iTunes Store Down for Some?

I've been having issues surfing through the iTunes App Store this morning. On certain apps I would sometimes get the error below: At first I thought it would be just me, but I asked about 10 different people via AIM, and 8 said they were having issues updating their apps via iTunes and surfing through certain apps. Some work, some don't. The issues don't seem to be widespread, so if you're perfectly fine not getting any errors, don't be surprised. Some have reported zero issues, but th...

TeamViewer now on the iPhone

I'm a fan of TeamViewer for the Mac and PC. Sometimes it gets to be very buggy, but most of the time it works. Today, while finally looking around in the app store for some apps(which I haven't done in almost two months), I found TeamViewer as one of the top productivity apps for the iPhone. I was shocked to see the fact that TeamViewer was finally on the iPhone, but not many people reported about it. I tried the free version(The pro version is $99.99) and it works alright. if you've ever used a...

MLB.com At Bat 2010: Worth the $15?

if you follow baseball and have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you're probably familiar with MLB's MLB.com At bat iPhone application, which gives you an all in one application regarding everything dealing with baseball. I bought the 2009 version and I was definitely impressed, but a negative to this was the fact that it was $9.99, AND you had to pay for the next year as well. So this year, I was gonna buy it for $9.99, but I found that the price went up from $9.99 to $14.99. Which left me thinking - i...

Twitter reaches 10 Billion Tweets

Today, Twitter has reached a remarkably historical number: 10 Billion tweets. It's remarkable how Twitter hit 5 billion tweets just last October, and now reached 10 Billion tweets. Twitter has grown so much the last 2 years, it's hard to even imagine the fact that 10 BILLION tweets were made. I guess this proves to all the Twitter haters: Twitter isn't a dead network, and has lots of potential. Now, this figure may not be all that special to the everyday twitter user, but this will be a great ar...

Icy Escort [iPhone App]

Icy Escort is a fun game made by Donut Games, the same makers from the game Traffic Rush for the iPhone. The game is free for a limited time, so don't miss out! The game provides a lot of different features, such as 30 different and action packed levels, easy super-responsive controls, powerups to make things more fun, and fun stats to track how well you've been playing. Definitely a fun game you should check out! Though, I have found that the game tends to be laggy at times on an iPhone 3...

Ghost to Shut Down their Free Service on March 15th

For those of you who are familiar with Ghost, it is a cloud computing OS that allows you to access all your files from a location from anywhere, as long as it has a web browser. It is an actual OS, not like DropBox which is just a storage service. Ghost was alright, I remember using it about 2 years ago, but haven't touched it since. About 5 minutes ago however, I received an urgent email from their newsletter announcing that they would be shutting down their FREE service of Ghost on March 15...

Lockerz: A Legit Website?

For those of you who don't know, Lockerz is a website in which the objective is to try to get as many points as possible, and then at the end of each month there is a redemption period in which you can redeem anything you want, as long as you have the points for that item. Currently, the only way you can get into Lockerz is if someone with an account invites you. The site is currently in its beta stages, and once the site leaves beta anyone can join. Throughout the last few months there has been...

MyCast Weather: Advanced Weather On your iPhone

I love tracking the weather. I'm also a huge fan of severe weather, so I always look at the radar for future forecasts. Up until a few days ago, I used Weather Channel Max to keep track of my weather on my iPhone. The UI is great, but sometimes it lacks some features. Yesterday, I found a neat iPhone weather app called MyCast Weather. This app has everything, including Radars, temperatures, forecasts, shake to update data, and much more. This app is an all in one weather app, and definitely a mu...

Digg Digg Brings All Social Media Buttons Into One Plugin

Most blogs these days have Social media buttons which allow you to retweet the post via TweetMeme or Topsy. Blogs also add Facebook and Digg buttons for users to post via Facebook or Digg the post. This makes retweeting/posting easy for the user, but sometimes it gets aggravating for the blog owner. They need to install 4 or 5 different plugins, each for the different social networks they want to support, and sometimes the buttons don't look very well together. They also can overlap each other, ...
