Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:38:00 +0000 http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/20930#comment-113555 I apologize. I have a personal dislike of apple and my personal encounters with enthusiastic apple fans have bordered on being accosted by a religious cult. I unfairly painted mental_floss with that same brush with the recent multiple posts regarding apple apps, which was unfair. Your point is valid Chris, and I once again apologize for my unfounded comment. Thanks for calling me on it. In retrospect, if you wanted to get your phone app out to a large market share of people, I begrudgingly concede that apple apps would be a logical place to start… I apologize.

That doesn't mean Apple bought us or paid us anything. Another example: just because we sell tee-shirts doesn't mean the tee-shirt company bought us, or we sold out. I'm quite happy that people have phones without pictures of fruit on them. I have a fruity phone, and write games to run on it. Can't we all just get along?

Does Apple pay mental_floss a good chunk of change, or did they buy you outright?

One of the weirdest (and therefore most fun) apps is the lightsaber. The screen shows a sabe (duh) and it recreates the iconic 'vwingg' noise when you wave your iphone around, occasionally adding intimidating quips from Vader. Get two iphones with that app on it and you have a party :D The white noise app sounds great after a long day.
