Harry Potter eBooks To Be DRM Free
24 Jun 2011 by Kevin Schulte
Personally, I am not a fan of publishers locking down eBooks with intrusive and unnecessary DRM. It devalues their product and does little to prevent piracy anyway. It’s unfortunate that almost all major publishers and digital book distributors continue to sell their books with such a handicap. One giant name in the book industry, however, is looking to shake things up. J. K. Rowling, autho...

Banish In-Browser Advertisments On Your Android Phone With AdFree
17 May 2011 by Kevin Schulte
Browser advertisements – the bane of every Internet user’s existence. Sure, there are plenty of sites that aren’t overzealous with advertisements, but for every site that tucks a small ad into the corner, there are ten that present you with giant flashing sidebars and bombard you with full-page ads that demand your attention. All of the major desktop browsers have plug-ins that h...

How To: Import E-Books Into Aldiko for Android Using Dropbox
05 Apr 2011 by Kevin Schulte / 2 Comments
It’s been nearly a year since I last wrote about Aldiko, and while the E-book market on Android has exploded since then I still consider Aldiko to be the best reader out there. E-book powerhouses like Amazon and Barnes and Noble have both launched reader applications of their own, but they both lack a seemingly critical feature: the ability to import your own E-books to read. Luckily for yo...

DroidWall: The Aptly Named Android Firewall Solution
08 Mar 2011 by Kevin Schulte / 4 Comments
Installing Android applications can sometimes be a risky operation. A list of permissions requested by the application pops up before installation, but how many people actually read those? Even if you do read them, they can often leave you puzzled as to why that application needs that permission. I recently installed a newly-released game on my phone, and, like usual, took a look at the permission...

One of Android’s greatest advantages over its biggest competitor is its awesome support for multitasking right out of the box. Simply hold down the Home button for a few seconds to gain access to the eight most recently used applications on your device without ever leaving the currently running application. But what do you do if the application you want isn’t on that list? How will you...

Mobile Game Review: NBA Jam For iOS
22 Feb 2011 by Kevin Schulte
Boomshakalaka! Having grown up in the ’90s, NBA Jam: Tournament Edition is one of the many games I look back on fondly. Before the release of Goldeneye, NBA Jam is what my friends and I would play nonstop. Packed with outrageous dunks, an over-enthusiastic announcer, and violent gameplay that only vaguely follows the rules of basketball, NBA Jam single-handedly created a new genre of sports...

Midweek Fun: Nuke the Undead in Atom Zombie Smasher
26 Jan 2011 by Kevin Schulte / 1 Comment
Indie developer Blendo Games released their latest game, Atom Zombie Smasher, a couple of days ago. With a name like that, how could the game possibly be bad? Atom Zombie Smasher, as the name implies, is all about smashing zombies. You are tasked with cleaning up your area’s zombie (or Zed, as the game calls them) infestation and evacuating any survivors. To start, you are only given a rescu...

It’s been over a month since we last heard from Federico Carnales, developer of the awesome Android homescreen replacement application LauncherPro. He’s been busy completely rewriting LauncherPro from scratch, but recently found time to push out an update to the current version that adds some very cool screen transitions. For the uninitiated, LauncherPro is one of many homescreen repla...
