CROWDED HOUSE

Livin’ Little: In old movies and Bugs Bunny cartoons, cons always ended up getting sent to the “big house” – you know, the slammer, the hoosegow, the grey-bar hotel. But somehow, doesn’t getting sent to the “little house” sound worse? Even in a Laura Ingalls Wilder kind of way? Not if it’s one of these little houses, which weigh in at 100 square feet or less, but provide all of the convenience you’d expect from the offspring of a boutique hotel and garden shed.

Push it: Your iPhone is great for reading e-mail, getting directions and taking embarrassing photos, but what about using it for a little demolition work? The Magic Mover app makes it look like a tiny on-screen bulldozer is moving your iPhone across the tabletop, knocking pistachios, pens and even dominoes right into next Tuesday. No word on whether it will cause battery drainage and/or screen smashage. Gizmodo has video at bit.ly/9xPbNF
