Last week, Yahoo added a new search tab Yahoo! App Search to its search interface that will allow you to search specifically for iPhone or Android apps. You can type your search query just as I have done in the screenshots below to retrieve relevant search results.  Besides using keywords to search for your preferred type of apps, the site also includes trending apps, daily personalized app recommendations, related apps to the one you’ve searched for, and direct links to the iPhone App Store and Android Marketplace for speedy downloading. At first look, it does look rather useful.  I am definitely bookmarking this one for myself :) Search results with two keywords "Photoeffects" and "Free" Clicking on an app link brings you to a page like this, where you will see details of the app, Yahoo user reviews (if any) and links to related apps If you click on the "Free" yellow button as in previous screenshot, you will be brought to this pa...

This morning, I came across a RSS feed of a podcast series which I was interested to subscribe to watch on my Apple devices. After googling a few sites, I finally managed to figure how it is done.  It is a simple 2 steps process. First, start up iTunes and click the "Advanced" menu item. A "Subscribe to podcast" dialog box will pop up and you just to copy and paste the RSS feeds of the podcast you are interested in the textbox as shown. After that, you will see the podcast automatically appear in the podcast window as shown in the last screenshot here. And if you are wondering where to get a list of podcast topics to subscribe to, here are some useful links: http://www.podcast.com/ http://www.ipodder.org/directory/4/podcasts

I am a real sucker for iPhone photography apps, and my craze for such apps is attested by the screenshot of the sheer number of photography apps I have installed on my phone. One of my favourite photography apps is definitely moreBeaute2 . What this simple-to-use app does is that it will take an existing photo you have taken, with all the pimples and panda eyes etc and with just one simple button, it will instantly transform the original photo to make you look younger and better-looking.  And the best part? moreBeaute2 is FREE! You can see the beauty of this app with the "before" and "after" photos of myself as shown below. Try it! The pic on the left is how I really look like, old and tired.  After moreBeaute2's touch-up, I suddenly looked much more perky and refreshed.  Wow, if only real life can be like that, haha. :p

According to the statistics I captured on Flickr's page just now , iPhone is one of the most popular digital cameras that are used to capture and upload photos. It trails just behind the most popular camera, the Nikon D90 and if you just look at the figures for camera-phones alone, the Apple iPhone4 heads the list with iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS below it. So if you are an iPhone user like me, it is highly likely that you take photos with it quite often, no? :) Today I would like to share with you a great and easy-to-use application that I often use to caption my photos - LabelBox . LabelBox is very useful for those instances where you capture a photo and want to quickly and easily tag an attractive and eye-catching caption on the picture. For example, I took this photo of my son with the Angry Bird Pig we bought at the Ghim Moh Market recently, and within a minute, I managed to tag it with two separate labels very quickly and conveniently with LabelBox like this: Using ...
