Killer iPhone app
Ex-TV Executive Creates Way to Kill People for $1Unemployment has not been easy for Paul Sherno. Since losing his job at WJLA-TV, the veteran TV executive has applied–with 60 other people–for a warehouse job (didn't get it), considered selling insurance (money was crap), and attempted to enlist in the Army (too old). [...]
It's enough to make a guy want to mete out some justice.
"'Shoot a banker' ran through my mind," Sherno says. "I'm not an inherently violent kind of guy, but a lot of people were angry."
Also, he had an iPhone.
So Assassin FPS, the first iPhone application from Sherno's one-man company which he runs out of his Silver Spring home, Differentium LLC, was sort of inevitable. The first-person shooter game uses the iPhone's built-in camera, but instead of shooting at computer-generated enemies, the target in Assassin FPS is whatever's in front of you. Once you've selected from weapons like an AK-47, a bazooka, a laser blaster, or even Nerf darts, the weapon and its crosshair appear over the objects—or people—in your viewfinder, and you can commence blowing them into the next realm.
