Apple's iTunes Promo Shows Paid apps away for free

Apple may be following in the footsteps of the Amazon Appstore for Android by offering a paid app for free on a regular basis.

Apple recently used its current "App of the Week" feature to facilitate Cut the Rope: Experiments as a free download. Cut the Rope: Experiments is priced at 99 cents on the Amazon Appstore and Google Play. Apple made the announcement via the App Store Twitter account.



It is unclear whether Apple intends to offer a free weekly app the way that Amazon promotes a daily freebie on the Appstore. Typically, discounted app promotions on Apple's App Store on the initiative of the app developer, not Apple, and that may be the case with Cut the Rope: Experiments.

Zepto Labs announced on Thursday a new level pack for the game. Hard Candy has 25 new levels and additional game elements, and at the launch of the company said that the app will be available free. So this is a joint Apple Zepto Labs promotion, or Apple can easily use Zepto Labs' announcement of a great free app to promote the App Store.


If Apple does not intend to regularly offer free paid apps in the App Store, then a weekly promotion probably a better deal than a day is. Amazon first launched daily free apps like the Appstore for Android debuted in March 2011. The online retailer had a strong start by offering free downloads of Angry Birds Rio is a popular new paid app at the moment.

More than 12 months later, but the free daily Appstore apps are often snoozers. Recent free apps under my sketch, Alphabet Coloring, Fruit Sorter Factbook and Extreme. All of them have 3 to 3.5 star reviews on Amazon. But Amazon has for its free place to fill every day, so they can not all be winners. Current Quote Unquote free Amazon app is a word game that mixes crossword clues with famous quotes.

To download these things, you will need to get iTunes gift card to have access to US iTunes store.




Blake Shelton has some pretty strong evidence for his assertion that his 'The Voice' team is the best. The singer posted a few tweets today about Team Blake's iTunes chart positions, showing that the public responds to his performers every time they are on stage. You can not argue with the fact that people buy songs after the fact.

The viewers like what they see and hear, so they spend their hard-earned cents. This is proof that Shelton does what works. RaeLynn, his country cutie, is particularly well on iTunes and Shelton pointed out that for all - especially the 17-year-old hopeful critics - to see.

This is especially sweet because it shows his level of investment in his children. "" Wake was. Checked iTunes. Pissed pants .... "Shelton tweeted early Tuesday afternoon, adding," # Team Blake is not only forward. They dominate! "

He has two RaeLynn-specific tweets, which in its defense against the haters "@ Team_RaeLynn: wisdom for all the dumb @ RaeLynnOfficial haters put there?" A fan asked, to which he replied with a simple "This ..." - One. picture of the iTunes playlist country, where blonde teen is named in the will of Aldean and Lambert, who has country superstars.

Again, it was RaeLynn and R & B singer Jermaine Paul displayed on the top of the downloads.

Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday Roman Reloaded ': Review Roundup

iTunes gift certificate

It is 3 april, which means that second album Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded has finally made its official debut. The 19-track LP shows a clear separation between rap tracks (listed on the first half of the album) and super pop songs (which make up the second half) and the critics are not exactly feeling the body of work as a whole. It is not Nicki's talent as a rapper who has been questioned, as much as her decision to put out dance-pop tracks in the interest of commercial appeal.

First Listen: Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded '

In a sometimes devastating one-and-a-half-star review, Slant praises Reloaded's opening tracks such as' loud, confrontational rap songs "which is" brilliant. "However, and it is a big but," The remaining 53 minutes from the Roman Reloaded are a disaster, so much so that I have the rest of this review to add a non-exhaustive list of the most embarrassing missteps. "Ouch.

The album is divided "between a rap almost exactly half and half pop," and the rap half - especially the tracks "Beez in the fall" and "Come on Cone" - is praised, the dummy half is thrown harder than just about every pop album in recent history.

"At her best, Nicki Minaj is one line, one of the funniest, most creative rappers of the moment, male or female. Her many characters and voices fly through her songs with cheerful leave, and she seems to have so much fun surprising us, "the LA Times writes. "In the first half of her second album, Pink Friday ... Roman Reloaded, the Trinidadian American rapper from New York City provides repeated evidence of her talent, and she delivers funny, biting, nasty lines and rhyming couplets with apparent glee. But ... then, after the ridicule that 'Sex in the Lounge "(which sounds like a Lonely Island parody of R. Kelly song, and [surprisingly], features Lil Wayne), the album runs off a cliff."

