What's the creepiest thing about vampire apps?
- They are sucking your battery dry, and you don't even know it.
- If you do know it, and you need to use the app, you have
to do a bunch of workarounds to keep your phone alive.
- They take so long for developers to fix.
- The super creepy thing that some people are saying, where the Facebook app battery drain is due to the app keeping your phone's microphone on, so that Facebook can listen in to your life.

| About us... |
The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news.
We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, and The Joy of Tech is now in its, whoa... 15th year. We're very proud to be featured regularly on places like re/code!

We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on our MacBook Pros, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
