Play a Mario Kart Ripoff, Scan Your Business Cards, and Defend Your Miners

There are games we really want on the iPhone but we know we’ll probably never get. Actually anything Nintendo makes would be great as an iPhone app. But there is one app in particular that would really make me happy: Mario Kart. Lucky for me, there’s a complete ripoff of the game in the App…

Raid a Dungeon, Finger Tap the Drums, and Hadoken!

How many versions are there of Street Fighter? I think the last count was 250. I might be wrong. But it’s pretty close to that. Eventually, all games will have a Street Fighter tie in, Madden 2013: Chun Li’s Revenge, Halo 5: The Flood of Ryu. Actually, I’d play that second game. While you’re practicing…

Get Into a Dog Fight, Blow Your Nose On Your Enemies, and Filter Up Those Photos

Manipulating photos to look like they were taken with a crappy camera is all the rage these days. I can’t even post a photo unless I’ve distressed the edges. It’s a sickness. I would say I have the cure, but I don’t. Instead I have an iPad app that’ll really go to town on your…

Kindle Just Turned Into an Instapaper for Your Files

I like using my ereader for things other than books, but aside from Instapaper, converting regular files into ereader format is more hassle than it’s worth. Now Amazon’s making it easier to send non-book files to your Kindle. Send to Kindle is a new plugin that lets you send a file right to your Kindle…

Amazon Now Allows Third-Party eReader Apps on The Kindle Fire

The latest Kindle Fire update, 6.2.1, has had mixed reviews. It brings plenty of improvements for normal users, but makes rooting more difficult.
