The guys from Rooster Teeth make a holiday horror video based on Siri.

Chris Keall wasn’t sure who to vote for in Epsom, so he asked Siri:

The worm is back tonight:

Expect even more relentless repetition of upbeat language than usual from Prime Minister John Key and Labour leader Phil Goff as the worm returns for tonight’s leaders’ debate on TV3.

The debate will use the Roy Morgan Reactor, more commonly known as “the worm”, to measure the response of a studio audience of undecided voters selected for a balance of gender and age.

You can download the Roy Morgan Reactor App (the Worm) for people with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch from the Apple App Store.

For those with Android devices you can get it from the Android Marketplace.

For those of you who think you can’t be bothered, check out this email sent to the Labour email database last night by Trevor Mallard. Labour are going to try to stack the worm in their favour…all power to them, but we can’t let them have it all their own way.

Google have released their Gmail app for iOS devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

The thing I missed about getting my emails in the native mail app on my iPhone or iPad was that I couldn;t star things for later. By using this app I can. I need to do this for tipline emails for blogging later or for follow up.

With the Gmail app, you can:
● Receive notification badges for new messages
● Read your mail with threaded conversations
● Organize your mail by archiving, labeling, starring, deleting, and reporting spam
● Keep track of important messages with priority inbox
● Auto-complete contact names as you type
● Send and receive attachments
● Search through all your mail

As you probably already know on the November 21 TV3 election debate they are letting people with smart phones participate with the Roy Morgan Reactor App (the Worm) for people with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Indie-rockers the Vaccines are debuting their new video for “Wetsuit,” which was almost entirely crowdsourced from fan photos submitted through Instagram, the photo-sharing app for iPhone. The video follows a festival-goer in a red hoodie from daybreak to day-ending Vaccines concert. Other than brief video segments, the entire video is from Instagram.

Fans were asked to take pictures of themselves at festivals and submit them by tagging them with #vaccinesvideo. The band received nearly 3,000 photos and approximately 15,000 likes on Instagram. The project, put together by Anomaly, also had an international splash with people from 99 countries visiting the contest site. It was then up to director Poppy de Villeneuve to sort through and pick the best photos to use and in what order.

David Byrne has made some fake iPhone apps, I saw this one, it has appeal, though I think I already have the WordPress version.

…if you are a hipster that is

In addition to looking stylish, if you are a hipster, the BookBook for iPhone also acts as a fully functional wallet.

They also have the BookBook for iPads.

I have a new iPhone and I downloaded the Instagram app to have a bit of  a play.

When I went for a walk today out along Bucklands Beach I saw this digger had been driven into the sea, presumably by some louts thinking it would be fun.

That is the original photo (click to enlarge)

Now this is what Instagram did to the photo after a bit of play with some settings.

I think I may just add a regular feature of fun snaps.
