Sorry for the pun but I’m afraid this one leaves me a bit cold (Ed - there goes another rib...). What’s funny is that a lot of apps promote their ability to help you cut down on clutter such as scraps of paper and Post-It notes whereas this one actively encourages you to recreate the same squalid looking mess on your PC rather than stuck to your fridge door.

Well, I'm not suggesting you rush out and buy a clipboard but there is a more modern way to keep up with the multitude of information ... Read more
