It seems that tweeting is the new form of texting these days, and if you aren't a part of the Twitter using clan, then I would highly recommend you register yourself and see what all the fuss is about. The popularity of Twitter is increasingly obvious due to the massive array of third-party apps and clients popping up everyday for different desktop and mobile platforms. One of the latest to find it's way into the mobile world is the Voice Tweet app that does pretty much as the name suggests.
Have you ever felt that today’s games are far too complex? That they require far too many buttons and have overly realistic graphics? Do you remember the good ol’ days of the 1970s and early 80s when controllers had, at max, 4-6 buttons and “graphics” meant environments and moving characters whose pixels you could count with your hands? If the answer to all that is yes, then you’ll be glad to know that Atari’s Greatest Hits for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is available for free (again) for a limited period of time. Check it out after the jump.
Movie remakes are, in the eyes of the die-hard film buffs, often a recipe for disaster. Most of the classics have come back for a second innings, and the likes of The Karate Kid, The A Team, and Nightmare On Elm Street all have one thing in common - they were nowhere near as good as the originals.
The US Open is one of the oldest international tennis championships today, having been contested since 1881.

You can tell a lot about a person by just looking at their wallpaper. Are they using the same wallpaper that came with their device? From that, you can tell hey probably aren’t very tech savvy. Do they use a photo of Emma Watson as their wallpaper? They have a celebrity crush on her, guaranteed. Does the wallpaper significantly decrease text readability? Well, they could use a few tips on design. Does their wallpaper collection include photos of sweeping vistas? You’ve got a travelling fan right there. This is just how I sometimes read people.
Considering Facebook is the largest social network in the world with over 900 million registered members, you could be forgiven for thinking they would place significant emphasis on, and pump huge resources into ensuring the mobile experience of their users was second to none. Unfortunately, any Facebook user who has accessed their account through the iPhone or iPad app will know that the experience is less than satisfactory, something that we know occurs due to the app being built for rollout across multiple platforms.
As powerful as Apple's iOS is, some users will always disagree with the way certain things are implemented throughout the system, meaning there will always be a place for jailbreaking in the iDevice ownership world. One of the much discussed areas of concern in iOS is the way in which users can see what is running in the background and invoke apps from the multitasking part of the OS, something that Apple added as one of the major new features of iOS 4.
If you happen to be the owner of a touch-screen tablet like the iPad or something similar, and also a big fan of Microsoft's Office suite of programs, then you probably live under an umbrella of disappointment and are aware of the fact that the Redmond software giants don't offer any native Office apps for the iPad. There's been talk of the iPad App Store receiving some official apps from Microsoft, but up until now nothing has come to fruition, leaving some users extremely disappointed and having to look for alternative solutions to satisfy their need to create and edit documents on the go.
I used to be a big fan of professional wrestling back in the day. I used to spare fours hours a week, every week (no matter if I was having final exams) for SmackDown and RAW. That was until I realized how stupid the idea of men fighting each other in front of a large audience was. Why not fight elsewhere? Why create a fuss in front of the public? I still kept watching, though, because it was so gosh darn fun to see two muscly men beat the living life out of each other.
