iPhone Fake Call App Bails You Out of Awkward Situations
10:37AM Gizmodo US Edition | Magic Tap, a 99-cent iPhone application, lets you send fake calls to yourself on command, just in case you ever need an excuse to get out of an awkward situation such as a horrible blind date, or having “that talk” with your girlfriend.

However, keep this in mind: setting the caller I.D. to “Shakira” with a steamy photo of the diva probably wouldn’t be too convincing, so you better stick with using Jason Chen’s sexy mug instead. We’ve even provided one for you after the cut. [PC World] More »
