No, MyMac has not become an Android site (unless Tim follows through on his threat to switch if Apple drops the headphone jack in the next iPhone), but while surfing around I found an article talking about a company called Jide. Never heard of them?

Laptops have become most people’s only computer, providing desktop like power with portability.

For me, iOS games can be broken into two categories: games for deep-diving into, and games for playing for 20 minutes here and there. Air Attack 2, by Art In Games, falls into the latter category, and that’s not a knock on it by any means. It’s a beautifully rendered game with fluid gameplay that’s perfect for jumping in and out of quickly.

Remember when there was pretty much one size for a tablet computer? When Apple came out with the original iPad it was 9.7-inches and the follow up Android tablets were much the same when they were released. Then in a desperate attempt to distinguish themselves from all the other Android tablets (and the iPad), the other companies started making them in different sizes.

Putting the Lifeproof FRÄ’ case on your iPhone is pretty easy. You merely clean your screen with the included microfiber cloth, place your iPhone face down into the front half of the case, and snap on the rear section of the case. Just make sure you work your way all the way around the perimeter of the case to make sure the two halves are seated together properly. Instructions are provided, but I don’t think most people would need them.

The first thing that I noticed about the Nyne Mini is the quality of its packaging. Unboxing it is a very Apple-like experience, with the way the lid pulls off very slowly as if it’s held in place by a vacuum. It struck me that a company that cares that much about its products’ packaging is very likely paying attention to detail in all aspects of their product lines.

It’s a one-trick pony, but what a pony!

My real world job involves a fair amount of driving that often requires my iPhone acting as a Sat Nav or GPS. Whilst you can hear instructions, it’s always handy to safely look at what’s coming up by glancing at the Sat Nav Map. When the Montar Universal Car Mount came up for review I was keen to give it a test and set it up in my car as my daily companion.

I listen to podcasts when Im working out at the gym. I have a pair of earphones that I really like; however, the cord is always getting in the way. Wireless Bluetooth solutions Ive tried usually fell out after a few minutes or were uncomfortable. I was offered the opportunity to test the iHome Fit Wireless Bluetooth Earphones, and Im so glad I did. These are now my go-to earphones.

Its an impressive alternative to Apple’s own Aperture, which is no longer being developed and – although the Digital Asset Management system of choice for many – is not guaranteed to work on unspecified future operating systems. Version 9 of Capture One Pro was released this month. Its every bit as good as its predecessor and remains the preferred alternative to Aperture over Adobe’s Lightroom.

To Sit or not to sit… To Stand or not to stand… That is the question. It has been a normal daily routine going back to before typewriters and through the computer age for one to sit at a desk to work or to relax and read email or surf the web. In the past few years, the logic of sitting down at a desk has come into review as to the impact upon the users body and what happens if one sits down all the time. University studies had shown that extended sitting was having a negative impact upon the human body with a possible increase in coronary heart disease and other health problems from a lack of movement. Yet there was also the possibility of negative impact from extended standing.
