WiFiTrak 2.5 for iPhone

With WiFiTrak 2.5 for iPhone you find free and open WiFi hotspots and public access points quickly and easily for less than 1$. It shows a list of the networks sorted from most useable (open, not redirected, strongest signal) to least useable (secured or hidden, weak signal). It can automatically notify and launch mail or a browser when it finds a suitable network. One of the most useful paid apps for the iPhone, that I have seen for a long time!

pay as much as you want for lunch in Vienna

pay as much as you want for lunch in Vienna
This is definitively no April fools joke: there is a small Restaurant in the Heiligenkreuzerhof directly in the center of Vienna, Austria, called Hollmann Salon, where you can order a three course lunch special and you pay as much as you want.
BTW: just across the corner at Grashofgasse 3 they have a beautiful, small Hotel called Hollmann Beletage with prices starting at 150 Euros for the room. Includes freshly made breakfast, a small garden, real fireplaces and an absolutely cozy atmosphere.
