...that there are some 10,000 applications available at the App Store, it makes it much harder for new apps to be discovered, some developers say. Brandon Bogle, an engineer and a co-founder of the Blimp Pilots - an ad hoc group of iPhone-app creators, who are otherwise employed as game developers - said its hit app Koi Pond, which sold 600,000 copies, was simply in the right place at the right time. "We were lucky enough to get in on day one, when people could find us. There are so many good apps for the iPhone, the problem...

Why not stick the band on a float, followed by a bunch of people in skeleton makeup, and have them march down a post-apocalyptic road? Why not put a damn blimp above it with a sign that reads “The Black Parade,” just in case there’s any confusion? Why not ramp up the drama by making it black and white except for splashes of red, and topping the whole thing off with snow? Why not give...
