If you’ve ever heard of the internet and/or have an email account, then you’ve undoubtedly seen captioned pictures that are supposed to be funny. There is an entire network of sites dedicated to pictures with captions: LOLCats, I Can Haz Cheezburger, FAIL Blog, and the like. One thing all of the pictures have in common [...]

One of the most surprisingly useful things my iPhone 4 has is an LED flash. It’s actually terrible as a flash, but I really quickly found myself opening the camera app in order to use the flash as a flashlight. It was only a matter of time before flashlight apps started springing up on the [...]

Staying healthy is more than just a matter of going to the gym or running a marathon. It’s also about maintaining a positive attitude, not just about your environment but also about yourself. Mental and spiritual well-being is just as important as keeping your body in shape. Health Yourself by Kagan Media Net is an [...]

There are over 225,000 apps in the iTunes App Store, and the number is growing each day. While the apps available are neatly divided into categories and you can browse by several different criteria, finding anything good in that morass of mediocrity is almost hopeless.

Every decent host provides usage tracking tools, even Google has a good free service, but none of those free offerings seem to have any flare. This is where NeoWORX (the self-proclaimed “Web Counter Specialist”) comes in. More than simply tracking [...]

Fans of classic rock, rock memoirs, or first-person accounts of free concerts that end in a stabbing should all find something to like in Sam Cutler’s book You Can’t Always Get What You Want.
