“The best and worst of everything”? I’ll Amen to that!

Voice your opinion As social networks become increasingly popular, the notion of voicing your opinion to complete strangers has become more mainstream. Sure, we’ve already got Twitter and Facebook, but they’re both harbouring an ulterior motive – they want you to communicate with your friends, or online acquaintances, in methods that promote uniformity and mutual [...]

App review – A Game With Balls (AGWB)

A Game With Balls (AGWB) recently rolled onto the AppStore, delivering a sterling punch and kick to the survival-shooter genre.

App Review – Indeed Job Search

It’s the twenty-first Century. Job listings in newspapers have long since fallen from grace, and whilst word of mouth is still a useful tool for sourcing that new career, so is the Internet. Websites such as Monster and Indeed have developed lucrative businesses around this very subject, and in a push to develop the traditional [...]

App Review – Mac User Magazine

If you’re in need of an immediate gaming-fix, there’s an app for that. Perhaps you’re looking to source the weather forecast for the next few days, there’s an app for that too. Maybe you need to toilet-train your toddler; well there’s not an app for that, but I bet a crisp five pound note that [...]
