Corkbin updated, lets you buy wine right from the app

by Mike Schramm (Sep 5th, 2012)

Corkbin is probably my favorite app on the App Store that I don't actually use that much. I've wanted to learn more about wine for a long time. Corkbin, which lets you track and rate the wines you drink, seems like a great way to do that. Unfortunately, whenever I end up at the bar or ...

Daily iPad App: Feed Me Oil HD

by Mike Schramm (May 17th, 2012)

Chillingo's Feed Me Oil was released a little while ago, and it's a solid game that didn't get a ton of press when it first dropped. The reason for that is probably because it's somewhat similar to Where's My Water, in that you're trying to get a fluid simulation into a certain place on the ...
