by Mel Martin (Mar 15th, 2011)

As a news junkie, I just can't get enough information. I adore Pulse, and I think Flipboard is interesting and useful. Like most of you, I spend a lot of time checking out news sites and using apps like the New York Times and the NPR app. Enter Zite. Zite is a just released free iPad app that ...

Is the Apollo News Reader defunct?

by Mel Martin (Nov 22nd, 2010)
