A new app for Android smartphones is designed to add a little flair and control to a fundamental part of the operating system: multitasking. Called Taskbar Switcher, this free app is available for download now from the Android Market / Google Play Store, or whatever Google is calling it today!

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Believe it or not, and we still choose not to, but one young man has taken a more, helpless iPad and had at it with a couple of guns. The result? Utter devastation and, unsurprisingly, a devastated iPad.
Samsung's Galaxy S III is becoming something of a mystery, and the longer time goes on without the smartphone being officially announced by Samsung, the larger the risk that something new and shiny will come along and steal its thunder.
Apple today announced that its $100 billion pile of money is to be used, not for buying Twitter, Facebook or even Google, but to initiate a stock buy back and to offer dividends to existing share owners.
Samsung may be keeping the Samsung Galaxy S III under its hat for the time being, but that hasn't stopped supposed press images leaking left right and indeed, center.
Now that the new iPad is finding its way into the hands of those who were either willing to stand outside their local Apple Store or to hit refresh on the online equivalent, everyone is asking the same question: just how much better than the iPad 2 is this new, third generation version?
If you've been hankering after some new iPad benchmarks, then today is your lucky day after one of the tablets found its way into the hands of someone who just had to do the right thing - run some benchmarks on it.
Some iPhone apps create little niches that we didn't even know existed. Others take a manual task and replace it with a nice, shiny digital alternative. Some even manage to do both at once, and Pocket Doorbell is one such app.
One of the many new things to come out of Apple's recent iPad 3 event was the release of an iOS version of iPhoto. Rumored to be on the horizon for what feels like forever, iPhoto on an iPad, especially one with a Retina Display, just makes so much sense that it hurts.
Social networks are great tools for a great number of things. Many of us use them to keep in touch with friends and family, especially those on the other side of the world. Others use it as a tool to promote a business, or perhaps a personal brand. Other just use it to keep up on all the gossip!
