Ray Zone’s 3D Jungle Adventures (US$0.99) is native iPad comic book that took me back to when I was ten and my parents brought me to a flea market. There I picked up a ten year old copy of The House of Terror published by the now defunct St. John’s Publishing Company. It was in gloriously gory anaglyph 3D requiring the use of red-cyan glasses. The first page displayed a scary devil’s head that seemed like it was going to jump off the page and grab me, giving me nightmares for weeks.
Now in light of the current 3D craze, a new audience can experience this sort of dimensional schlock-fest in Jungle Adventure, a reprint of a 1953 Jay Disbrow comic. The story is as pulpy as it gets. Nianda, a jungle princess is captured by the evil Stang who wants to make a trade with the chief of the village for a big red ape. Jahka, who must be Tarzan’s twin brother, comes to the rescue and fights a drooling Sabre-toothed tiger to win her back, but no one told that to the big red ape.

How’s Steve Jobs’ campaign against Adobe (ADBE) Flash progressing? The bar chart at right offers one measure.
It comes from Mefeedia, a media search website that indexes video from a wide variety of sources — from CBS and ABC to YouTube and Hulu, some 30,000 sources in all.
From time to time Mefeedia analyzes its index to look for trends. One of the trends it’s tracking is how much of the video on the Web is encoded only in Flash and how much in H.264 and HTML5, the standards Apple (AAPL) is championing as alternatives.
So you want to date somebody, but you’ve had no luck with bars, clubs, or even flirty Facebook pokes. What’s a lonely heart to do? Try online dating, of course! And the only thing better than online dating is mobile online dating. Thanks to SpeedDate’s new app, you can now dive into online dating right from your iPad.
SpeedDate.com is an online “speed dating” site designed to connect you with compatible singles in your area. Singles can go on multiple live thre-minute online dates via instant messaging, video chat, or live audio.
Universal binaries? These apps don’t need no stinking universal binaries! That is, the following three apps are not tuned for iPads. A universal binary will switch to the "iPad version" of the app for that device. So you might have MobileStudio on your iPhone, but it also looks great on the iPad because they wrote code and added graphics to accommodate the larger screen size. But the apps I’ll list look great with just the 2x upscaling you can do with any iPhone app (like, say, Apple’s own Remote app, which is kinda lame on the iPad).
I’m by no means a power GTD user, but like a lot of you I am juggling different projects and need to find a way to organize them. When I was younger, I carried around a paper planner, but now I have an iPhone and an iPad in addition to my desktop Mac.
The iPad on its own makes an awesome replacement for a paper planner. Paired with the iPhone, it’s incredible. Any productivity developer for the iPad needs to have the following in mind.
It has to stand on its own as an effective program.
It has to work seamlessly with the iPhone, preferably with cloud syncing
It has to be affordable.
The available productivity apps that span both iPhone and iPad are usually lacking in one of the above areas. For Things, it’s price and the lack of cloud sync. You’re shelling out $30 for the iPhone and iPad products alone. Tack on the desktop and that’s another $49.95. Same goes for OmniFocus, whose iPad app is not available yet.
Within the past couple of weeks, some affordable alternatives have emerged on the App Store. These programs are pretty great on their own, but they also come with issues — especially when it comes to syncing with other devices. First up, we take a look at BitAlpha’s Taska for the iPad and iPhone.
App Store rejections appear as often as panhandlers around Union Square, but the refusal to let Greg Hughes’ Wi-Fi Sync app into the store deserves a special mention. Hughes’ application works in tandem with a helper app on your Mac and enable iTunes and your iPhone or iPad Touch to sync wirelessly over your local network.
Why is this notable? First, because it is insanely useful, and something that the iPhone should just do already. Second, because Apple admitted that the application doesn’t break any rules. The app is completely legit. An Apple representative told Greg over the phone that “the app doesn’t technically break the rules [but] it does encroach upon the boundaries of what they can and cannot allow on their store.”
