It''s EVER the right moment and place to remember that we occidental and 'democratic people' (and perhaps even to hypocrite!), was not able to stop the cruel interests of the Lords of Oil, that we had as head of our power not only a man that would give many trouble to every teacher and good father but that we was not able to stop them (the lords of olis!) to catch the White House against all democratic rules and to HOLD it WITH all democratic rules (the same that gave us as California's governor that Austrian body builder... perhaps is THIS the democracy we wanr 'export' in Iraq?), that we was not able to find a better democratic competitor then his own schoolmate and of the same 'club' (we... or they? :-)!!!) and vote it to not be involved in a disaster not only for that innocent people but even for many solders and.. for the imagine of democracy itself!! WE are THE DISASTER!! And we.. are out of control!! But we can change... if we can 'monitor us', using the mentality Ryand and his friends started to show us! Thanks again!

Let's get this out of the way first... I HAVEN'T downloaded this software and I don't intend to.
However, after reading the forum (which I do before downloading any software), I can't believe people get their knickers in a twist over this!
It's a horrible thing that's happened, yes. But at least someone's having a go at doing something positive. The name of the software is clearly to get some attention before alerting people to a method of helping the people in need.
In my home state of Tasmania (Australia) a teenager was hauled over the coals for setting up a web site to get donations that he could pass on to others, all without going through the correct channels.
The poor guy was moved so much he wanted to help all he could!
All you people need to read that last sentence again.
Last night all our commercial TV stations got together to simultaneously broadcast the same benefit show using presenters from each station. They raised over $15 Million (that's $10 mill to you americans). It was a very noble excercise..
BUT..
It ended up just being a bidding war - "How good am I? I just donated 50 grand! What about you?"
It made me sick.
The poorest of our stations (Channel 10) was the first to donate ($250,000). Within minutes, the next poorest came up with their bid (again, $250,000).
The point of all this is:
If you want to keep track of a death count, then download the software.
If you don't, then don't.
Don't berate a guy for having a heart and having a go!
I'm not downloading because it's not my thing and I know who I would donate to.
Besides, aren't these comments for commenting on how good the software actually is, not on the morality of actually writing it? That's the beauty of the internet, if people want something it's popular, if they don't it disappears. Don't download it, it won't be developed. Download it, and it will continue on until nobody wants it

I'm stunned by the exchange here. I did use the app. and wonder why it's 5meg. It is simple and is just a count of the dead with the links. The news org's haven't been very reliable on this. On 12-36 I got a CNN news alert crying about 11,000 killed due to an earthquake. They didn't even know about the Tsunami, or that a town the size of San Francisco was wiped out.
Now that I think about it, this application really serves no purpose than to provide 3 quick links to contribute to aid groups. The death count is really just an imaginary figure, they don't know how many died. I'm sure it is at least double what it is now, 157K. They found 7000 bodies?, or was it really 7073 bodies, or 6894 bodies. It's all guesswork. They're not even counting the bodies they find. They are trying to get them in the ground as fast as they can to avoid health hazards.
The death toll is a fiction, the best guess of some myopic bureaucrat somewhere.
And I agree a more interesting app. would be Iraqi dead and injured from the US invasion. It would be more accurate and realtime too. One man's ghoulishness is another's freedom of information. I'd find this useful in the same sense the national debt tickers are useful. It's a sign of our utter stupidity as a nation, and as a species.
