I once had a friend, who was seriously obsessed with his ex-girlfriend. All he would do is talk and talk and talk about this chick who dumped him. It wouldn't matter what we were talking about, he would always bring her up. It got to be a point where you would seriously want to punch him and his ex-girlfriend in the throat.
@tande04: It has always had another designation other than swine flu. The reason for the political correctness is that you don't actually contract the disease through eating pork, but because it's called swine flu people have stopped buying pork and it's starting to hurt the pork industry. Of course, I'll still call it swine flu.
@justinpe: I'm guessing you were joking. But, just in case you were not...
Swine Flu is a virus that passes with apparent ease from human to human and is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people, thus the cause for alarm as it can be contracted so easily and casually.
In contrast, herpes is transmitted by direct contact with a lesion or the body fluid of an infected individual. AIDS is similarly transmitted through exchange of bodily fluids, such as those occurring during specific sexual acts. Neither herpes nor AIDS are spread casually, e.g., via sneezing or coughing, and, therefore, a "tracker" similar to this one for Swine Flu would be needless and ridiculous. (Well, not that a Swine Flu tracker is all that much more helpful.)
Ever since the App Store was announced, I always felt there was pent up demand for an app that would automatically substitute the term "Grammy nominated" for "Grammy winner" in reference to John Mayer.
I think most iPhone users would likely pay at least .99 for it.
Please don't steal my idea.
Point being, I've been waiting for something just like this in order to be able to build the kind of quality app iPhone users have come to expect.
@Jason Chen: friend, I am glad that you are reading my message I am from the United Bank of Brazil and have found $20,000,000 in an abandoned account. Pplease email me with your bank account number and social security so I can make transfer.
Orb is one of the most useful applications available for mobile devices. Being able to access all my work files, stream my own music and video, have access to my picture library, etc all without any technical setup is very,. very cool. I used it a bit when I toyed around with the Nokia N810 and it was great. The only downside, if I remember correctly, is that it's for streaming but not for downloading, which kinda sucks since you can't just log on and grab a movie before getting on a plane or something. But otherwise it's a great way to extend the storage capacity of the iPhone. I'm going to download it and check it out for sure, right after I update the firmware....
IF I could get the app for free, and actually put time into learning how to semi-play music on it, and didn't annoy the piss out of my girlfriend with it...then it would be cool.

Let's see what tomorrow brings. It would be nice to be able to listen to Sirius XM while doing other things. I hope it's streaming over WiFi and 3G.
This is actually a pretty decent price if this is accurate.

Please let tonight's South Park show the world how stupid we are for freaking out about this. I see a Randy Marsh tirade coming on.

I wasn't aware that political correctness now extended to pigs and diseases but apparently it does.
