In case you missed my post just a few days ago, I started writing up the applications that have made it onto my iPhone and stuck. Sure, many an application have come and gone, but there are 14 applications that have stood the test of time and have proved quite useful.
8. Ambiance – This was one that if it was any more than a buck, I wouldn't have done it, but for $0.99, I thought it was worth a shot.

Theatrical trailers are supposed to entice viewers to want to see an upcoming film, but lately, they've become a little annoying.

Summers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill would seem pretty dull: Most students are at home, or if they're around, they're working hard on crash-course summer school courses or on some money-making summer job.
