App Review: Dropwords
by Sonya, 1 CommentGame Type: Puzzle, Casual Price: Free; $0.99 for ad-free version Get It: If you enjoy word games and casual puzzle games like Bejeweled I have to admit that when I think about Android games, I tend to focus on the ones that keep my kids entertained. But lately I’ve been hogging the phone for myself so I can play Dropwords. This game is sort of a cross between Bejeweled, Scrabble, and a word search.

Women Use Technology, Too
by Renee, 3 CommentsI have been mulling over the idea of writing this post for a while now. It was mostly triggered by a video I saw on Android Central. I was excited that they finally had an (apparently) female-centric podcast with female hosts, called “Girls Gone Gadgets”, with hosts Georgia and Ashley. Now maybe the play on “Girls Gone Wild” in the title should’ve tipped me off, or even their logo, (which I think is supposed to be a pink heart with Android antennae and an Apple bite, but now...

Deciphering Permissions: “Modify/Delete SD Card Contents”
by Renee, 0 CommentsThose of us that are wary about malware and viruses in software always say, “Read the permissions!”, meaning that you should really understand what you are giving the app permission to do when you install it.

However, even though I’m a programmer myself, I still find myself installing apps...
