Maybe it’s just a coincidence but . . . the other day I followed a link to an article on The Verge about old video game (and pinball) arcades and how they’ve basically died off. But then today I got this announcement from Tozai about iOS and Android versions of Load Runner. Is it the [...]

Super Stickman Golf 2 Scheduled to be Released Early This Year
I fondly remember playing Super Stickman Golf on my HTC Thunderbolt after I got it for free thanks to the Amazon App Store’s daily free app promotions. It was one of my favorite games on Android for a long time. I downloaded it thinking it would be an interesting time waster; I never would have [...]
Paramount Pictures and Qualcomm Announce Unprecedented “Star Trek Into Darkness” App
You know, it’s kind of funny for me; I’ve been a nerd for almost as long as I can remember, and crazy about anything space-related. I was a wee one during the Apollo missions, and I’m sure that effected me strongly. But back then, being fanatical about Star Trek–I wanted to be Mr. Spock–was weird [...]
Android Mobile Musicians Rejoice – IK Multimedia Accessories Now Work on Android!
IK Multimedia is coming to Android full force this year at CES! Having just announced iRig Recorder for Android, they have opened the possibilities for mobile music-making on the platform. But just having an app isn’t good enough, you need ways to get your music into the app – so now IK Multimedia has announced [...]
IK Multimedia Brings Mobile Music to Android with iRig Recorder
For me, one of the deciding negatives regarding Android has been the lack of a low-latency core audio system as is found in iOS. And while that hasn’t been solved at a system level, talented developers such of products such as FL Studio have been working on their own solutions. Now IK Multimedia takes the [...]
Scansnap iX500 Scanner Review, the Best ScanSnap Scanner Yet
Scansnap’s scanners have been a mainstay of my move toward a paperless life. They have also played a huge role in my digitizing much of my rabbinic library. I wrote about it here and here and here and here. The hardware is always top-notch and the software integrates with the hardware to create [...]
Gamestick Portable TC Games Console
So there you are, playing your Android game on your tablet or smartphone, and you’re thinking, “Man, I wish I could play this on my TV.” And then you probably think that someone must have come up with a way to do that. And then you find out nope, it hasn’t happened. Yet. But the [...]

Epson Expression Photo XP-850 Small-In-One Review
We recently reviewed Epson’s Expression Premium XP-800 Small-in-One Printer. (Read the review.) I was impressed. Judie and I came back from Aruba having taken a huge number of pictures. Many of them can be seen in this post on “Amazing Aruba“. Some of them are so good that I wanted to print and frame them [...]

♫♫♫♫♫ ‘Tis The Season to Spend Money, fah lah lah lah, lah lah lah lah… ♫♫♫♫♫ The other day we brought word about Bluebird, a new joint initiative between American Express and Walmart. Bluebird lets you make direct deposits, pay bills online, deposit checks with your iPhone or Android device, set up Sub-Accounts, and more. [...]
Heart and Breath Rate Monitoring App for Android is Now Enhanced with Finger Pressed Feature
Not too long ago, I was overweight. Not fat–or at least, people kept insisting that I wasn’t fat–but for a guy who’s always been skinny, I felt fat. Unfortunately, I have a plate in neck and chronic post-surgical pain, so I’m “not allowed” to do anything genuinely strenuous. No soccer, ultimate frisbee, or even running [...]
NAVITEL® Announces Release of Latin America Navigation Maps
When I was a kid, I sometimes thought about being an explorer. You know, sort of like the kid at the beginning of the movie “Up.” You know: Hacking through the untamed jungles of South America, searching for the source of the Amazon! Or something! And of course when I got a little older, I [...]
Pocket Announces First Publisher Partnership With Kickstarter-Powered MATTER
Pocket is the app formerly known as ‘Read It Later’, and while simplistic that accurately describes what the app does. You are online and see something you want to read but don’t have the time – so you save it for later. Of course you could bookmark the link, but what if you know you [...]
After All That Turkey, Get Back on Track with the New Wahoo Balance Smartphone Scale
I don’t know about you, but when I saw the headline on this news piece my first thought was, “What, this is an app that will need me to be stepping on my smartphone? No way!” But that’s not what it is at all, as you might guess. No indeedy; the idea is that you [...]
Garmin Premium Navigation Apps 50% Off for Black Friday
Oh Black Friday, we can’t quit you! We’ve talked quite a bit about Apple’s mapping app and how lame it was at first. (I have no idea if it’s gotten any better; I’ve been avoiding it, quite frankly.) This naturally opes the door for other apps, and if what I’ve read is true, Garmin is [...]
