One of my favorite scenes from the Kevin Costner/Rene Russo movie “Tin Cup”–not a particularly good movie, I admit, but it has its moments–is when Tin Cup has gotten himself a bad case of the shanks, and is desperately using every golf gadget known to man in an attempt to cure himself of it. And [...]
Might & Magic Clash of Heroes for iPad Review
I remember when Might & Magic Clash of Heroes for the Nintendo DS arrived. It was an oddity of a game in that I was immediately prepared to hate – a new game for a new platform by a new developer in a totally unrelated genre with a familiar name; I was like most fans of [...]
Ultima Forever Quest for the Avatar Gets a First Video Preview
There are classics, and then there are CLASSICS … and Ultima IV is one of the absolute classics in all of gaming. I have played it several times through the years, but owing to age and technology changes it is a difficult game for younger gamers to really enjoy. Now it is coming back as [...]
Picashare Picasa Sync iOS App Review
I hate synching my devices to computers. It’s much simpler to use iCloud and Photostream than it is to fire up the beast that is iTunes these days. In an all-iOS environment, this works great. But if I have a number of photos that need to be edited in Picasa, it’s a pain to download [...]
Questia Research Library Mobile Access iOS App Re-released
One of the greatest boons to education is, in my opinion, the Internet and the Web. Information that was once hard (or even impossible) to find is now easily accessible. The ability to access almost any information from hundreds or even thousands of miles away is an incalculable aid to learning. Instead of having to [...]
GoodReader Releases SDK for 3rd-party iPhone and iPad App Developers
If you’re not in high-tech and are reading this web site from the point of view of a typical consumer, here’s a bit of jargon for you: Software development kit, or SDK. An SDK is a package of software that companies offer (sometimes for a fee, sometimes not) to encourage other companies and individual programmers [...]
Shot Note Pad and App Helps Save Your Notes and Memories
If you take notes with a pen and paper and incorporate those notes into your digital life, the Shot Note Pad and iOS app may be just the thing. Each Shot Note Pad looks like a standard writing tablet, but when used in conjunction with the free app the pads make it easy to capture your notes, [...]
Super Stickman Golf 2 – Gear Diary’s Sneak Preview
What does Super Stickman Golf 2 and The Godfather: Part II have in common? If you guessed that they’re both sequels, well yes, that’s true, but there’s something even better! They are both sequels that are greater than their predecessors. Is it a little too early to call, since SSG2 is only in beta testing? [...]

Activating and Using Parental Controls in iOS
It never ceases to amaze me how easily small children can grasp how to use an iPhone or iPad. This past weekend I watched my 18 month old nephew play with an iPhone, and he already knew how to flip through pictures (and stop and admire the ones of himself, of course.) But all this [...]
How to Maximize iOS Notes App
I have a confession to make. Despite an Evernote account, and a Catch.com account, being a dedicated Todo and Pocket Informant user … I use Apple’s Notes App more than almost any other piece of software on my devices. Sometimes, when you’re taking notes, you don’t want lots of bells and whistles, you just want [...]
