zombie app 

A zombie app is something that you accepted online long ago and rarely heard from. Now, it's acting undead, contacting you out of nowhere. You panic because you thought you paid them to go away for three years. And, you probably did.

Your account is paid up but they have forty new offerings you don't want. They know you'll panic because you think you got amnesia and your website's about to be shut down for non-payment.

They're able to go into the false-alarm business because giving an online company your email was so innocent back then. So innocent...

Webintellects and Adobe used to be once-a-year passive resets. Now they're the undead--{zombie apps], spamming my email twice a week with rent-seeking advertising junk they want to sell me.

A seemingly random calendar invite that shows up in your diary; the origins of which appear to be unknown.

This is a zombie appointment and I am cancelling it.

Apple Zombie 

n. (ap-uhl zom-bee)

Caution: Careful with this bunch. They're usually spotted toting fancy touchy-screen magic-box cellular internet devices in public. The douchébags will most likely possess multiple miniature music storage & delivery devices. These devices can only be purchased with magic beans. They've been known to viciously stone non-followers to death, sometimes munching on their corpses in nearby Starbucks Cafés, occasionally mixing their leftover innards into the espresso shots, laughing at the rest of us. Pompous ass-holes.

After 'drinking the Snapple', Johnny waddled to his nearest Apple Store, where he joined the other Apple Zombies to camp out for the newest offering from Apple: The iDrone.
