Maybe you think gun violence is atrocious, and that it should never be endorsed by an iPhone app. Well, you may be right, but I am sick and waiting for attention at the UF student healthcare center and there’s nothing I want more than to shoot up the place.

Cue: iSheriff, a new “augmented reality” (or should I say demented reality?) iPhone app that lets you blow the brains out of anyone in the viewfinder of your iPhone camera.

“Hey, sick kid in the waiting room. Let me put you out of your misery…”

“And will someone please turn off this damn TV! No!? Well then I’ll do it myself…”

If you’re not one for blood and guts, Disable Gore and go for the clean kill.

iSheriff is an amusing development in the new and emerging realm of augmented reality iPhone apps that are hitting the App Store.

Thanks to the iPhone 3.1 update, developers can now combine the iPhone’s camera, compass and GPS to place a virtual layer over a view of the real world.

Gonna shoot up a place? Use iSheriff.

Techcrunch: Spotted: Facebook Location In Action. Meet Facebook Places!

Posted by on under facebook, locati, waiting room, aces, ace, lt |

We're sitting here in the waiting room at Facebook waiting for the supposed location event to start. Facebook won't say officially what the event is about, but it seems like everyone knows. And now we know for sure. Earlier, we found code evidence of the new Facebook Places area. Now we've found the feature itself. Welcome to Facebook Places. The following screenshots are from the touch version of Facebook's website. The same place we originally found the location code months ago. As you can see, there's a new Places tab. When clicked on, it shows friends who have checked-in at various locations. When you tap "Share where you are with friends" from here, it brings up a list of nearby places. Yes, it's Facebook check-in.
