News Morning Newsdome: Does your iPhone get you off?
Posted by Bobby Feingold @senorbobby on Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 5:09 PM
>> While riding MARTA or waiting for a date at a restaurant, cell phone apps have become necessary for anyone killing time. Rounding out the growing list of apps is a new porn application for the Andriod phone, so anyone can get off while waiting for a friend to meet you at a coffee shop. iPhone can't do that. (PC World)
>> Eleven-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams was formally fined $82.500 for her U.S. Open tirade, nearly double the previous highest fine of $48,000 for Jeff Tarango in 1990. Looks like she won't be calling "love." (Associated Press)
>> Speaking of sports heroes: TMZ released photos of golf star Tiger Woods's SUV after he crashed into a tree in a neighbor's yard Friday at 2 in the morning. He was found with facial lacerations and the car windows smashed in, though reports say he was not under the influence. Thank God our children have such wonderful role models to look up to. (TMZ)
>> And turning our attention to the Middle East: The United Arab Emirates prohibited distribution of News Corp.-owned Sunday Times that carried a Photoshop-ed illustration of a senior Dubai ruler "floundering in a sea of debt." UAE, it's not that bad being portrayed as in billions of dollars in debt. Look how well we're getting used to it. (Bloomberg)
>> And finally, as a direct response to the International Atomic Energy Agency's censure last week, an Iranian nuclear official said today that the country will build 10 more uranium-enrichment sites in mountains. Way to go IAEA. (the Washington Post)
