Given my job at iMore, I did what any of you would expect me to do ? I loaded up my iPhone with all the interesting travel apps I could find, all the ones I thought would help me explore more, all the ones that would help me make the most of my time in London and Paris. Guess what? I ended up not using any of them. What I ended up using was an app I'd had installed on my iPhone for years... Foursquare.</p> <p>I'll preface this by saying I've never really used Foursquare locally unless it was for check-in specials or I had a specific reason, like holding myself accountable to go to the gym three times a week. I've just never seen the point in checking in to random places that I visit regularly. When I got overseas, my mentality <em>completely</em> changed.</p> <p>The first time I opened Foursquare on our vacation was our first night in London. Our flight was delayed three hours and we hadn't eaten since we left Chicago. Nothing on the room service menu looked appealing so I turned to my iPhone. I opened my travel folder and started browsing the apps I'd downloaded before we left. To my dismay, nothing really looked like it'd help me find something relatively close to our hotel that served a low key menu. And to figure that out, I'd most likely have to search them on <em>another</em> app like Yelp! anyways.</p> <p><img src="http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/01/foursquare_business_detail_iphone_screens.jpg?itok=VFHdKE2O" width="1240" height="688" alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" /></p> <p>Then I remembered Foursquare and fired it up. In a matter of seconds I was presented with a huge list of pubs and restaurants all within a mile of our hotel. Not only could I see locations, but I could see tips people had left as well as the menu and price range. Excellent. We were on our way in just a matter of minutes to a pub we had picked out.</p> <p>After dinner we figured we'd head out and explore a little of London before retiring for the night. Again I found myself turning to Foursquare to see what was around us. The London Eye was right around the corner so that's where we went. From there we decided to head to some other sights across town. Again, I could simply search something in Foursquare and choose between both Google Maps and Apple Maps for directions. In our case, it was Google Maps due to the excellent transit directions for navigating the London Underground. In a matter of seconds we were on our way.</p> <p><img src="http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/01/foursquare_screens_iphone_travel_editorial.jpg?itok=8cPRul_E" width="1240" height="688" alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" /></p> <p>During our trip I also found myself <em>wanting</em> to check in places, so we both did. This served two purposes for us. The first was that we had a digital diary of all the places we went during our trip that we could look back at anytime we'd like. The second was that my girlfriend and I both have very worrisome parents. Since our check-ins posted right to our Twitter and Facebook feeds instantly, they knew where we were at all times. It was also fun for them to follow along with our trip and view photos of all the places we were before we even uploaded any.</p> <p>The most interesting thing I found about Foursquare while abroad was how many of the things we saw that were completely off the beaten path. In London those places consisted of pubs that locals recommended and coffee shops that weren't Starbucks. We even found tips on what vendors to check out at the local Borough Market (which we probably wouldn't have found without Foursquare anyways). Not to mention the money we saved with check-in specials at local businesses. In Paris we found lots of cafes and bakeries from tips left on Foursquare that we never would have stumbled upon otherwise. Neither of us speak very good French so being able to read tips in English saved us a lot of time.