Parental Controls Kid on iPadTablets are the new black. Or, at least ABI Research thinks it will be five years from now. According to a recent report from the analytics firm, revenue from tablet apps will reach 35 percent of all app revenue in 2013 and will outpace smartphones by 2018.

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.

ambifyI have had a Philips Hue since December, and it is without a doubt one of the best Apple accessories that I own. If you’re not familiar with it, Hue is a Wi-Fi-based lighting system that can be controlled with your iPhone or iPad, adjusting your lights to any color of the rainbow.

The included Philips app, while decent, barely scratches the surface of what the Hue is capable of, so it has been great  to see a few fantastic apps that use the Hue trickle out. Ambify, which was released this week, is one of those impressive Hue apps that show what the Hue bulbs are capable of doing.

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.
