Apparently somebody made an iPhone App which costs $1,000 and all it does is to reassure you that you are rich and you can show the app to your friends to show them that you are rich.
Who would fall for something like that? High School boys! Check out http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/08/high-school-stu.html to learn more about the app and the high school boy. The article asks "Where di he get his money from" and without any research I would guess from being a son of somebody who has $1,000 to blow.
To understand what is going on I will tell you about a guy I know. A normal student, standard stipend, but owning some Porsche Carrera -- which is a hand-down from his dad who just gave hime the car when he didn't need it any more. Well, when he married he got as a wedding gift a Prius because gas prices are not really encouraging commuting ina Carrera. What's this guys major source of income? Being a son -- and go over the campus I have never seen so many luxury cars...

Student Group CEO
Any organization has a president, a treasurer and a secretary -- those are the ones who have the authority to sign contracts, checks, or anything. A CEO is some kind of fantasy title which does not have any legal meaning nor any authority -- that's why in most corporations the CEO is also the president (or the president acts as the CEO) and some corporations have fantasy titles (I still prefer King)
Usually a student group has a president to stay in line with how things are in the real world. But some students feel it gives their resume more cachet if they are the CEO of a group -- especially business plan competitions call their head honchos CEO in the hope this will help them to sway more influcence in the venture scene. This just confuses from the real issue -- who is calling the shots - who is the president?
By the way I am the Chief Blogging Officer, King, CEO and everything else of titleoftheday.blogspot.com -- if I would add that to my resume would you hire me? So why are you going after some CEO of some student group to better cafeteria food?
