We've mentioned the brainstorming, mind mapping, project managing notebook application Curio a few times before. The full version, Curio Professional, runs US$169.99, and the Standard version is $119.99, and both are well worth it in this blogger's opinion. Today, however, Curio announced a new ...

Notable iPad apps

by Brett Terpstra (May 16th, 2010)

The iPad is great for a lot of tasks, but one area of potential appeals to me more than any other: brainstorming and note taking.

Mindjet maps best San Francisco to-dos

by Michael Rose (Jan 4th, 2007)

OK, I'll confess: I really wish I could go to Macworld Expo next week. Since I'm in the unfortunate 40% of TUAW bloggers who aren't making the western swing, the most important question for me is "How can I live vicariously through my colleagues, and help them make the best choices about where to ...
