The
App Store, so far, has seen a number of duplicate apps. One group of dupes we're seeing: dice rollers. Makes sense if you twist an old saw to say "if your input involves shaking, everything starts to look like an accelerometer." Or something.
My personal favorite for randomness is
MotionX Dice. It has polish and allows you to roll one to five six-sided dice at a time. I also happen to use
Dice Bag (iTunes link), but that's because my
nerd blood runs deep. Still, there are
plenty to choose from.
So what to do with all those dice-rolling apps? On the next page I've got a roundup of games you can play
with dice. Some involve a pencil and paper for score keeping or whatnot, but all use dice as the basis for the game mechanics. Next time you're stuck in the doctor's office, don't just give your kids
DizzyBee, play a "real" game with them!

The professional bullshit artists and dumbass fleecers over at Monster have devised another way to remove money from the wallets of the ignorant: cleaning sprays.
They've released five different sprays for five different types of devices: a camera spray, a cell phone spray, an iPhone spray (Buchanan posits that this one is made of pure angel tears), a GPS spray and a laptop spray. Yes, Monster wants you to think that your GPS and your cellphone need separate sprays, lest your phone is destroyed by the magical chemicals that can only clean a surface that displays driving directions. While yes, perhaps laptop screens need a different spray than the glass iPhone, this is a bit beyond overkill.
Each bottle of these precious fluids cost $10, which is a pretty sizable markup seeing that they just took a bunch of Windex, watered it down and put it into tiny bottles with different colored labels on it. [CrunchGear]

Looks like LG wants some bite to back up the
PRADA II's bark -- assuming both the device and its specs are real, of course, since we've been basing everything we know about Lucky Goldstar's rumored fashion monster on rumors thus far. The latest word on the street has the phone packing a what's-what of good things, ranging from a 5-megapixel autofocus cam, wide QVGA display (with capacitive touch, we can only imagine), HSDPA 850 / 2100, motion sensing, an FM radio, and a WiFi radio for those poor US souls who find themselves surrounded by more 1900MHz 3G than 850. It certainly all sounds real enough -- not as revolutionary as the
first PRADA may have been, but a solid upgrade. While we're waiting for LG to sort this business out in a slightly more official capacity, we'll be working on the
Armani, we s'pose.

While Kevin "Father of Digg" Rose may believe that iTunes 8 is hitting during the September 9th Apple event, Ars "Probably More Reliable" Technica says that Rose has the date wrong. Gizmodo "We Wish We Were More Than One Word So This Middle Name Motif Worked Better" doesn't really mind either way, as long as John "John Mayer Here" Mayer shows up to rock the house with at least two Bluetooth headsets on. Update: Ars is now saying that iTunes 8 WILL be at the Sept. 9 event.[arstechnica]
