The augmented reality iPhone app, Nude It, is sure to get rejected from the App Store, but it would make millions if it didn’t. We’re betting this app could command a pretty steep price especially from people who like to “hang out” at the gym, or “bounce around” at the national cheerleading championships. Just point the camera at unsuspecting clothed people. Nudeness ensues.
Would you buy it? How much would you pay for it?
UPDATE:
The video seen here was created as a test. There was so much demand for this Nude It that the decided to actually make it. It’s now available in the App Store at the link below.
Andy Warhol is perhaps most well known for uttering those infamous words, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Ironically, that only took Andy about 12 seconds to say. Nevertheless, his point was made. Humans were progressively losing their attention spans, consuming bite size chunks of media like news and video before spitting them out for the next person.
This effect is no more evident than in our current obsession with social networking, and more specifically, micro-blogging. Take a look at Twitter, that quirky, simpleton of a text messaging service that has taken the world by storm. Its genius can be found, not in its breadth of features, but rather in its lack thereof. For most people, the barriers to use Twitter were set purposely low by its creators. Tweeters can quickly concoct tasty morsels of text and pass them to their followers who devour and share the messages just as fast. It’s like man versus food in a global tapas bar gone mad.
The micro-blogging feeding frenzy has been fueled, in large part, by mobile users who tap out status updates as if tomorrow was the end of the Maya calendar. And with the growing support for video on mobile phones like the iPhone, it only makes sense that video will offer the next bountiful course served up at the social network feast. Twitter has already stated publicly that they will not get into video, but instead leave that up to third-parties. So then, who will dominate this emerging landscape for video micro-blogging? Our countdown stops at 12seconds.tv, the creators of 12mail video messenger, the very first cross-platform video messaging service for iPhone. Read the rest …

Nothing says “Halloween” like a horde of zombies hell-bent on killing you, especially when said zombies come from outer space and were perhaps hot babes at one time but now just merely babes, and those zombie babes are wearing bikinis.
