Outland Games LogoEndless runner games are a dime a dozen in the App Store, and some of them are even “free-a-dozen.” So, it is not easy to find a refreshing and interesting way to make a game that people will enjoy. Right out of the gate, I knew that Outland Games would hold my interest, mainly because of the funny quips the announcer was say, but also because it is a smooth, fun, and exciting game for the endless runner genre.

Players are set to become infamous by running a course that is intended to entertain the masses and kill the runner. Jump, slash, and run your way through robot warriors, spiky pits, and increasingly difficult terrain.

The Fashion Camp ipad-case

Once again, we are on the search for fun and fantastic ideas for accessories that you can make at home for your iPad. Last week, we found a clever crafter who figured out a way to make an airline headrest mount. I’m pretty sure that U.S. planes don’t have the Velcro headrest cover needed for this project, but it is a clever idea, just the same.

This week, we are going to show you a fun way to make an iPad sleeve using nothing but duct tape and an old t-shirt. Is there nothing that the waterproof adhesive can’t do?

Malware Attack

Last week, F-Security released a report showing that Android wins over iOS in one important category: malware. Apple has done such a good job of keeping users protected from easy invasion of malicious content that it only generates 0.7 percent (that’s less than 1 percent, folks) of all mobile malware. That doesn’t mean the operating system is safe from a massive attack from creepy creepers. Security firm Skycure pointed out a very easy way that malicious software could make its way onto your iOS device.

Make Beautiful Presentations on your iPad with Haiku Deck — iPad App Review

Haiku Deck LogoI’m old enough that I wasn’t taught how to make PowerPoint presentations in school. When I finally made it to college, I was about 10 years older than my classmates, who all learned how to use the Microsoft program and said things like, “It’s super easy” and, “You just have to add some pictures and some text.” I never did try to master the program. Someone else was always willing to take on that part of the group project and I was able to slip through without ever learning how to make a computer slideshow.

Thank goodness for Haiku Deck for making presentation creation easy and beautiful for people like me. The app is so easy to figure out that even an old timer like me can make stunning presentations with very little effort.
