DrawQuest is a new app that was developed by 4chan founder Chris Poole, aka “moot.” Don’t worry, though. DrawQuest is entirely different than the media sharing site, which is often filled with questionable content.
Instead, DrawQuest is a simple and fun community-based sketching app. According to Poole, the app is all about “relearning to express yourself creatively and sticking with it.” It doesn’t matter what your skill level is, you can have fun creating images and expressing yourself in this app.

Last March, Apple began its dividend and share-repurchasing program. The company plans to dish out more than $45 billion over a three-year process through the hybrid approach it settled on last year. Each quarter, Apple pays shareholders a $2.65 per-share dividend. Coincidentally, today is payday for the current quarter. Happy Valentine’s Day, love Apple.
Autodesk is back with 123D Creatures, an iPad app that lets you bring your imagination to life with the creation of fun 3-dimensional creatures. Begin by designing your creature and ‘sculpting’ in your detail, which can include adding skin, feathers, wings, fins, horns, claws or paws to your biped or quadruped. When everything is just how you saw it in your head, export your finished product into an image or 3D model, share it with all of your friends and family on Facebook and Twitter or “have it 3D printed into a real sculpture!”

These sites offer consumers products that are ready to buy and ship. No more waiting!
