Fill Fuzzy Critter Bellies in Hamster Cannon – iPad Game Review

Hamster CannonIt would be an understatement to say that I’ve played my fair share of physics-based iPad games. It would also be an understatement to say that Hamster Cannon is anything other than awesome fun. It might go without saying that any game with goofy little hamsters as the star characters will make you smile but in this case they might actually make you giggle as well.

These hamsters are starving and it is your responsibility to fill their bellies; if only it were that easy. You start with Golden Noms cereal and no other way to feed these critters besides loading them into a cannon and shooting them toward their supper.

Adobe Releases Carousel Apps for MacOS, iOS

Adobe CarouselIn direct competition with Apple’s Photo Stream, Adobe has released their Carousel suite of apps for MacOS and iOS-based systems and devices. Carousel is Adobe’s entry into the cloud-based photography game and offers users of the system the ability to sync photographs across all of their devices.

In addition to sharing your photographs you can also do what Adobe describes as ‘non-destructive editing’ which they define as cropping, brightness, saturation, contrast, vibrance, white balance and exposure correction. By saying non-destructive they are making it clear that the original image is always preserved no matter what changes are made.

Another Masterpiece in Boynton’s Barnyard Dance – iPad App Review

Barnyard Dance - BoyntonLong before I ever had an iPad, my children and I had a shelf full of books by Sandra Boynton. Boynton’s vibrant and clever board books are cherished by children and enjoyed by parents. I never get tired of reading them to my family which is something I can’t say about any other titles.

Knowing this, you can imagine my delight when I found my first Boynton-themed iPad app. I am just as delighted today as I evaluate and review the latest addition to her iOS library: Barnyard Dance.

Convenient, Safe and Mobile – Pageonce’s Mobile Phone Bill Service Has To Be a Winner

The mobile financial service Pageonce was one of the first iPhone apps to be launched, and proved highly successful, quickly attracting a following of more than five million users. Although despite the service’s popularity, Pageonce has been missing one feature, mobile phone bill.

Being able to pay all your bills and manage your money, anytime, anywhere, from one convenient app, does sound appealing, although consumers may be reluctant to pay the $4.99 a month that the company is charging for the bill pay service on Pageonce’s iPhone and Android apps.

Publishers Call Apple’s NewsStand a Success So Far

newsstand

When Apple announced the Newsstand feature in iOS 5 my interpretation of the universal reaction was ‘oh yeah…’. I think most of us agreed that the concept was really pretty fantastic: all of our subscription-based publications brought together in a single location and updated automatically as new issues are available. But a lot of us who have embraced the fine art of digital subscriptions already have apps we like or routines we follow and I am not sure we realized just how handy it would end up becoming.

Apple CEO Dives into Apple’s Q4 Financial Details

Tim CookIt’s not that Tim Cook hasn’t delivered addresses like this for Apple before, but he’s always done it while giving us all this sense that he and his buddy Steve chatted about it a few minutes ago and they’d like to share it with us. You just never had the sense that he was all alone out there. At the risk of sounding a little creepy, I still had that sense today.

With the inside track telling us that while Apple posted record iPad sales in this last quarter, we also knew that they were falling a little short of expectations when it came to delivering iPhones to consumers.

Have a Perfectly Poopy Time with The Ogglies – A Dragon Party for Firebottom

The Ogglies - A Dragon Party for FirebottomThe Ogglies are very worried about their dinosaur, Firebottom, and decide to throw him a birthday party to celebrate and cheer him up.

Samsung Steals Apple Screenshot for Galaxy Player 50

It’s been a pretty lousy couple of weeks for Samsung. The company was denied its injunction against Apple products in the Netherlands, preliminarily banned from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, and suffered through a company attorney’s inability to distinguish from an Apple iPad from the Galaxy Tab.

Now Samsung’s in the spotlight again, for using a three-year old iPhone screenshot of Apple’s Maps application in marketing materials for its portable media player, the Galaxy Player 50.
