Write… Or Else! Using Write Or Die

Posted on Friday, November 14, 2008 by Will

This is my first post for IMP, so I figured that it would be fitting to write about something to do with writing (about something to do with writing about something… you get the idea.)

I found a really cool website today! I should probably tell you where I got it, but the problem is that I don’t remember and due to the nature I can’t go look it up now. You’ll see why in a sec. I’ll probably put it in “in post.” (more…)


1st Gen iPod Touch Still a Winner

Back in September, Apple announced new iPods, including a new iPod Touch. Despite the hardware upgrade and a price cut, the refurbished 1st generation iPod Touch is still a good choice.

Since I started iPhone development, I wanted a physical device to test my software on. So I started saving money for an iPod Touch. Once I had about 180 USD, the choice between getting a new 2nd Gen Touch, or a refurbished 1st gen model came into play. (more…)

Ok let’s start off the review with what the game is…

This game was created by Pangea Software Inc – the guys who got me into games and through my first 6 grades. Well they’ve come back to port over not one but 2 of the games I grew up with however, this review is to talk about Enigmo. Enigmo is a puzzle game where you have to get 40 water droplets into that looks to be an urn. The puzzles become more difficult as more coloured water droplets are added in. You are given a limit to the stuff that you can use to create the puzzle In total there are 50 levels with over 300 downloadable levels that are user created.

So, because I have been feeling that there’s more that I can do to get involved in IMP, I’ve decide to start this little bi-weekly “column”, in which I’ll basically review an iPhone application. Just so that everything is clear, this isn’t a “Pick of the Week” a la MacBreak Weekly, it is simply a (hopefully) informative review. Sometimes I’ll love the app, other times I may hate it. It’s just me giving my opinion on any given application. So, I’m going to start off these reviews with one of the first applications announced for the App Store, Super Monkey Ball. (more…)


VoiceDial

For quite some time there has been a jailbreak app that allows fairly consistent voice dialing. HOWEVER, if you kept your Iphone on the up and up (under threat of death and dismemberment from Darth Jobser and crew), there is now a voice dial app hitting the store that brings the noise and the funk.

QuickerTek has introduced it’s latest Apple charging product, this one powered by the sun, called the Apple Juicz. Coming in versions for all three MacBooks (Original, Air and Pro), the charger harnesses the sun through solar panels in a foldable and flexible cell array.

The 18 watt version will charge the Macbook Air in about 14 hours; the 27 watt which will do the same in about 8 hours and the 55 watt which can knock it out in about 5 hours. The biggest downside, so far, is the price tag. The three different versions cost $500, $600 and $1000 respectively. Click the link below to check out the full Macworld article.
