Comments on: iFart Mobile to Pull My Finger: You stink

iPhone fart app maker takes another to court over trademark infringement accusations as two developers battle it out in crowded fart simulation app market.

Really...you buy a $600 phone to look all cool and tech-savvy, and probably download some games and useful software, and then...you actually GET a "fart application"? What the hell has the world come to? Free or not, a stupid idea. (BTW, I checked out a "Fart Generator" maybe 5 years ago, and it was funny for about 5 minutes...if you have this on your phone, you are either a 13 year old male (who doesn't deserve and iPhone, because what 13 yo can afford the fees), or you are a 40 year old idiot who wants to be a 13 year old male who can't afford the fees for an iPhone.
Now, I know this is supposed to be a humorous app (from Air-O-Matic's website: "The flatulence revolution has begun. Our iPhones can now fart. It is truly an exciting time for technology." What I think is worse than a 40 yo who wants to be a teenager is this...two companies are actually fighting over the phrase "pull my finger"? Here's my idea for software: pull my finger and text messages, emails, and voice mails will be left on both companies' CEO's iPhones texting or burping the phrase "YOU'RE BOTH MORONS!"

Grown men fighting over farts. Seriously, as a software developer I think that this is ridiculous. Perhaps the outcome of this debacle should be decided by the longest fart or something along those lines, because that's how sensible trademark disputes are in general.

Yea, this has to be 2nd or 3rd worst legal battle I've ever heard of.

Isn't the Web Accelerator browser specific? Granted I haven't used it since it first came out, so I may remember incorrectly OR it may have changed. In any case, if it is indeed a browser plugin and not something that runs outside of the browser, I fail to see how it could affect Chrome.

The ifart app is proof that the apple platform is the "cutting" edge platform !

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner! ;-)

I'm waitng for the iPhone Brown Edition -- 5% of the purchase price goes to flatulence prevention programs.

Combine some AUDIO from these "gas bag" apps with a VIDEO clip of "Monkey Boy" Balmer "dancing" and you've got a surefire winner.

Welcome to the Age of True Bipartisanship!

I'm thinking of naming my next software app "You're pulling my leg" and see how far that would go in a court battle with our rivals using that phrase in their commercial for their sofftware app "You're taking the mickey"

A joke is a joke, so see the funny side of it you stupid companies and just let it go, spend the money on helping some kids in Africa or somewhere else that needs a good helping hand!

Idiots!
