Pac-man iPhone 4 wallpaper takes the cake.

Pac-man iPhone 4 wallpaper takes the cake.

One small feature (if you could call it that) introduced with iPhone 4 and iOS 4 was user changeable backgrounds on the main icon screen. Obviously, solid colors or simple background work best. While I’ve understandably seen some truly atrocious user-created attempts at design, this Pac-man wallpaper is easily one of the geekiest and coolest wallpapers for any iPhone 4/iOS 4 user.

Google gets a face lift.  Adds Bing-like customizable backgrounds.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Some may prefer the stark white Google page we’ve all come to know (and some of us love).

I personally feel this should have been something standard on the iPhone, I mean, with all this device is meant to do, I just don’t understand why it wasn’t already given to us. 4.0 is a long way off,...

Ambient noise a thing of the past thanks to Yurbuds [Review]

Ambient noise a thing of the past thanks to Yurbuds [Review]

Ever wish you could get some of the background noise blocking characteristics of expensive in-ear headphones without shelling out the top of the line price? One word: “Yurbuds”. At first, I thought they were a tad gimmicky — slipping what are basically rubber/synthetic sleeves over your current ear buds and all of a sudden gaining sonic qualities often lost to the nuances of everyday life that invade your music listening experience. But I was surprised,...
