Ever get the feeling the technology industry is trolling you?

Marketing shock tactics are nothing new, but the product itself is becoming the source of outrage, rather than the techniques used to promote it

Don't have time to pick up your dog's excrement but do have time to snap a photo and log its location in a smartphone app so that some poor soul can schlep across town to do it for you? Then Pooper is for you.

Yes, there really is an app for crap. Or at least a snazzy promotional website with a stinky strapline: "Your dog's poop in someone else's hands."
