Ask Maggie: Five smartphone apps to try before the rapture
Naturally, you're wondering: What smartphone apps should I try before the rapture?
Alright, I admit that may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But this week, I did get that question. So I thought I'd have a little fun in answering it. (Full disclosure: I personally don't believe that the end of the world begins tomorrow. In fact, I'm crossing my fingers to finally get some rays of sunshine in gloomy NYC.)
Also in this week's Ask Maggie column, I answer a couple of more serious questions. First, I offer some recommendations for a replacement smartphone to a Verizon Wireless subscriber. And I explain to another reader what is happening with the so-called "4G" wireless technology WiMax.

Apps for the RaptureDear Maggie,
Here's what I'd suggest:
5. Games, games, games: The end of the world may be near, but everyone needs to have some fun. So I'd recommend downloading some games onto your smartphone, like Angry Birds , Fruit Ninja , or even Zombie Fight . At the very least these games will help you blow of some steam while you wait for the earthquakes to start and the plagues to get underway. There's nothing like catapulting those cute little Angry Birds at some pesky pigs or slashing up some fruit to make you feel better when you know the world will begin self-destructing in less than 24 hours. And if you really want to get into the spirit of fighting off the walking dead, try Zombie Fight. This game is free and lets you take your iPhone and "beat the brains out of the walking dead" by swinging your phone around.
4. Pandora: I love the Internet radio app Pandora . And I particularly love using it when I have a party. So if you're thinking of hosting a Rapture-themed party, this could be the app that sets the right mood. It's free to download. You simply type in an artist, a song or genre of music, and Voila! You're good to go for party music all night. You might want to consider: typing in "Rapture" by Blondie or REM's "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I feel fine)" and see what other fun songs you come up with to go along with your Rapture-themed party. Trust me, your guests will love it.
3. Foodspotting: My CNET News colleague Erica Ogg recommends Foodspotting . It's an app very similar to Yelp! But instead of rating an entire restaurant, people rate specific dishes at restaurants. Erica and I both agree that this app is a must-have to help you select your final meal before the world ends. After all, you can't ascend into heaven on an empty stomach. And it should be a meal to remember for all eternity.
