Ticket to Ride Pocket now Free for a limited time

Posted: 08 Feb 2012 12:54 PM PST

Ticket to Ride Pocket, the excellent iOS adaptation of the award winning and best selling board game, is now free for a limited time. Similar to its iPad sibling, Ticket to Ride Pocket was designed from the ground up to make the complete board game experience possible on the iPhone’s 3.5″ screen.

Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure in which players collect and play matching train cards to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America.

The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who can fulfill their Destination Tickets by connecting two distant cities, and to the player who builds the longest continuous railway. The object of the game is to score the highest number of total points.

A recent update (v1.1) also introduced an all-new asynchronous multiplayer mode, where players can challenge each other online via GameCenter. And for the more ambitious, multiple online games can even be played at the same time (simply cycle through matches when your turn’s up). The rules of the game can seem daunting at first, but an informative tutorial in-game (embedded video below) should get newbies up to speed in no time. If board games are your cup of tea, don’t miss out on this awesome freebie offer.

Evernote iOS update: Smart titles, Improved Editing and more

Posted: 08 Feb 2012 10:23 AM PST

Evernote, the notetaking tool I heavily rely on for storing all my work/personal notes, ideas and pretty much everything I come across on the web, has been updated for the iPhone and iPad. Version 4.1.8 brings about “smarter” titles, easier sharing (new sharing icon), improved editing on iOS 5 (faster and better style preservation from copy/paste) and other minor improvements. For many of you who can’t stand having all those notes with “Untitled Notes” – when a note is created without entering a proper title – the Predictive note titles feature should be a welcomed addition:

Paul McCartney’s latest album Kisses On the Bottom released 2 days ago, and to celebrate, the iconic singer-songwriter will be giving a free Live Performance via iTunes on Thursday, Feb 9 at 7pm PST. From Guitar World:

Paul McCartney will commemorate the release of his new album, Kisses On The Bottom, with a free streaming performance that takes place 7 p.m. PST Thursday, February 9, from Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, where much of the new album was recorded.

Fans can watch the show for free through iTunes.

Kisses On The Bottom, which comes out Tuesday, February 7, via Hear Music/Concord, is a collection of standards McCartney grew up listening to, plus two new McCartney compositions — “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts” (which feature guest turns, respectively, from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder).

Recorded with the aid of Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band — who will back McCartney for the Capitol live-stream event –Kisses On The Bottom is a personal journey through songs that, in some cases, a young McCartney first heard his father perform on the family piano.

Come 7pm PST tomorrow, you can catch the live stream on your computer (on iTunes) with this link, or if you have an Apple TV, you can enjoy the performance right from the comforts on your big screen TV. Watch Paul McCartney talk about Kisses on the Bottom in more detail below.

neu.Annotate+ PDF gets update, now on sale for $0.99

Posted: 08 Feb 2012 08:24 AM PST

neu.Pen’s solid neu.Annotate+ PDF app has been updated to version 1.2 and its price slashed to $0.99 (down from $4.99) for the next two weeks. As part of the update, AirPrint and AirPlay are now supported, along with an all-new Search function (text annotations included), the ability to rearrange pages and more. As its name suggests, the PDF reader lets you create handwritten/text notes, highlights, drawings and insert various pre-made stamps. You can even import/export PDF documents to/from your Dropbox account. At its current price of $0.99, it’s certainly one of the best bargains for PDF apps that can perform annotations. If you’re still not convinced, the free (and still very capable) neu.Annotate PDF is also available, though with significantly less features. Oh, did I mention that it’s a universal app? Demo video of neu.Annotate+ after the break.
