I want to start out by saying I was lied to. It’s not really all that big of a deal because I’m a forgiving person and tend to get over things rather quickly, as long as it’s not some terrible douche-baggery (for more info see Here.) But for Microsoft to have missed such a major … Read more
Click 4 The Cure is an app that lets you click through ad pages and as you click the ad profit goes to the Susan G Komen for the Cure project. Of course, it’s a free app and all you need to do is click through to participate. Always nice to write about an app … Read more
ViewMyNotes just hit Marketplace. “ViewMyNotes allows you to view your Evernote notebooks and notes right from your Windows Phone 7! “. I know lots of people want an Evernote app and this is a good start. It’s $.99 and has a trial mode.
I’ll let the description of Queef Fraîche speak for itself: Are you bored with all of the cookie cutter fart apps on the Marketplace? Are you ready for something fraîche? Then look no further! Queef Fraîche will make you laugh and might even make you cry by simulating that most elusive of all farts; the … Read more

Take a look at the picture as it describes what various models can do, but generally … Read more
Here’s a neat little ebook reader called GoReader. “GoReader allows you to search and read your favourite books from thousands of free books, which are available at www.books.google.com".” Pretty cool. It’s $.99 but has a trial mode.
A new app is appearing in Marketplace called DioDict with Collins Dictionary. It’s from Samsung so it’s likely a Samsung exclusive (so you need one of their phones) but it’s not appearing in the Samsung Zone (it’s in the free apps) so I’m not sure where it falls yet.

A reportedly white hat hacker slash developer claiming to have cracked WP7’s Marketplace’s DRM sent a proof-of-concept application dubbed FreeMarketplace to WPCentral demonstrating the “push of a button” exploitation of some undisclosed vulnerability connected to anti-piracy mechanisms behind the Windows Phone 7 software distribution system, the Marketplace, that was convincing enough to WPCentral for them … Read more
Just in case they take a little longer than mid 2011 to deploy LTE with a magically firm backhaul supporting it and at least one phone with a compatible radio to make their customers happy in the event of Verizon failing to absorb enough iPhone defectors, AT&T, which among other superlative things calls themselves the … Read more
ComputerWorld has digested a McAfee report titled 2011 Threat Predications Report. Now, I’ll presume that a company that’s in the anti-virus industry always predicts lots of threats…then they sell something to stop them. But it’s still an interesting thesis.

Fly your favorite plane in the single player … Read more
