After all, "he's the angriest gamer you've ever heard." Some know him as "the angry Atari Sega nerd." Maybe to you he's the "Angry Nintendo Nerd." The Angry Video Game Nerd has made close to 110 episodes, and I have seen and enjoyed every single one of them.

Think Shazam Only Identifies Music? Think Again [iPhone]

More often that not, the creator of an app is content to sit back and enjoy the success and not evolve. That's fine in some situations, but it's really fantastic when an app creator is willing to keep moving forward. This extra effort makes for an app that even years after its release, is still worth talking about. Shazam certainly fits the description of an app that was not content with its original functionality.

NES Games That Retailers Chronically Overcharge For

Recently, I wrote an article about NES games that sell for insane prices. Games like Stadium Events can easily sell for thousands of dollars. That's all well and good, but there are some classic NES games that are really popular that constantly sell for more than their value.

Activator Is The Most Important Jailbreak Tweak Available [Cydia]

There is one tweak that is the unsung hero of Cydia. Activator is the backbone of so many Cydia tweaks because it allows for gesture-based controls of almost anything. It can launch apps and do almost whatever you can imagine. It sits in the background on your iOS device and offers a slew of options. It may not receive the praise of some other tweaks like MyWi, Dreamboard, Winterboard, and others, but without Activator, many other tweaks would not be able to work.

MyWi: The Best Way To Tether With An iOS Device [iOS, Cydia]

Many cell phone carriers offer the ability to tether, but some don't, and many of the ones that do charge insane amounts per month. Sharing your Internet connection with another device is incredibly useful and can be a real lifesaver if you need to get some work done and you happen to find yourself somewhere without a Wi-Fi connection. If your carrier does not offer tethering, and your iPhone is jailbroken, there is a way to get tethering without a monthly charge.
