Following on from my post last week about the role of patron at Kickstarter, NPR has run a piece called, "When A Kickstarter Campaign Fails, Does Anyone Get The Money Back?" This appears to have nudged Kickstarter into responding with a blog post, "Accountability on Kickstarter." I suggest that you read or listen to NPR's show before reading Kickstarter's reply but
Plants vs. Zombies was one of the first Free App of the Day games in the UK's Amazon Appstore but if I'd known about it beforehand, I would have paid the full price as it's a lot of fun and simple to play.

Many of us have a telescope that we use as a hobby to check out the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and other close-by locations. Not all all of us are viewing far-off nebulae. All
It seems the folks over at FeedBlitz are using scare tactics to try and get people to abandon FeedBurner, and switch to their service.

Many of the rumors have surrounded a 10 inch version of the tablet to complement the current 7 inch, but now c|net is
Lately, I've become a bit nostalgic for some aspects of what computers were like in the early days of the internet. Remember when PCs used to come with one, simple, solitaire game installed?
