Tips and tricks: playing excellent, new platformer "Metal Slug 3" with external game controllers
By Werner Ruotsalainen
UPDATE (08/24/2012): the price of Metal Slug 3 has just been slashed to $3.99. A definite buy at that price!
BTW, SNK's other, excellent (TA review) 2012 title, THE KING OF FIGHTERS-i 2012., (iTunes link), is also on sale for $3.99. Another highly recommended title.

Review: Draw Breaker by Elevate Entertainment
By Eric Pankoke
It used to be that I’d start every review about a brick breaker style game saying something about how I don’t really like the genre but… I think I need to stop doing that now. Either I’ve become more selective in the ones that I try or they really do keep getting better, because I’m actually finding myself enjoying the concept more each time I write a review. This time around the subject is Draw Breaker, the latest game from Elevate Entertainment, and this game is a blast! It’s cute, creative and different than any brick breaker I’ve played in the past.
MoPix Video Service Transforms Independent Films into Apps
By Daniel Rasmus
The world of film has become increasingly democratized with the advent of the Internet. People can create films and distribute them with ease. Unfortunately, posting a video to YouTube may generate hits, but it doesn’t necessarily generate bank deposits.

By Werner Ruotsalainen
(Please read THIS for more info on MKV's and why they're preferable to any other format when you, say, rip your own DVD or Blue Ray discs to be played back on your iPad / iPhone. The last article on other hardware playback-capable AppStore players is HERE, with further links to other, previous reviews.)
iPhone, meet the CellHelmet case. You break your iPhone, they replace your iPhone. Guaranteed!
By Dig Om
It's no secret, there are a plethora of cases out there that offer extreme protection for your iPhone. Some are definitely designed better than others, and some are bulky, and others less so. In fact, many cases offer protection from water, dust, shock, vibration and impact, but only one company offers the assurance that if your iPhone breaks while it's in their case, they will replace your device.
The Problem with the Scientific American Newsstand Policy
By Daniel Rasmus
No one pays full price for trade publication subscriptions anymore. And if they do, they haven't shopped around. Most of my magazine subscriptions are now on the iPad. When publishers create an iPad app, they proudly announced it and tell current subscribers how to access the bits.
Why Rush Limbaugh loves Apple
By Jim Karpen
The irony. When Rush Limbaugh and co tried to get Apple to advertise on his popular radio talk show, Apple wouldn't even talk to him. Limbaugh acknowledges that, politically, Apple doesn't have anything in common with him. And he acknowledges that Apple's technology is highly restrictive. But despite all that, he loves Apple products. And on his show yesterday he talked at length why he loves Apple products in response to a caller's questions, making assertions such as: "It's just the stuff works.
Great video player AVPlayerHD receives hardware MKV / AVI video playback support!
By Werner Ruotsalainen
UPDATE (08/08/2012): the just-released version (1.51) of AVPlayerHD no longer defaults to the hardware playback of MKV files, as is also mentioned in the update notes:
(click the image for a full-sized one! BTW, as you can see, a lot of other players have also received some serious updates in the last 2-3 days. So did the Photon Flash browser, which I'll also dedicate a separate article in the near future. PlayerXtreme, half-visible at the top of the screen, has only received some bugfixes.)
Two HDMI to VGA solutions, for Apple TV and more
By Todd Bernhard
The Dark Knight Rises; an epic movie, an amazing game and this week’s App Store Editor’s Choice. Designed specifically for the mobile gaming platform, The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR) is a perfect and stellar accompaniment to the blockbuster summer movie of the same name.
Making music has been a part-time practice for me for decades now and I've dabbled in everything from guitar and piano to drums and didgeridoo. One thing that I've particularly enjoyed over the past several years is the way programs like Garage Band have made composing and recording great original tracks easy for everyone from amateurs like myself, to professionals like Trent Reznor, composer of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo soundtrack and Nine Inch Nails frontman. And if Garage Band made things convenient before iOS, then since the arrival of Garage Band on iOS, recording whatever we are inspired to compose has truly become a graceful, portable and trouble-free affair.
So I was excited when I got the opportunity to try out the new Carbon 49 keyboard by Samson. The Carbon 49 is an economical and portable solution to MIDI music performance and it boasts a number of unique and valuable features to make the process of playing and capturing music an intuitive one, with high quality results. I got to spend hours jamming on this little instrument this week and here are some of my findings and feedback.

TED: Four principles for an open world
By Mark Winegar
If I were marooned on a desert island with only one app for my iPhone or iPad this would be it!
I discovered TED Talks a few years ago and began sharing it with my students. Watching great speakers at work is a marvelous way for students to learn how to deliver their own presentations. Besides, the ideas presented are well worth sharing.
