beverlynoelle You probably shouldn't give children drugs...
electrohead Drugs come in different forms. :)
StreamToMe App
You install this app on your iOS device and another "server" module on your PC or Mac. This allows your iOS device to stream movies your have on your computer do your iOS device. The idea is that you don't have to convert movies to stream them on iPad or iPhone. If I have movies as .avi's then it should work/stream.

Took a bit of Windows firewall tweaking in order for my iPad to see the movies. Quality of video was ehh.. and some of my .avi's where not playing. I don't think I need to spend this much time troubleshooting an app for iPad. Bleh.

riddlefish Wait, why was there a Windows firewall for an apple product? I'm confused...?
electrohead This app streams videos from the drive, not iTunes. For example, if I ripped a DVD to my drive and saved in my drive - not using iTunes. In order for iPad to see what videos are on my PC this app needs to talk to the PC. So StreamToMe iPad app talks to StreamToMe server app that lives on the PC. But in order to the Windows app to talk to the iPad app I had to tweak Windows Firewall settings.

The place is just pure and concentrated evil. Every time I walk in there I leave with at least a case of wine. Amazing deals though - tons of 90+ rated wines for under $50.

electrohead They have locations in Redwood City, San Francisco and a few more. Here is the site: http://www.klwines.com/
electrohead They also have reasonably priced wine tastings every Saturday. Very good selections. Yesterday is was Ports. Yummy!
riddlefish Man, I already spend too much money on shitty wine. I can't even imagine having access to a place with good wine AND good deals...

On second thought, I have to start being classier at some point, right? Haha. ;p
Dogs Decoded
According to this Nova episode dogs are the only animal that can read human emotions, can react to us pointing (yes, not other animal can do that), and actually reduce heart attak rates by some crazy percentage. I guess I need to get a dog, even though it sheds, barks, and leaves steamy poo that I would have to pick up and put in a bag.

Grocery iQ App
I use this shopping app all the time. Saves items to favorite list so that I don't have re-enter them, bar code scanner recognizes apps, etc. And it has way more features that I will ever use. Very cool
USAA App
Just like the Chase commercial touts - I can deposit my checks using iPhone from the back yard, stairs, or bathroom. Plus I can check how much money I owe on my credit card. :(
WordPress App
I've yet to write my first blog post using this app on iPad. But soon, real soon!
Cor.kz Wine Info App
My buddy wrote this all. It interfaces with www.cellartracker.com where I, and thousands of others, keep track of our wine collections. You can use the bar code scanner to check what the wine community thinks of the wine you're about to buy, or see what's good, etc. Really good wine app for iOS.
WeatherBug Elite for iPad App
Well, it tell me what the weather will be.
GT Racing: Motor Academy HD App
This racing game is great, if I could ever figure out how to stay on the track. I keep smashing into walls and other cars. My 6-year old pick it up the iPad and did just fine. Another sign that you should keep to my fat fingers to my 8-track and leave the fancy games to the youngen ones.

Bump App
It's a great app to share contact info by bumping your iPhone against another iPhone. But since everyone knows that iPhone 4 is REALLY fragile, I have not bumped anyone yet. Well, except my wife, but that's another review.
RAGE HD App
Being older I no longer have patience for complicated games. I mean who likes to get killed in the first 20 seconds of a shoot-em up game??? This game for my iPad however, is pretty good and set to Easy Mode (aka - old person mode) I am able to annihilate some evil zombies and have a good time. I think this game is from the same people who did Doom.

Pandora Radio App
If you don't know what Pandora does then I'm writing you out of the will.
lesayoh Whew, good. You're will restrictions are pretty easy to follow.
Foodspotting App
It's a cool idea... When hungry, instead of looking at Yelp, you browse through food items and dishes people took photos of and uploaded to Foodspotting right before they consumed said items. Essentially you're looking at a visual menu of things that are near you (yes it's location based). The problem is that I always forget to take a photo before, so all my contributions were half eaten.
Dr. Seuss's ABC App
Kid loves this. And super-secretly, I like it to. Great interactive approach to Dr.
