When I want to aggregate all of my stray bits of HTML or notes to myself, I generally just toss everything into my MacBook’s Stickies application. I’ll be the first to admit it: this slapdash solution is kind of a mess...
A book that I tend to re-read every year just because I like it so much is “The Diamond Age” by Neal Stephenson. It’s steampunk meets cyberpunk, East meets West, and very very cool. At the center of the story is ...
I’m calling it right now: if Spielberg ever shoots a movie on his iPhone, he’ll probably use Directr to do it. The reason is simple: Directr takes away all of the hassle of editing short video clips because it uses a s...
Although it’s been around for a little while now, I only stumbled across Appy Geek in the past week or so. We’ve actually reviewed this app before, though not for iOS devices. Our own Brendan reviewed the Android versi...
Apps are like books: no matter how much you love them, you’ll probably never have the time to check out all of them in your lifetime. When it comes to find new Mac Apps, you’ve got a few options: read a tech blog to di...
The new iOS app Umano bills itself as “interesting news read by real people .” If you’re the type of person who really digs podcasts, NPR, and internet radio, Umano is a handy app that will let you consume your n...

I think everyone goes through a phase where they want to grow up and become a director. Some people grow out of it, or get frustrated because of the cost of the tech it takes to shoot and edit a movie. And more often than not, edi...
A quick search of Amazon tells me that Word for Mac 2011 will cost you the exorbitant sum of $120 (not much of a savings off the list price of $139.99, is it?) So what’s a cash-strapped writer to do? Thankfully, you don̵...
Who wants an app that only does one thing? The best apps are the ones that deftly combine two related sets of functions to create a super-app. Like peanut butter and jelly, PicsArt Photo Studio combines two great ideas in one tast...
I remember when “Iron Man” came out in 2008, and how angry people were when they realized they were supposed to stick around until the end of the credits to see the “bonus scene” with Samuel L. Jackson. Mos...
Most of us use our iPhones for two things: staying in touch with other people, and killing time while we wait for those people to show up and meet with us. A person can only play so many rounds of Angry Birds, so I try and keep a ...
I can rip open a computer and tell you what each of the components does. But if you ask me to do the same thing under the hood of my car, I’d be at an utter loss. And I’m even more clueless when it comes to knowing wha...
