Z Tips Box: iOS-look na Android, Mapy Google ako Time Machine, Sťahovanie Wii hry šetrí

I love the styling of iOS but the flexibility of Android. My compromise is a free app called Espier Launcher that retools your Android phone to look like an iOS phone. If you’re a fan of the iOS look, it’s too good to pass up!

I saw your neat Google Maps/Historical Maps mashup earlier today and figured you guys would enjoy History Pin. I included a link to a little introductory video that explains the site pretty well… essentially it’s like a giant pin board for historical photos. There’s tens of thousands of photos from around the world; you just zoom in and start checking them out. There’s even little mini curated collections that highlight historical events, trends, and other neat stuff. Anyways, you guys should check it out!

I know it might not be particularly sporting of me, but these days I don’t have a whole lot of time to spend gaming. When I want to play all the levels in Mario Kart, I want to play all the levels in Mario Kart (without spending a couple weekends beating all the races and unlocking all the time trials and such). I found this great site called WiiSave that is like a giant repository of Wii game saves. It’s perfect for skipping ahead in a game like Mario Kart where you just want to goof around on all the tracks with your friends (but it would certainly kill the fun for long epic games like Twilight Princess). There’s a tutorial video that walks you through using it, once you’ve done it a few times it’s super easy!
