Although some game vendors have been slow to adapt to mobile/web-based gaming, Electronic Arts - known commonly as simply EA - has been extremely busy in its quest to stay relevant in a market as fiercely-contested as it has ever been.
For those among us who are Mac OS X users, you will no doubt be familiar with the Growl notification service.

Different users appreciate the simplicity of Growl for a number of reasons, with one of the main ones being that it works right out of the box and doesn't have any complicated setup procedures. Applications that are Growl compatible will simply just work with the system without any fuss.
The Samsung’s Galaxy S III rumor mill has been gathering plenty of momentum lately, and it's not hard to see why. The hotly-anticipated device is set to feature a 1080p full HD, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, and if the projected release frames ring true, will go head-to head with the iPhone 5.
At this present moment, the tablet market is a two-horse race consisting of Android tablets, and Apple's iPad range. The third iteration is set to begin retailing tomorrow morning at 8am, with many fanatic consumers expected to be queuing through the night tonight ready for doors to open.
In the last few days, most of the smartphone attention has firmly fixed upon the manufacturers of Android devices as number of them begin to announce, and roll out updates to Android Ice Cream Sandwich for a select number of their devices. Over the last two days we have seen welcome update announcements from Samsung as well as HTC, informing their users that certain smartphones will begin to see over-the-air updates in the coming weeks, eventually bringing Android 4.0 to a wider audience.
If you are the type of person who listens to the age old 'size does matter' saying, then chances are that you spend most of your life walking around feeling inferior to those around you. General society has this belief that bigger is always better, in every situation, all of the time which in most circumstances I would strongly disagree with. However, if you are to believe the research carried out by Strategy Analytics then it would appear that bigger is indeed better when it comes to mobile devices.
It has been quite some time since George Hotz has been in the public limelight, generally appearing to keep himself to himself over the last few months after he reportedly left his employment with social media giants Facebook. Living in the wilderness and out of the public eye is a lifestyle which doesn't really seem to suit the legendary hacker, considering we have seen him at his best and most entertaining when he was releasing his rap record retort to Sony Computer Entertainment of America or pipping the Chronic Dev-Team to the post a day before they were set to launch their Greenpois0n jailbreak for iOS.
If you've been seeking an alternative to Mail.app -- the default iOS mail client -- then look no further; the popular Mac email client Sparrow has hit the App Store, and is now available on the iPhone and iPod touch. What's interesting is how people often haven't really gone out of their way to find an alternative for Mail.app; it's strange in some ways that a default, bundled app is the most commonly used email app on iOS considering the vast third-party marketplace. Perhaps Sparrow might just be the app to put a dent into its use.
It's a natural trait within humanity that some people take better to change than others. As trivial as it may seem in the grand scheme of life's priorities, not everybody testing out Microsoft's Windows 8 Consumer Preview has managed to get past the lack of a Start button / Orb.
I wouldn't like to think how many presses, taps and clicks the 'track shipment' option on Apple's website and official app have notched up in the last few days from users who are desperate to find out where their new iPad is. The fact that Apple decided to allow customers to put through pre-orders for this new product launch means that email inboxes lit up all over the world at the beginning of the week with order progress updates advising that the order has been shipped by the company. Unfortunately for excited consumers, it seems that Apple had advised the delivery companies to hold onto the shipments and try their very hardest to make sure they were delivered on the official launch date this Friday.
