In any social network, it can be hard to stand out from the pack. For the most part, everyone’s status updates look the same, and everything can sort of blend together. If you want to add a splash of color (and a dash of per...
In most of the world, the fax is a dinosaur, an outmoded piece of technology that takes up space in your office, but doesn’t really do much. I know that in Japan, they’re oddly still quite popular, and many people have...
Most of us don’t think about it, but physics is everything. Well, at least when it comes to games. Video games that lack realistic physics (or at least, consistently fantastic physics) are often games that frustrate players....
After playing Magic as a kid, I’m kind of a sucker for card games of all kinds. I’m a huge fan of the way an iPhone lets you play a collectible card game: there’s nothing worse than lugging around a box of cards,...
I am absolutely bloodthirsty when it comes to bargain hunting. I almost never buy apps at full price. Heck, I almost never buy ANYTHING at full price. So when an app that usually costs about as much as a large, fancy cup of coffee...

I have some less-than-fond memories of dealing with built-in camera timers on old-school cameras. There was nothing worse than trying to take a family photo and having the timer malfunction. Whether I was trying to take the pictur...
If you looked at my phone, you might think I have too many fitness apps. I have two different running apps, plus a walking app. It seems totally stupid, because I have three apps that do the exact same thing. But I really need thr...
For many of us, our iPhone is a device that we use to track the minutiae of our everyday lives. Not only do we update Twitter and Facebook with what we ate for lunch or what we saw on our commute, but many of us are also constantl...
“Liquid…makes you twice as fast.” That’s the bold statement made on the Liquid Mac App Store page. The official site also boasts a glowing testimonial from beloved actor and bon vivant Stephen Fry. With suc...
Facebook may be the most ubiquitous social network out there, but it doesn’t always suit the needs of all people. There are just some things you don’t want to discuss on Facebook, particularly if you are frustrated or ...
It’s interesting how your computer preferences can change over time. When I got my first MacBook, I was all about setting up a ton of widgets. Now, I only have five that I use regularly. After my widget phase, I was more int...
