Pity the poor IT department.
Seriously. I feel for the IT departments out there, especially in this economic climate. It’s hard to think of another department within a company that’s been dealt more changes over the years than IT. It’s no longer just a Windows PC and an e-mail account for every employee. Today, IT is […]

| Podcast lovers, here’s some good news for you. MobileCast, a homebrew application for the iPhone that first came out during the firmware 1.1.4 days, has finally made it to firmware 2.x.
This new MobileCast still serves the same function - allowing users to search for and download podcasts - while sporting a slightly new look. You can check out a few screenshots of the app below.
MobileCast v3.0 b1 reportedly has some crash-causing glitches, but it seems that they don’t really occur as long as you’re patient and don’t try to do too many things at one time, like say continually abusing the search function while downloading a podcast in the background, for instance. The app’s available for free on Cydia. Related articles: |

TransGaming has announced that it will be bringing D3Publisher’s hit puzzle-slash-RPG title Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (Xbox 360, PSP, PS3, DS, Wii, PC, Mobile) to the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. It’s a pretty natural fit, considering the iPhone and iPod Touch’s touchscreen features. The game’s RPG elements are still there so it may turn out to be a rather, er, puzzling game for those who have no idea what “RPG” means, but the accessible puzzle aspect should balance that out. The iPhone and iPod Touch version of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords has yet to be priced, but the announcement mentioned that it’s all set to become available on the iTunes App Store by this Fall.
