If you are an iPhone or iPod touch owner who regularly takes decent looking photographs then the time has come to shed the shackles of mediocrity and accelerate your image capturing abilities to the next level.
If you ask a random individual to mention a cloud storage provider then I imagine an everyday person would only be able to pluck a handful of names out of their minds, with Dropbox probably being the most popular. Regardless of whether you love or hate the Dropbox service, it is by far one of the easiest to get up and running with and integrates extremely well with desktop and mobile operating systems.
Considering Facebook is the largest social network in the world with over 900 million registered members and Apple's iOS being one of the most popular mobile operating systems available, it stands to reason that a seriously large percentage of Facebook's mobile users will be visiting the site from the iOS Facebook app. Unfortunately for those users, the app itself offered a pretty terrible experience until recently when the Palo Alto-based company called the experts in to produce a native iOS experience, a move that brought notable speed and stability improvements and a number of small user-interface tweaks.
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.
Have you ever wanted to mix two images together? Maybe it’s for double exposure photography or for just pulling off a face swap (interchanging the faces of two or more people in one photo), that’s up to you. Well, you know what this segues into: there’s an app for that. 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. It is the fourth and final grand slam tournament of the year - after Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon. The 2012 version of the tournament started three days ago on August 27th and will continue till September 9th when the men’s finals will take place.
When it comes to music discovery, services like Last.fm and Pandora was often the first that come to mind. They are very popular in countries like the U.S., Canada or Europe, but suffer outside them because of the strict licensing rules that they have to follow. Users from outside these countries have to resort to methods like using proxies or VPNs to access and enjoy them.
The wild success of the iPhone isn't any secret anymore. The sales figures speak for themselves, the unprecedented interest level in the next iPhone paints its own picture, and the fact that iPhone sales generate more cash than all of Microsoft's products and services put together proves just how big of a smash hit Apple has on their hands with their iOS-powered smartphone. It isn't just one thing that captures the imagination of users when it comes to the iPhone, the whole package manages to pull the punters in and that doesn't seem to end any time soon.
The developers of the Dash package obviously have their own opinion about how Apple has chosen to implement multitasking within iOS. The introduction of iOS 4 brought with it the ability to send apps in the background that allows users to quickly invoke them from memory if the need arises, therefore offering a nice new multitasking-type feature to all iOS users.
