There are enough camera apps out there to make your head spin. Many just don’t do the job but really, all you need is one camera, one fun cam, and one photo editor.
Best Camera:
Ultimate Camera – Sharp images, easy to use, love that you can choose to delete before saving to your camera roll. (Photo [...]

Here are the funnest, most educational apps to date for toddlers and childlike adults since our last review in February 2009.
1. Elephant Song
Wonderfully interactive, beautifully simple pictures, and a lovely song. When my son first played it, it was my morning anthem for a few weeks. After a while, I couldn’t get the [...]

After months with my iTouch now, I feel I know it as well as the back of my hand. So does Jack, my almost-3 year-old, hence more apps have been downloaded for him than myself and I daresay he spends more time on it than me. Educational games of course, and here are the best, [...]

Things I wish I knew before I bought the iTouch. (Sorry, it is just so much easier to say than iPod Touch so I’m going to regress.
1. No wall charger!
After years of buying non-Apple stuff, I never knew the iTouch would come WITHOUT a wall charger. It comes with a USB charger to hook up [...]

Yep, I betrayed my PC geek self and bought myself an Apple product. Why? Lack of substitutes, really. There’s nothing prettier or sleeker than the iPod Touch and though I still like to annoy my friends loyal to Apple by calling it the iTouch, I shall be PC (excuse the pun) and call it the [...]

Tired of Google, MSN, Yahoo, and that other new one no one seems to remember, something “cool”, launched by 2 ex-Googlers? Here’s something that will stick. Find.com – catchy and memorable no? I won’t forget this in a hurry.
The most important marketing tool for any website is its name. No matter how great the product, [...]

I’ve been a fan of glu since I started playing mobile games back when. Now I can’t remember what game that was nor which ones they are famous for, but I remember they make great games.

THE GOOD
1. Hire Your Own Party
One of the perks of playing Guild Wars is you can hire (for shared xp and gold) NPCs to join you in a party and avoid the potential social nightmare of hiring bad players and are guaranteed a skilled player, albeit computer. Of course, you’ll miss the social interaction with [...]

I’ve been using Flock for a while now and I have to say it rocks better than any other, even Firefox 3.0, which I find a vast improvement over Firefox 2 but its drop-down address bar just annoys me too much and I can’t be bothered to change it now that I have Flock.

1. Amazing Graphics
While World of Warcraft boasts a vivid landscape, let’s face it: the graphics are blocky and past the starter levels, most of the regions look depressing and dark (save for Stranglethorn Vale and Feralas – which is simply gloomy really).
