These are the most expensive (and absurd) apps in the Google Play Store
We always say that the Google Play Store is like a real shopping mall: there are lots of products for sale. Unfortunately, Google’s shopping mall is crowded with those goofy kiosks that sell worthless junk. We’re not talking about fake or counterfeit apps: we’re talking about apps that are useless, but completely legal.
Introducing Abu Moo, the most expensive (and absurd) app developer in the Google Play Store. It. is. insane.

Good for nothing

Let’s get to the point: the app developer Abu Moo is worthless. Literally. When you download an Abu Moo app, its sole purpose is to appear in the main menu as a widget. That’s it. You download the app and it does nothing. It just sits there on your screen. Sounds fun, right? An icon that does nothing? Hold on to your butts. Each app costs a staggering $400.
To be exact, there are six “apps”: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Black Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire. Buying all six would cost you a total of $2,400. That’s money you might as well set on fire.
Its creator, the developer Abu Moo, doesn’t scam anybody. In fact, it’s very clear in the description of every app: “Are you rich and successful? Want to buy expensive apps just because you can? Maybe you want to impress your poor friends? Show them a widget that they do not own and never will. Or maybe you want to make a gift for your girlfriend, who happens to own an Android device? Why buy flowers, when you can buy virtual jewelry – an excellent solution! In any case, this widget is just for you! One of the most expensive apps on the Market, that does absolutely nothing, except show the world how rich and awesome you are!”
Abu Moo has been available on the market since 2013 and each of the apps has more than five downloads, which means there are actual living humans who spent actual money actually purchasing them. Even if you had a Scrooge McDuck money vault, there’s no point in buying this thing. It’s such a simple widget that anybody can create it.
Thanks to our pals at Andro4All for the tip.

Board exams are seen as the veritable test of knowledge. Conducted countrywide and taken to be the most widely accepted form of school level certification, the boards rightly deserve the attention it receives. As the exam dates draw nearer, one common query amongst all students (be it 10 th  or 12 th  grade) is how to prepare in order to get a high percentage. Understandably enough, the increased competition all over the country doesn’t leave enough room for a lackluster preparation and the room for error has grown narrower. Thus along with hard work, what students require to do is smart work. In this article, we will discuss some steps which are easy to assimilate into your daily schedule and can help you to become more focused and success oriented. Also, we will look at the ways a board question paper should be approached and how a student should write his/her answers. Before starting, the main thing a student should keep in mind is this: one should not be competing against wh

Facebook gets a MySpace feel by adding profile songs

MySpace and Xanga were truly the epitome of the good old days of social networking profiles. Private messages and bulletin boards were the most special features, but the best part of having your own page was  picking a profile song.  MySpace charged ahead of Xanga at this point, first having one song auto-playing at a time, then opening up to giving you the option to create playlists so anyone visiting your page wouldn’t be forced to listen to the same song on repeat. We remember spending hours customizing our themes, creating playlists and customizing our top friends (carefully – there was  nothing  more scandalous than moving an old friend out of your top eight). Shortly after,  Facebook was introduced and it brought a more mature and organized layout, and the main point was to make statuses. Over time, Facebook became what it is today, but a lot of users couldn’t help but wonder,  would Facebook ever have music?  There are pages for musical artists, but how could the
