If The iPhone Gets You Laid, Is It Called A Steve Job?

Because, for gay people, technology doesn't matter until it can get you fucked, we have Grindr, a new free application for the iPhone that locates the fags closest to you so that you can screw.

Here's how it works: when you rev Grindr up on your phone (or iPod Touch), it uses GPS to locates all the other users online and ranks them based on how close they are to you. You can then look at the guys' profiles and pictures and contact them. Or, if you prefer, you can find them on the street and stalk them and make sure they're not going to the pharmacy to refill their Valtrex perscription.

While we love getting laid, we find this application a little odd. Let's face it: the only places with enough iPhones and enough queers for this to be handy are cities like New York, L.A., and SF, where you can always just, you know, say hi to the hot gay guy on the street, rather than sending him an IM. Whatever happened to good, old-fashioned-street cruising—you know, where you take three steps and then you both look back and smile? Oh, and we don't recommend that you use this in a gay bar—that would kind of be like when the Ghostbusters cross streams or something.
