App review: Abstract strategy game StackEm plunks down some fun

A clone of the award-winning game Gobblet (which was given the Neighbourhood Toy Stores of Canada Gold Star Award –don’t tell me you haven’t heard of that prize), Shawn Grimes’ StackEm is a colorful, simple twist on Connect Four that is well worth looking into as a two-person endeavor on your iDevice. The app as [...]

Google Voice may finally be approved for the App Store

After a saga that’s lasted more than a year, it looks like Google Voice-enabled app GV Mobile may finally be approved for the App Store. Following recent announcements that gave developers far more transparency into the actual rules of Apple’s App Store approval process, Google Voice developer Sean Kovacs mused on Twitter, “Since GV Mobile [...]

Adobe resumes efforts on Packager for iPhone

With the news that Apple has eased restrictions on third-party development tools, a very excited-sounding Adobe has announced it will resume working on its Flash-to-iPhone compiler, Packager for iPhone.
Soon after the news leaked in April that Apple was restricting third-party tools, a very publicly angry Adobe announced that its fledgling Packager app, part of Flash [...]Sep 10th, 2010 | Filed under Tuaw -
Psystar is dead. Long live Quo Computer

While we all know the story of Psystar, the company that crashed and burned by loudly selling non-Apple Macintosh computers with OS X installed, a much quieter and more polite company named Quo Computer seems to be doing just fine. Their mission is to get computers that can run the Macintosh OS into as many [...]

Case study: Griping about signal quality can produce results

For most iPhone owners, it seems like AT&T is deaf to our complaints about signal quality. It appears, however, that griping loudly and repeatedly to the company does have an effect.
I live in the suburbs south of Denver and my signal quality is pretty good. However, whenever my wife and I have gone to [...]

Apple Newton to be reborn as iPhone case

Isn’t it nice when siblings get along? Here’s an idea for using a dead, hollowed-out Newton Message Pad as an Phone case. Case hacker Charles Mangin has had success with other projects, like the Mac Plus G4, the Mac mini stuffed into an Apple Disk II floppy drive and the iNewt. So far he’s only [...]

Apple HDR head to head with two top competitors

I recently expressed surprise that Apple has dipped into the world of HDR (high dynamic range) photography. It’s a great upgrade for the camera, and will help users get better pictures if they use the feature wisely and at the right time.

GetGlue goes iPad

GetGlue users who have iPads have a reason to get happy today — there’s an official GetGlue iPad app available in the App Store. We talked about the Glue social network and iPhone app when it debuted a few months ago, and Glue is now quite popular. It’s great to see the GetGlue app on [...]

Tearing apart an old Apple TV just for the heck of it

My “love” for the original Apple TV is well-documented. I purchased a 40 GB model not long after the device hit the market, and found it not to my liking. I hated how I had to slowly sync everything to the device, it had little space to begin with (yeah, I know I should have [...]

Steve Young Football for iPad ads spoof 90s commercials

Apparently there is an iPad game behind these crazy commercials, but we posted them mainly because they’re hilarious. The spot above will be familiar to anyone who grew up in the ’90s as a spoof of the old Crossfire commercials that took a mechanical board game way too seriously. You’d probably be forgiven for noticing [...]
