One thing to keep in mind, however, is that AT&T is rolling out LTE to more cities 2012, so if you want the best 4G service and live in a planned rollout area, you may want to wait until they offer LTE smartphones....
At groovyPost, we accompany all of our how-tos and reviews with ample screenshots. For screenshots, TechSmith’s Snagit is our tool of choice.

Apple’s Latest Update for Apple TV brought a few new apps to the service. The one that caught this geek’s attention was Crunchyroll. It’s an app that gives users streams of several popular Japanese TV shows. Most of what’s available is animé. It’s what many folks Stateside call Japanese animation, or “Japanimation” if they aren’t familiar with it. I’m not what you’d call a huge animé fan, but that’s probably why I like this service so much....

Cloud isn’t a new game, in fact, it has been around for a few years now. It was created by Jenova Chen, the maker of flOw, back when he was attending the University of Southern California’s Interactive Media Division. In 2006 it took home 3 awards for its innovative approach to gaming and has been featured in several gaming magazines. Cloud focuses on non-violent artistic values and was one of the first of its kind to spark the huge controversy drawing the line between games and art....
To promote the new Steam platform for Mac, Valve is allowing anyone with a steam account to “purchase” Portal free. That’s right, no trial, no expiration, no strings attached. Once you add Portal to your steam account, it’s yours, free, forever. Steam doesn’t care if you are using Windows or Mac, they just want to give you some free Portal action. The only catch (if you could call it one) is that you only have until May 24th to add it to your Steam account....

But I know you’re all dying to take a sneak peek, so I figured I’d show you around. I first got my invite while I was away from my computer, so my first experience with Google+ was on my iPhone.
