Blogger/Philosopher/Zen Master Steve left a comment on my last post with a link to an article he posted yesterday:  The Most Useless Review (EVER).

Like myself, Steve is fascinated with the concept of a machine with only one function:  to turn itself off.

Steve’s article begins with a history of Ultimate/Useless Machines including links to other useless articles and goes on to review the two Useless Machine apps available for the iPhone/Pad.  I’ve mentioned one of the apps in a previous post, but the second one is news to me.

For those interested in UM’s I highly recommend that you check it out.

If you’re wonder about the drawing to the left, it’s Steve’s favicon.  For an explanation look here.

Concerning Useless apps, I don’t own an iPhone/Pad so I haven’t had a chance to try these programs.  One is free, and the other costs a whopping 99 cents.

If Steve Jobs is listening, please know that I would gladly trade a handcrafted UM for an iPad.  If Stephen Colbert can beg for an iPad, I don’t see any reason why I can’t!  (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more…)
