Open Source Media Player Review: aTunes
The trend toward strangely-capitalized programs is really annoying. The mediaplayer aTunes is trying to follow the iTunes naming model somewhat slavishly, so we’re stuck with that I suppose.

eWallet Go! Available on Whatever Durn Platform You Want, Pretty Much!
See, this is the kind of thing I like to see. ”Where do you stand on Android vs. iOS, Mr. Software Maker?” ”Why, we develop for both of the them, of course!” That’s right; they do the software, and you the happy consumer get to decide which platform is best for you. That’s what I [...]
Spring Cleaning: If an App Doesn’t Work with Evernote or Dropbox? Buh-Bye!
There are specific iPad applications that are key to my productivity day in and day out, and the “qualities” they need to have if I am to use them has evolved over time. Looking back over the ways in which they have changed in the last year or so, I realized that there is a [...]

Lo-Fi: A New Photo app for PC and Mac
So you’re watching a movie, right? And one of the characters was born in the middle part of the 20th Century.

Look, there’s the character as a tiny moppet, all bundled up [...]
Heywire App Mashes Texting, IM, and Social Media into One on Your Tablet
One of the things I love on my iPad is how much I can get done through one, well-connected app (in my case, Twitter). The ability of tech to link things that previously had been separated is just getting rolling, and I am happy to see it. Books and apps that utilize the capabilities of [...]
