Created by DLP Mobile, 'Replicator' hit the Android market Wednesday, much to the horror of just about everyone. "This app is certainly controversial, but can be helpful to people in relationships where this type of monitoring can be useful," Zak Tanjeloff, chief executive of DLP, told the New York Times. The best part about 'Replicator,' according to DLP, is its totally terrifying secrecy. "The app is unique because there is no visible icon or shortcut to access it, so once it's installed, it will continue to monitor without revealing itself," the company says. Great!
