Patriot App Lets You Play Tattletale to the Government


by

The Patriot App lets you snitch on people you feel are being “suspicious”:

It’s the world’s first iPhone application that empowers citizens to assist government agencies in creating safer, cleaner, and more efficient communities via social networking and mobile technology.

1984?

Let’s hear your thoughts.

I have never carried any sort of “protection” device like Mace or Pepper Spray or even a GPS location device for my safety. Neither does my family but I know of other people who go as far as carry their “conceal and carries” with them everywhere.

With Switch, though, you could use Social Media as well as your device to help you out if you’re feeling threatened. High-tech security and safety? Not really, but might make some people feel safer:

  • Send out your location and distress message to friends on Facebook and Twitter
  • Send an emergency text message with your location to your family, partner or best friend
  • Activate a loud alarm to attract help and attention from bystanders
  • Use your iPhone as a bright torch
  • Quickly call emergency services with a single tap

Wunderlist: Free Task Management


by

Wunderlist, which has a sweet desktop version for both Mac and Windows, now has an iPhone version that is just as sweet.

I’ve heard great things and can’t believe it’s free. Perhaps all the best stuff in life (and apps?) are free?
