Macworld’s Stylus Buying Guide – More Than You Need to Know

I own two Boxwave1 styluses (affiliate link) for my iPad. They rarely get used because I find that I don’t have a need for a stylus most of the time.

But, if you’re in the market for an iPad stylus, you probably won’t find a more comprehensive guide than Macworld’s stylus buying guide.

(via Technologizer)


  1. The Boxwave, at $10, is virtually identical to the Griffin stylus which is $20.

Manually Killing Apps in iOS Does No Good

From Fraser Speirs commenting on the advice the people receive, even from Apple Geniuses, to manually kill apps to free up memory:

the iOS multitasking bar does not contain “a list of all running apps”. It contains “a list of recently used apps”. The user never has to manage background tasks on iOS.

There are exceptions, but none that you can do anything about.

CloudOn Cloud-Based Office for iPad

From MacRumors:

Silicon Valley startup CloudOn today released a free iPad app [App Store] that aims to bring the functionality of Microsoft Office to the iPad. The iPad app actually serves as an interface for the full cloud-based app on CloudOn’s servers, and thus requires an Internet connection to function, but offers what seems to be a remarkably functional implementation of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, all integrated with file storage and syncing through Dropbox.

For those who can’t wait for Office for iOS.