</p> <p><img src="http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/01/foursquare_tips_directions_iphone_screens.jpg?itok=s8UAHk4C" width="1240" height="688" alt="" class="image-large aligncenter" /></p> <p>To me these are things that I just didn't get from specialized travel apps. We know what Big Ben is and how to search for the London Eye on Google. What I want is an experience that's different from the next person that went to London on vacation. Foursquare gave us that. The difference is that most of those apps can't serve up vast amounts of crowd sourced data that's <em>always</em> current. I now realize why so many check-in apps are just throwing their hands up and pulling from Foursquare instead. You just can't beat it.</p> <p>Starting now I'm going to change my attitude about how I use Foursquare. It was the feedback and input from European locals that made our visit to London and Paris a cultural experience that didn't consist of staring at monuments and buildings right next to other tourists. When I know a Chicago restaurant is worth checking out or that a museum offers free admission after a certain time, I'm going to make it a point to leave those tips for others to discover.</p> <p>And next time I go on vacation, Foursquare will be the only guide book in my pocket.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-22519"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/35e880da/sc/10/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imore.com%2Fwhy-foursquare-better-travel-guide-any-book-or-app-you-could-ever-buy&t=Why+you+should+delete+every+travel+app+from+your+iPhone+and+just+use+Foursquare" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imore.com%2Fwhy-foursquare-better-travel-guide-any-book-or-app-you-could-ever-buy&t=Why+you+should+delete+every+travel+app+from+your+iPhone+and+just+use+Foursquare" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imore.com%2Fwhy-foursquare-better-travel-guide-any-book-or-app-you-could-ever-buy&t=Why+you+should+delete+every+travel+app+from+your+iPhone+and+just+use+Foursquare" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imore.com%2Fwhy-foursquare-better-travel-guide-any-book-or-app-you-could-ever-buy&t=Why+you+should+delete+every+travel+app+from+your+iPhone+and+just+use+Foursquare" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imore.com%2Fwhy-foursquare-better-travel-guide-any-book-or-app-you-could-ever-buy&t=Why+you+should+delete+every+travel+app+from+your+iPhone+and+just+use+Foursquare" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/sc/10/rc/1/rc.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/sc/10/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/sc/10/rc/2/rc.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/sc/10/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/sc/10/rc/3/rc.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/sc/10/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/186528856452/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/35e880da/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~4/6rJJ1w5lRJ8" height="1" width="1"/><p>Source: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~3/6rJJ1w5lRJ8/story01.htm">http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~3/6rJJ1w5lRJ8/story01.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://money.30kd.org/the-matters-you-ought-to-know-about-baby-sitter-balance/">MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY</a> <a href="http://www.ipublishnews.com/your-infant-with-baby-sitter-balance">METHODE ELECTRONICS</a> <a href="http://money.joinspark.com/the-warmth-and-relaxation-of-a-baby-sitter-balance/">MENTOR GRAPHICS</a> <a href="http://money.bjgoldberg.com/the-things-that-you-ought-to-know-about-baby-sitter-balance/">MCAFEE</a> </p>everheartz15http://www.blogger.com/profile/12644633362855124366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491185971488563153.post-88056286267379345702014-01-16T00:00:00.001-08:002014-01-16T00:00:15.344-08:00Out of Bounds, Off the Hook: The Season?s Best Backcountry Ski Gear Tested<div class="rss_thumbnail"><img src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2014/01/skiing-ft.jpg" alt="Out of Bounds, Off the Hook: The Season’s Best Backcountry Ski Gear Tested" /></div>Does your next trip up the mountain involve wandering beyond the ropes?

