Exactly one year ago, I took a leap of faith and dropped $50 on a social network that had not even existed yet. At the time, App.net was trying to reach its funding goal of $500,000. Admittedly I was not one of the backers of the fundraiser. The

There are very few apps that I use on a day-to-day basis that I can firmly say are indispensable. As someone who relies on public transportation, being able to get accurate and timely information about what bus or train to take is really important to me. I never much cared
A couple of years ago, I made an honest attempt at exploring the world of Android. I purchased several devices, including a Nexus S, for what was supposed to be the pure experience. Needless to say, there were too many shortcomings in so many areas of the OS -- from
