The iTunes Festival is coming back in September 2012. We’re inviting more than 60 artists to perform 30 consecutive nights of brilliant live music at the Roundhouse in London. Be sure to check back—we’re adding new artists to the line-up on a regular basis. Every ticket to the iTunes Festival is free—you can apply to win tickets to any performance.

If you can’t make the gig, watch the shows live or view them afterwards for a limited time on your computer with iTunes, or on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the iTunes Festival app. To watch on your big screen, use Apple TV and click iTunes Festival from the main menu, or use Airplay to stream gigs wirelessly via the app.

The Coolest Thing on Earth: Looking Around Mars on Your Phone

As per the instructions of Joel Housman who first recommended this, you need to be on an iPhone or iPad, or maybe a tablet browser, for it to have its full effect. On an iPad or iPhone, you should open it in Safari, not a Twitter client's browser. Visit NBF and this post - then just click the link.

http://www.360cities.net/image/curiosity-rover-martian-solar-day-2#30.26,-8.03,61.5
or
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/08/the-coolest-thing-on-earth-looking-around-mars-on-your-phone/261173/#

If you move the phone in any direction, it acts as a window, and the view moves with it. If you look down, you see the rocks and gravel of Mars. If you point the phone up, you see the small sun and the planet's sour sky. If you look to the horizon and tilt your phone, you see the rocks and dirt close to you move faster than the furthest points; it feels like you're standing there. Just try it, even if you have to borrow someone's phone.

Fleksy is a state of the art text input system for touch screen devices.

It is set to revolutionize the way people think about text entry on mobile devices.

For the first time ever, blind, visually impaired, and sighted people are able to quickly and easily type text on touch screen phones and tablets.

“It felt like it was reading your mind. Absolutely brilliant.” - Mike May, blind Paralympic champion.

This free app gives you the full Fleksy typing experience.

Visually impaired users can also upgrade to the full version to email, copy, or message the text you enter.

How to use Fleksy

- To use Fleksy, tap once lightly where you think each letter is, then swipe right for space.

- To change the suggestion, swipe down.

- You can add punctuation by swiping right again after a space.

Fleksy has more functions for entering punctuation marks, typing custom words (such as names), and includes innovative ways to help you type easily.

Finally, if you are posting a review, please consider that Fleksy is optimized to be used by blind people. Some functionality is therefore going to seem unusual if you are a sighted user.

Happy Typing!

Ready, aim, squirt!

Using a water cannon mounted on a crane, players must adjust the height and angle of the cannon to fight fires, move obstacles, spin wheels and activate traps in this challenging water-physics based puzzler! But squirt carefully as you will run out of water and the less water you use, the more drops you earn!

Using some of the most realistic water physics seen on an iOS device yet, Sprinkle is a brain-teasing game that will have players straining to figure out each puzzle and obstacle.

Sprinkle features:

Amazing water physics – Some of the most realistic water physics ever seen on an iOS device make Sprinkle an exciting and addictive puzzler.

Brain-teasing puzzles – What starts as simply pointing and spraying to quench each fire becomes much more challenging through the 72 levels, as players must overcome the intricacies of each puzzle before time and water run out.

Blocks, boulders, and cogs oh my – Use the power of your water cannon to move blocks of ice and boulders, spin giant cogs, and depress traps inorder to reach and extinguish every last fire.

The inhabitants of Titan, a moon of Saturn, lived out their days peacefully in their straw hut homes – until space tourists from Earth crashed through Saturn’s rings, bringing a storm of flaming asteroids crashing down on the Titans. To combat the widespread fires threatening their homes, the Titans have built a massive water cannon. And they need you to man it!

You know Sudoku. You know Kakuro. Zengaku is the next level of brain twisting number crunching puzzle fun.

Zengaku has teased out the best elements of Sudoku and Kakuro to create a number puzzle game that we takes the number puzzle genre to the next level. Kakuro forces you to find sums within interesting patters similar to a crossword. Sudoku limits you to numbers 1 through 9 appearing only once in a row or column. Zengaku blends those concepts creating a logic/strategy puzzle that is fresh and new and fun. You might say its Kakuro and Sudoku remixed.

Zengaku's UI is top notch It gets out of your way and lets you solve the puzzle the way you want. We'd even go so far as to say it's almost Zen-like. The name, Zengaku, is actually from a japanese word that means: total, full amount, or sum according to some translations.

Give Zengaku a try you'll be done with Sudoku and Kakuro forever. Zengaku is the future. Start solving these great puzzles now.

The rules of Zengaku are very simple:

- The numbers 1 through 9 must appear exactly once in every column and in every row.
- Numbers in a column must sum to the number above them.
- Numbers in a row must sum to the number to their left.
- A circle joining any two squares indicates that the digits in those squares must be consecutive.
- Squares which are not joined by a circle must not have consecutive digits.

Zengaku Lite comes with the following features:

1. 8 unique puzzles to try. Three of our mini-puzzles, two jumbled mini puzzles, two easier full puzzles and one more challenging puzzle.
2. Zoomable game field to make entering digits easier. You can use a double tap or pinch gesture.
3. Ability to enter multiple notes into a cell to keep track of possible answers.
4. A check button to verify your answers whenever you're ready.
5. Puzzle progress is saved for each started puzzle.

Brush up on your math and logic skills, you'll need them! And when you're ready upgrade to the full Zengaku game easily using the Upgrade button on the main screen.
