Here's another app privacy problem you might have to worry about: apps that have access to location information on your iPhone or iPad can access, copy and steal your entire iPhone library without you even knowing. Watch your pictures!
Late last year, Adobe launched Photoshop Touch for Android, promising a version for iPad not long after. Now the wait is over.
Hey now. It's the weekend and though maybe you want to go out and get drunk and be dumb, let's be real. A tiny part of you wants to just stay in and play with all these new apps you're going to download.
In the waning weeks of the iPad 2 being the best tablet available, it's time to download some apps to make you still love it. Why not fight off the trolls and throw Windows on your iPad to enjoy this final month together?
Here's an idea for your weekend plans. First get your 50 GB of Box storage for fuh-fah-foo-free. And then eat so much pizza a fat boy would tell you to cool it and then finally get in shape. Oh whoa. These apps will let you do just that!
There are countless search systems floating around the web, but it has just been announced that Apple has purchased the app search company Chomp. This isn't a normal Apple takeover to squash a competitor though; it looks like Apple has serious plans for the expertise it just purchased.

Tomahawk is more complicated, but if you're a music fan who listens to music on a laptop or desktop -- and has friends who do too -- it warrants a try, and possibly a place in your quiver of favourite music apps.
Brace yourselves. Something involving the NHS sounds like a good idea. Doctors are now being advised to "prescribe" their patients smartphone apps, encouraging use of free and cheap little phone tools to manage their conditions.
A fake, completely unofficial and totally illegal port of Pokemon popped up on the App Store the other day and has been blazing through the App Store, even reaching the height of #2 in Top Paid apps. The problem? It doesn't even work.
Android favourite CyanogenMod, which brings exciting new versions of Android to phones either abandoned or not yet updated by their makers while also throwing more features into the mix, has acquired two new "Xeon-class boxes with lots of RAM" thanks to a public fundraising appeal.
Weekend's here. That means debasement and irresponsibility and, best of all, losing stuff. I'm planning on losing my phone this weekend. Haven't decided where just yet, but that's the fun of it. I might replace it with an iPhone, so here are some apps from this week that I'll load it when I buy it.
