Got an iPhone? (I don't. I hate my wife's iPhone. There's no app for me, apparently. And apparently it is much more engaging and interesting than I am...)

What would be a cool, useful Polk Audio "app" for your iPhone? What would that app do? (Scan bar codes and compare speaker specs in the store? Suggest demo tracks? That kind of thing.)

Put down the darned phone and get to work, slackers.

    Even though I hate iPhones, a decibel meter. That'd be awesome.

    Jeez, making up for lost time much?

    And actually, there may be an App for you! Have you checked out the app that rates your sexual prowess using the microphone and accelerometer?

    Good stuff.

    More like, just finally deciding to suit up and wade in.

    Five Minutes to Kill Yourself from Adult Swim would probably be worth the coin...
    Other than that, if I see one more IPhone fanboy circle jerk around this office, I think I might replace "Yourself" with "Them" and "Five" with "Can I get an infinite number of...."
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I don't have an iPhone...but there are some pretty cool apps for them.

    You can actually get one that lets your iphone function as a digital guitar tuner. That'd be pretty cool. I think you can also use it as a reference for chords and scales etc...

    HEY! No not-caring allowed!

    I don't code. Patrick codes. I DE-code.

    (I do neither, actually. I just... write words and stuff. And procrastinate. At least that hasn't changed...)
