Three last minute gifts under $20 (that aren’t iTunes)

Section: Features , Gift Guide So now you’re hosed. It’s Christmas Eve and you need a truly last-minute present or stocking stuffer. Now, the simple thing to do would be an iTunes gift certificate , which you can print out or email. Bang presto, problem solved. But suppose you know someone who doesn’t own an iPod (they exist, you know). Or maybe you just want something different. So, here are some other gifts you can pull together at the 11th hour, even if you can’t get to the store. Netflix Gift Subscription – Available for as little as $8.99 (for a one month, one disc subscription), Netflix allows you to rent DVDs through the mail. But the real draw here is their growing library of movies available via Watch Instantly, allowing you to stream movies to your computer (PC and Intel-based Mac) or to your TV via any number of devices (including the PS3 and XBox). So, even at the lowest denomination, you’re giving them a month of great films. World of Warcraft – The original game is available as a digital gift from Blizzard. For $19.99, they get the original game and a month of play; more than enough to hook them into this highly addictive MMO. But if they already have a subscription to this popular game, you can also let them try new-kid-on-the-block Warhammer Online , available as a free download and trial. The only problem is it’s a 10GB download, so you’ll want to start now

Know someone who doesn’t fit the mold? Here are some great gift ideas.

Posted by Published in 23, Images, Music, News, ad, ads, app, apple, apple.com, art, book, cat, demo, downloads, feed, geek, holiday, image, loo, mac, old, store

Section: Features , Gift Guide Most large corporations (including Apple) like to file us away into a demographic. Usually it’s an age thing, but who aside from them really knows how they classify us. Well, if they have one for a thirty-something, Harley riding, heavy metal guitar playing, half tattooed Apple Fanboy/geek, then I’m there. I am sure most of you do not fit into any of the molds that Corporate America puts us in, so I would like to share with you my Apple wish list this holiday season, and hopefully it will give you a few ideas for your loved ones also. Most of the items in this list will be very inexpensive, because a lot of us are holding our money close to us this holiday season due to the unstable economy. I would classify these as stocking stuffers. Apple baseball cap. – I have a hat on more than I don’t, and this would just be cool to have. Missingbite.com offers several Apple branded products from which you can choose. Apple keyboard – I am sure there are people out there like me who are forced to use a Windows machine in their place of work

Section: Features , Gift Guide Black Friday’s over , unnamed Saturday and Sunday have past us by, and that leaves us with Cyber Monday, the day when everyone apparently spends the bulk of their workday shopping online.

Joost comes to iPhone, brings plethora of videos

Posted by Published in Apps, Film, Images, Music, Software, Videos, ad, ads, app, app store, apple, art, book, cat, feed, ftw, gadget, iPhone, iPhone + Communications, iTunes, image, iphone app, loo, movie, movies, price, store, stream, tech, time, tv

Section: iPhone + Communications , iPhone , iPhone SDK & Apps Joost , a sizable company with premium video content, has created their very own iPhone application for the iTunes App Store. This piece of software will give you access to Joost’s large database of content, containing 46,000 items, including 18,000 music videos, 400 TV series and 1,200 movies and short films. And the best part about that is the price: 100% free. The application itself provides users with the entire Joost catalog, but the streaming only works over Wifi, which is a big downer so far with the app. That said, when you are on Wifi, this seems like a great alternative to Apple’s YouTube application. Although YouTube and its notoriously varying quality of video clips provide their own sort of entertainment, Joost brings a more premium quality of video (however, YouTube’s inclusion of full feature movies at 16:9 ratio may change that). Either way, since this app is free, I suggest you head on over to the App Store and check it out, you may be surprised with what you can find. The interface looks slick, and even contains its own variation of Apple’s Quicktime controls. Via [ ArsTechnica ] Full Story » | Written by Josh Holat for Appletell . | Comment on this Article »
