Earthquake Lite, a free iPhone/Android app, displays global seismic activity and lists of events that you can filter by location, magnitude, and time, writes blogger Bob Tedeschi.
For example, the app listed nine significant tremors near Japan’s east coast, and one in western China for the week of March 14. You can sort the list according to magnitude, date, and location of the earthquake using free USGS data, and drill down to see the epicenter and more details.
iPhone users of the paid version can receive notifications of any tremor registering 6.0 or more on the Richter scale.

Ultimate Social Persuasion Device
In the near future, all citizens will wear a centrally-controlled, super iPhone that tracks your movements and can scan everyone around you to divulge their net worth, their shopping history and their dating potential.
The so-called äppärät is an invention of Gary Shteyngart, author of the satiric novel "Super Sad True Love Story." The main character works in the post-human services industry and he falls in love with a younger woman who constantly "teens," or text chats, with her friends. Is there an äppärät in your future? Will a fictional mobile device have a cautionary impact on today's designs?
How does the apparat rank people?
So you walk into a bar, let's say I'm walking into a bar. Everyone automatically ranks me and so I'll be the seventh ugliest man in the bar, but I'll have the fourth-best credit rating so it's very exciting you know. So everyone tells me that, you know -- who I am.
It also ranks your "personality" and your attractiveness. Your personality is how extroverted you are, how much of your own personal stuff you have out there. So it's constantly -- that's what a "good personality" is -- just somebody who just constantly spews things about her or himself. That's one focus.
Then there's something, there's a kind of emote pad so if you see somebody you're attracted to, it measures your heartbeat as it goes up when you're looking at them. And that woman or man immediately knows how much you want them, and then he or she can reject you or not.
Scary!!!!!

For all those of you worried about Swine Flu
A new iPhone application, created by researchers at Children's Hospital Boston in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab, enables users to track and report outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as H1N1 (swine flu), on the ground in real time.
The application, "Outbreaks Near Me," builds upon the mission and proven capability of HealthMap, an online resource that collects, filters, maps and disseminates information about emerging infectious diseases, and provides a new, contextualized view of a user's specific location – pinpointing outbreaks that have been reported in the vicinity of the user and offering the opportunity to search for additional outbreak information by location or disease.
Additional functionality of Outbreaks Near Me is the ability to set alerts that will notify a user on their device or by e-mail when new outbreaks are reported in their proximity, or if a user enters a new area of activity
