| What If Superheroes Had Part-Time Jobs? Posted: 07 Nov 2013 11:30 AM PST  While it may not be completely accurate — you know, because when not in superhero mode, some of them have proper day jobs — it’s still funny to see The Flash delivering pizzas, or Mr. Fantastic picking apples. I get why Batman doesn’t need a part-time job, but then again, why would Iron Man? Anyways, it’s all for laughs. A few of these are available in print for $30 from FlyingMouse365, if you’re interested. Read the full article: What If Superheroes Had Part-Time Jobs? |
| Skitch 3.0.4 Update For iOS Brings Maps & ‘Open In’ Posted: 07 Nov 2013 10:30 AM PST  The popular image annotation tool Skitch, a part of Evernote's suite of apps, is among the best and easiest ways to quickly edit an image and send it to someone. One of its coolest uses is to annotate maps to share directions, and that has got a boost in the new Skitch 3.0.4 update for iPhones and iPads. Maps were removed in an earlier edition of the iOS app, but they have now returned. "Sometimes there's more to tell about a location than you can express with an address alone. Sharing an annotated map is great for showing party guests... Read the full article: Skitch 3.0.4 Update For iOS Brings Maps & 'Open In' |
| Amazon Cloud Player for iPhone: The Champion Of Mobile Music Players Posted: 07 Nov 2013 10:30 AM PST  Are you one of those Spotify listeners who doesn’t want to pay $10 a month to play your music on your mobile device? If so, you may (or may not) know that there are plenty of alternatives which are just as good (if not better) and cheaper. Recently, I profiled Sky.FM, which is one of my favourite music apps for the iPhone, but my all-time favourite, the King of Kings, has to be without a doubt Amazon Cloud Player (free).

| By Gandalf! The 5 Greatest Video Games From Middle Earth Posted: 07 Nov 2013 10:00 AM PST  The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, like most literary works later adapted to film and games, has a rocky history on game consoles and the PC. The first game adaptation of Middle Earth arrived all the way back in 1982 with The Hobbit from Beam Software. Though successful, the game's successors failed to live up to the first title's gameplay, leading developers to abandon the world of Middle Earth in the 1990s. The trilogy's film release gave it a second chance with gamers, and all of the great Lord Of The Rings games have been released after 2002. That's not... Read the full article: By Gandalf!

Maybe not that high, but it’s sure starting to feel like it. It’s hard not to feel a little fatigued with the franchise, especially if you have been grabbing each one year after year. That being said, while the core of what makes COD remains in tact in Ghosts, there are some pretty interesting tweaks to the multiplayer formula that hardcore players should definitely enjoy. If you’ve always hated the Call of Duty multiplayer style, this one doesn’t do anything that revolutionary, but for fans,...

It’s an attractive and functional app, which is why it has been added to our Best of iPhone Apps page. If you’re new to Apple’s mobile devices, you might not know there’s no default Flash support on iOS devices. Whenever you try to play a video on your iOS device and it asks you instead to download Adobe Flash Player, then you will need to try Puffin.
