Run Roo Run HD is a platformer game where you, a kangaroo, must avoid obstacles by jumping, swinging, riding clouds, and launching from cannons. Each level is a single screen, not scrolling.
This is a great little game, but the main levels are not very challenging. It took me less than an hour to complete the main levels in all 20 chapters. The extreme levels, however, are very difficult – some even too difficult, in my opinion. Even though I didn’t feel particularly challenged, I enjoyed playing the game – I was able to casually play while watching an episode of Battlestar Galactica!

If you have found yourself pressing the snooze button too many times on your iPhone in the morning, then here are 10 alarm tones which will ensure you get up right away.
1) Jaws Theme. Not sure if this is actually the scariest sound but it will defiantly make me decide pretty fast to get ready for work.
2) Halloween theme song.
3) Big Bang Theory. Probably the scariest of them all. Howard’s Mom yes this brings back memories for me.
4) The Grudge. I didn’t actually find this sound particularly scary but it seemed to be on everyone else’s most frightening so I figured I might be in the minority. You take a listen and let me know what you think.
5) Insidious theme. This is one horror film that I didn’t even see but after the music I may wait a bit till I try it out. The music is creepy enough to make sure that I wake up before my alarm.
6) Sonic Drowning theme. If this does not make you wake up then you never played Sonic. I actually had to turn it off before the end.
7) Scream of the red fox. You would never expect an animal to have such a unusual scream but it is better used in a horror film. Sounding this scary its a shock these animals ever mate.
8 ) Saw theme with talking.
9) Terminator 2 Theme. Probably one of the most cool yet perturbing sounds. It fills me with both inspiration and trepidation.
10) Jokers Laugh, The Dark Knight
Im sure that you could tell me many really scary themes and songs which I missed. Interestingly I did try the Friday the 13th theme three times but without the scary man in the mask following you I found the music itself most relaxing so I left it out. If you want to know how you can sample music from YouTube [sample alarm sounds from youtube]
These alarm tones not do it for you? Tell us which sound would get you up and ready right away in the comments below.

Ever wondered whether or not you can text message multiple photos at once? The answer is yes. Sending them individually is annoying and time consuming. And why when your iPhone easily allows you to send multiple photos at once? This will not only work for text messaging but for e-mailing photos as well.
Although you can send multiple images at once there is still a few caveats that we’ve found. The first being that you can only send a certain number at once. In most instances, this seems to be five. It also may depend on the size of the photos you’re trying to send. You can also only send one video message at a time (for now anyways).
To text multiple images at once, follow these easy steps –
That’s it! All your photos will be sent to the recipient. They will receive them as separate messages but this method seems to be a lot easier than tapping each photo individually.

Today, while checking out the variety of iPhone case options available in the iLounge Pavilion at CES, I saw a display that caught my eye: iPhone 4 cases made from recycled bicycle tires. As a Portlander, I am legally obligated* to follow up on any product that is recycled or bike-related, so I went over and checked them out.
They are made by a company called Skech, and I actually got my hands on the Skech Trax case. This is a flip style case (like a steno pad, not like a book) with a nice soft interior and the exterior is made of the aforementioned used tires. This is cool because all the cases are a little different and have some cool texture to them.
I also liked that the inside material is available in a variety of colors, and the flap that covers the screen also includes a couple of card sleeves for business cards or ID and a credit card if you need to travel light. It has a hole for the camera, and the top is open for access to power or the headphone jack. There is a magnetic clasp to hold it shut the rest of the time, and the whole thing feels really well put together.
Be aware that it is not the most protectionary of cases, but it will keep your keys off the screen while your phone is in your bag, and look reasonably nice outside your bag too.
Skech makes a variety of other iPhone cases, but this one stood out and I wanted to show it to all of you.*There was an ordinance passed in 1998.**
**Yes, I am kidding.

The mainland China launch of the iPhone 4S hasn't gone as planned in Beijing, according to reports from Bloomberg, MIC Gadget and other sources.
When massive crowds at Apple's flagship store in the capital city began to cause crowding problems (and when Apple employees and Chinese security personnel realized that the vast majority of the queued would-be buyers were scalpers looking to purchase & then resell the in-demand phones), the store opening was delayed. Angry linewaiters began chanting for the store to open, eventually throwing eggs at the store facade.
Now the announcement has apparently been made: no more queuing, and no iPhone 4S sales at the Beijing flagship store today. Other stores in the capital and in Shanghai apparently had no such crowd control issues, and China Unicom sent text reminders to subscribers that they could order the iPhone 4S for free home delivery.

Lines outside the Apple store in Beijing’s Sanlitun district show no signs of shortening, causing frustration for the thousands of fans and scalpers desperate to get their hands on the iPhone 4S. Now some of that disappointment is turning to anger, with reports of fights breaking out between gangs of scalpers, and guess what, Beijing SWAT teams arrived. So, the Apple store employees later announced that the launch of iPhone 4S is cancelled at the Apple’s flagship store in Beijing, and all scalpers are pissed.Bloomberg notes that Apple's "main store in Beijing" (presumably the Sanlitun store) is currently being pelted with eggs by customers upset with the delayed opening.
Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s main store in Beijing was pelted with eggs from a crowd of about 500 people after it failed to open on time for the start of sales of the iPhone 4S.
Apple had advertised that the store would open at 7 a.m. At about 7:15 a.m., the crowd began chanting “Open the door!” and “Liars!” after a man with a bullhorn said the phone would not go on sale today, without giving an explanation. The man also declined to identify himself to a Bloomberg News reporter. The crowd chased away a man who tried to stop the egg throwing.
"Apple seems to be gobbling up everything they can," said Chad Leiker, a vice president with Kidder Mathews, a realty firm. "They are taking a ton of space."Apple has long been overflowing its main Cupertino campus, purchasing and leasing additional space surrounding the campus and elsewhere. The company's plans for its new major campus are intended to allow it to consolidate many of those space needs currently served by leased space into a single company-owned location. But with construction on the new campus yet to get underway, Apple will need to continue leasing new space over the next several years in order to handle its rapidly expanding workforce.

Permalink | Email this | CommentsAt CES 2012, we encountered the Invisible Keypad, an iPhone case that allows you to “feel” your keyboard. The screen protector part of the case has ridges strategically placed for the iPhone’s portrait keyboard. These ridges are positioned above and outside each key so that you must tap between them versus on them. The creators went with this design to be less obstructive to your screen when the keyboard is not in use.
We only played with a prototype of the case. The final version promises to be slimmer and more polished and is scheduled to release in the first half of the year.
