Zuma’s Revenge for the Windows Phone is an Xbox title, and is exclusive to the Nokia phones. As such, unless you have a Nokia phone you aren’t going to find it in the Marketplace, nor will you find it on the web-based App+Games Store. Now, line-exclusive things don’t tend to stay that way, so I’m … Read more
Probably most people have seen this, but many of the writers at MD have kids, and we can’t think of anything more awesome that waking up in the hospital and seeing Superman or Batman washing the windows. So have a smile on us.
A Roomba. For your touch device. Introducing the AutoMee S. Just when you think you’ve seen it all. I wear glasses, so I think I’ll stick with my microfiber cloth that I carry around anyway. But hey, if you’ve got $20 to spare and really, really, like silly gadgets, I suppose it doesn’t get much … Read more
Back in January, I told you about Amazon’s new AutoRip service: buy a music CD, and get it loaded free onto your Cloud Player account (US only). Well, my husband got an email a few days ago saying that he had 15 CDs loaded onto his Cloud Player. Cool. Last year, we ditched the satellite … Read more
Do you have an upgrade on AT&T but haven’t taken the plunge yet? This might just be your lucky day. NOW! cartoys.com has a penny deal on the Nokia Lumia 920, new OR current customers (which almost never happens)! If you have been on the fence about an upgrade, this could be the deal you … Read more
Ramon’s big Missing App for Windows Phone is Instagram. Personally, having never used it at all, I don’t see the attraction; but then, I said the same thing about Pinterest until I created an account. (Although, I haven’t used it in a while. Call it my short atten…SQUIRREL!) Well, WindowsPhoneDaily.com is saying that CrackBerry.com has … Read more
You know it’s bad when NPR takes pot shots at you. (To be fair, the article also points out that Microsoft did the same thing 2 years ago, but that title just made me giggle.)
So Microsoft has announced Office 365 for 2013. Note that they ARE NOT getting rid off Office 2013 – more on that in a bit. Office 365 comes in three flavors: Home Premium, Small Business Premium, and University (or Academic). I’m going to skip over Small Business Premium, because it has tiers within it, and … Read more
I was going to pick up my son from his after-school program today and I was listening to NPR on my radio. I heard a story about the Bear County, Texas, library system. They were implementing e-readers in a big way, and the brief story was about this transition. I can’t link the story until … Read more
I’ve said this before: in business, if Company A is wildly successful, Companies B, C, and D will copy what A is doing. Do your kids like Skylanders, Activision’s multi-platform figure video game? Look out, here comes Disney Infinity. Just like Skylanders, Disney Infinity will consist of a docking station and collectible figurines, representing various … Read more
If you have purchased a music CD from Amazon in the last 15 years (and you live in the US, sorry), you may be getting an email soon saying you have access to a digital version thanks to their new AutoRip service. The music will be in MP3 format at 256 Kbps, and currently is … Read more
There … are no words for this. Just click the link and watch the video. (BBC doesn’t allow for embedding.) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20957844 As a parent, I’m of two minds: 1/10 says, you sit the kid on the potty and at least they’ve got something to do until they go. Over time, presumably, they’ll get used to … Read more
