iPhone users have long relied upon applications to make sure they wake up on time, check their email, book holidays, read newspapers and even ensure they don’t miss their favourite TV programmes. Some users say it’ll do everything but make the tea.
So whilst we’re not surprised, we ARE highly concerned that world leaders will be able to use their iPhone to launch an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) from anywhere in the world with a 3g internet connection (or wifi).
The NSA has tried to keep it under wraps, but, at great personal danger, {website name removed} has obtained a screenshot of the app which appears below:





The scary thing is that over 70 million mobile phones are reported lost in America every year. How long before a Nuke enabled iPhone turns up on Ebay?
What do you think? Natural evolution of technology or the beginning of WW3?

As April fools go this isn't terribly good. However, if someone writes that app for android, I would pay 50p for it.

I'm wondering now if 50p of your money is worth my spare time this evening?

I would imagine making an app related to launching ICBM's (joke or not) for an OS called Android is a sure fire way of bringing about the apocalypse by way of SkyNet and Arnold Schwazenegger.

A mini Nuke over 10 downing street would be nice just as long as only Cleggy and Cameron were there
