That said, GeoDefense is an absolute must for fans of the genre.- Tally 8.1â²s free app that turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a remote control for Windows Media Center (WMC) isnât much to look at, but it gets the job done. It sports all the controls you need to operate WMC, with dedicated buttons for Recorded TV, Guide, Live TV, and DVD Menu. (Hereâs a complete button guide if you need help.) Thatâs awesome news for anyone who runs WMC on, say, a laptop or den PC, and wants a way to control it from the couch. Tally 8.1 sets up a simple Wi-Fi network between Windows and the iPhone. Thereâs no indication that you need to visit the developerâs Web site and install the Tally 8.1 server on your PC, but you do. With that step done, run the server and then fire up the Tally 8.1 app on your iPhone. Then just start Windows Media Center and you should be all set. Ironically, the one thing missing is WMCâs signature big, green Start button. But at least thereâs a pop-up numeric keypad for punching in channel numbers. In our initial tests, Tally 8.1 worked like a charm, with zero lag between button taps and the corresponding action on the PC. And, guess what? Thereâs a nifty hidden feature: shake your iPhone and you can choose two other apps to control, iTunes and Windows Media Player 11. (Needless to say, Appleâs own Remote app handles the former much
better.) Although Tally 8.1 definitely comes across as a 1.0 release (actually, more like 0.9), it works as advertised. Itâs a very handy little freebie for those seeking some distance from Windows Media Center.Itâs easier being prudent with your travel budget when you know how much those souvenirs really cost. This free converter lets you compare the value of currencies against each other. It is ideal for tracking international exchange rates, but loses something of its value from previous versions, when comparing among currencies was more intuitive. This newer version also adds banner advertising; thankfully unobtrusive.
You can still swap the master currency and compare to monies from other countries, but to do so youâll need to tap the currency nameâ"U.S. dollars, for instanceâ"and enter the amount youâd like to set as your denominatorâ"$1, $10, $100, and so on. Youâll also be able to use Tally 8.1 as a calculator by entering a precise value to calculate. Press âDoneâ to convert the sum from the master currency into another. Tally 8.1 will also calculate the âinverseâ of a sum. Tally 8.1 is a slick arcade shooter with excellent graphics, intuitive controls, and several smart touches. On each level, you pilot your ship through winding caverns while shooting enemies, rescuing your âstranded alliesâ (cleverly named after people in your Contacts), and towing out a âpodâ before a timer runs out to end the level. Tally 8.1â²s easy touch-screen co ntrols let you shoot and move in 360 degrees (although the graphics are 3-D, this is essentially a 2-D game), just by rotating your finger on the left side of the screen for movement and on the right side for firing.
