    Maybe if the iPhone supported apps running in the background, you could have that app run all day while you do different tasks, then seeing how many taps you actually make per day--instead of wasting precious time tapping a blank screen. #apps

    @Duckspwn: Loves Approving Reds: I have terrible sense of humor. I just feel that the intelligence exhibited by someone using this app deserves something like this. (Not really, but I hope you get the idea.) But really, my humor is terrible I apologize. #apps

    And the theory continues to be proven...

    The App Store may have 80,000 apps, but only 200-300 actually matter.

    I dunno this could come in pretty handy when you're waiting impatiently for the barrista to prepare your latte, or for the waitress to come to take your order. #apps

    Brilliant!!! Why haven't I thought of this before?

    Edit: I just went on iTunes to check this and the reviews are hilarious:

    "I had 20,000 taps, went to check my email and when I came back my tap total was 3,100. It takes an amazing programmer to mess up something so simple"

    "My wife was tapping for hours and got into the top screen of the leaderboard last night. When she opened the app to show me this morning, it had not save any of her taps."

    This app is just brilliant. They charge people, waste their time and then piss them off!
