9 awesome iPhone apps

Posted on September 14, 2015 by SGVAUG BlogMaster

Zach Epstein, over on BGR, has a bad habit of posting lists of cool iPhone/iPad(/iPod Touch)(/Apple Watch) apps that are temporarily free.

Here’s the fine print:

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now – obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get”, it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

Here’s the link to today’s apps:

Apple Event Follow-Up

Posted on September 11, 2015 by SGVAUG BlogMaster

David Sparks, over at MacSparky, started out the morning thusly:

I’ve been thinking about the new Apple announcements at this week’s event and have a few random thoughts.

A couple of my favorites:

  • Lots of people are going to attack Apple for making a stylus. I disagree. A 13″ tablet is a much different animal than a phone and something that big can definitely use a stylus.

  • I had no idea watches with bands that go around twice are a “thing”. My daughter has subsequently set me right on that account.

PYBT: RANDOM THOUGHTS FOLLOWING THE APPLE EVENT for the whole list.
