Every now and then, we come across a new iPhone app that makes us scratch our chins and wonder, "How did this not exist already?" 'Last Night Never Happened' is one such app.
LNNH markets itself as "the world's first morning-after app," but, unfortunately, it's not what it sounds like. This app, you see, has one goal, and one goal only: to wipe out all the tweets and status updates that Drunk ...
If you have an iPhone and $20 to burn, you can now do your best impression of a weatherman, or Michael Jordan in 'Space Jam' -- thanks to the new 'Kromath 3' chroma-keyer app. Simply snap a photo of yourself in front of a solid-colored wall, and you'll have as many bizarre-o self-portraits as you could ever want.

'Smuggle Truck: Operation Immigration' is a new game that invites players to smuggle illegal immigrants across the U.S. border.

Devout Catholics and Apple devotees can now conduct their sacraments on the go, thanks to a new iPhone app designed to make confessions a little more convenient.
'Confession: A Roman Catholic App' markets itself as "the perfect aid for every penitent." The app provides a step-by-step guide to the confession process, and offers a so-called "personalized examination of conscience for each user," ...
Esquire has crowned fashion model Brooklyn Decker as the sexiest woman alive. In an effort to promote the magazine (which, like the rest of the print world, is aching to compete with the increasingly digital media world), Esquire is taking Decker on a whirlwind tour of Barnes & Noble stores across the country -- over 700 in total. How is the model going to cover so much ground before the next ...
With its astronomically high skin-cancer rate, Australia has decided to inform its people about sun safety with a new iPhone app. Called 'SunSmart,' the free app gives users a daily forecast of UV levels, helping -- the government hopes -- to dissuade Aussies from exposing their skin to carcinogenic levels of sun. We'd think just showing them all a picture of Snooki would do the trick, though.

Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.

As lovers of both technology and leisure, we can appreciate the Acutouch HT-9500, a black leather massaging recliner that can be wirelessly controlled via an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Priced at $4,999, your recliner comes with a free app download (well, sort of free) that lets you control the chair's posture, massage intensity and ...
Here at Switched, we love things that make noise. And when it comes to noise-making, few names have a stronger pedigree than Moog. The granddaddy of electronic music has released Filtatron, an iPhone app based around the classic Moog Ladder Filter that gives the company's analogue effects and synths their distinctive sound. You can use the digitally modeled classic filter to manipulate input from ...
Amazon has updated its mobile shopping app with a feature we're amazed took this long to implement. The latest version of 'Amazon Mobile' for the iPhone now supports barcode scanning for quickly finding prices. You can now easily order whatever you've scanned from Amazon without needing to wait till you get back to a PC. This is really handy for comparison shopping while you're out and about -- ...
Are you concerned that your lover isn't getting a good night's rest while he's off on that "business trip" to Atlantic City? Or maybe you're wondering whether or not your clingy girlfriend has been in bed all day with a gallon or two of Blue Bell in hand, while you've been off visiting your 'rents? Enter Alexander Reeder's Dream Jammies, which connect faraway lovebirds with stalkerish sleep ...
A new update to the PayPal iPhone app now allows users to deposit money into their online accounts simply by taking a photo of a check.

If you live in the city, noise-canceling headphones are a must-have accessory. But the thing that makes them so great -- the ability to block out surrounding noise -- also makes them dangerous for navigating busy streets. The new 'Awareness!' app for iPhone plays external noises that are louder than a preset threshold via the headphones' microphone (or the iPhone's mic) while you listen to music, ...
iPhone geeks can now indulge their inner air-traffic controller, thanks to a new app that takes all of the guesswork out of the classic 'Bird-Plane-Superman' trinary. The app, called 'Plane Finder AR,' combines augmented reality with data from virtual radar maps to track commercial planes passing overhead. All you have to do is point your iPhone at an aircraft, snap a photo, and the app will ...
Earlier this month, Apple relaxed the restrictions it places on developers who want to get their products in the App Store.

Backstage at #brightday. Pretty great event for gadget lovers from what I've seen so far. http://t.co/7ZRz9e3Tsm
Anybody in Amsterdam going to to the Bright Day/Night tech event tonight? Yours truly will be making an appearance.
Or perhaps it's my Verizon phone that won't allow it without a Verizon SIM. Either way, it ain't much use without data.
