I’m always on the lookout for great software for my kids to use on their iMacs. I like to find stuff that will hold their attention, and keep them coming back to use the software. My daughter likes to download trial games and educational software. This is also another great way to see if she’s [...]

We originally asked for a ScreenGuardz, but a shipping mix-up afforded us the ability to try out NLU Products’ BodyGuardz instead. We’re glad they made the mix-up, because they gave us the opportunity to talk about the importance of protecting the glass on your iPhone. Sure, a BodyGuardz protector isn’t going to protect you [...]

I have had it for a while, and now [...]

PayPal for the iPhone, sending money just got a lot easier.

Sending money to someone else has never been easier. Luke Bornheimer of 9to5Mac reports that PayPal’s updated iPhone app allows you to send money from your iPhone using Bump technology.

Mega Man II for the iPhone demonstrates how crappy touchscreen controls can be.

I played my fair share of the original Mega Man II, and frankly I should have left my memories in the past instead of trying to relive them on the iPhone version. Mega Man II was probably one of the defining moments in my gaming life. It was one of the first games that stuck [...]

Flood-It! Over, and over, and over…

What I love about my iPod Touch is the fact that I can waste time on it in a lot of different ways. Especially when I’m waiting anywhere where they don’t allow cell phones. Here enters Flood-It! by LabPixies. It’s a free app that is also a very addicting game. It works by changing the colour of [...]

It’s figuring out what I feel like eating, what I have in my pantry, and what I need to buy. Cookmate tries to solve that problem by suggesting recipes based on the ingredients you have [...]

Use one Keyboard and Mouse for all of your Computers

After doing some shuffling of desks, I now have my iMac and my MacBook Pro sitting next to each other. Everything was going well until I began to tire of switching between keyboards and mice every time I switched computers. Some quick Googling lead me right to Synergy. This tiny application allows you to use one [...]
