Weird. 'Weird Al' Yankovic releases interactive ebook app Know.




The scoop focuses on eight-year-old Billy and the various jobs he imagines he might hold once he grows up. While you can barely use the app as a glorified, touchable ebook, you can also let Yankovic study the fairy tale to you; the words he speaks are highlighted as he says them. When you’re finished reading the story, the app’s built-in games let you strain out some of the vocations Billy considers; you can crop a tarantula, manipulate a gorilla, and mill-race snails; the app promises that more games are coming soon. As you know through the book, tilting and tapping your machination elicits all sorts of unseen surprises: On one screen, tilting might persuade Billy’s crayons earth-slip around his desk; swiping on another hide sends his homework flying.
