Quality Customer Service – MonoPrice.com

December 31, 2009 by Kevin Whipps 5 Comments

Santa was good to the Whipps family this year. Although I didn’t get everything I wanted, the biggie was right there under the tree: A shiny, PS3 slim. I’m a bit of a console nut, and so is my wife. We have every Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony console ever built, and even a Sega Genesis […]

RipIt – DVDs on your Mac

December 30, 2009 by Kevin Whipps 16 Comments

I’ve been working on setting up a Mac media system in my house, and no matter what I do, I just can’t make it work the way I want. The AppleTV is great, but I first have to rip things via Handbrake – which takes as long as the movie takes – and then I […]

Audio HiJack Pro – Record Anything

December 29, 2009 by Kevin Whipps 5 Comments

Last week I talked about Pulsar, a program that lets you listen to satellite radio via your desktop, without having to log into a clunky web interface. Turns out that Rogue Amoeba makes a lot of products, including Audio Hijack Pro, so I sent off an e-mail, and they sent me a free license so […]

So you’ve gathered everyone for the holidays and it’s more than likely going to last till the start of the new year. Here’s an app I play with my cousins during such reunions: Face Fighter. Sure it’s relatively more expensive for a paid game at USD $1.99 but no iPhone game has ever made me […]

Cinch – Aero Snap on the Mac

December 24, 2009 by Kevin Whipps 1 Comment

My father is a Microsoft certified software dude, so he’s had Windows 7 for the past few months, and has installed it on a few machines to test it out. I was at my parent’s house a month or so back and had to use my mom’s Dell, and I found this cluttered screen with […]

IMPULSIVE Review of Awful “Bouncedown” App

December 22, 2009 by RJ Huneke 3 Comments

The #1 Top Downloaded Free application in the Apple Store is “Bouncedown,” and I wish that this fact had not inspired me to acquire the horrid game for this piece. There could be prejudice here, as the player testing the “Bouncedown” App is absolutely awful at the simple, but clunky game for the iPhone’s touch […]

Pulsar – Satellite Radio on Your Desktop

December 22, 2009 by Kevin Whipps 3 Comments

Let’s get this out of the way right now: I’m a Howard Stern fan. Like him or hate him, the guy changed radio as we know it, and for that, I thank him. Bababooey to all of you. Because of that – and the commercial-free radio offerings – I signed up for Sirius Satellite Radio […]
