 New QuickLook Domain At TechnoBrains.comBy Eric Pankoke, December 31, 2009
Topics: I'll admit this is a bit of self-promotion, and it isn't completely iDevice related, but the post will be short and it's New Year's Eve, so I figured "why not?" At the beginning of 2009 I started writing short reviews of iPhone games that I dubbed "Quick Looks". The intent was to simply write a couple of paragraphs providing a basic overview of the game and the give it a simple verdict: Recommend, On The Fence or Not Recommended. On The Fence usually meant I liked the game, but I wasn't really sure if it would have mass appeal or not.

Red Laser: Knowing if you're getting a good dealBy Conrad Blickenstorfer, December 15, 2009
I have about 90 apps on my iPhone 3GS, some of which I use every day, some of them occasionally, and some never. There are some I thought I'd use a lot, just to find that they're not as useful as I'd anticipated, and there are others that I thought were just novelties and I find myself using them all the time. Red Laser, the app that lets you scan any barcode and the iPhone then quickly pulls up pricing available on the Internet for the item, is one of the latter.

Apps for the Citizen Journalist
Apps to help collect, analyze, and report the news.
Citizen Journalism: The concept of members of the public playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing and disseminating news and information.Also know as....
“street journalism.”
Why would someone who already has a day job want to compete with Katie Couric or Maureen Dowd?
Most citizen journalists will say they aren’t trying to replace those folks but want to contribute to the public’s understanding of issues and events by offering independent, accurate, and relevant information.
Whether they’re checking on City Hall or investigating corporate waste or fraud, there are hosts of new iPhone apps ready to help these new reporters find i

Complete tutorial with video: extend the functionality of your iPhone Web browser!By Werner Ruotsalainen, November 30, 2009
Topics: I’ve elaborated on the highly useful scriptlets in several of my articles. These are special bookmarks invoked when you want to do some specific action on a Web page already loaded; for example, scrolling to the bottom or finding a specific word. They vastly enhance the functionality of all scriptlet-capable Web browsers; as of the time of writing, any Safari version, iCab Mobile 2.0, Journey Web Browser 1.3, iNetDual 1.2.0, Perfect Browser 2.7 and Full Screen Web Browser 1.1.1 – and all this without (!) jailbreaking your phone.

Make Web Browsing Easier
New Safari features and iCab Mobile make browsing easier on your iPhone or iPod touch

A scientific calculator was added to the iPhone and iPod touch with versions 2.0 and later of the OS. Among its functions is a random number generator. Press the “Rand” key at the bottom of the screen and Calc displays a random number with 15 decimal places, between 0 and 1. Developers could use this feature to create registration numbers; regular users could use it to create truly random passcodes or passwords. For example, if you wanted to create a random eight digit password, you could hit the Rand button and use the last eight digits of the random number for your password.
We all love the iPhone’s pinch-capable browsing and gesture-based navigation. Its clean, animated experience is a wonder to behold. The iMac similarly sports an advanced and animated desktop and there is little doubt that both the iMac and the iPhone have set new standards for attractive window navigation that is hard to replicate on a PC.
