    When we have nothing better to do here at TUAW, we throw around hypothetical product ideas. Because that's the kind of fun and enlightened people we are. At least that is for "twisted and demented" values of "fun and enlightened". How else are we supposed to torture our readers? Here are some of our fake Apple product ideas for your enjoyment. iGevalt: Apple's new data recovery program. It doesn't work particularly well, as the software has a tendency to dramatically throw up its hand and sulk in the corners of your desktop so you'll feel guilty about having forgotten to properly perform your backups. iVey: The companion software to the iGevalt, the iVey (also known as the iVeyIstMir in early product releases), is the next generation of Getting Things Done. It reminds you about all your appointments at least a day after you've missed them. iProd: Moving well beyond the GTD methodology into actual reward/punishment reinforcement. Available in 30 Gigavolt and 80 Gigavolt models. iCarumba: Software that actually will eat your shorts. Not for use with donuts. D'oh! iiiLucy: An iLife add-in that not only translates your error messages to Spanish, but adds illuminating commentary such as 'What have you done this time!?" iiiiCanta-y-no-llores: The newest and best Garage Band plug-in, adding a Latin touch to all your compositions. iSpy: Not an actual or theoretical Apple product. A very decent 1960's TV thriller with Bill Cosby and Robert Culp. Not available on iTunes. Okay. We're going to stop now and turn the ropes over to you, the readers. What silly iProducts can you think of? Let us know in the comments.
