The NRA’s iPhone Game Ticks People Off The NRA (National Rifle Association) released an iPhone game that’s designed to educate users on proper use of a handgun. We all know that tilting or touching an iPhone screen is like using a real gun. Right? Anyway, the game was originally given a rating for ages 4+. Now it’s 12+. It’s too violent for kids, according to the App Store. If anything, the game part of it is just a distraction....

Farewell, THQ In perhaps the biggest news of the week, game publisher THQ is no more. It’s been shut down and several of the company assets were sold off. More of its properties are still to be auctioned off. It’s a bit sad to see companies like THQ go, because it was such a big part of the industry at one time. At least several of their development studios and games will live on through other publishers....

The service lets you upload up to 250 songs for free, and is $24.99 / year for the premium service which lets you store 250,000 songs. Then, have it scan your PC automatically for all of the music on your system or browse for it manually. Most users will be fine by clicking Start Scan. But, if you’re like me, and have a complex music management system, you’ll want to click Browse Manually....

Lookout Mobile Security for Android handles 3 basic things in the free version: Security, Backup, and Remotely locating a missing device. The first thing I noticed straightaway was how simple the interface was. This is an app I wouldn’t be afraid of recommending to my technology inept parents, because setup only really takes a few taps here and there – although the most important part of setup requires creating an account....

Apple iTunes 10.5 is brand new, released just a day before the Apple iOS planned launch tomorrow. It includes the final version, it says, of iTunes in the Cloud. This give you features like automatic downloading of previous purchases and WiFi syncing. Interestingly, iTunes 10.5 doesn’t require or even include the old Apple standby QuickTime.

Here’s a video of some funny responses to oddball questions. This video was posted on YouTube by jimmiwhacked. He certainly loves his new iPhone 4S! A lot of geeks have made jokes about Siri being like the HAL 9000 in Stanley Kubrick’s classic movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was based on the book by Arthur C Clarke. This parody video plays off that theme. This video was posted by brewolve on YouTube....

First launch the Mac App Store and find OS X Lion. It will be located on the right hand side under Quick Links. Click the download button. After clicking download, you’ll be taken to Launchpad (if you’re already using Lion). This will take some time, so you might want to do something else and come back to it awhile later. Once it’s done downloading, go to the Finder and look for the Install Mac OS X Lion icon in the Applications folder....

Apple had its big iPhone event yesterday where it announced three new iPhone models, a 4K Apple TV, and new Apple Watch. But one thing you probably missed is the company has removed the iOS App Store from iTunes in the latest update. Moving forward you will need to manage apps directly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. iTunes Version 12.7 Removes iOS App Store The company quietly released iTunes version 12....

This fall, Apple plans on enhancing the paid iCloud tiers it offers, rebranding them iCloud Plus (or iCloud+). No, this won’t give you more storage or let you back up your entire Mac drive in the cloud. And yet, iCloud Plus is packed with some significant new features, and best of all, they won’t cost you any more money. Here’s a look at the differences between the current iCloud service and upcoming iCloud Plus offerings....

You’ll need a cable subscription for HBO and ESPN to work. DirectTV or Charter subscribers won’t be able to use HBO GO, and the ESPN app won’t work if you’re a Dish or DriecTV subscriber. Not a whole lot here for cord cutters. HBO Go does have previews, and ESPN has some videos, but no live streaming without cable. Everyone will be able to watch Sky News live. With a paid subscription, you can watch the anime service Crunchyroll, and the on-demand HD music concert and documentaries on Qello....

The stock headphones are the first thing I throw into my junk drawer when any new mobile gadget arrives. They’re always cheap quality and sound like crap. When I first got the original iPod, I used the headphones that came with it. I tricked myself into thinking that because the device is so amazing, the headphones are too. After a week, I quickly switched to a more comfortable pair that sounded remarkably better....

Apple Devices Compatible with iOS 7 But from what we heard from the announcement yesterday, the new mobile OS has a lot of new eye candy and will require a lot of power under the hood. If you have an older device, it might not have the processing power to give you the full fluid experience that newer devices will have. In fact, it’s possible your older device could run slower by upgrading....

There’s no when and where yet, but fact is that The Daily has seen prototypes of two Asus netbooks running Windows 8, and both of them had a series of sensors on top of the screen, in the normal location of the camera. They also had LEDs under the display. The website has confirmed with a source at Microsoft that the devices were laptops that featured a Kinect sensor. I can only imagine the possibilities this would open in the mobile computing environment....

As soon as you visit codecademy.com the webapp will get you started with learning basic code. JavaScript is on the front of the menu, and it’s served as both an appetizer and main course. The training starts out easy, and in a fashion so simplified that it shouldn’t scare would-be coders away. Rather, it makes programming look easy — which it is once you learn the language. Among the rapidly expanding array of programming languages available at Codecademy are: JavaScript, HTML & CSS, Python, Ruby, jQuery,...
