Appletell reviews Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac OS X

by Kirk Hiner on Nov 7, 2009 at 05:52 PM

Adobe has been bringing us Photoshop Elements. This is a friendlier image manipulation program. Cheaper. You don’t get nearly the amount of power and control you get with Photoshop, but you do get enough to have some fun and produce some very cool images. With this iteration, Adobe has not… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews three accidentally educational games for iPhone, iPod touch

by Ed Parry on Nov 7, 2009 at 12:20 PM

In this review, we look at three educational iPhone applications; Polynx, QuizQuizQuiz and Whirly Word. Each one is slightly different, but each one is, in its own right, a great title to play. Whether you’re looking to extend your general knowledge, language vocabulary or to test your basic arithmetic ability,… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews the BookArc Desktop Stand for MacBooks

by Kirk Hiner on Nov 6, 2009 at 10:09 AM

I like the BookArc; let’s start with that. This device from Twelve South is a simple but solid heavy gauge steel arc in which your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air can rest in its closed position. Why would you need that? You wouldn’t be asking if you use an… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews Scholastic vocabulary apps for iPhone, iPod touch

by Kirk Hiner on Nov 5, 2009 at 10:59 AM

There’s no shortage of iPhone apps available to keep kids occupied while you wait for your bloomin’ onion to be served. There’s also no shortage of apps available to explain why you shouldn’t be eating a bloomin’ onion. In this review, though, we’ll focus on the kids, and take a… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews Adobe After Effects CS4

by Bill Stiteler on Nov 2, 2009 at 12:52 PM

To use Adobe After Effects is to stare into the face of madness. And I mean that in the best way possible. The simplest way to describe it is as Photoshop for video; you can import it, add special effects, or even use it to create video from scratch. This… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews “And Another Thing…” H2G2 audio book for iPhone, iPod touch

by Kirk Hiner on Nov 2, 2009 at 08:21 AM

It’s true. There’s a sixth installment in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy. With the death of Douglas Adams in 2001, it seemed the landmark series had reached a less than impressive end with Mostly Harmless, a book which Douglas himself referred to as “bleak.” But is a bleak… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews augmented reality games for iPhone 3GS

by Josh Holat on Nov 1, 2009 at 09:53 PM

Augmented reality. If you’re not familiar with the phrase, get there. It’s a fairly new trend in games in which the computer generated graphics are laid on top of what you actually see around you. There are other more detailed and possibly more accurate definitions, but forget about them. What… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews two deer hunting games for iPhone, iPod Touch

by Josh Holat on Nov 1, 2009 at 05:05 PM

In terms of how hunting may actually be, Real Deer Hunting does a better job at portraying that. However, when I want to play a game on my iPhone, I look to play the more exciting and action packed ones, so Big Buck Hunter was a better experience for me.… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews the NZXT CRYO S Notebook Cooler

by Jake Gaecke on Oct 31, 2009 at 10:25 AM

The CRYO S notebook cooler/stand is made out of one super thick (3mm) piece of aluminum. It has a nice brush-black aluminum finish with some slots cut out, some grill work, and some rubber details to keep your notebook in place. Underneath the slab of metal are two 120mm fans.… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews Pitz and Pang for iPhone, iPod touch

by Bill Stiteler on Oct 30, 2009 at 10:44 AM

I sometimes worry I’m too easy of a reviewer; that I dish out fours and fives by default, remember only the good parts of games, glossing over the rough edges, and just generally giving designers the benefit of the doubt. Then I run into games like Pitz and Pang, now… Continue Reading »
