Alrighty iPhone freaks (like us), time to check out Apploot.com.

This site takes a look at one App a day with a review and a handful of promo codes for lucky addicts like us to take advantage of.

Since Apple just pulled the plug on all the skimpy iPhone Apps in their store, we know you have the room to add some more and there’s only so many fart Apps you can add.

So we gave it a shot.  Today they had an iPhone App for a VOLT which is normally $.99.  We checked out the reviews, which sounded decent, and were able to get a free redemption code that was easily entered into the iTunes Store.

And viola! We had the App to try and use for our own.  Pretty f’n cool.

Hopefully the peeps at Apploot.com will continue to add more cool stuff.  And just like Woot, you just need to check back daily for your fix.

Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, has given us a juicy bit of news about a forthcoming Google Super Bowl commercial during the game Sunday.

Normally, Google stays away from traditional advertising of this sort. Recently the Google has launched aggressive new ventures like web browsers [Google Chrome] and it’s very own cell phone [Google Nexus One] that may need some extra attention

So we’re guessing that when Eric Schmidt says this:

Can’t wait to watch the Superbowl tomorrow. Be sure to watch the ads in the 3rd quarter (someone said “Hell has indeed frozen over.”)

…that we can expect something new from Google.

Our guess is a commercial touting the Nexus One cell phone.

Even though Google provides the Android operating system for the Droid cell phones, it relies on the carriers and manufacturers to advertise those products. That just leaves Chrome and Nexus One.

The Nexus One is Google’s toy. If it’s going to go after the Apple iPhone, they’re gonna need more muscle and a Super Bowl spot might help lift disappointing sales numbers.  And advertising the Chrome browser seems a little wasteful.

The other option is something new from Google like the Chrome OS.   Ehh….probably not.

This post is dedicated to the great Steve Jobs.

Thank you for creating the best name ever for a heavily anticipated device.

We can’t thank you enough for the iPad. (**snicker**)

We hoped and prayed that you wouldn’t give into conventional naming like iSlate or iTablet or iSaac*.  As we debated about the naming of the device we got giddy at the first mention of something that sounded like a social media tampon.

The Apple iPad. (**snicker**)

There’s a black 16GB, 32GB, or even a 64GB model for those heavy flow days on the Internet. But, thankfully, it’s not available in white.

And don’t worry about spotty 3G coverage. You’ll get WiFi with this standard.

Thank you, Apple, for all the fun we will have over the next few years and it’s nice to see you catering your products to women. We guess the iPad name is better than their second choice, the MaciPad.  heehee….(say it out loud)

The promise of jokes to come from naming your device the iPad (**snicker**) is so beautiful that we will overlook for now that you just spent an hour and a half trying to convince us that the large iPod Touch in your hand is revolutionary.

You’ve earned it. Congrats.  You have re-invented the NetBook as only Apple could.

While not all fans are happy with the device, we are quite pleased.

*= as in Newton,…wink, wink

The end of the world is coming to East Tennessee, in a matter of speaking. A winter storm is coming and they are calling for 3-6 inches. Tragic, isn’t it?

We know Northerners are used to snow fall but down here we’re not. People flip the Hell out and for some reason the first thing they do is head to the grocery store and only buy 3 things: bread, milk, and eggs. It’s kinda freaky. You’d think maybe some bottled water or TP would be sold out but try buying bread before a snowstorm and you’ll be out of luck.

So, while Knoxville prepares for what someone from Pennsylvania might call a ‘dusting’ of snow, here are some links to keep you warm.

You can do just about anything with an iPhone.

If you can think of it, there’s probably an App out there for what you want including a Russian Roulette game.

While we don’t recommend playing that game at all we can’t even begin to imagine what could possible go wrong with the iPhone version….

….nothing, right?

Man, the iPhone is the best thing ever invented! The best-selling phone has rewritten the book on smart phones with their popular interface and apps store. There really is an app for almost anything. Even when there shouldn’t be. [source]

Dexter, our favorite show for a few years running, is storming back into Season 4 with a handful of issues to deal with including the spawn of Dex.  Showtime has not held back and has blanketed San Diego with Dexter ads for today’s Comic Con event.

The uber fantastic John Lithgow also joins the cast for Season 4 and the panel for San Diego Comic Con to showcase all the cool toys and gadgets surrounding the show.  We still have to wait until September 27th for the show to kick start again but with the Comic Con today we have learned a few fun things about Dexter.

First, there are new promo posters shown above.  In classic Dexter promotional style we get a shiver and a smile.  Baby Dex should be a fun addition and looks great on the back of peddle cabs.

Second, there is a killer iPhone ap based on the show.  Literally.  Dexter the Game is a downloadable game for your iPhone which allows you to analyze crime scenes, uncover evidence, and choose which brand of justice best suits the situation. How beautiful! A serial killer game for the iPhone with blood splatters and knives.

Check out these 2 promos for the game:

Third on the list is the great Dexter action figure. Standing 7-inches tall and fully articulated, Dexter comes with interchangeable arms, allowing him to transform from killer to blood-splatter expert and back again. He also includes loads of great accessories: knife, body bag, ID badge, and blood slide! This sculpt is personally approved by Michael C. Hall.

And finally fourth we have a Season 4 preview. This video clip shows the struggle of the demons in Dexter with his urge to be a good dad and settle down. Also of note Showtime announced that there will be an Dexter animated prequel to flush out the story before the series. The episodes are being geared as webisodes for the Internet but Michael C. Hall will be doing the voice so all is good.

IPhones are awesome and you can do anything like surf the web or check your emails. You can even install Windows 95 on it. Wait…what?

Man, if this is a fad we better make sure our site works in Netscape 4.0. At least you can play Minesweep on it.

Who needs an iPhone when you can get your hands on the Western Electric TV phone? Technically, a Picturephone. It’s not quite as portable but it gets the job done. [via]

It’s not like you need an excuse to see the lovely Olivia Munn in a bra. We dream about that quite often. It’s a lovely dream that usually ends up in a pillow and/or tickle fight.

So the Apple news conference thingy went down today as millions of hipsters held their breath in anticipation of the revelation of new gadgets and toys for their beloved iPhone. Steve Jobs didn’t show up but a new iPhone and a cheaper MacBook Pro did along with the new OS Snow Leopard and Quicktime. All you really need to know is that there’s a new iPhone. It looks like the old iPhone. Cost the same as the old iPhone. But it does video. Hurry and upgrade today.
