Would you call yourself a music connoisseur? I’ve found that as each year goes by, I’m constantly searching for more and more music. Perhaps that’s the reason I stopped listening to “terrestrial” radio several years ago. The same 50-60 songs get all of the airtime, making each radio station nothing but a cesspool of boredom.

The app in question is Stanza, a popular ebook app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Until the...

After a rocky start 1-1/2 years, Apple has finally started coming around to answering the a few of the criticisms concerning the App Store. As pretty much everyone knows, Apple acts as a gatekeeper to the iPhone app platform. It’s both a blessing and a curse.
