I've been through a lot of chat messenger programs in my time and, looking back, none of them have been very different from the others. Usually the main difference lies in the interface and performance, but fundamentally they're all the same. But recently I stumbled across Phonon Voice Messenger, a mobile messenger that really offers something new.

You might miss your coffee-stained, pencil-marked newspaper friends at first, but the iPad is a crossword wonder.

I have been looking for something that could clean up my iPad for me and, according to iMobie, PhoneClean is the program to do that. The free program that claims to free space on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch by deleting files that should be useless to you, such as temporary files, cached and offline files, cookies, script files, and media files that failed to sync properly. On paper, this should be quite useful, especially if you own a 8GB or 16GB iDevice. But does it really work?

Apple doesn’t offer an all-in-one office suite, so users who want to handle these tasks on their tablet must turn to a third-party solution. One of the most popular is QuickOffice Pro HD, a $19.99 iOS productivity suite that is actually owned by Google.

Reddit is one of the most interesting websites on the Internet, and with such a mixed bag of users, it offers a massive variety of content. However, because each user is quite unique, their Reddit viewing preferences may all be a little different. While the browser-based version hasn't changed in years, iOS offers quite a few choices for viewing the website's content. Personal preference might be the decider here, but remember that all of these apps are of the highest quality.

Google Drive is similar to the popularly used cloud storage service, Dropbox, but Drive includes built-in document creation features that are missing in Dropbox. And though Dropbox integrates with dozens of third-party applications, Google Drive contains convenient document sharing and collaboration features that Google and iPad users should be taking advantage of.

Technology failing to work remains the most ridiculous genre trope of the zombie apocalypse. We've seen many disgusted protagonists sneeringly discard ominously "dead" phones: That's because people in movies do not know much about technology.
