Spiderman Saves the Day!

Here's a cool story that I read on msnbc.com:

Fireman dresses as Spider-Man to rescue boy
Comic-loving autistic kid on balcony had refused to let others near him


BANGKOK - A Thai firefighter dressed as Spider-Man to rescue an autistic boy who climbed onto a third-floor balcony and dangled his legs over the side because he was nervous on his first day of school.
Firefighter Somchai Yoosabai was called in after the 11-year-old boy's teachers and mother failed to coax him off the ledge on Monday, he said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
"He was nervous about the first day at school, and he was asking for his mother," Somchai said. "He cried and refused to let any of us get close to him."
Overhearing a conversation between the boy's mother and his teachers about his love for comics and superheroes, Somchai rushed back to the fire station to change into a Spider-Man costume before swinging into action.
"I told him Spider-Man is here to save you. No monster will hurt you now," Somchai said. "Then I told him to walk slowly toward me. I was very nervous that he might have slipped if he got too excited and ran."
Somchai, who keeps costume of Spider-Man and a Japanese superhero Ultraman to liven up fire drills at schools, said the teary-eyed boy broke into a smile and started walking into his arms.

$1,000 IPhone App? WTF!?

Ok so I was browsing for some iPhone readmes on google and I came across this article on a $1,000 app that was posted in August and then immediately taken down (obviously). The real real real crazy thing that blew my mind was that 5 idiots actually bought this app for $1,000 a download. What does this $1k app do you ask? Nothing, just displays a glowing red rock! ROFL!

As taken from: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10011338-37.html

The $1,000 application on Apple's App Store, which lets
people know how rich you are simply for buying it, has been removed without
explanation, making some developers wonder what it takes for Apple to pull the
plug.

The "I am Rich" application developed by Armin Heinrich, a German
software developer, does nothing more than display a picture of a red ruby on
the iPhone screen. After initially approving the $1,000 application, Apple
removed it from the store this week. Eight people managed to dish out $1,000 to
buy the useless application, generating about $5,600 in revenue for Heinrich and
$2,400 for Apple, which collects 30 percent of each sale on the App Store,
according to a blog on the Los
Angeles Times Web site.
