last line 'excitement' should be replaced with 'excrement'

strike that, maybe the whole article could be replaced with 'excrement' - I know it's Christmas, but farts, come on, not a Bulgarian airbag in sight...

iTourette!

Goes to show that one can make money out of it, if one is special enough and has the right type of wrong ideas...

$10k / day from flatulence?

Someone should tell Donald Trump...

So... mobile data and smart phones have been looking for that killer app.

Does that mean this is it? What's next - twittered farts or at least a farting app that auto-twitters when you invoke it? Oh joy. Oh wait I should probably patent that one.

Still holding out for the i-qweef.

And again I can see clearly why I simply have zero desire to buy from a moderated digital content delivery system. Not only is a foreign value system imposed on you, limiting what you can get, no, you are also humiliated by what actually is available.

....hot air.

I didn't realise Reg readers had such a poor sense of humor ? What's with these comments ? 10k a day, that's alot of downloads so it's obviously in demand - and fair play to the developers !! There are plenty of other "crude" apps - my favourite: Poo Price, putting your employers wages in the toilet !

"people who are paying actual money for this ridiculous juvenile piece of trash while people are literally starving and freezing to death in the streets."

Really? Is that the best you can do? What difference would $0.99 make to someone starving on the streets? Or would you rather it were donated through a "we only take 80% of it in overheads" charity? What next, ranting at people in older cars that use a little more petrol than others?

Come on, it's a 60p joke app. Have a sense of proportion.

If I've told you once, I've told you a million times; stop exaggerating!

It is excitement, just the Taleban variety.

Mentioning sex is verbotten, farting however is good. As the middle-eastern custom commands one must commend the host of a party with a fart and a burp to signify the quality of food and entertainment on offer. So not surprising that Apple has offered the tools to do so.

The really sad thing is that while bitching about them from a position of "moral superiority" we in essence are becoming their spitting image. What's next - mandatory hijabs?

It's up to $1.19 at the moment...

Paris? Because even she does them....

I want to be first to market the iOrgasm app, vibration an optional extra.

Just goes to show, people will buy any old sh-one-dot-t

Paris, 'cos she knows all about the iOrgasam

sums up the iPhone/Touch perfectly.

Someone please release an app that displays a turd on the screen that can be gifted to an iPhone owner and started by an SMS.

$10,000/day for code that makes a fart? Damn, that's more money per day than Sun make out of Open Slowaris! And I thought Sun were the masters of vapourware....

ok ok I am going no need to push

How about iADD - You start up the app, it responds to you for a couple of minutes and then goes off and does its own thing, completely ignoring you, comes back for a couple of minutes, responds to input, sods off again...

Hang on, I've just described the iPhone UI experience...

And before anybody gets on their oh-so-high horse, I have ADD as does my son.

Sorry, what was that you just said?

Oh dear, bit narrow minded aren't we? Racism's other big contributor is ignorance, which unfortunately seems a lot more prevelant than fear and hatred.

One thing you can't afford to do in an infinite universe, is have a sense of proportion.

(RIP DNA)

"But how the fuck do you jump from there to racism?"

Hey, Apple only sells WHITE Macs, they must be racist! Mac keyboards have the letter K, so they must be affiliated to the KKK!!!

Sorry bro but you opened the bag of worms. If all you do is write comments on El Reg how can you justify the $50+ on broadband when dialup would be fine? Then you can you can take the money you save and donate it to charity, if you do this I will be glad to donate this jar of change on my desk as well.

What you wont? Then stop ranting and frothing at the mouth.

@iRidiculeEthnicMinorities

I do this every night in Left 4 Dead, any time I play that game i change my name on Steam to "Kill The Blackie 1st Please TY" so I guess Im a racist now. Oh what im not? Yeah guess so since im not the only one who has done something like that in the game. Plus it is full of stereotypes.

Shoot me now Im a racist for playing L4D
