- britblogger, on 09/17/2008, -4/+27as a Blackberry owner for some time, how exactly is this meant to piss me off?
It's a ***** moving graphic of a flame. Not something I'm going to miss when I need a handheld to help me run by business on the go.
nice gimmick, but that's all it is. over-hyped. - nrox653, on 09/17/2008, -1/+23I wonder if they could make an app that would actually overheat the iPhone and let it catch on fire.
- skabyss, on 09/17/2008, -0/+20I thought so too
- nicepants, on 09/17/2008, -1/+20As a blackberry user I can say that this is definitely going to piss me off every time I wish that I could have a pretend lighter and use it to pretend to light other pretend lighters on fire.
- somekids, on 09/17/2008, -0/+18This is one of the dumbest and most useless apps I've ever seen.
- Kragnerac, on 09/17/2008, -0/+16Well said. You deserve a Pulitzer.
- JasonQG, on 09/17/2008, -2/+153G telecom company, so it's "research."
- username7410, on 09/17/2008, -0/+13Busy day at the office?
- theragu40, on 09/17/2008, -0/+10If this got through, what were some of the rejected apps?
- ScottyDelicious, on 09/17/2008, -1/+11You know what would make you feel better?... An iPhone!
- JasonQG, on 09/16/2008, -1/+10Very cool Tried this with a co-worker, and it actually works. But it did take us a while to figure out how. Be sure that both people are holding down the "valve" button.
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -0/+9wow I am digging this article and you just for your profound statement.
- YancyFryJr, on 09/17/2008, -2/+10How about something practical? Why is it necessary that you make yourself look like more of a douche with your iPhone? How is it that iPhone owners (and Mac users in general) aren't happy with their product unless a) they're shoving it down everyone's throats and b) everyone knows how great it is in comparison to their PC/BlackBerry/Whatever?
"See, look, it has a flame! How do you like them apples, BlackBerry owners?! I'm going to go grab a table at the Starbucks and blog about this!!!!" - shutaro, on 09/17/2008, -0/+8Good point.
- AndrewMoyer, on 09/17/2008, -0/+7The WIFI subsystem seems to come close.
- Albumen, on 09/17/2008, -1/+7I find this comment totally offensive. You sir should go to HELL!!!
- mrBitch, on 09/17/2008, -1/+7@ncc74656m RE: " Yes, it will piss me off. I have a Blackberry and a SideKick. "
Wow, you have BOTH a Blackberry AND a SideKick?
That must REALLY piss you off, huh? - AndrewDB, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5The ipod owners think it'll piss us off because their ipods are trying to be like our Blackberries.
Too bad our blackberries were invented by John McCain! - shutaro, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4iBomb?
- shutaro, on 09/17/2008, -1/+5There's no comparison... Unless it's some kind of glowing rice.
- mjwhip, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4If you induce it, would it still be spontaneous?
- sykotic, on 09/17/2008, -2/+6You know it will happen. Just like cell phones themselves replaced lighters.
- ModernDayDarwin, on 09/17/2008, -1/+5I'm curious about this too, why am I supposed to be mad?
- LucerinRed, on 09/17/2008, -1/+5Whoever invented this is going to be a millionare. If the Pet Rock has taught us anything, millions of people will pay inexpensive amounts for novelty products. But millions of people x inexpensive amount = expensive amount.
Now if I can just get my patent on the jump to conclusions welcome mat. - clbw, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3As an owner of an Iphone I can't see the big deal with this APP. Why not digg about the Tight VNC, or the Air Sharing APPS. They are more useful.
The VPN on this phone is handy, I originally thought VPN and the VNC would be useless but as it has turned out it has come in handy. - crossDborder731, on 09/16/2008, -5/+8
- ErickStevenson, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3Yah I don't get that at all... why would this piss of blackberry owners? It's basically a ***** screen saver. So we gonna see more douche bags walking around trying to light up other peoples IpHone? Wow i'm so envious now...
- bunkka, on 09/17/2008, -1/+4Where's Jim Jones when you need him...oh wait
- Dumbledorito, on 09/17/2008, -2/+5Because a large segment of Apple's customer base craves the envy of those around them. As things progress, it gets harder and harder to replace self-worth with actual character, so these products and their whizz-bang flashy bits are a temporary crutch.
- Chickenlip, on 09/17/2008, -9/+11Lame, pointless, and hardly impressive.
Buried. - WiZZLa, on 09/17/2008, -1/+3Another great and innovative application!
- IpwnURcomment, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2I can see the arguments now:
"Quit trying to light my iPhone you ***** flamer!!!" - internetcoward, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2lame
- kmckanna, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2I am assuming that the other iPhones you want to light on fire have to have this app as well? Therefore, not as cool as it could be :(
- chkdg8, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Is that the soundtrack for 2001: A Space Odyssey?
- TheUngod, on 09/17/2008, -2/+3Sooo it's a gimmicky and overhyped application? I think that perfectly fits the iPhone in general.
- teethandeyes, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Is it just me, or is this kind of gay?
- DelMonte, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1"If this got through, what were some of the rejected apps?"
Apps where you can light your farts on fire? - mrBitch, on 09/17/2008, -1/+2Whenever I see you, I'm going to punch you in the face for no particular reason.
- Virgule, on 09/17/2008, -1/+2Well.. it have some nice touches. You can play with it with your finger and blow it off by exhaling.
A bit of cleverness is always a good thing. - mentor972, on 09/17/2008, -2/+2Will you? Will you really?
P.S. You have 2 phones so you can't gripe about how others spend their money. - ems11fox, on 09/17/2008, -3/+3awesome!
- EllipsisAeon, on 09/18/2008, -1/+1...you will never go banking on the stupidity of people.
buried, 'cause nobody gives a f#$%k! - Darkaged, on 09/17/2008, -1/+1I would like to know how this works.
- Shadow503, on 09/17/2008, -1/+1""
QFT - Virgule, on 09/17/2008, -1/+1try "Hold On!"
..... meh... - CCmachined, on 09/17/2008, -2/+2iBeer was better. not even impressive.
- mentor972, on 09/17/2008, -1/+1All talk.
- wiiwillrockyou, on 09/17/2008, -1/+1intresting, either this app comes with a built in feature that allows the iphone to detect air flow or the guy in the demo is really good at making it look like he's blowing out the lighter when he is actually moving around the phone slowly
