Animoog: The $30 Moog Synthesizer You’ve Always Wanted Posted: 14 Nov 2013 01:00 PM PST The Moog name has been synonymous with quality, analogue synthesizers since the late 1960s. These items have always been prohibitively expensive for many, so now you can get Animoog for iPad ($31.99) instead. I get it – $30 for an app seems eye-wateringly expensive these days, but when you consider the thousands of dollars asked by the company for their musical hardware, it starts to look a little more tempting. Moog synthesizers have been used extensively over the years, from musicians like The Beatles to Stanley Kubrick film soundtracks. Using some convincing emulation and Moog’s new Anisotropic Synth Engine (ASE),... Read the full article: Animoog: The $30 Moog Synthesizer You’ve Always Wanted

Create DVDs and Blu-ray Disc Backups Effortlessly With DVDFab Copy Suite [Giveaway] Posted: 14 Nov 2013 09:30 AM PST There is nothing worse than buying an expensive DVD or Blu-ray disc of your favourite movie or TV show, only to damage it down the line.

While it’s a pity that there are still that many problems with the game despite the beta, there was simply not enough time to fix everything. Apparently EA wanted to beat Call of Duty: Ghosts to the market, which is why the quality was subpar at launch. Until the developers get around to solving the issues that you have, a good number of them already have... Read the full article: 8 Issues Plaguing Battlefield 4 And How To Fix Them

Let 1Password for Mac Manage Your Passwords & Secure Data Posted: 14 Nov 2013 08:00 AM PST Despite the new iCloud Keychain feature in OS X Mavericks, I still prefer the power of managing my passwords in AgileBits’s classic and popular 1Password, now in its fourth version. 1Password not only takes care of your login information, it’s also a great tool for securing and storing other information, including bank account numbers, secure notes, and software licenses. 1Password can sync your data across all of your Mac, iOS and Android devices.
