Royal Wedding iPhone Apps

Bonkers-inducing.

I don't believe there's a word of this that's true.

There are some people "obsessed" with royalty, but there are also people obsessed with Star-Wars Pez dispensers. As for European royalty making Americans in general go "crazy," well, nonsense. No one cares about some Lichtenstein baron, unless they just invested all their money with a guy who said he was a Lichtenstein baron, and turned out to be someone from New Hope who could fake an accent. Yes, British royal weddings might have a bonkification effect on some, but calling it "the ultimate bonkers-maker" for Americans suggests the author has not spent much time at, say, a NASCAR rally. Trust me, they don't ask the drivers to go slow for a lap once a year on the anniversary of Di's death. We continue:

Oh but it is! It IS! Or maybe not; don't know. You're thinking: stop reading People! I don't read People. I scan the RSS feed. This isn't from People. It's from a tech site.

If you're all sixes and sevens over your bonknerness, the apps can be found here.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
