Lit2Go on iTunes
I was an English Literature Major, so you’ll understand if I’m more than just a little excited about my new find on the iTunes Store: it’s called Lit2Go, and it’s a collection of classic stories and poems, yours to download and listen to for free.
There’s a good selection, with something for almost everybody, from Edgar [...]
iTunes Movie Trailers – A Second Look
Movie trailers are everywhere nowadays, mostly with crappy resolution and horrible frame rates. You can find almost any movie you want on YouTube, but that doesn’t mean that it’s going to look good, even in HD. It’s then that I almost always come back to Apple for the good stuff.
It’s easy to forget about the [...]
Apple Working on Cloud-Based iTunes?
There’s been a lot of talk recently about Apple bringing iTunes, music and video streaming to the cloud. They’re building a mammoth data center in North Carolina, they just bought Lala which is a streaming media service, and then there’s all this iPad talk. Now, CNET is reporting that Apple is working on letting iTunes [...]
Apple Hits 10 Billion iTunes Downloads: I Plan My Shopping List
Well, you may not have heard, but iTunes just hit 10 billion songs downloaded. Actually, you probably did hear, because I mentioned it last week. You also know then that Apple is giving away a $10,000 iTunes gift card to anyone who’s bought a song from the service in the past few days. Of course [...]
Rumor: CBS to Drop TV Show Pricing on iTunes to .99 Cents
Oh, CBS. The company with the logo that looks like either the Death Star, or that stalker who keeps hiding in my bushes. Sure, the network is mostly known for producing shows my grandma would watch, but they do have How I Met Your Mother, which makes up for a lot of that.
Last Friday, I [...]
Win $10 Large from Apple
Ever sat around with a bunch of friends and said, “Hey, what would you do if you had $1 million right now?” Then everyone says they’d buy this car, or this house, and then one jerk says something stupid like “cure cancer,” so you kick him out of the room and make fun of his [...]
“Beautiful Boobs” is the 2nd Most Downloaded Free App
Well they really do have an App for everything on the iPhone! Never mind how I found the “Beautiful Boobs” application, which has become a staple of the Top Ten Free Downloads in the Apple Store, just believe me when I tell you that I found it…
Traversing this simple application one finds that there [...]
Avoid the Car Crash Play With the “Traffic Rush” App
The trick is that the busy traffic moves at different speeds, and quite like New York drivers, the vehicle drivers in the game are completely inconsiderate toward one another, and will not slow down even if it means running someone off of the road.
“KickMap” App Makes the New York City Subway Trains Catchable
Let’s hypothetically say that the subway is a dank underground dungeon housing miles of impregnable track that one must follow amidst confusing labyrinths, which lie beneath the concrete castles of New York City, in order to get anywhere.
Well that’s New York, and its useful, necessary and intricate underground train system, the subway, is a mystery [...]
iTunes Extras, HD Movies and HD versus SD Media
Over the holiday weekend, while suffering from a case of eating too much … everything, I decided to pick up Star Trek from iTunes to try out a few different features, then tell you about how they work. After all, not only is Star Trek an excellent movie, but it’s available in HD, with iTunes [...]
