Lory Gil ∙ Updated November 19, 2018

The weekend is finally here. I’m heading out to the Tahoe Mountains again for a weekend of campfires, beers, and relaxation. I know I’ll be using my favorite stargazing apps to scan the night sky, but I’ll probably be sans-technology otherwise.

If you are not lucky enough to be experiencing nature this weekend, you’ll probably need some new apps to keep you busy. Whether you are trying to fine-tune your music, read your favorite blogs, or loot some dungeons, we have a list of apps and games that have made the grade this week…

Fans of Robot Unicorn Attack 2 and Monsters Ate my Condo will be happy to know that the games’ creators are back with a destructive new game that is as bizarre as their other titles.

Cody Lee ∙ September 13, 2013

Good news on the jailbreak front this evening, as pod2g has just tweeted out that he is becoming "more and more confident about an iOS 7 public jailbreak." He's careful to note, however, that this doesn't mean one is coming soon.

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 13, 2018

With the iPhone 5c pre-order launch now well underway, the focus of the media turns to that of the iPhone 5s. Of course, we'll have to wait another week for that, since Apple has opted not to allow advanced purchasing of the handset.

Unless you live in China. While most of the world will have to wait in line to purchase an iPhone 5s on launch day, it appears that folks in the country can take advantage of an advance reservations system beginning September 17...

Lory Gil ∙ Updated March 15, 2018

You know what game I miss? Street Fighter IV. Well, I don’t really miss it because I can play it any time I want to on my iPhone. What I mean is, I miss the feeling of it being new. It was such an awesome fighting game.
