REVIEW: Make your expensive digital camera look like an expensive regular camera with Exposure from Alien Skin
Posted by Dr. Macenstein As good as today’s digital cameras are, even the high-priced prosumer SLRs can’t quite deliver images with the look and feel of real film.

Posted by iGor Apple has added Ms. Pac-Man to the games section of the iTunes store, bringing the average age of the games available on iTunes up to 249.25 years old (they took quite a hit with Mahjong). We certainly hope rumors of World of Warcraft making its way to the iPhone are true, if for no other reason than to get a game from the last decade up there. Read More

Review: MicroGlove for iPod with video by XtremeMac
Posted by Lab Rat If you are anything like us, by now you own more than one iPod. Also, if you are anything like us, you are being much more careful with your 2nd (or 3rd) iPod than your first, having quickly learned the hard way about the iPod’s tendency to become covered in scratches (seemingly while you are asleep). The search for a good protective case depends entirely... Read More
