One of my RSS feeds deals with all of the free apps on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Initially I looked at every app just in case there was something I wanted, but now this whole "FREE" and "LITE" bullcrap is driving me nuts.Apple claims that there are a gazzilion apps on the app store. OK smartypants, how many of those apps are "FREE" or "LITE"...in other words DEMO versions of full apps? How many of

One of the video games, from my childhood, that really stand out on the Amiga platform for me is Chuck Rock. This game is a typical side-scrolling platformer. The overall plot isn't that sophisticated. Chuck's wife (or girlfriend) is abducted by an evil doer and Chuck being the cavalier caveman that he is must go rescue her.Along the road there will be some dinosaurs that help chuck on his noble quest,

A lot of people will consider what I am writing as heresy, but I do think that people should retire some of their blogs if they have multiple blogs going. In the past month a retired my two year old blog called Ενα μηλο την ημέρα (an apple a day) which is a Greek blog on Apple related news and tech. I also retired my first Greek blog

Here's and interesting (short) animated documentary on the history of the internet.For most geeks among us this is common knowledge, but it's a good video to get those among us who don't know much about the origins of the internet up to speed :-)

One of this season's ITV series that I enjoyed watching is Demons.It takes place in modern London (if I am not mistaken), and it follows the life of the last of the Van Hellsings (Luke) who just found out that all that was written about vampires and demons is true.Philip Glenister (or Life on Mars fame) is his godfather who apprentices Luke into the world of cleansing this world of half-lives (their

One more service to bite the dust - Yahoo! BriefcaseI started using it when it first came out but in recent years it's taken a back seat and I started using box.net, iDisk and google docs for the various cloud-drive requirements.

To tell you the truth, this was a somewhat non-memorable game.It is true that it had some great graphics, compared to other games I had played on portable platforms at the time. The story is essentially Mickey falling asleep on a fairy tale book, and he becomes the protagonist that saves the land.The stages in the game were good. As I see screenshots of the game, my memory is jogged, but it's nothing

This article was an interesting read on IGN retro. It's an article about the origins of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM). It brought back lot's of memories of similar gaming magazines I used to buy in Greece at that time :-)Look at that first cover! The graphics are indeed indicative on a bygone era!

It's funny to think that my PowerBook G4 is now obsolete...or vintage as TUAW puts it.Amazingly, my PowerBook runs with few problems, and I can still do (almost) everything I need to do on it - if you exclude the brain aneurism it had a few years back and it can do WiFi, Accelerated Video and Audio.I post this from my obsolete Mac. The funny thing is that an obsolete Mac is still better than an Obsolete

Monk is quirky.Monk is obsessive compulsiveMonk is a crime solverMonk is a show you should be watching.This series, now in its final (8th) year, follows a former police detective Adrian Monk. He has a big case of the OCD and it's this quirkyness that makes the series funny among other things. Monk's life hasn't been easy, and after his wife is killed in a bomb explosion, this throws him in a loop.