The online group had previously tweeted out screenshots of emails purportedly from Microsoft staffers. As The Verge notes, those published screenshots “mainly discuss[ed] the latest compromises of several Microsoft-owned Twitter accounts.” Included among the published screenshots was an email from Steve Clayton to Frank Shaw. Luckily for the two their disclosed dialogue was pedestrian. It is unclear the extent of the security breach, and if emails were taken from the accounts or in other ways stored that could prove embarrassing for Microsoft. To have your social accounts’ security snapped is par for the course in our current age. To have your email systems broken into is another game, especially if you are the company that built the system, and if you’re selling it to companies around the world. Microsoft provided a statement to The Verge stating that a “social engineering cyberattack method known as phishing resulted in a small number of Microsoft employee social media and email accounts being impacted” in the incident. The accounts in question have been “reset” according to the company. No customer information was compromised, it claims. That’s fine, but what the SEA could have found inside the inboxes of key Microsoft employees could be damaging, or embarrassing, or both. That’s not to say that the employees in question are more salacious than average, but more that we all speak more freely when in private than public. If the SEA delved during its incursion, it might have uncovered a number of internal plans and methods. Should those leak to the media, Microsoft could lose control of its own news cycles for some time to come.

Yes, you do run and jump around, and you also shoot at stuff. But the game has much, much more going for it.<br /> <br /> Basically, as you run, jump and shoot, you gain experience points and level up. Hitting <strong>Space</strong> brings you into an interface where you can convert your experience points into Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Dexterity points. Once you've "specialized" your points, you then get to pick what exact skills you'd like to enhance in each field. For example, you could use your dexterity to enhance your weapons or increase your swiftness.<br /> <br /> The game is played in a huge maze; you go through rooms using doors, and there's a large map. As the name implies, there are quests you can take, too. For example, one quest had me searching all over the place for ten balloons.<br /> <br /> The bottom line is that this is a surprisingly deep game that just might ensnare you for a good bit longer than you intended to play.

But never mind the numbers, look at the pretty graph!<br /> <br /> If you've ever read <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html">The Hacker's Diet</a>, this graph should be instantly recognizable. Each point shows the weight for a given day, while the trend line lets you see if you're gaining or losing weight.<br /> <br /> When I use my "main" PC, I have a homebrew solution for creating and maintaining this graph. But I've had to find a temporary solution for Android, and <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cachapa.libra">Libra</a> is it.<br /> <br /> It's a beautifully simple app, very true to the spirit of The Hacker's Diet. You can create a shortcut on your homescreen that brings you right into the data entry screen, so you just tap the shortcut every morning, feed in your weight for the day and hit OK, and then you get to see your progress (or lack thereof) on the graph.<br /> <br /> The app remembers the previous day's weigh-in, which makes it easy to enter today's weight (as they're usually not too different). The graph is zoomable and scrollable, and most importantly, you can export the data to CSV so you're not locked into the app.<br /> <br /> If you ever need to track your weight using an Android device for any period of time, Libra is one excellent solution.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/03/31/libra-for-android-helps-you-track-your-weight-using-the-hackers/">Libra for Android helps you track your weight using The Hacker's Diet system</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:30:00 EST.

Both Apple and Google frown upon apps that contain <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/01/19/kongregate-arcade-pulled-from-the-android-market-for-violating-terms/">market-like functionality</a>, and someone at Apple probably thought that iCab's JavaScript modules looked like a bit too much like discrete apps.<br /> <br /> Alexander Clauss, iCab's developer, has rather a lot to say on the matter. "Maybe if I would have called the modules 'smart bookmarks' and would have made installing them much more complicated, Apple would have never asked to remove the ability to download them from the internet. The great user experience of installing modules has probably created a suspicion that these modules are more than just a piece of JavaScript code. From a pure technical point of view, if Apple does not allow to download modules (JavaScript code), Apple would also have to disallow to load web pages in general, because these do also contain JavaScript code."<br /> <br /> In conclusion, to circumvent Apple's draconian decree, iCab Mobile now simply comes bundled with some 20 JavaScript modules. The ability to download modules made by third-party developers has been disabled, however -- but even then, Clauss says that you can simply contact him and ask for your module to be bundled with the next version of iCab.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8">Download iCab Mobile for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch</a> ($1.99)<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2011/04/08/apple-orders-icab-ios-browser-to-cripple-javascript-modules/">Apple orders iCab iOS browser to cripple JavaScript modules</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://downloadsquad.switched.com">Download Squad</a> on Fri, 08 Apr 2011 07:00:00 EST.

That's all you get in <a href="http://www.kongregate.com/games/k2xl/boomshine">Boomshine</a>.<br /> <br /> That single click triggers a chain reaction; circles start exploding, and other circles colliding with the shockwaves explode as well, creating their own shockwaves, which then catch other circles.<br /> <br /> It's been done before, yes, but this one is a great iteration. The soundtrack is mellow, with lots of piano and some nice percussion (not electronic - it sounds like drums). <br /> <br /> At each level you need to make a certain number of circles explode to go on to the next level. I got up to level 12, where you get 60 circles and need to make 55 of them explode. And then I kept trying and trying, but simply couldn't get it. I did get to 54 circles a couple of times, but as they say, you don't get points for trying.<br /> <br /> There's no time limit, so you can carefully study the pattern of motion and place your click at the exact right place to create the best chain reaction. I've found that clicking near the middle of the screen works quite well, especially if the balls are slowly moving in that direction. By the time the first shockwave dies off, the oncoming balls usually hit it and the chain reaction continues.<br /> <br /> What level did you reach?
