RE's Launcher and Unlocker (Shown above)
We mentioned RE's launcher and Unlocker last week. The controversial programs are designed to resemble Apple's iPhone interface. While there are several similar programs floating around, this one's intriguing because an intellectual property lawyer has decided to host the files on his site as lawsuit-bait for Apple. He's hoping to prove the program does not infringe on any copyrights.

The source code is available if you want to customize the links, which might be necessary, as I found that many of the icons point to programs I don't have installed on my device.
Installation is pretty simple. All you have to do is copy about 4.5MB of files to your device. You can put them anywhere, even on a storage card. Then click the program to start Launcher or the Slide/Unlocker program. If you want RE's Launcher to pop up every time you do a soft reset, just create a shortcut and copy it to the Windows/Startup folder.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
