Review: The World Ends With You: Solo Remix

What happens when you take a mobile gaming hit and redesign it for a completely different platform? Square Enix answers that question thoroughly with The World Ends with You: Solo Remix. Previously a popular and innovative action role playing game (RPG) on the Nintendo DS, Square opted to reach a whole different audience: That of the iPad.

While Square Enix is no newbie to porting games to iOS, the question of quality in a game with adapted controls and visuals remains vital. So let's have a look...

What's the yellow "other" content taking up space on my iPhone?

I was looking in iTunes at how much space I had available for apps, music, movies, etc, on my iPhone and was confused by the over 1GB of "Other" content shown (in yellow) on the usage graph. What is this "other" stuff and how do I get rid of it?

How do I update iOS on my Apple iPad 3?

Category: Apple iPad Help

Not sure what it means: the "Settings" icon on my new iPad 3 has a small number on it. What do I do when this happens? Is it some sort of update to my iOS 5 or iPad operating system or is there a problem or error situation?

How can I recover an iPad with an unknown security code?

Category: Apple iPad Help

i read the article about the iPad password and pin numbers [see: How to create a complicated password for your iPad], my question is what happens if your boy picks the iPad, knows your pin and decides to change it and not tell his parents?

Create a complicated iPad passcode?

Category: Apple iPad Help

You're going to laugh, Dave, but my kids keep figuring out the simple four-digit numeric passcode I use on my iPad. They then log in and read my email, buy stuff, and generally raise Cain. It's awful. I don't want to lock up my device. Is there a way I can have a more complicated, harder to guess password or passcode on my iPad 3?
