How cool is this kid? He’s just 5 year old and he plays the drums like that. I don’t know if I’m only impressed cause I have no clue on how to play the drums, but he does a pretty good job, especially in the end where he really seems to be picking up the … Read more →

This is a story on how I went from less than 500 followers to over 1,000 followers in just 5 days at a rather low cost. There is a cost, it’s not free.

App Store is 18 months old now and with a total of 3 … Read more →
One of the most popular applications for iPhone and iPod Touch, Facebook, has just been updated to version 3.1 and now includes the long awaited Push Notifications.
