Surely the AppStore has a bunch of apps that you can’t live without.. But there are also apps that are nothing short of stinkers. Among the hundreds of apps at the Appstore these are the apps you don’t want to have on your iPhone, except for a good laugh maybe..

Sure enough Apple accepted them into the store for being well coded but again who needs them. Come on Apple get some interesting apps on the board rather than these bad apples which spoil the party…

So here are the 10 iPhone Apps you don’t want to have…

• Alarm Free

I’m completely at loss to explain the need for this app. The developer describes it as “self-defense/emergency alarm with freefall detector”. Confused? Yeah me too… Its even got a cool looking graphic telling you what you are supposed to do.. Yeah right! Imagine this neat conversation that I’m having…

“Hey there Mr. Mugger, one sec let me whip out my iPhone real fast(you knew I had an iPhone right?) and…. ok, unlocked the screen, launched this app, and BEEP BEEP BEEP! HAHA take that! A beeping sound far more quiet than the sound of my own voice! What? You want the iPhone now in addition to my wallet? Weird“

• Cow Toss

Another gem of an app at the App Store.. All you gotta do is move the cow and watch it fly around with space… I guess the guy who wrote this genius was probably practicing how to write real apps for the App Store…

• Crazy Mouth

Don’t take this as just another app. The developer asks you this question “Why waste money on an expensive facelift when you can get your Crazy Mouth on! ” Basically its got a series of 10 animated mouths which you are supposed to select and put the iPhone up to your mouth and give the onlookers a good laugh..

Have a look at this demo.. Surely this is not the reason you brought your iPhone right?

• Flashlight

Caught up in dark alley is it? Oh come on you can always use your iPhone as a flashlight can’t you? Pay 0.99$ for this cool little app and light up the dark streets.. Oh well there are other apps like Light that do the same thing for free. But paid apps are always better right?

• SimStapler

Perhaps you would like to staple the Declaration of Independence to the Magna Carta? Or, your phone bill to the Book of Kells? With SimStapler and your imagination its “no problem”

Meh! Basically a tool you can use to teach your kids how to staple two sheets of paper..

• Looky

All this really useful that costs 3$ does is bring you live search results from Google. I thought Google does it already.. Save those 3 bucks and fire up Safari and search Google..

Trust me it ain’t that hard..

• Banner Free

Getting bored? Display whatever text you like on a cool looking LED Matrix display. Thank god its atleast free..

• Hold On!

Seriously the whole point of this lovely little app seems to be holding that huge “Hold” button for as long as you can… Apparently it’s supposed to increase your productivity by increasing your concentration levels.

God gracious atleast this thing is free. You don’t want to pay a few bucks just to hold a button on your iPhone do you..

Tip: To get the highest possible score hold the button and walk along as though nothing happened..

• Handy Randy

Can’t think of a random number for your latest password? If you didn’t take math all that seriously when you were in school this app is made for you.. This super expensive application that costs you 10$( !! ) draws random numbers..

Also this cool little app gets my vote for the most horribly designed app in the App Store.. I wonder if the developer had ever seen an iPhone?

• Yes|No

Need to take a quick decision? Fire up this lovely little app and hold the question in your mind.. Once you are done with that it will tell you a Yes or a No.. Use this for questions like..

Should I call him?
Should I go to bed?
Should I push this huge red button?

My suggestion is once you have got the answer you needed delete this app to save precious space on your iPhone..

There you go, 10 iPhone apps that you don’t want to have. I keep wondering what the developers of these apps had in mind while developing these gems.. Maybe they were thinking “I guess if you’ve dropped that much money on a phone that looks cool, I guess you could spend a bit more and get some useless programs for it.”

Found some more useful useless apps for the iPhone? Please share with us in the comments..

With the iPhone on sale in over 22 countries today the day will not be complete without some launch day humor. The iPhone is already on sale in the US and some of you have already told us what you wish to do with your existing iPhone or your plans for the iPhone 3G.

Since the iPhone isn’t out here in India, i’ve been left with nothing less than hope to see the iPhone in my hands. Whatever that is, below are some comics courtesy Joy of Tech. After having a look at the comics make sure you visit the site for some geeky laughs. Whatever they meant!!

Meanwhile my personal favorite is the Mac. Doesn’t mean I’m Gay Alright!!

Surely the title caught you unawares right? Public companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft and Yahoo get sued for all kinds of things. But who thought that anyone would sue the CEO of Apple for sexual harassment purely on the merit of a few Apple gizmos like the iPhone.

I’m pretty sure that you haven’t really understood much of what I’ve said till now. Ok here is the actual story.. I suggest you read the lawsuit I’ve embedded below (courtesy Scribd iPaper). More details can also be had from here.

Alright a guy who calls himself Jonathan Lee Riches filed a Civil Lawsuit against Steve Jobs (CEO Apple Inc) and another guy called Philip Woolston.. The complaint is entirely handwritten and is titled “Sexual Harassment with Apple Gadgets“. Jonathan’s complaint is that Woolston who happens to be an educator at Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg in South Carolina and also an Apple Fanboy allegedly attempted to sodomize Jonathan Lee Riches in the bathroom with an Apple iPhone.

Now I’m sure you must wondering what on earth does Steve Jobs have to do with all this? Woolston apparently claimed that he was personal friends with Steve Jobs. “Woolston told me that Steve Jobs would provide Woolston with Software databases to look up my mother who lives in Norfolk Virginia and come to Virginia to do me and her harm if I didn’t have sex with him,” Riches wrote in his complaint.

Well isn’t that lame? Well looks like this Riches guy has a criminal history of filing silly lawsuits against well known and respected people. Riches has also filed lawsuits against OJ Simpson, Martha Stewart, Britney Spears, and George W. Bush and they have all been thrown into the trash bin for being a little too hot to handle.

Here is the civil lawsuit that Riches filed for you all to read and have a good laugh at : (P.S : RSS  Readers please visit the blog to see the embed)

Many of you would ask what happened to this guy after this lawsuit was filed. Just a month after filing the complaint, Riches filed a voluntary dismissal. “Philip Woolston and Apple Computers sexually assaulted me in my dreams and not in real life,” reads the (handwritten) dismissal document. “I can’t sue a dream.“

If you are aware every year Yahoo releases a Top 10 list of searches for that particular year, and last year Britney Spears topped the list. This time around Yahoo decided to something different.. Read on to find out more..

This time around, Yahoo has presented the trends in a different fashion, by grouping the Top Trends for 2007 in different categories. The topics include not only top news stories (led by Saddam Hussein) and tech trends (no surprise over here, YouTube), but also trends in fields like environment, pet food, kids’ search trends, and searches on Yahoo’s Delicious bookmark sharing site.

In the tech category, behind YouTube, was: Wikipedia; Facebook; an Apple with super hits iTunes, iPod, and iPhone; the massively popular game console Wii; Microsoft’s Xbox 360; Sony PlayStation 3; and Guitar Hero, the simulated rock-guitar computer game that has become a sensation right now world over.

The company got its sense of humor into action by creating a “Celebrity Downslides” category, topped by none other than Britney Spears, who seems to be  busy between shuffling here life between shops, courthouses, and rehab these days.
