Actually,

We already started working on app_makemoney, but that got replaced by
app_stealminutes which we developed for a VoIP carrier - for some
reason, they claim that 700mS is actually a full second - I'll never get
accountants, they were going on and on about the arbitrage of minutes
over a leased line and that the delay causes this.

I think that my favorite was app_crystalvoice - turns your voice
clearer over ulaw codec, every time you say a word, it automatically
sounds as if you're kissing up to someone - made specifically for
Mid-level managers wanting to step up in the chain of command. Actually,
this application was developed by another company in Israel, but they
are now busy developing app_cheatthecellcompany - they say there's more
money there.
