Fool Your Mom/Boss with iSkip
One of Cloudbrain’s summer interns has just launched his first iPhone application: iSkip. The program is deceptively brilliant and something only a 17 year old high schooler could come up with: iSkip simply asks you how sick you want your mom (or dad or boss) to think you are (“not feeling so well”, “under the weather”, “about to die” etc.) and then it transforms in to a vary convincing and high-tech looking thermometer which you hold to your head while it “reads” and displays your vitals. Brilliant.
Once even more impressive is that this is John’s first application and he taught himself the iPhone programming language in just a few weeks. He now has an application for sale ($0.99) in a store that reaches millions of people every day and a revenue sharing deal (70/30) with one of the world’s largest electronic manufacturers. Anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch can use their computer or phone to buy his software and Apple sends him a check in the mail. And all this took him three weeks to set up. And he isn’t old enough to vote.

UPDATE: iSkip is available for FREE for today only (February 10th)
