Beer O’Clock iPhone app will rock your weekend!

It’s Saturday, hence I’ll take the opportunity to rant about a neat, yet quite useless iPhone app called Beer O’Clock.

If Danger’s going to switch up its Hiptop platform strategy in the era of Microsoft ownership, you think that it might be to… oh, we don’t know, something even remotely Microsoft-related.
