Of course a review wouldn't be honest with at least trying this, ***sigh*** even though I knew ahead of time what this would bring to my desktop. For one, I feel the threat level system is ridiculous and does nothing but cause people to over react but that's another story, so.... Ok, it's nothing personal of course. Seems like they did a good job with it regardless and perhaps would think of creating something else that we can use? But no, I don't recommend this for many reasons and as with anyone, is just my opinion.

Why build an app for this? You can get the same effect by placing a yellow icon on your desktop. It will change color just as often as the threat alert. Should the "Color Of The Day" change, unless you live in a cave like Osama, you'll know. Every news service around will be screaming about it immediately and then constantly every minute of the day and night. This app updates every 7 hours, so any changes in the "hysteria level" might be old news before it's icon changes color. Yes, I downloaded it. It's cute. I LOVE the "Duct Tape" icon setting (duct tape? I laughed and laughed!). All in all, a nicely done, but almost entirely useless app that even the author admits is a bit silly.

This is by far the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a long time. Why on earth would I want to be reminded what few idiots in Washington feel about a "color for today" I'm sure you have great skills in writing apps, dear Author. Please use it for something that actually makes sense and does not place people in a fake bubble of the fools in government.
