Five apps for the stoner and stoner at heart

There's no shortage of what you can find on the app store. Sure, applications like Google Voice have been pulled, but Apple is totally okay with customers using their iPhones for...other hobbies. Come on, free phone calls or the nearest marijuana dispensaries - it's a no-brainer! A quick search through the Lifestyle section (well doesn't that say something) of the iTunes App Store yields a lot of results for the stoner in all of us:

Cannabis ($2.99)
This is a simle geo-location based application that'll help you find the nearest medicinal marijuana, doctors that are pro-marijuana and even attorneys for when the cop that just pulled you over isn't buying "I swear, I have never seen that in my life." If you find yourself in a state that hasn't legalized marijuana (erm, pretty much most of them) the map can tell you where to go to get involved in reform movements.

Crystal Bowl (Free)
An application based on the popular movie, Pineapple Express, this promises to be a "magical" experience. It's basically an eight ball that contains a host of "little nuggets of infinite wisdom" though I'm pretty sure some folks will find them funnier than others.

Just a side note, please remember that possession and/or use of marijuana remains illegal in many states. Always check your local laws and regulations before engaging in any activity like this...after all, there's an app for that!

Digg adds images, new categories

Digg
Surprising no one, Digg has added a new images section. Many of the top stories on Digg over the past year or so have been funny or interesting pictures, but since the site lacked thumbnails, the only way to distinguish the pictures from text-based articles was by placing (PIC) or some other indicator in the headline.

Now, honestly, we seriously considered skipping this announcement. We've reported several times that Digg was planning on launching a new images section, and now that it's here, well, it's here. So what? But Digg is still probably the biggest name in social news, and when they sneeze, the rest of the industry tends to notice.

Digg has also rolled out several new categories, including a new Lifestyle section with subcategories like Arts & Culture, Autos, Travel, and Food & Drink. In other words, Digg is trying to lose its image as a site for ubernerds only. But Digg faces some stiff competition for that audience from established companies like Reddit, Propeller and StumbleUpon.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
