I don’t consider myself a newshound, but I do like to be in the know.  I keep an eye on Wiki trends, Twitter trends and get weather and breaking news updates by SMS.   
Anytime a story about the iPhone or BlackBerry comes out, I want to know.  Plus, there are artists, authors, and actors I’m [...]

 
I once read that in the lobby of Google’s Corporate Headquarters (the so-called Googleplex) are a series of projector screens that show real time aggregated data on active Google searches around the world.  That struck me as an interesting concept, one I thought- for the briefest of moments- would be kind of cool to see in person.
Although the [...]

Some people are into sports. Really into sports. They’re the go-to-a-game-in-the-middle-of-winter-wearing-only-jeans-and-blue-body-paint kind of people.  I know you’ve seen them; the TV camera always seems to pick them out of the crowd and chances are good that you’ve been seated near a few at least once in your lifetime.  They’re the same people who can effortlessly spout stats [...]

Last week I reviewed the overpriced Byline, an RSS reader that requires a Google Reader account. I like things simple so I decided to give Simon Oualid’s app a try. It seemed to work great at first, but after adding a couple of Yahoo! Sports feeds, the thing just froze up. Or at least that’s the way [...]

Byline is an RSS reader built specifically for syncing your iPhone with your Google Reader account. If you’re a loyal Google Reader user then you’ll probably love Byline because it pulls everything onto your iPhone so that you can access your content even when there’s no network connection available, like on an underground subway train. [...]

Got this from Gorloch Interactive, developer of Campaign which I reviewed about a month ago:
- We’ve expanded the Candidates section to include Public Statements and Issues. The statements are updated several times throughout the week (almost daily) and pull data from Vote-Smart.org. The candidate blog now pulls all the candidate blog data within the application [...]

First things first: if you’re an American adult and you’re not registered to vote, get on it! The deadline for voter registration varies by state, and a lot of states close registration in the first week of October. Here’s a list of state-by-state voter registration deadlines. You [...]

I hate walking into the office restroom holding a newspaper or magazine because anyone who spots me automatically knows that (a) I’m about to take a huge dump, and (b) I’m a total slacker who prefers to entertain myself on the can rather than work.
Well you know what? Screw them! I do it anyway. Well… I used to. Now that I [...]

I have the attention span of a five-year-old and I’m not ashamed to admit it. When I “read” the newspaper I’m not reading the articles… I’m reading the captions under all the nice pictures. This is why I like Jamd – it’s all about photos and the accompanying story capsules that are occasionally weird and are written [...]

Fox News Digital wants ME to report the news! If they knew what a jackass I am they’d probably rethink that proposal.
This app is super simple. Its sole purpose is to let you “take or select pictures of news happening around you and send them directly to FOX News Channel from your iPhone.” If the [...]
