The Little Red Dot.

I see it right there, staring me in the face. It’s like a laser beam burning a hole in my retinas. I can’t help but click. That damn iOS notification red dot gets me every time. And things are about to get much worse. I’ve been addicted to Push Notifications since their inception with iOS 3 — and that’s in spite of the fact that they’ve more or less sucked for all but a handful of apps. But other apps like Boxcar have fixed that for me . And now Apple is on the verge of fixing them system-wide with iOS 5.
