Fisher Price Develops iPhone Apps for 2-5 Year Olds

Yes, you read that correctly. Fisher Price has teamed with IDEO to develop and launch iPhone games for children between the ages of 2 and 5. The games so far developed and available for purchase are:

See ‘N Say: A virtual version of the real thing.

Little People Farm: Farmville for Tots?

Chatter Telephone: Children will learn about numbers.

The prices are between .99 cents and $1.99. Not bad but I’m really not sure about handing a 2 year old my $400+ iPhone. Maybe for the hand-me-down iPhone’s?

[Scam Warning] Rogue App Claims to Track Who's Viewing Your Profile

Somehow, someway Facebook has allowed at least 25 applications with such names as peeppeep-pro, profile-check-online and stalk-my-profile that claim to be able to tell you who has been viewing your Facebook profile. All of which have been identified as SPAM.

If you install this app, you will simply be taken through of series of convincing looking set-up screens but now matter how many times you “Continue” you never activate any actual application that tells you who’s viewing your profile. Instead, you’re pushed through to other Facebook Apps earning the creator profits and giving you nada.

Other versions of this application creates a photo montage of infected users and posts it tagging the users to add to its more “authentic” look.

Facebook has since removed the apps but they may still appear. If they should arise again, remember this: Facebook has no official functionality to see who has been viewing your profile. If you see an application like this, it’s scam to simply generate revenue for ad affiliates with clicks and hits.

Thanks to Trend Micro for this information.
