Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
It's a common question: How can I turn my iPhone into a virtual glass of beer that I can fake drink to impress my slightly moronic, non-iPhone owning friends?
Until recently, there were two answers. Last year, magician Steve Sheraton began selling just such an application called iBeer from his own website. So imagine his rage when, after the launch of official iPhone App Store in July of this year, he discovered that Coors was offering a similar simulated beer drinking experience to iPhone users for free to promote their Carling brand.
Looks like the Coors app, called iPint, is being called an iKnock-Off, as Hottrix (who owns the rights to Sheraton's program) is suing Coors for a whopping $12.5 million dollars... or approximately 2.5 million "real" beers.
If that figure seems excessive, keep in mind the accusers say that iPint has been downloaded over 6 million times since its launch and both programs ranked in the top 10 of their respective categories of either free or paid app downloads.
I have an idea, guys. Why don't we all just sit down and settle this like men over a real beer?
