Are you iPhone addict? Well… I got iPod touch, not iPhone. My friends are crazy about it.

Do you know that since Apple opened its online App Store doors, it has boasted over two billion downloads. And while the App Store does not disclose how much revenue it receives, we can be sure that the majority of their fortune comes from these top ten grossing applications.

Coming in at number one is Rock Band. Developed by Electronic Arts and distributed for $9.99, this app put the popular console game into a handheld platform. It’s got multiplayer functions and you can purchase addtional songs for $0.99 a pop.

Ranking at number two is Command & Conquer Red Alert, which was also developed by Electronic Arts and is distributed for $9.99. EA has brought its hits real-time strategy game (RST in gamer parlance) to a mobile platform. In the game, the Soviets and the Allies duke it out in an attempt to gain control of the world. Its multiplayer functions appeal to the large audience of loyal players that grew up with the Red Alert series.

Recently, I started a new hobby in keeping cichlids. It was a very challenging task. Cichlids are known to be very aggressive and territorial. After surfing the Internet, I found a great source called Cichlid Secrets which answered all my questions. Now, I have a tank of cichlids and other fish living in harmony.

May 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

What is the world becoming? Just last week, all of us thought that swine flu or H1N1 flu is almost gone. I just read a report – “Swine Flu in Japan May Trigger Pandemic“.

USA has recorded its sixth swine flu fatality, a 55-year-old assistant principal at a school in the New York City borough of Queens. The city has closed eight schools in Queens and Brooklyn; news reports suggest that 40 other New York schools have high absentee rates.

Despite the worrisome news from New York, Schuchat said the swine flu is now spreading most quickly in the Pacific Northwest and in the Southwest. Case counts — 5,123 as of today — are “the tip of the iceberg.”
