A few months ago I needed to call a friend in Korea from my cell phone and even though I didn’t have an international calling plan I figured it couldn’t cost that much, so I dialed him up and we talked for about 10 minutes. Two weeks later I nearly crapped in my pants when I got the bill and saw that AT&T had charged me over $30 for that phone call! Groan. They literally charged me $3/minute. Bastards!
That’s never gonna happen again, though. AT&T would love for dumbasses like myself to pay them a monthly fee for an international calling plan or get raped on every overseas call I make, but starting now I’m using Call Global App whenever I feel the need to dial another country from my cell.
You’d think there would be cheaper ways to make these calls… I’m sure a lot of people will say “just use Skype” or some virtual calling card deal… but Call Global App’s rates are actually better than Skype’s and waaaayyy better than AT&T’s. Even if I had an international calling plan, AT&T would have charged me $.15/minute to call my friend’s cell in Seoul. Skype would have charged me $.08, and Call Global’s rate via their Direct Dial option was about $.07/minute.
Even better is that you get $2 of free calling when you install the app so you can take it for a test drive.

With the iTunes App Store now sporting about 30,000 apps, developers are desperate to stand out from the crowd. How desperate, you ask? Desperate enough that one company has figured out a way to MAKE YOUR iPHONE SMELL LIKE CHICKEN.
Yeah, you read that right! I never, ever, ever imagined that I’d be typing these words but it’s true: you can make your iPhone smell like a rotisserie chicken. When the Scent of a Chicken review request came in I was like pfffffft yeah right these people are idiots… but what’s amazing is that it actually works! Tap the picture of the big juicy chicken, wait about 20 seconds, and suddenly it’ll smell like you’re at a summer barbecue. Seriously, it smells EXACTLY like roasted chicken. Un-freakin-believable.

I would give the game ten stars just for the name alone! I mean seriously, any app that has the word “beef” in the title gets my attention (unless the app is named Beef Hunks Photo Finder, then we’re barking up the wrong tree). Nonetheless, I.D.P.’s Space Deadbeef is way more than just a flashy name; it is an absolutely addicting space-shooter game!
It works like this: start off blasting small enemy ships, incinerate larger enemy ships, obliterate more powerful enemy ships, and then go head-on with the master snake ship. Rinse and repeat, only at a slightly more difficult level. In terms of variety, you won’t see much; in terms of difficulty, you will get wiped off the face of the planet in later stages. In order to control your ship, you have to touch the screen either above or below your ship to move it up or down. This can be tricky at first since you also use the same finger to shoot your gun or launch missiles. A good optional update would be to have the ship controlled by the accelerometer (though I kind of like the current method of gameplay).
What really makes this game rock is the sweet, sweet satisfaction of launching limitless amounts of homing missiles at your enemies! I drool every time this happens! If you play this game with good headphones on, you are treated to a bumping soundtrack with amazing sound effects that compliment the game. So, when Mistress Deadbeef calls, you say “yes, ma’am, may I have another!”
Commence drooling ... NOW!
