Editor’s note: This article was reposted from sfgate.com.
Disney‘s ABC is trying again with another "Sync" app for the iPad for its hit show "Grey’s Anatomy."
The idea is that the iPad app contains a bunch of companion content — polls, trivia, character bios, video, photos, etc. — that is delivered at specific times in an episode using special syncing technology from Nielsen.
Because the "sync" is tied to the show’s audio, it works even if you’re watching the show off your DVR, if you rewind, etc.
ABC and Nielsen tried a similar app last year for the show "My Generation," but the show got canceled after two episodes, so it’s hard to see any long-term results.
Obviously "Grey’s Anatomy" has a real audience, so this will be a good test to see if this sort of app is useful or pointless.
With more people using iPads and computers on their laps while watching TV, apps like this make sense, in theory. It could be a good opportunity for ABC, in this case, to stuff your brain with more information about the show and, of course, more ads.

Here’s a fun Halloween game younger children will enjoy on the iPad. Treat Street is probably best suited for younger kids not so accustomed to the trick-or-treat tradition of venturing outside on Halloween and going door to door asking for candy.
The game begins by choosing your costume. By clicking on the head, torso, and feet of your character, you’re able to mix and match different styles of costumes.
Next you move on to Treat Street where your character is walked along the sidewalk by touching the screen. Touch a house and you’re taken to the front door where you can knock and/or ring the doorbell. Within a few seconds the door opens and you’re given candy that is automatically deposited into your bag.
While walking down the street there are different characters like pumpkins, crows, owls, cats and light posts. Touching any of these produces a sound that should keep children interested if the promise of digital candy doesn’t do it for them.
