    I didn't think I'd make for a good NSA agent until I played TouchTone. The iOS puzzle game had me looking for enemies of the state by scouring text messages and emails, and it didn't faze me one bit. It's absolutely unlike how I am in real life. I'm not a voyeur in any sense of the word, nor am I nosy. To this day, if my dad asks me to grab his debit card, I just bring him his wallet because I'd rather not snoop through people's stuff. The allure of invading someone's privacy isn't my bag whatsoever. And frankly, how quickly that all fell away once I started TouchTone shocked me.

    To continue our in-depth coverage of the blazing hot aromatic device market, we wanted to share this thoughtful product from iLuv that clearly taps into a niche market that had previously gone unsatisfied. Shiny Shiny got the scoop on this touchtone phone with an integrated pot pourri holder built into the base -- clearly a boon for those special nights when you leave the phone off the hook and need to freshen up the place for sexy time. You know, very few companies are interpreting the meaning of "convergence" quite like iLuv, and we can't help but applaud them. Just remember, kids -- this ain't the burning type of pot pourri, mkay?
