Déjà vu: 'SimCity' for Mac struggles with day-one issues (update)

SimCity City Hall Protest

In June, Electronic Arts made a "tough decision" to postpone the release of 'SimCity' for Mac until August, but it appears that the two-month delay might not have been enough. Today, on the day of release, the game's forums are already crawling with users experiencing a variety of issues with the software — issues wholly unlike the server woes that plagued the Windows original. ...

Bang With Friends returns to iOS as the modestly named Down

bang with friends

Bang With Friends has finally returned to Apple's App Store after being removed in May, but it's doing so on much more modest terms than it came in on. The hookup app, which anonymously connects people through Facebook, is changing its name exclusively on iOS to the more ambiguous "Down," likely referring to the primary action that users do on it: press a big, red button that reads "down to bang" to signify which friends they're interested in. Bang With Friends has also reworked that button to simply read "I'm down" on iOS, leaving what users choose to do when connecting through the newly desexualized app up to their own imagination.

Using Sintra foamboard and a Raspberry Pi, Leake has successfully created a...

Parallels Access puts Mac and PC apps on your iPad for $79.99

Parallels Access EMBARGO

Parallels is best known for its virtualization software that lets Mac owners seamlessly run Microsoft's Windows OS. But today the company is taking up another mission: it's attempting to bring desktop apps to the iPad in a way that's intuitive and actually useful for consumers. Many have tried and failed; dozens of iOS applications already allow users to remotely control a PC or Mac with Apple's tablet. But no clear favorite has emerged....

Movie studio on your face: Givit's iPhone app lets you edit video shot on Google Glass

Photo

Video app startup Givit believes Google Glass could end up being the next Flip camera, but without the descent into irrelevance. "People loved Flip because it was so easy to use," says Greg Kostello, the company's founder and CEO. "Glass is just as easy as Flip, just as fun — more fun really." Which is why Givit has built a simplistic Google Glass app that allows users to push video shot on the experimental device into the company's iPhone...
