iPhone Apps of the Week: Receiptmate, Snap Save, and More

Receiptmate: No one save receipts anymore.

I Really Want a Giant Unabridged English Dictionary and I Don’t Care

Does a 35-pound dictionary count as a gadget? I don’t know. I don’t know. The Oxford English Dictionary is useless. It serves no practical purpose, is devoid of any remnant of meaningful utility, is obsolete, is a 19th century relic compiled over decades during which the whole of the Transcontinental Railroad was built and John…

Finally, a hospital drama with Wizard of Oz characters

We tend to love things because we remember them—hey, it’s that thing I remember! And when the owners of the trademarks and copyrights of those things decide to make new things that are even better, like a television medical drama based on The Wizard of Oz, it is our fear of death that keeps us…

Holy Crap, Does This Shazam for Live Music Actually Work?

Music recognition apps like Shazam are great for telling you what’s playing on the radio or at the bar, but they can’t help you identify anything that’s being performed live. That is until now.
