Jetpack Joyride is an arcade running (or in this case, flying) game similar to the likes of Temple Run. The hero of the game, Barry Steakfries, is propelled by tapping on the screen once or several times depending on how high you want him to go. With game controls this simple, it’s hard not to play over and over again. The object of the game is to steer your way through a laboratory riding a jetpack, making sure to avoid getting zapped by electric rods while collecting coins and tokens along the way....

And if you thought Steve Jobs’ passing would make the company go down, think again: the only way seems to be up. The first-quarter figures Apple posted today have every reason to make Tim Cook one very happy CEO. He has made no secret of it in the press release. Here’s the big picture: for the quarter ending on December 31, last year, the revenue of $46.33 billion, profits of $13....

Mac OS 10.11 is El Capitan Continuing with Apple’s recent naming tradition, Mac OS X has location-based names rather than cats. El Capitan is a rock formation in Yosemite National park. Rather than the major changes in previous operating system announcements, MacOS 10.11 features more evolutionary changes. The update is free and should be available in the Fall. Any system that runs Yosemite can run El Capitan, according to Apple....

The Week Before: Eat Down the Fridge Right about now, you need to start emptying your fridge. The more you can cook in advance, the less work you’ll have to do on the big day. Now’s the time to eat what you’ve got in the fridge and pitch the stuff that’s expired. I like doing this because it also makes sure that we have what we need. The Outdoor Grill That grill is designed to cook food after all....

Here’s what happened to me: And then I didn’t. And then a week later, they were like, “Hey, man, we’re all set with the 25 pounds of organic flour and case of Clorox wipes you didn’t say you didn’t want. Should be there tomorrow!” And I was like, “Ohhhh noooo.” A few days later, I got an email confirming that yes, they were successful and they’d be refunding me the full amount....

Note: This article was originally written while using Android 4.1 Jellybean. If you’re using a modern version of Android these steps will vary. While version 6 of Maps had a direct option for creating an offline cache, the method now used is more of an Easter Egg than an official feature, but it works none the less. To use it open the Maps application on your Android device and then select the area you would like to cache....

We detailed APFS earlier this year during our prep for the upgrade to iOS 10.3. Unlike iOS though, macOS is a more complex creature; due partly to its need to support third-party applications that are not as curated and carefully managed as those found in the app store on iOS. The desktop is more exposed, too, with a file manager and more free range to roam, unlike iOS where there are strict guidelines for app developers and behaviors for end users....

Yahoo Mail Improvements According to Jeffery Bonforte, SVP of Communication Products at Yahoo, the changes were made to celebrate the 16th birthday of the email service. From the post on the company’s recently acquired Tumblr blog: It’s also interesting to note that if you’re a current Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber, you’ll continue to get an ad-free email for $19.99 / year. But for new subscribers, if you want its newly renamed “Yahoo Ad Free Mail,” it will set you back $49....

Photo services are difficult, too. Google is giving away almost endless amounts of storage through its Google Photos app. Also, even though Microsoft’s OneDrive storage policy received some heat, it’s still an excellent way to save photos automatically from any mobile platform. Duplicating services in established markets these days is a risky business. For Dropbox, the uptake just wasn’t there and is why the company decided to discontinue both services....

Dolphin Browser Dolphin Browser has been a go-to browser for early Android users. It provides unique features such as gesture commands and Sonar (a Siri-like feature). This browser also uses sidebars, and has a few add-ons available in the Play Store. Opera Mini Compared to its full version, Opera Mini’s focus is on speed and data compression, which is a great way to save on data charges for users who have a monthly 3G cap....

CDs, Blu-ray, or DVDs Cable TV Thumb Drives With the availability of so much space in the cloud, it’s really not necessary to carry around a USB flash drive anymore. Not to mention, they get lost or stolen, and if you use say, Office 365, your documents are available anywhere via OneDrive. Of course, if we don’t advise storing sensitive files in the cloud — that included embarrassing pictures! Desktop Computer Back in the day, everyone had a big bulky desktop computer and CRT monitor on a desk in their home....

Funny WiFi addresses [sic] are the new funny answering machine messages. You all remember when answering machines came out, right? Or at least you’ve seen this episode of Seinfeld? In an era when no one uses the phone anymore (except telemarketers and Robo callers), the wireless network SSID is where you can share your punnery with random neighbors and passers-by. The Reddit thread led to some absolute gems which I’m pretty sure you can steal for your own amusement....

The screenshot below is the good ole’ Google Reader layout. It doesn’t have any fancy bells and whistles, but it sure does get the job done. There are a ton of options and it lets you quickly sort through and read your subscriptions, but where is the fun in that? Here is where Google Reader’s “Play” comes in. It is a jet black background with auto-sized RSS feed content over the middle....
