iPad App of the Week – Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock
This week’s featured app is brought to you by the developers at LightPillar. The Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock is by and large the best alarm clock app out there for both the iPhone and the iPad.

Being in my office all day has lead to many distractions (people walking in without knocking, the phone ringing off the hook, etc) which has prompted me to find a way [...]

Apple “Rock ‘n’ Roll” Event Recap
Today Apple announced their annual iPod line refresh. It was full of the usual upgrades and expected adjustments, no tablet announcements but at the beginning of the event Steve Jobs did indicate that he was working on a lot of great new stuff for the future.