Nicki Minaj Bares Skin In 'Roman Reloaded' Cover Art

One of the complaints: "The club bangers that the album the second half to be together" of the blandest and most cookie-cutter variety, the music behind the "automatic" could be mistaken for a 15-year-old the first stab at making of a dance track. Ableton software, a cynical awkward easy run with synth chords that were already tired when cheesy invented in 1998 raves. "- LA Times

»" The five RedOne-helmed tracks in a row to feel as distinct and independent opening six did, but big synths and dramatic declines are the stars of these numbers, Minaj is reduced to supporting players. "» "There are too way many anonymous dance tracks like "Automatic" and "Fire Burns" that could come from a dozen singers. "-

The consensus seems to be that Nicki is at her best when she spit lines like Roman instead of pursuing the beat-driven bubblegum which, ironically, has her with some of its biggest Billboard chart hits, including the RedOne produced Reloaded single "Spaceships," which currently sits at number 5 on the Hot 100, and her collaboration with David Guetta, 'Turn Me On "(# 10 this week after peaking at # 4 earlier this year).

There are some positive messages out there. In an almost rave, called Global Grind Reloaded "a rollercoaster of musical madness, magic rap bars [and] catchy pop songs that you do not want to, but eventually sing." Popdust awarded the set of a three and a half (four) star review with the remark that the "monstrous beats and [Nicki's] convincing delivery to leave little room for rebuttal."

Giving a B +, Newsday says: "The first half of the Roman Reloaded is the Nicki we come to love. The pride of Jamaica, Queens, is brutal and in your face, messing with gender roles and the provision of various Zingers. In first-class hip-hop as "I Am Your Leader," where she holds her own with Rick Ross, Cam'ron, and 'Champion', where she takes on Nas and Young Jeezy, Minaj cement its rep as hip-hop's brightest new star. "The news may even goes so far as to say that Minaj" has its moments "on the pop side. That's pretty much the biggest compliment we could find on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded controversial second 's half.

When will tablets also become a smart phone?

iTunes gift card


Q: When is someone going to a tablet, making a smart phone? Why should I carry around two devices when you could do anything? 

A: The sticking point is the economy. Take Apple, for example - a good idea, because they (DIAL) set the tone for the rest of the market. An iPad with an integrated phone would cannibalize sales of the iPhone. That would not be good for business. In addition, Apple's "cool factor" is not compatible with a large tablet on your ear. You could of course lead to calls on a tray using a headset or hands-free through - do something that many people with their smartphones. 

The only thing close to a "phablet" on the market today, the Samsung Galaxy reference, a smartphone with a 5.3-inch display - not in tablet form field, but always close.Samsung, like Apple does, cell phones and tablets, so that it too is in danger of losing a phone hybrid device. But the Galaxy reference seems to be a big winner. Samsung says that there are five million of the things he sells, because it was published in October. 

I think it's only a matter of time before Apple Bites the Bullet and brings a phablet for themselves - perhaps a 7-inch version of the iPad with a built-in phone. Finally, all the tablets are likely to double in the position as phones with mobile operators. 

Q: I subscribed to Netflix, and I was shocked by the lack of new movies for streaming.How long after the film released on DVD it is available for streaming to be? 

A: It is not just a question of how long, but how many. Since losing Disney and Sony (after he renewed his contract with the distributor does not Starz), Netflix has had to settle for a minimum of new releases for streaming - most of Lionsgate, MGM and Paramount. DVD movies are usually (and TV rental) for three months after its theatrical release. Expect to wait another three months, in order to stream Netflix. The release process for Blockbuster may take much longer, and some movies can not be offered by an $ 8 per month streaming service. Jennifer Lawrence could be an old lady, before you see "The Hunger Games" streaming on Netflix. 

Q: I have about 8 gigabytes of music on iTunes on my Mac. I recently purchased a new Dell laptop, and I want my music library in order to transfer it. I installed the Windows version of iTunes on the laptop and tried to move (via USB stick) on the music library, but iTunes on the PC does not seem all that came from the Mac to recognize. Can this be done? If not, I'll have to get the old Mac to keep indefinitely, or difficult to rebuild my library on the PC. Neither option cheers me. 

A: This question sounds like an ad for iTunes game that works in conjunction with icloud, the Apple web-based music storage service. The iTunes software (version 10.5.1 or later) on your computer includes iTunes game. He can determine what kind of music in your library in the iTunes store, and add it to your icloud account without upload it from your computer. At the same time, it may invite any music you have, this is not the iTunes Store icloud. Once your music is in icloud, you can stream (or download) to your PC or Mac from Apple devices compatible. 

The disadvantages: Apple charges $ 25 per year for iTunes game. Also, could the 8-gigabyte library exceed 5 gigabytes of free space you get with icloud (music bought on iTunes can not be counted toward the limit). 

Q: How do I add my signature at the end of a business letter in Microsoft Word? I have the letter to send to a lot of people, and I do not want to have to sign each one. 

A: Write your signature on a blank sheet of paper, then use an all-in-one printer or stand-alone scanner to scan it. Save it as a JPEG image, then use an image editor to crop and size them. Free programs such as Windows Photo Gallery (part of Microsoft Live Essentials from explore.live.com) and iPhoto (part of the iLife suite on Macs) can handle the job. Save the cropped image to a folder where you can find it easily, then use the Insert menu in Word to put the signature in the letter. 

Here's a tip: Use a colored pen to the signature appears from the black text in the letter, and more realistic.
