Bill Gates on the iPad: “A lot of those users are frustrated” – but we keep buying iPads
Mr. Gates is right that an awful lot of production and content creation oriented iPad users are frustrated with the iPad's limitations and angularities—the lameness of its select/cut/paste/copy editing functions, the lack of a user accessible...Show More Summary
The Wolf Among Us, based on the comic book Fables, announced [gallery]
Telltale Games (Back to the Future, The Walking Dead) has just announced The Wolf Among Us, based on the comic book Fables by Bill Willingham. Set before the start of the series, it casts the player as Bigby "The Big Bad" Wolf, one of many characters from fairy tales who have escaped into the modern world and live secretly in New York.
Adobe Creative Cloud makes Photoshop and the CS apps available as monthly rentals only
Adobe Creative Cloud membership will be US$49.99 per month. Sorry, but I won't be signing up. I don't rent software, at least not if I can help it. Pixelmator sells on the App Store for 20 bucks. If you need more power than that, the GIMP is free, and you can put up with a lot of learning curve climbing to save fifty bucks a month in rental fees. Forever. Or, at least I can.
Q Card Case for iPhone 5 review
I'm not typically a fan of this type of case since most of them add too much bulk to the iPhone in order to accomodate the extra pockets for putting in those case or credit cards. The Q Card Case is no exception, and yet I like it. After trying it out, I was surprised by its perfect fit on the my iPhone 5.
Chrome Industries introduces two new welded bags for MacBook, iPad
The company whose tagline is "The original maker of bombproof gear for living and riding the city" has introduced two new bags for the urban commuter. Whether you're biking, walking, or taking the train, Chrome Industries' new Postbag or Rucksack can get your gear there safely. Show More Summary
Props Power case for iPad includes keyboard and 8000mAh battery
Those looking to use their iPad as a laptop (and there are many of us out there) need two things out of a case: a keyboard and power. The Props Power case from Digital Treasures provides both, integrating an external 79 key keyboard (with 13 custom iPad keys) and an 8000mAh battery.
Evilot: Kill the heroes, protect your gold
It should be simple to be an evil overlord in retirement; you're not bothering the general public (any more), so no one should bother you, right? Wrong. Your hordes of presumably ill-gotten gold have attracted legions of adventurers, and now you have to summon your minions to protect it in the forthcoming game Evilot by Syrenaica.
Appidemic: Sorcery! for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Before there were interactive ebooks, there was interactive fiction—books that put you into the story by breaking the narrative into decision points where you made a choice on how to proceed. Steve Jackson's Sorcery! series blended interactive fiction with roleplaying by introducing randomized combat and magic. Show More Summary
Quicksilver launcher utility for OS X review
After almost 10 years of beta testing, Quicksilver finally announced "final" 1.0 status a few weeks back. Quicksilver is a launcher utility app (and a whole lot more, if you want it to be) for Mac OS X that gives you the ability to perform common, everyday tasks rapidly and efficiently.
Gmail app for iOS updated with new features
Google has launched an update to their Gmail app, giving it a few improvements and new features that will enhance the way iPhone owners use Gmail as their primary email account. The much needed enhancement is the new ability for users to select how to web links in your emails—through Google's Chrome, YouTube, or even Google Maps, rather than with Apple's apps.
Leviathan: Warships now available for iOS, Android
iOS and Android users have many ways they can settle arguments over which is the better platform. They can compare features and customer satisfaction statistics, they can strip to the waste and duke out it out Fight Club style in a back alley, or they can pick up the turn-based strategy game Leviathan: Warships from Paradox Interactive.
XSEED wants you to know they’re Marvelous, dahling
Why, it was just last month that we published our review of of XSEED's first iOS game—Ark of the Ages —and now they've gone and rebranded themselves on us. Marvelous USA, Inc. is the new U.S.-based publishing operation of Japanese publisher MarvelousAQL Inc., and will oversee all the company’s U.S. Show More Summary
No real reason to fear The Night of the Rabbit
First, to stave off disappointment, it seems Daedalic Entertainment's The Night of the Rabbit isn't, in fact, a video game version of Night of the Lepus. Instead of answering the question, "What happened that night science made its gravest mistake?" The Night of the Rabbit is an adventure game for Mac and PC that asks "What if magic truly did exist?"
Appidemic: LEGO Batman: DC Superheroes for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
I suppose the great thing about Batman is that he works on multiple levels. He works when he's sad and carrying a bomb on a helicopter, he works when he's goofy and carrying a bomb over his head, and he works when he's a LEGO minifig faced with plastic bombs. Show More Summary
E3 2013: Mac games at a gaming expo? Absurd!
This June will mark the third time I've attended E3 on behalf of AppleTell. The first time was E3 2011, when I mostly went to assist GamerTell with their Nintendo coverage, and to dig up whatever OS X or iOS material I could find. This year, I may have to pull some of the GamerTell staff over to help me out.
Bring wireless audio to your 30-pin speaker dock with BlueReach
Apple's AirPlay is a wonderful thing, if you have it. If not, you need to upgrade not only your iDevice, but your speaker dock as well if you want to get wireless audio. Or, you could simply pick up the Pyle BlueReach—an adapter that...Show More Summary
Apple and Innovation: A Roadmap to WWDC 2013
With so little news from Apple since the launch of the iPad Mini, everybody from fanboys to Wall Street are a bit nervous that Cupertino's mojo has evaporated. I think we're in a transitional period, and if you look at Apple's long term future there's little cause for alarm. Show More Summary
Mr. Runner 2: The Masks for iPhone, iPod touch review
Mr. Runner 2: The Masks for iPhone and iPod touch may start in a green field, but there is something lurking in the tall grass. Don’t worry about him, though; the game is an enjoyable installment in the Mr. Runner series, and for only $0.99, it provides descent entertainment value for money. The gameplay is very simple, but the timing challenge will hold your attention.
An Apple iCar would be more exciting than an iTV, iWatch, or bonds
Apple should enter the car space, buy Tesla, and make Elon Musk the CEO. People love cars, and an Apple iCar would be beautiful, connected, and intelligent, and it would do all the little things that delight you and make you fall in love with your car.
May the 4th be with you, Mac gamer
My lack of interest in Star Wars is well documented, but that doesn't mean you can't have a great time with it. I mean, I don't like baseball or cottage cheese, either, but I would never interfere with your enjoyment of them...no matter how little sense it makes. Show More Summary
