Struggling with your weight loss program? It is a perennial problem that countless people face, but it seems that technology just might help make this endeavor more fun. We all know, deep in our hearts, that no matter what fancy program you try to lose weight, the bottom line is the same: a balanced diet and regular exercise. While that is true, it is a boring idea.

Fake Apple Products Look Eerily Real

February 24, 2012 by Amanda DiSilvestro Leave a Comment

Earlier today The New York Times reported that more and more people are selling fake Apple products in the hopes of making a quick buck. This was first discovered when a police officer came across someone selling what looked exactly like an IPhone. It had what looked like the correct box, and it was being sold for a great price of $150 (although not too great as to seem suspicious). Naturally the police officer assumed someone was selling an IPhone, and the lack of a vendor’s license was the only cause of concern. However, it wasn’t long before police discovered that the IPhone was a fake.

Goop City by Gwyneth Paltrow — Goop City

Truth be told, I couldn’t care less about Gwyneth Paltrow. Okay, she made for an awesome Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies. I especially love how she delivered that line about occasionally taking the trash out. But for the rest, I can’t really be bothered.

So why am I posting about Gwyneth Paltrow having an app up in the iTunes Store? Because it is so ridiculous! [Read more…] about Gwyneth Paltrow’s Got an App: Goop City

There are days when I am on an app rampage and start my day by looking at what can be downloaded for free or for a small fee. Occasionally, I come across a relatively pricey app that I might still consider getting just because I think it’s worth it. Some things I haven’t really paid much attention to, though, are apps from artists that I like.

Today, I had a pleasant surprise while browsing TUAW ((TUAW)). Two of the artists I never hesitate to listen to have released biography apps! News about Pink Floyd and Sting biography apps – how’s that to make one’s day? [Read more…] about Pink Floyd and Sting Biography Apps

vlock: Clock With Videos and Social Networking

November 9, 2011 by noemi Leave a Comment

The iPhone has a pretty good clock, and it suits me just fine for most things. One thing I can say about it, though, is that it simply does what a clock is supposed to do. Now if you want a clock app that gives you a little eye candy and some, you might want to check out a new app on the App Store: vlock.

With the tag line that “it might just be the most beautiful clock on a phone”, one can’t help but get interested, yes? It works with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. vlock is all about background videos that are totally mesmerizing. For some reason, I am reminded of the visual effects that are used for music players. Yes, I have found myself simply staring at them for longer than is necessary.
