Dating is a game of chess and love isn’t much different; make all the right moves and “king me”, you’re in love, but then the game continues and for us men, that’s a game we probably won’t win right? So, …

Use an iPod or any other digital audio/video player for more than listening to music alone. Everyone in this world knows what an ipod is, yet not everyone is aware of the extra benefit you can get from it. iPods started off as portable music players, but today they can be used to play movies, view photos, play games, store text documents, set reminders and can also be used as an alarm clock! The uses continue, you can even implement an Ipod as a scheduler and workout trainer. The iPod’s prima...  show all text

Advertise here with BSA Alright, so I am not too much of a social gamer. I get invited to them several times a day, but time has never allowed me to venture out of my to-do list to see what they are all about. It’s intriguing, I have to admit that. However, I always see those reports that say social gaming easily creates an addiction and that if you can stay away from them, it will benefit your creativity. Even though I don’t think I would get glued to the screen because of some game, I am st...  show all text

There's an interesting post over at ZDnet by Violet Blue, describing how she was gang-attacked online after writing a post that offended some Apple fanboys. The incident is convoluted. Blue apparently referred to someone at Macworld as a "Booth babe," and the fanboys got offended and demanded that Blue apologize and call the women by her proper designation--"developer."  Then it turned out that the woman was not the person the fanboys thought she was and was in fact a PR person. But the command...  show all text

26 models of Trendnet webcams have been identified as vulnerable to a bug that lets anyone tap into the video stream with just an IP address. The flaw was noted a month ago and the company has been working to alert people and patch the devices. Unfortunately, the company has no way of contacting non-registered webcam owners, and so the devices may remain accessible if the users never suspect anything. It’s a bit scary, but certainly not unprecedented. Although it’s not quite the same thing, two...  show all text

What started as a bit of aimless tinkering for developer Arun Thampi ultimately unearthed something very surprising about personal life-sharing service Path. As a fan of the app, Thampi took it upon himself to look at the API calls that the app made to Path’s service and found that his “entire address book (including full names, emails and phone numbers) was being sent as a plist to Path.” Puzzled, Thampi created an entirely new Path and tried again, only to be faced with the same results.

Even if you haven’t ever visited popular visual bookmarking site Pinterest, you might recognize its design elements — which have been popping up everywhere since the startup burst onto the mainstream scene in 2011.

Skip college, work at a startup. That’s the idea behind a new two-year program called Enstittue that started accepting applications Tuesday. As newspaper headlines about recent college graduates read along the lines of “educated, unemployed and frustrated” and the average college student takes on a record-breaking amount of crippling debt (on average, $25,250), the program isn’t the first to suggest that there might be something remiss with our certification system. Enstitute has, however, prop...  show all text

Say you, like me, wrote a book about the two Lithuanian lovers who find themselves trapped in a basement and have to solve mysteries and learn magic to escape the traps set by them by an evil wizard robot using their brawn, brains, and a little sultry lovemaking. How would you publish and sell it? Presumably you would visit the Kindle, B&N, and Apple book stores and upload it, making it available on all of those platforms and raking in the dough. Now, however, you can just use Booktango. Before...  show all text

Making it to the top of the charts is tough, considering more than 500,000 apps are available for download.
