Did you answer correctly? How quickly did you figure it out? A sudden kick to the cerebrum with a little bit of pressure is harsh, but it's a good wake up call to see how sharp your brain is. I've been toying with IQ tests all week and came to a harsh conclusion that I might need to bend the mind a little more into shape. So dust the cobwebs from your brain if you dare and try one of these IQ tester smartphone apps. If you want to know how well you did on my little test, the answer is after the break. More

While parents everywhere would surely love if every time their child reached for a tablet it was to create something, we all know that if most kids are given a choice, they will play a game. Of course, skill and drill education software disguised as a game is generally the parent preferred game choice, but in the off-chance that your kid is just not into that, here are a few options that you both might dig.

Are wedding preparations making your head spin? My fiancée and I were facing the same issue. We were stuck under a mountain of reference books, bridal magazines and old clip outs she accumulated over the years wondering 'where do we start?' I decided to go digital, and after a bit of shopping we found a few apps to help us weave the pieces together. Here are a few that led us to water and are currently keeping us on track. More

While many prefer to use their phone as a bedside alarm clock, I'm rather partial to using a tablet. Why? Because I wear glasses, and by using a tablet with giant numbers I can read the time without reaching for the specs or grabbing the device and holding it up to my face! My tablet also makes a brilliant travel clock because it means I can shut my phone off to prevent phone calls from people who forget what time zone I'm in, and still be able to tell the time and set an alarm. For those who love a snazzy tablet clock app for the aforementioned reasons and more, this week's roundup is for you. More

Dining out is a great way to try new, expertly prepared food while absorbing a new atmosphere. But going out too much can get a little rough financially, and waiting for the check is an exercise in patience. Now that wallets and smartphones are slowly fusing together, the union serves to benefit frequent restaurant goers with not only savings but quicker and easier ways to pay. More

Most of the time when we talk about tablet apps we discuss ones that boost productivity, and today will be no different, although on its face it might not seem like it. Taking breaks can help you to stay motivated on the job, and one of the ways that we like to clear our minds is with game breaks. We've gathered together a few of our tablet favourites and would love to hear about the games you love to spend a little bit of time with during your work day. More

Pet owners are a special breed of people. Who else would drive out of their way for a dog grooming appointment or spend $30 on a cat bed that might never get used? I love my two cats dearly, but sometimes I need a little help organizing their paperwork and getting them to behave. After they were finished being distracted by some touch screen cat games, I found some apps that pet owners might find helpful. More

One of the ways I like to start my day is catching up with the news, both from the trusty local paper and from the various feeds I subscribe to. The tablet apps that I use to read the feeds have come a long way from the first RSS readers I used years ago, and I have to say, the improvements are quite welcome. Now, with these well designed aggregator apps, moving from one content source to another is fluid, and the reading experience has never been better. More

Back when we were kids, it felt like my Mum knew all the answers for whatever ailment I was suffering. Now that I'm older (and a little bit wiser), I still find myself asking her for remedies every now and then. Our health is the most important aspect of our lives and going to a medical professional is your best bet.

Have you ever watched a TV series that you initially didn't care for, but over time the story got better and better, until soon enough you found yourself a fan? That's been the trajectory of my relationship with Android devices. The first Android-powered phone which began the thaw was the Samsung Galaxy Note, the smartphone equivalent of an IMAX screen in your hand. But I always knew the Note was bordering on the ridiculous, the 5.3" screen proving to be an ergonomic challenge further hampered with the ever-clunky Gingerbread OS.
