Daily iPhone App: Asteroids Gunner

by Mike Schramm (Nov 16th, 2011)

I launched Asteroids Gunner with low expectations. Asteroids is one of the oldest games around, and it's hard to see how even Atari can squeeze anything more from this relic. But lo and behold, it has. Asteroids Gunner is a remarkable freemium dual-stick shooter, turning the top-down 2D ...

by Kelly Hodgkins (Oct 27th, 2011)

Mac OS X 10.5 introduced a new feature that warned users when they first opened a file downloaded from the Internet.

Daily Mac App: SiteSucker

by Samuel Gibbs (Aug 30th, 2011)

Back in the pre-ubiquitous internet days, services like AvantGo allowed you to cache and store websites for offline viewing. These days there's little need for that kind of thing, simply because we're very rarely offline. Having said that, there are times when a solid internet connection just ...

As Erica announced moments ago, the latest beta of iOS 5 (beta 4) is now downloadable from Apple's developer website. There's another way to get it, however, if you're a registered developer with beta 3 installed on your device: over the air. Beta 4, according to Apple's release notes, is ...

TUAW's Daily iPhone App: Zynga Poker

by Mike Schramm (Jul 18th, 2011)

Zynga has gained a reputation as the evil empire lately, and to a certain extent that's true -- a lot of the company's Facebook "games" aren't much more than pyramid scams. But Texas Hold'Em poker is a game that will always have players, and for all of Zynga's drama, their Poker app has been ...

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (May 26th, 2011)

In the next effort to go toe-to-toe with Apple, Amazon took a swing at the Mac App Store and launched the Mac Download Store today. While its offerings aren't as robust as the Mac App Store, Amazon scored some big points by offering Mac software for download that Apple doesn't have -- namely ...

Merriam-Webster Dictionary now available on iPad for free

by Mike Schramm (May 26th, 2011)

You could argue that there's not much need for a separate dictionary app any more. With dictionary services built into nearly every interface and Google and Wikipedia searches just a tap away, it's not hard to find out what a word means or how it's spelled any more. But sometimes you may just ...

Tiny Wings theme song now available as free download

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Mar 22nd, 2011)

As we reviewed in late February, Tiny Wings is an addictive game from the moment you first launch it. For a tiny app, it's powerful enough to knock the mighty Angry Birds off its perch atop the paid app list in the App Store. As of early this morning, Tiny Wings still enjoyed the top ...

by Chris Ward (Mar 10th, 2011)

Verizon's network may reach areas that AT&T doesn't, but people stuck with AT&T have told themselves at least AT&T's data network is faster. While this is indeed the case, it doesn't make web pages load any faster on AT&T than on Verizon, according to a phone testing ...
