Penguin Books Shows the Possibilities on the iPad
Penguin Books CEO John Makinson gave a glimpse into the future of what the possibilities are on the iPad, showcasing a number of ideas for highly interactive content in eBooks. John displays number of content from children’s readings to medical textbooks to highly interactive star constellations maps, which by the way is some intuitive and fun stuff. He demonstrates how children can interact with their readings on the iPad by performing certain functions that enable the story to progress such as changing the picture in story by shaking the iPad, pinching and swiping gestures to interact with certain aspects of the content provided, even allowing the user to color the image of the story how they imagine it.
Apple Lives on Sesame Street
“Lives on” might be a strong term, but there’s definitely some pop culture respect being paid in the latest Sesame short D is for Dance. I know I’ve raised my kids right when my four year old daughter calls me into the room and says, “Daddy! Big Bird has an iPod!”
5 (Free) iPhone Apps Every Parent Should Have
One of the best things we can do as tech-saavy parents is get our kids acclimated early to the wonders of a digital life. I’m not saying kids can’t be kids, but I think it’s pretty darned cool that my 4 year old is the only kid in her class who knows how to work an iPod Touch or bring up web-based games in Safari. At the end of the day, growing up around technology could really give kids a leg up when they get out into the real world. And so, with that in mind, MacApper is proud to suggest five free apps that every parent should share with their kids.

Tree Review: A New Kind of Outliner
Outlining is an important part of any education system, whether you’re a student or a teacher. This explains why there are so many outliners out there. And, for the most part, they look the same; they use indentations to show what hierarchy the item is in. And this system works great. It means you don’t have to learn much before trying a new outliner. Well, today I will tell you about an outliner that works a little bit differently from the rest. It’s called Tree, by Top of Tree.
Timeline 3D: Let Your Timelines Enter the Third Dimension
Back in December we mentioned an application called Timeline, from Bee Documents. Timeline is an application that allows you to create (you guessed it) timelines. The version of Timeline mentioned back in December was the 2D version, and today I would like to take a look at the 3D version.
At WWDC this past June, Timeline 3D was awarded runner up in “Best Mac OS X Leopard Application†at the Apple Design Awards ceremony. This should give you an idea of the quality of Timeline 3D. It is very similar to the 2D version, except for a few key differences (one of which I’m sure you have picked out).
