30 best free Android apps

Posted on 02 June 2010 by admin

From Source: TechRadar

OK, so the Android Market is more akin to Lidl or Asda than the iPhone's enormous, indulgent Selfridges-at-Christmas time approach, but the open source nature of Google's OS means there's plenty of innovation to be found on its budget shelves.
And best of all, most of the good stuff on Android is free, thanks to the work of developers who do it for love alone. These 20 free Android apps should be any Android owner's Day One installs...

Listropolis' Take:

I love my Nexus One. If, like me, you're making the switch to Android from an iPhone, this list will come in VERY handy.

Top 10 Free iPhone Apps – November 27

Posted on 27 November 2008 by admin

It hit me today that a site with nothing but lists, should include iTunes lists. Nothing too fancy - just the top 10 whatever I feel like from iTunes. I'll try to do these regularly, mixed with the other lists, but it should make for an easy way to stay on top of what's popular.

Apple iTunes

#1.
Cube - fernLightning (iTunes Link)

mzl.bpuuieqn.480x480-75.jpg (JPEG Image, 480x320 pixels)

Cube is a singleplayer and multiplayer first person shooter that provides satisfying and fast oldskool gameplay. This opensource game is built on an entirely new and very unconventional engine. Cube is a landscape-style engine that pretends to be an indoor FPS engine, which combines very high precision dynamic occlusion culling with a form of geometric mipmapping on the whole world for dynamic LOD for configurable fps & graphic detail. Most of the engine design is targeted at reaching feature richness through simplicity of structure and brute force, rather than finely tuned complexity. 
 This iphone port is provided by fernLightning is a technology demo that supports all of the functionality of the desktop version including multiplayer, in-game editing, cooperative editing, demo recording, etc (though some of these are impractical on the iphone) - please visit the official Cube homepage http://www.cubeengine.com/ for more information. Furthermore we encourage people to check out the newest version of Cube - Cube 2: Sauerbraten - a far more powerful and modern version. fernLighting thanks Wouter van Oortmerssen of dot3labs for his permission to release this port.

35 Free Premium WordPress Themes You Probably Missed

Posted on 24 September 2008 by admin

Free WordPress themes are a dime a dozen these days, but every so often, you'll run across a theme so great, you just can't believe it's free. I've seen other WordPress Theme lists, and most of them duplicate themes, so I've decided to compile a list of what I think are the 35 best free wordpress themes that you might not have seen yet.

All of the themes below have demos, and can be downloaded for free. You're also welcome to customize the themes as you like, and as good as these themes already are, with a little customization, you can have a stellar site with very little work - just make sure you read the licensing disclaimers before you go too crazy.

#1.
OneNews

This theme is very similar to PopUrls, which is, as described by its founder, the ultimate source for the latest web buzz and news. I'm a HUGE fan of PopUrls, making this theme one of my new favorites.

30 Great Free Paper Backgrounds and Textures

Posted on 05 July 2008 by admin

From Creative Closeup:

One of the best free stuff Graphic Designers can find on the Web for free are high resolution backgrounds and textures. Long gone are the days when you had to buy very expensive CDs in order to obtain good quality backgrounds for your design projects.
By that time, marble and granite textures were all the rage. But now it seems that paper is becoming the new king. Lots of Web Designers are embracing the delicate look of a piece of paper with a subtle shadow. And if it is torn or folded, much better.
This gallery shows some paper backgrounds I collected from different sites. If you would like to add some nice effects to some of these textures, you can read a tutorial I wrote about creating paper folds and creases to paper textures in Photoshop.
Please, read about the usage rights: All of these textures should be free for commercial use, but to be absolutely sure, check each web site usage terms and license before downloading. Below each image sample, there is a link to the usage license. In some cases, where the scope of the license was not clear enough, I placed a link to the author profile so you can contact him. You can also read this excellent Guide to Finding and Using Incredible Flickr Images to help you find more free images for your work.

200+ Textures, Brushes, and Fonts: Ultimate Grunge Roundup

Posted on 08 June 2008 by admin

From Design Reviver:

Grunge style is rough, rugged, torn, worn, and tattered. To most, these adjectives would describe something less than appealing, but in the hands of a talented web designer, elements possessing these qualities can be used to turn a web site into a work of art. So, if you are just getting started in grunge design or if you are already a pro, you should find the grunge freebies in this article to be very useful.
