In an ideal world, it would be just perfect if your restaurant waiting staff could tell every single customer about all the discounts and deals that are available as well as the most popular items on the menu as soon as they walk through the door. Your best staff will undoubtedly do that already but, chances are, not all of them will adhere to those principles. So, given that every person and their dog seems to own a smartphone these days, wouldn't it be good to utilize that technology to get the massage across? For diners, it would be a bit like having the perfect waiting staff right ...  More

If you were a member of the Boy Scouts as a kid you'll know all about knife throwing. One of the great scouting activities has always been the fine art of throwing sharp things at pieces of wood - whether it be a tomahawk, an axe or a knife. It's described in the Scouts manual as one of the great pastimes and there's even a code of conduct surrounding it so that no one gets hurt. There is a fair amount of skill involved in getting it right. Typically, in this digital age, knife throwing has now been turned into a game. Flippy Knife is a new game for both iOS and Android that is based on ...  More

Do you believe in ghosts? Is there an afterlife? Is there a world of spirits that exists in another dimension? Can they be contacted? These are all questions that have been asked since the beginning of time. There are accounts of 'talking boards' or 'fuji' existing in China way back in 1100AD (damn near everything seems to have its origins in China, doesn't it) but the Ouija board - as we know it - probably came to prominence after the American Civil War in the mid to late 19th Century. Mediums back then made significant amounts of money 'helping' mourners get in touch with their departed ...  More

You know what it's like. You come home after a hard day at work and you have to think about cooking up something for dinner. There's not much in the cupboards or the fridge so it could be a toss up between heading to the supermarket or ordering in a takeaway. But hang on, there's some chicken in the fridge and there are a few vegetables left over from the weekend. If only those Masterchef people were around right now with their mystery boxes where they can make a stunning meal from a few ingredients. But, hang on. There's nothing to stop you knocking up something tasty from the ingredients ...  More

Many of us consider that all the hard work is done as soon as we have created our website. You know the score. We have slaved over it for a long time or paid out good money for someone to create our own gateway to the online world and now it's time to start cashing in. However, as we all know, things can go wrong. It could be that your website has been hacked or you've made a simple mistake when updating content...or maybe it's one of those gremlins that creep into our computers overnight. Unless we are diligent and monitor the site closely, it may be weeks or months before we discover the ...  More

The art of astrology has long been vilified by both Christians and the sceptics of this world as misleading (and satanic in some instances) but it hasn't stopped a large portion of the world's population checking their horoscope every morning online or in the daily newspaper. The concept of linking the planets to the 12 zodiac signs was originally devised in the Middle East and classical Greece somewhere between the 5th and 1st centuries BC - so it has a lot of history. Despite the skepticism, figures suggest that over 90% of people know their star sign and over half of them believe there ...  More

Coordinating meetings and get togethers used to be so simple. Just pick up the phone and call the relevant parties was the way to go. It was effective but hardly dynamic, though. Then social media sites reared their ugly heads and everything changed. Suddenly we were able to contact people on mass and share everything - including details of the event and the photos that accompanied them. Then the social media sites like Facebook turned into behemoths. Gone was the intimacy and privacy that existed before. These days, people are spread over a number of different social networks and many are ...  More

From a buyers point of view, one of the more annoying traits of viewing the many classified marketplaces that are available online is the poor design that many are built around. Personally speaking, if I'm looking at a site that I find difficult to navigate or hard to understand I tend to click on the little cross in the corner of the screen and move on to a different one. So, it's my pleasure to announce that I've found one that does pretty much everything that I want in an advertising site. EasyAds is a comprehensive and fully customizable advertising site that is perfect for both ...  More

Every parent wants to know that their kids are safe and protected from the things that could harm them whether it be in the real world or the digital world. However, it can cause enormous domestic problems if your kids think that you're looking over their shoulder all the time. One of the more effective ways of keeping an eye on them is with a phone monitoring device. FeedMyApp has reviewed many of them over the years. However, I don't think that we've seen one yet that does the job quite as well as the one we have here. Family Orbit is a mobile app for iOS and Android that acts as a ...  More

Everywhere we look these days, we are being told that our online communications are in peril of being hacked or listened in to. If it isn't the Russians, the Chinese or the North Koreans it's our own Governments who want to be able to monitor our online conversations. No wonder many are turning to Virtual Private Networks to protect their privacy. Some might think that messaging chat apps are the way to go and use popular services like WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, Facebook Messenger and Signal to get their messages across securely. However, all have suffered with privacy issues over the last ...  More
