Where in the world is Obleo

Jaadu is not for those crybaby cheap skates that complain that an application cost more than $0.99. Honsetly no app should cost that low. That is another story about developers pimping them self out , for peanuts.

There a number of these Touchpad apps out there for to use your iPod Touch or iPhone to control your mac, PC and even linux desktops. Most of them work to some degree (I actually bought every one of them.). But Jaadu blows all of them out of the water ten folds over.

First off Jaadu is the only one of it's class that gives you a desktop view, aka you see your desktop machine on the device. Any other way is really hard to control with any ease.

The amount of features are mind blowing, from multitouch , mouse and keyboard etc, etc. It like your basicly sitting by your desktop. So does it work, Yes 100%

What could it be used for, Lazy asses like my self that do not want to go and sit in front of there cpu to do something.

I've used it with hulu, from a different room, play flash games from it. (revweb people played Malte's Drops, from it) Works good for drawing with a real drawing app while lounging in a different room.  You name , it seems to do it.

It hands down the best app I ever used on the iPod Touch / iPhone.
The only clincher, you will have to pay for what a real app cost. Just as if you where going to buy just about any app for the mac. It will cost you over $20.00  and know what, it actually worth every penny. Even if it really is just designed to make us all that much more lazy.

Get the lowdown on what Jaadu can do. I have it and it does work, It works really will so thats not an issue.

A very casual puzzle game for mac. The object is to remove the color tiles from the center of the screen. It a relaxing game play and for $3.99 worth the cost. The only major downside is there is no save. (???) Otherwise it worth a look at, If you like puzzle relaxing type enjoyment.

Thanks Apple, for actually reading bug reports. This fixes an number of issue with iTunes. Also added new things. But many of the fixes are what interest me, to write about it.

Here is the short list of fixes and improvements.

iTunes 9.0.2 adds support for Apple TV software version 3.0, adds an option for a dark background for Grid View, and improves support for accessibility.

iTunes 9 comes with many new features and improvements, including:

• An improved look and feel, including a new Column Browser for easily browsing your artists or albums, movies, TV shows, and more.

• iTunes Store has a brand new look, with improved navigation for quick and easy exploration.

• iTunes LP and iTunes Extras create unique experiences that feature exclusive interviews, videos, photos, and more — available with select album and movie purchases on the iTunes Store.

• Home Sharing helps you manage your family's iTunes collection between computers in your home. iTunes can automatically transfer new purchases, or you can choose just the items you want.

• Genius Mixes are created for you by iTunes and play songs from your library that go great together.

• iPod and iPhone syncing now allows you to organize your iPhone and iPod touch home screens directly in iTunes. Syncing is now also more flexible, allowing you to sync individual artists, genres, or TV show and Podcast episodes.

• iTunes U items are now organized into their own section in your iTunes library.

• Sync with iPod nano (5th generation), iPod classic (Fall 2009), and iPod touch (Fall 2009).

• iTunes 9 also includes many other improvements, such as HE-AAC encoding and playback, more flexibility with Smart Playlists rules, simpler organization of your media files inside an iTunes Media folder, and more.

Check software update for the upgrade.

This has to be the best thing I seen for a while. On the Developers site it says and I quote. "Buy it! It Cost Whatever You Want(ish)!"

With a field to add the amount you wish to pay and a button to buy it (note A minimum of $1 is the least amount accepted.) How can anyone really pass that up???

It a fun game shooter game for mac or windows. But the pure willingness to offer it for whatever you want(ish) . surprised me enough to write about it.

A very interesting strategy game. Creeper world does not jazz you up with a tons of eye candy. But it does bring a very challenging and fun strategy game play.

After a month of seeing hundreds more of those boring Hidden Objects and match 3 games (which if you played one, you played enough, there all the same cookie cutter type games)

Creeper World hits the OSX platform almost under the radar. This truly is one not to miss. It's a fun unique challenge worth the time.
