Review: Pronto and Peel

By ⋅ February 24, 2016 ⋅ Post a comment

With all the devices we have for our televisions, we become inundated with remotes. Our televisions, blu-ray/dvd players, cable boxes, AppleTVs, Rokus, etc. all come with remote controls to interface with each device.

iSwifter – Flash for the iPad

By ⋅ March 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve had an iPad since the day it came out, and like many others, I lament the lack of Flash on it.
