Hole-Digging Calculator: Where You’d End Up If You Just Kept Digging
Remember the good old days? Those days when you would sit in the back garden, digging a giant hole? I do. I was digging to China. It's probably good that I never made it. After all, it would have been a tad hot in the molten parts of the earth, I think. I mean, I would have brought my sunglasses and ...
How To Create Your Own Lifelog & Augment Your Memories
About a month ago, Richard wrote about an app that would allow you to record one second of each day of your life and then put it all together into a short video so you could basically view a whole year of memories in about six minutes. When I read about that, I remember thinking it was one of the mo ...

8 Apps To Help You Survive The End Of The World [Infographic]
I guess we should live it up today since according to the Mayan calendar, this is our last full day alive on earth. One of our guest authors, Ben Warner, just wrote an article here on Bit Rebels about that yesterday, and it got me thinking about how I would spend my last day on earth if I had a choi ...
5 Apps For Kids That Will Buy You 5 Minutes Of Precious Time
I went to a picnic over the weekend with families who had kids of all different ages. Once the kids had burned off some energy on the playground and the conversation was just getting going amongst the adults, I observed a funny thing. Children of all ages were playing games and apps for kids on thei ...

88 Best iOS Apps For Mobile Learning [Infographic]
Do you ever stop to think about how you gathered information before the Internet? If you needed to find an answer about anything, what did you do to find it? I don't really remember, but I think we called people on the phone, asked our parents or looked it up in an encyclopedia. No wonder learning w ...

Data Consumption: What You Really Pay For [Infographic]
Today we are using more data than ever before. Our mobile devices are like high performance data funnels that constantly send and receive to whatever server we are connected to. What we used to call the digital highway has to be renamed something else entirely because a highway is just not complex e ...
Understoodit Classroom App: Press Red Button If You’re Confused
It’s early in the morning, and you’re sitting in class. You pulled an all-nighter yesterday, and the evening before you may or may not have been out partying. You’re not at peak performance, to say the least. And then the prof enters the room, and it’s all over. Confusion time.
While some univers ...
Mobile Content On Your Car Window
This is exactly what we need...one more thing to pull our eyes from the road. But, is this really any different from the child in the back-seat with their DVD player strapped to the back of the front-seat or the DSi case in their lap? As a confessed once-upon-a-time mini-van-driving mom with a brood ...
Leafsnap App: It Would Make Darwin Drool
Categorizing and classifying: these are the sorts of things that taxonomists are good at. While the rest of us may be able to sort our clothes by brand, our plant classification skills have really gone downhill in the last 100 years. Today, our hunting and gathering takes place in the grocery store, ...
7 Techy Little Nephew Tips: Social Media Advice From A Kid
About a month ago, we published an article called Social Media Advice From A Grandmother. It was about a photography project by Chacho Puebla which featured his great-aunt. His photographs were so well done, and they went viral. For about a week, they were everywhere online.
The grandmother's adv ...
iPhone Apps For Pets: A Frog, Lizard, Cat & Dog Play Games
We all know that everyone, regardless of age, can find something entertaining to do on an iPhone or iPad. Since i-gadgets are so intuitive, it's not really that surprising when we read about children who can download apps and play games on an iPhone before they can talk in complete sentences or tie ...
Apps For Apes: Even Orangutans Like Playing With iPads
By now, we all know that technology codes our minds and changes our OS. The best illustration I've ever seen of this is in the video from A Magazine Is Just A Broken iPad where a toddler intuitively tried to apply the same gestures to a magazine as she did to an iPad. Unfortunately, she learns the h ...
Casino iPhone Apps: A Festive Way To Spend Some Downtime
This is the time of year when more people than ever before will be traveling and taking time off from work.

Social Media Advice From A Grandma [9 Pics]
What's the best piece of advice you've ever gotten? I remember several years ago a much older friend of mine said to me, "Never take advice from anyone you wouldn't trade places with." Think about that one for just a minute. That was one of the most brilliant pieces of advice I've ever gotten. The w ...
Apple’s ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ Keynote: Some Mind Blowing Stats
I'm watching the Apple event online right now, like almost everyone I know. I have to admit, it was a little strange to see it in such a small place (they held it in the Apple home theater), and it was even more strange to see Tim Cook walk out on that stage instead of Steve Jobs. He didn't look the ...
