Reflection — Screencasting on the iPad just got a lot easier
Since I got my iPad 1, I’ve been looking for an effective way to screencast tutorials for it.

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion …what you need to know
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion showing iMessages
This morning Apple issued a press release announcing the developer preview of it’s upcoming upgrade to Mac OS X, code named… drum roll… Mountain Lion!1 What’s the big deal with Mountain Lion? Apple says it has over 100 new features but, as we all know, not all features are created equal and some will go entirely unnoticed. So what is going to make Mountain Lion so special when it finally makes the scene in the late summer of 2012? Let me break it down for you…
- Yes, Apple really has run out of great cat names. A mountain lion, as you may be aware, is a cougar which is a puma (Mac OS X 10.1) which is a kind of panther (Mac OS X 10.3) which is like a leopard (Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6) with black on black spots. [↩]

Rick shares his picks for Thanksgiving iPad apps
In Canada, due to our earlier harvest, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October. So, just as soon as we’ve stopped remarking, “Can you believe the summer is over already?” we start into marveling at the fact that it’s time to think turkey and stuffing.
In this visit to Urban Rush, I demonstrate five iPad apps that will help you get into the Thanksgiving spirit (does every holiday have a spirit?). I’ve got something to help you work your gratitude muscle, another to help you find the perfect Thanksgiving side dish, an app to help you pair the meal with the right wine, one to help you make sure you don’t burn the turkey and finally one to keep you from getting sick eating leftovers that are way past their prime.
