I love fish. I love going to aquariums to see sharks, jellyfish, and stingrays. I love visiting the fish section of my local pet shops to see the beta fish, seahorses, and various underwater plant life. What I don’t like is taking care of the little stinkers. The cost of a fish take alone is enough to keep me from ever delving into the world of aquatic pet ownership. Toy maker “Wow! Stuff” has a solution that is more than just an app with virtual fish.

jailbreak-ipad2Yesterday was a big win for the jailbreaking community in the war to legalize unlocking of devices. Both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Obama Administration announced that they would urge Congress to overturn a ruling last year by the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress that made it illegal for consumers to unlock their cell phones.

In a petition that was created on January 24, more than 114,000 signatures prompted the White House to make a statement on unlocking phones. R.

slingshothdSlingshot Puzzle HD from Alawar is a game that will require skill, logic, and a bit of luck. The idea is to line up and fling a ball to collect a number of gems in each level, avoiding obstacles along the way. It’s a bit like a cross between a physics-based puzzle and a game of pool.

When you begin the game, you will see a sleek wooden playing field, a set of three gems, and a ball launcher. The first step is to line the launcher up with the gems. After that, pull back to launch the ball, where it must run into all of the gems before hitting the end point.
