BEST USELESS APP

S ome may wonder how a useless program can appear in HotPicks. In fact there have been several occasions when we discovered an application that was fun but had little or nothing to do with productivity (and wasn’t a game, either).
It all started with Dustin Kirkland from Canonical, who wrote Hollywood, which imitated hacker screens (LXF195). A few follow-ups emerged, with the best one being perhaps the gorgeous Edex-UI (LXF258). Sooner or later any good activity simulator will mature, become populated with sensors, widgets, graphs, dashboards, and will inevitably be of some use. We definitely needed something different for this ‘useless’ section of HotPicks.
