As we previously speculated, others who don't already have a subscription will have to pay $3 a month, which isn't so bad considering the original subscription is around 20 bucks. [Yahoo]

The original $50 Bento software—named after Japanese-styled lunchboxes that have designated spaces for different items—is intended for use at home for everyone from soccer moms to gadgetheads, whereas its older brother, FileMaker Pro, is used mainly in offices by larger companies. The Bento application, like both databases, helps you keep tabs on all your stuff—including your address book, calendars, events, projects, logs and lists—all organized in one application.

Supposedly, what makes Bento so simple to use is that it automatically syncs your address book, mail, iCalendar and other data directly from your computer to your phone. For those who own the $50 Bento software, it's supposed to be easier for you to input data into your phone without having to type everything out on the touch-QWERTY-keyboard on your phone. For example, if you would like to store a specific recipe on your phone, you could simply just copy and paste it into Bento on your computer, drag and drop an accompanying photo into the entry, and then sync it to your phone. Moreover, because FileMaker, Inc. is a subsidiary of Apple, the Bento application is apparently intuitive to those who are familiar with Mac layouts and style, with iTunes-esque formatting and similar search bar. Unfortunately for PC users, using the Bento software coupled with the application is only available for Mac users for $4.99. [Bento in App Store]

Later this week, you'll be able to get a Stanford-level education without the stress of having to apply to the prestigious school and especially without having to pay tuition being a huge dbag. [Ed. note: Ed went to Cal.] [TechCrunch]

I needed something that would successfully wake me up and it failed in that respect. Also, the calendar failed in it's most interesting feature—it didn't show me the holidays. You can't really go wrong with showing a time, so its other features needed to make up for it.

Settings
If you double-tap the screen twice, it'll take you to the appearance settings where you can pick out the color display and set the brightness. Figuring out where the other settings wasn't so easy. For that, you'll actually have to go into Settings on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Here, you can change your display, clock behavior and calendar behavior.

Time
The time display is simple: choose your time separators, format, and whether you want to display it in 24-hour or 12-hour time. Back in the application, all you have to do is tap the time once to switch between 24-hour or 12-hour time (since I'm constantly switching back and forth between military time, I found this feature useful). When the iPhone is a horizontal orientation, the clock will switch to a larger display making it easier to read.

Calendar
In calendar settings, you can choose if your week starts on Monday. You can also choose whether you want to see holidays on a U.S. or a Japanese calendar. You can also have the calendar display up to 7 months (you use your finger to swipe across to change the months). Unfortunately, there's no way to make the calendar display larger. A quick look-through to find out what day St. Patty's day was on this year also proved fruitless.

Alarm
There's a clock icon in the upper right-hand corner of the app. Here you can click to turn on the alarm and set the time. The makers claimed that it might not work if the screen went dim or auto-locked (fortunately, there's an option to disable auto-locking in Settings—I turned this feature on). I tried using the alarm while it sat charging on my desk, and right beside me undocked. The results? Each morning, I rolled into work and told my boss, "I'm so sorry about this morning..."

Verdict
Go buy yourself a double cheeseburger with that dollar.

The Perfect Girl app spews out one-liners that some of you may never ever, ever hear from any self-respecting woman ("You are so right") for only $1. Honestly, even as a member of the fairer sex, I thought the app was completely worth the laughs... until I started hearing things I remember uttering in the past. Now can you guess which ones?

I'm the perfect girl.*
I called in sick for you. Have fun at the game!
I love ninjas.
Wear whatever you want.
I'll try anything once.*
Have fun drinking with your friends!*
Here, you can have my food.
You are so right.
Sleep in as late as you want, I'll have breakfast ready.
I cleaned the game room.*
Did you want me to wait outside?
I hooked up the surround sound!*
See you in the morning!*
I bought you a new speed boat.
I bought you some spray paint.
Do you think she's flirting with us?
I really love watching you play video games.
Happy birthday. I got you a monkey!
Just get drunk there, I'll come pick you up.

*If you guessed these, you were correct. See? I really am perfect.

Just like MyHeritage—a celebrity facial recognition Web site—FaceDouble is a free iPhone application that will be able to determine which celebrities you look like simply by analyzing a photo you have saved on your phone. I personally like to think I look like Angelina Jolie, but I'm sure FaceDouble will tell me I'm more of a mixture between Mulan and Dora the Explorer. (Oh wait, I was wrong; apparently, I'm Ashley Tisdale). Hmm... [FaceDouble via GeekSugar]

If you have ordered pizza for many people, you would love this:

• Input the ingredients for person 1 from a list of over 25 toppings.
• Add another person and repeat until you are done.
• Click on calculate.
• Select how much pizza each person wants to eat (just to keep things on the safe side—specially with Gizmodo readers in Gizmodo Gallery parties—add two extra slices per person).

Done. The Pizza Calculator will optimize the ingredients and pizza combinations and give you an ordering list so everyone is satisfied and there are no leftovers (although cold leftovers with Coke the next morning make for a Breakfast of Champions). [The Pizza Calculator]

After being voluntarily retired from the iTunes App Store, following a call by THQ Wireless, the most useless yet completely obligatory iPhone app—PhoneSaber—is returning to the store as LightSaber Unleashed. The lightsaber simulator will tie in with the new LucasArts's game, including completely new graphics, "dueling music," and characters from the game:

THQ Wireless has the license for all things Star Wars and mobile, which is why the application was pulled in the first place. But don't worry about this becoming a pay application: It will still be free, making it even better than the equally useless Spore for iPhone. As Duncan Stevenson from The Mac Box told me:

Basically you can expect a much more exciting gameplay. The dueling music is something that were really happy we managed to include - it was a much requested feature and makes it really exciting to play!

Hold on... is Duncan actually referring to "exciting to pretend to fight with lightsabers" when he says "exciting to play"? [The Mac Box]

The app works, I'd guess by sending the closely matching accelerometer data back to the Tapulous server, where they're matched in the cloud and info is swapped. There is no actual device-to-device connection—but that is still ridiculously cool. Tapulous is also planning to release Tap Tap Revenge and Twinkle as free downloads at launch.

There's no further info or pricing specs, but the fact that Apple's SDK limitations prohibit applications from running in the background isn't brought up anywhere in Fonix's release. Even the recent announcement at WWDC of a helper app that third-party apps can hook into for network notifications isn't quite the same as keeping a voice-dialing application running in the background. We'll see how they manage to pull the app off with these limitations. [Fonix via TUAW]

Installation is pretty simple and allows for TiVoRemote to be installed via Installer.app, once a new source is added. After launching the program and entering the settings menu, all that's required is the TiVo's IP address. Once entered, your iPhone / iPod is ready to control your Series 3 or HD TiVo. As you can see from the video above and picture below, the key layout is pretty basic. But I am sure it's only a matter of time till it gets spruced up, allowing the TiVo guy to be on the iPhone / iPod. From complete instructions hit the TiVoRemote link for the Google Code page.
