Apple apps save the day

Thanks so much Apple for the amazing App Store. I am currently sitting on a plane as I write this. The apps that I have been using through this flight have really helped me. My favorite app right now has to be the tiger woods PGA app. This app can take a long time to be beaten and will last a long time. I highly reccomend it even though it is a little pricey compared to other apps. Another game that is awesome is Real Racing. This app is $10 and worth every penny. Realistic, fun, and exciting describes it best. It is one of the best simulators on the store. There is a career mode which can get challenging. The last game I want to talk about is Brothers in Arms. This app is a shooting game that represents World War II. It has very good graphics and beats most of the other apps that are of this genre. Although I have not gotten far in this game yet, I have not seen to many different weapons or tanks. The story line isn’t spelled out but i’m sure anyone playing can figure out what it is. Well, I guess I’m going to get back to my apps now since I do have many more hours on this plane.

It takes just a minute to connect your YouTube account to your Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader accounts. Complete a simple, one-time connection on our upload page to allow all your friends and followers to get a real-time stream of your uploads to YouTube, which can be essential in this age of citizen reporting and ubiquitous sharing.”
