I'll admit it- when I see a new application for my iPod, iPhone, iCar, etc, I'll be the first to download it. However, I'm getting the feeling that Apple is getting a little carried away. Just last week I read in an underground newspaper, the //New York Times//, that two men were killed in an iPhone-related skydiving accident. Both men had downloaded the "iChute App", where one can launch the application and a parachute ejects from the iPhone. Apparently the parachute was far too small to support the weight of a person, and the unfortunate skydivers fell perilously to the ground. Did Apple even test the safety of such an application? Two people are dead because of failed technology! I suppose the company is too powerful to be punished in any way. It just doesn't seem fair to me.

I'm not trying to demean the excellent job our president, Steve Jobs III, is doing in iWorld, but his State of the Union Text was a little absurd. I'm in my iHouse, trying to listen to my iPod while the kids are being watched by the iBabysitter, and I keep receiving these video messages and texts from President Jobs. I don't need to be reminded that the Applecans are trying to maintain office for the 23rd term in a row. I already downloaded my iVote App for the upcoming election. I read about the latest applications from Apple every day in the //Daily Apple.// These messages are absurd- stop bothering me!
