Do you suffer from 'appiphilia'?
Do you download applications you don't even use? Do you stay up late, obsessively logging in to iTunes? If so, you may have appiphilia.
But don't worry: Appiphilia is treatable with Appien, from the makers of Extensionil and Kaleidoscept.
Talk to your doctor about Appien. For some patients, it can reduce the joy associated with buying new applications, meaning less time on the App Store, and more time doing the things that you love: like checking email or using Maps.
Only your doctor can diagnose appiphilia. If you spent more than $30 on applications in the last week, there's a good chance Appien can help.
Appien isn't for everyone. Side effects include nausea, projectile Zune ownership, and dry mouth. Tell your doctor if backing up your iPhone takes longer than four hours, since this can be a sign of a rare complication that requires immediate medical attention.
Talk to your doctor about Appien. Appien. Regain control of your iPhone.

I'm with Blake, that was the last straw. I'm done with TUAW, and I'm not even kidding. I'm tired of finding nothing but garbage has been posted since my last visit.

Thanks for the two extra pageviews for your comment before you left, though. Really. Means a lot.

I have to admit, I only clicked through from my feed reader to see what disparaging remarks there would be here in response to the lackluster post.
Anyway, I won't leave you TUAW. Not for this. I'd be more likely to leave you for for the nauseatingly painful scrolling I experience when I view this site (and only this site) from my Windows PC with Firefox.

Best default wallpaper in history IMO.

Has anyone actually bought ANYTHING from the App Store yet?
There really isn't much there, and what is worth having is free.

Unfortunately, I have. You see, I have this disorder that was recently discovered, called Appiphilia. Appiphilia is only curable with the taking away of the internet. I've spent $15 in the last week, and countless free Apps.

I agree with the above about poster about loosening up...gosh if you don't/can't get a joke maybe you shouldn't be on tuaw. It's a better place when crappy comments and humorless people leave.
die working stiffs without a sense of humor...die.
