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.

gameloftIf you’re in the market for a super cute app, look no further than Monster Life. This adorable freemium app stars blocky 3D monsters that look a lot like paper cutouts. The colors are bright and the gameplay is simplistic, which makes it perfect for kids and adults alike.

This is a game that’s a lot like a cross between Nintendo’s Pokemon series and Farmville. You will collect monsters and use them to do battle with other monsters., while also maintaining a small village. Monster Life isn’t quite as in-depth as Pokemon and there are far fewer monsters to collect, but the battles are engaging and the environment can’t be beat.

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.
