Tomorrow is the universally recognized holiday known as “Valentine’s Day.” And today... well, today is a not-so-universally-recognized holiday. And it’s not called Mistress Day. And there’s no reason to sneak around and be all secretive tonight. So here are some apps that definitely won’t help you out with that.
We’re not saying you’ll need an alibi tonight. We’re just saying that if you do, it’s probably a good idea to get this app. It uses Foursquare to automatically check you into places, whether you’re actually there or not. You know, so it seems like you’re there. Right. You caught that part.
Facebook is fine. Just fine. But when it comes to sharing private messages, private videos and private pictures, it’s just so... public. So use this thing instead. It’s a new app that’s essentially an eyes-only social networking page. It’s all encrypted and whatnot, so everything stays between you and whoever. Or whoevers.
Once upon a time, a group of professional cryptographers launched the only app in existence that was able to encrypt phone calls over wireless networks to and from anywhere in the world. And then the government tried to shut them down. Which didn’t work out. So here you go.
Look down at your phone. Seems okay. But there’s a problem with that phone: it’s not an impenetrable vault where you can store your pictures. There’s no private camera. No separate photo album that requires a password to get into. And since tonight’s not the night to have such a problem...
Cash-only hotels by the hour. This app shows you where those are in your area. Which could come in handy tonight. You know, in case you’re driving home and get really tired and need to take an hour-long nap for the safety of yourself and those you’re sharing the road with.
