Apple apps you can't live without

Since a good friend of mine did all the work on the iPhone apps, why reinvent the wheel?  Besides, he's done an excellent job of capturing the must have apps if you're an iPhone user, and it saves me time for another post.  A sure win for me.  Thanks BigBizKits.

Fallon does Sheen

I have to share this clip from a buddy of mine.  Jimmy Fallon does impressions well so no surprise Charlie Sheen was in line to be the next victim.  Good stuff.

Google Reader - Play

Google Reader - Play

Google has unleashed a new way to read your news feeds with Google Reader Play. Similar to some mobile device readers like Pulse, you navigate through your news feeds visually like a slide show.

Play comes with a very minimalist toolbar at the bottom where different settings are available to experiment with, my favorite of which is "Magic Layout". You can choose to hide the article thumbnails, what streams pull from your feeds and if you're really adventurous, turn on slide show to let Play do the hard stuff, like clicking next.

As with most readers you can expand the full article or jump to the full story. Also retained are the Star, Like and Share buttons from Google Reader, center toolbar. With the thumbnails, you can easily scroll to the next article of interest and click to bring it up in the main window.

All in all, a nice change to the typical day of reading RSS Feeds but it may not be for everyone.
