The immensely popular game has just received an update on both  iOS  and  Android , which brings to the game some new, much-needed features such as social sharing, comments and an undo button.

Move any Windows program to another hard drive, without breaking the program. If your primary hard drive is full, and what you’ve put on there is software, SymMover is what you’re looking for. Many people add a second hard drive to their computer when the first one fills up. Moving files – such as music, videos or photos – is a simple matter. Moving software, at least on a  Windows  system, isn’t. Any attempt to manually move the folder containing the software will almost certainly result in software that no longer works. SymMover solves this problem by moving the software, then using  symbolic links  to fool Windows into thinking your software is still located where it should be. And it’s not just for software – you can change the actual location of  any folder  without Windows noticing, making this a great tool for saving space on your drive. SymMover only works on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows XP and 8 users are out of luck, at least for ...

A while ago I told you about  MyPermissions , a simple yet useful website that helps you clean up multiple app permissions in just a few minutes.

Notification Control, in its turn, helps you get rid of pesky email notifications from multiple services, and its sibling, Bliss Control, helps you control and change settings on multiple services, all from one place. What does this mean? Let’s say you got home today,...

It’s amazing how even the most organised individuals, that is those who regularly back up documents and always plan ahead for future engagements, can occasionally find themselves up that notorious creek without a paddle. Take for instance when someone loses their phone. Not enough people have prepared themselves for this. The best applications to help you find or wipe your phone need to be installed in advance. There is at least one notable exception, which could well save your phone. Plan B is the application to install when your phone is already missing. However, if you’re really going to get prepared for that lost phone scenario you might like to install a few other great applications too. Plan B Plan B  is the perfect application to use when your phone is already missing and you realise you never installed any of the nifty apps which would have helped you find your phone. You can install it remotely by going to the Android market and it will use GPS or an SMS to find...

One of the most popular programs for compressing and decompressing files is WinZip. It has been around since I first started using computers, and I can still remember the first time I downloaded something that was “zipped” and trying to figure out what the heck I was supposed to do to actually use the file. Of course, times have changed, and pretty much everyone knows how to use some type of file decompression program to get access to the files tucked inside. However, looking at zipped files on the iPhone, things are not always so easy. However, WinZip recently launched an iOs application that is designed to make viewing the contents of a compressed file so much easier. It takes what used to be a cumbersome process and makes it so easy that anyone can do it. If you have been looking for a way to view the contents of compressed files while on the go, the WinZip application will be perfect for you. Set Up Seeing as this is an iPhone application, you will need to head over to the...
