    While stocking its App Store with more than 100,000 iPhone applications in the space of 18 months, Apple let in some clunkers, but none were quite as mindless or repugnant as "Baby Shaker."
    The object of the 99-cent "game" was to silence the bawling of an animated baby by shaking the iPhone until two red X's appeared over the infant's eyes.

    "See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down," the instructions read.

    Two days after it appeared, Apple removed the app and apologized for letting it through. The company has since tightened up its approval process and started weeding out some of the dumber items. But there are still plenty more where this one came from.

    Dear Chrysler dealer: Good-bye
    Chrysler guillotined 25% of its dealership network in remarkably brutal fashion: It dispatched the bad-news letters by UPS the same day it went public with its list of 789 dealerships slated for termination. That meant many dealers found out from the press -- not Chrysler -- that they'd been whacked.
    General Motors also culled its dealer network this year, but at least it gave those it blackballed a year to wind down their operations. Chrysler offered less than 30 days. It was a financial wipeout, with dealers forced to liquidate their inventories for pennies on the dollar. Hundreds of brand loyalists that tried to "grab life by the horns" ended up getting gored.
