iPhone Apps: PlayFootball Review

By


PlayFootball ($2.99)
Version – 1.0
REVIEW – “Think you know football? Try PlayFootball!”

This is the game for everyone out there that thinks they can coach better than the guy on TV! PlayFootball is a football simulator developed by Destroy Objects, Inc. The difference between this and a typical football game is that you don’t actually play the game. Instead you work from the sidelines calling the plays.



The graphics and sound in this game are simple and yet still very professional looking. When you open up to the main menu you are given three options: “Setup,” “Play,” and “Help.” The setup page has all of the expected options to set sounds and such, and the help page just covers some basics on how everything works.
 There are three “difficulties”: High School, College and Pro. Once you start the game you do the coin toss to see who goes first and then the fun begins from there. You are given a basic list of plays to start the game. As your team performs well your playbook is slowly expanded. It’s a good thing because it gets more difficult quickly!


This game is a lot of fun; the only thing that I really didn’t like about it is that it is obviously set up so that it is impossible to really “trounce” the computer. I have always enjoyed football games and so I’m pretty good at football strategy. I was ahead 21-0 in one game, and then all of a sudden none of my plays worked no matter what I did and the game ended up being 28-21.
    
Now some people that are just casual football fans would probably be ok with the automatic difficulty adjustment, but I was very frustrated by it. I don’t mind if the game is hard, but for the difficulty to make a drastic change right in the middle of the game very frustrating. If you coach well it’s pretty much like you go from coaching an elite football machine to the last place stinkers in the second half. All of that said, this game is only $2.99, and offers a good overall football experience, and you really do have to make the right calls at the end to win. I would recommend it to anyone that really enjoys the strategy side of football.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
