What do you do if you want to play something like Checkers, Chess or Backgammon over Wifi on your iPhone? And of course, you only have five dollars on you. How can you manage? Thankfully, there’s a perfect app to fit your need. Using Astraware Board Games, you can play any of eight games with your friends, right from your iPhone.

Test your skills while playing Chess, Backgammon, Ludo, Checkers, Reversi, Nine Men’s Morris, Snakes and Ladders, and Tic Tac Toe. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an Expert, this app will be perfect for you. Simply touch your game piece and move it where you want it to go. Or shake the iPhone to roll the dice!

Astraware Board Games is perfect for families to enjoy together. Many of the games include customizable rules and a range of difficulty levels, but designed with casual players and non-experts in mind. Play against the computerized players, against friends using “hotseat” multiplayer on your iPhone, or against a friend on two separate devices using a local Wi-Fi connection.

For only five dollars, it’s silly not to have this App. You can play against the computer when you are stuck somewhere without an Internet connection, bored out of your mind. Or you can gather your friends, and see who can manage to outwit whom. Either way, you’ll have hours of fun.

Do you feel like a pawn in the game of life? I’m not talking about a little stick figure in a Milton Bradley game. I’m talking about moving around with no arms, a pointy head and always on the lookout for a Queen? I’m talking about playing Chess, of course. I don’t know about you, but I’m no good at playing Chess. Playing Battle Chess isn’t so bad, since it makes losing so much fun.

Maybe you’re a good Chess player, or someone who wants to get better. In that case, you should check out ChessCube. On ChessCube, you can play Chess for free. You can also create your own Chess network, get pointers from Masters, and search through millions of games to find out what works. Most importantly, you can get detailed statistics on all your Chess moves. That can go a long way towards helping you better your game.

Use ChessCube to network with others, by utilizing their social networking areas. It’s always fun to meet new people who share your interests. ChessCube is a great idea. You can make new friends, form a network with old ones, and learn something while having fun. You can’t beat that!

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
