Stupid App of the Week: Cupcakes!



The Internet has provided humanity with a virtually limitless source of instantly-accessible knowledge unknown to civilization before its arrival. It has also turbo-charged what had already been society's comfortably cruising charter bus to Tardtown. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of iPhone apps.

This week's Stupid App: "Cupcakes!"

You would think this title would require further explanation. Sadly, it does not. From the Cupcakes! info page:

"Bake, decorate and eat virtual cupcakes on your iPhone! The latest sensation from the creator of the hit apps More Toast and More Pizza!"


So, yeah. Basically, the point of the "Cupcakes!" app is… Cupcakes!

This is currently the 6th most popular app for the iPhone.

And, yes. You read that correctly: Toast. There's also an app that allows you to spend those precious, finite hours of your life making virtual toast.

Say, Mr. Jobs, what did you perceive to be iPhone's greatest potential upon its conception?
"Exactly this."

Virtual cupcakes.

I'm sure the fish that struggled mightily to take those first evolutionary steps on land couldn't be prouder of its legacy.
"Actually, I think that sounds kinda neat…"

I fucking hate you iPhone.

But I love you so hard. *rubs iPhone on crotch*

Eventually they're going to come up with meta-apps that disrupt your perception of reality.

Example: "Phone" an app that perfectly simulates calling someone on your iPhone. Talk you your virtual friends on a virtual phone inside of your real phone for hours at a time!

Hopefully progress wars will be coming soon.
