A Few Words On Android And iPhone
I’ve been browsing around Google’s Android Market. For all the complaints some have when using iTunes Store for the App Store—and, admittedly, there’s an awful lot going on in iTunes—it sure seems to work well compared to Android Market, which is typical Google—barren, sterile, lifeless. Market came out just a month or two after the App Store, yet has just crossed the 50,000 app threshold vs. nearly 200,000 for the App Store in roughly the same period (App Store developers had a head start, though).

Add and track your time using iCal
I like simple. For Mac users, iCal is simple. It tracks To-Do items, notes, and, importantly your daily schedule, and it does it on multiple calendars. What would make iCal even better? Since iCal captures my daily schedule, wouldn’t it be handy to pull up all that data and calculate the time spent on various events, projects, meetings, and tasks? That’s what TimeTable does.
The Power of Perfect Diet Tracker on a Mac
One of the problems with being an aging computer user is diet. And exercise. Alright, that’s two problems. Simple problems. Too much of the wrong kind of food. Not enough exercise. Fortunately, the solution is simple. Unfortunately, the solution is not easy. Your Mac and Perfect Diet Tracker to the rescue.
Zapping and managing apps on your Mac
How many applications, utilities, and games do you have on your Mac? How do you manage the updates? How do you delete unneeded apps? How do you track app serial numbers and registrations? So many questions. One very good answer. AppZapper.
