commonplace occurrences that pass for “child sexual assault” in the minds of today's crusaders, but it exposes them as incidents that, as unsavoury as they may be, are almost rites of passage for children of the modern world, blown off as “no big deal” by Hetty Johnston herself, one of the hottest, angriest winds in the current storm of hysteria. Could all this fear and counter-fear be about something which, for the most part, is nothing to get excited about?
