iPhone and iTouch Apps- Not so innocent after all


Recently located within Apple's Application store, a program located within the iPhone and iTouch, there is an application for download called Baby Shaker in which the user can shake their device and "kill" a picture of a baby boy or girl. The death is noted by distinct red "X's" which appear over the child's eyes after he/she is terminated.

It has recently been deleted due to its controversy and link to child abuse; misconduct.

Apple to possibly merge it's iPhone with Verizon

Verizon's 4G Network might need to make way for the Apple iPhone in the very near future

This idea definitely has its ups & downs, but first off, owning an iPhone restricts you to exclusively use only the AT&T service. I think Apple should only provide the iPhone, not the service provider. Providers should be able to be chosen by the users of the phone. Verizon appears to always have the leading edge on technology, but in the long run competition between carriers could possibly be a good thing. Perhaps lower costs & better quality? I think many people hold back on the iPhone because of it's pricey rates, but it might be a smart idea for Apple to start branching out...
