Submitted by Selwyn Polit on Fri, 01/06/2012 - 12:12pm

I downloaded a Air Penguin from gamevil.com to my android tablet the other day which Noah my 4-year old played with and I suddenly got some emails thanking me for buying from GAMEVIL USA and letting me know that this in-app purchase cannot be refunded.The amount? $49. What a rip off. Several more emails arrived for a total of $55. Is that game evil or what?

Review of Drupal 7 Fields/CCK

Webrunner - make desktop apps instantly from the web

Submitted by Selwyn Polit on Sat, 10/15/2011 - 4:01pm

There is this super cool add-on that lets you create apps for your desktop. It is called Webrunner (from Salsita Software) It is a replacement for an app I loved dearly called Prism.  I use it with a gubb.net app for my to-do list, a google calendar app, a google docs app.  I even tried a gmail app but I prefer Thunderbird.  Check out how to do it at http://lifehacker.com/5823857/webrunner-turns-webapps-into-desktop-apps
