Business cards: can’t stand them. Can. Not. Stand. Them. If you want me to be able to get ahold of you, just give me your fax number, okay? Teletype works, too. In a pinch, I’ll hit you on your beeper—if I leave “911” after my callback number, call back quickly! It’s an emergency.
Let’s get totally serious, though. If I’m given a …
The New Yorker‘s iPad app is one of the nicest tablet versions of any print magazine: published every Monday at the same time as its paper-and-staples equivalent, it features additional pieces of writing, photography and video, poets reading their poems aloud, and bonus cartoons, among its electronic bells and whistles. (It even includes …
Cool kids take note. Photo and video sharing service Photobucket is making a move into trendier territory with the release of their new Snapbucket app, available for download on Androids as of today (the iPhone version will be available soon).

Someone didn’t tell the folks at Bloom Studio that music players are supposed to be boring, because Planetary for iPad is something entirely different.

After a long, cold, dark, snowy, jerky winter, we’ve officially hit some nice weather. And not the fake nice weather where it’s nice for half the day and then it rains and then the next day it snows—fool me once, shame on you; fool me pretty much all of April, shame on me for breaking out my short-shorts and donating all my warm …
Smart move, Microsoft. Smart. Move.
In an effort to bolster app development for its new Windows Phone 7 platform, Microsoft has given app makers a new tool that eases the burden of programming their existing iPhone apps for Microsoft’s phones.
It’s not as simple as dropping in an iPhone app and watching a Windows Phone-friendly …
Those affected by the recent storms in the South may want to check out the Global Alert Networks hands-free mobile alerts app. Available for Android and BlackBerry phones, the app runs in the background and uses your phone’s GPS chip to determine if you’re within range of severe weather. If so, it’ll send you an audio message that gets …
At a VentureBeat Mobile Summit last night, Square COO Keith Rabois declared “the website as you know it” to be “dead.”
His justification? The “rise of mobile,” and how users are more likely to gravitate towards a smartphone’s apps as opposed to a site’s mobile version. Simply put, a website is “not going to feel as good as a …
We’ve all been there. Does this sound familiar to you?
You’re at work and you realize you forgot to mow your lawn. You rush home in a panic. You miss several important meetings—or meetings that your company considers important, yet you’ve calculated how much it’d cost to build a lifelike dummy of yourself that lives in the …
If there’s one thing that iPad users don’t lack, it’s a way of staying on top of what’s going on. Apps like Flipboard, Zite and Decks, or services like Summify or PostPost, give users the chance to sit back and let the internet sort through the noise to find specific signals based on criteria they’ve selected to such success that it’s no …
Samsung will put apps on anything these days, from phones to tablets to TVs. And for a mere $3,500, Samsung will soon put apps on your refrigerator, too.
The RF4289 is a four-door fridge with an 8-inch touch screen, but it’s not just for boring stuff like climate control. Using a built-in Wi-Fi connection, the RF4289 can pull up …
