Erin at Unclutterer: When your environment is cluttered, the chaos restricts your ability to focus. The clutter also limits your brain’s ability to process information. Clutter makes you distracted and unable to process information as well as you do in an uncluttered, organized, and serene environment. The clutter competes for your attention in the same [...]

If you’re looking for a Google Reader client for iPhone or iPad instead of using Google’s web interface, the consensus seems to be that Reeder is the best choice.

Andrew Janjigian: The next few times I had leftover pizza with which to experiment, I played around with the method to make sure I understood the technique. I knew that the moisture- and heat-trapping cover was essential, but wasn’t sure about the heating method itself. I tried placing the slices onto a preheated griddle, but [...]

Sendoid (previously called iSendr) is a cross-platform application using Adobe Air (unfortunately) that lets you share files of unlimited size, generating a private URL that you can then give to the other party to download from.

I’m a nut about text editing apps on my iPad, and right now I’ve settled on Elements (iTunes link) as my preferred app. I like it because it’s a universal app that works on both iPad and iPhone, it seamlessly synchronizes text files using DropBox, and it has a Markdown preview function so I can [...]

An instant classic Download Squad post from Lee Mathews: Now, I’m not questioning how these applications perform, their price tag, or anything of any real, practical concern. Some of these might be quality downloads. That said, let’s have some fun. Here are 10 application names that warrant reconsideration. Please note: I’ve moved my active blogging [...]

David Sparks: Katie and I are joined by Mac mad scientist, Brett Terpstra, and cover finding files on your Mac along with some advice about tagging and file naming conventions. I haven’t even listened to the episode yet, but I can tell you that this is going to be worthwhile. David calls Brett a “Mac [...]

Jesus Diaz: Your new iPad—and old too, with iOS 4.3—has a new hidden feature that Apple doesn’t want you to know about: Extra multi-touch gestures that completely changes the iPad experience—for the best. For example: With a simple hand swipe, to the left or right, you will be able to navigate through running applications. Once [...]
