Last week, Appsbar brough in some new functionality, allowing business who take advantage of the free Appsbar creation tools to include appCoupons – digital coupon functionality, easily added to any app created with the web based tools.
"The proliferation of smartphones, social networks, and the community that is growing out of appsbar has let us create this perfect, all-new way for businesses to directly make and deliver digital coupons without all the restrictions and without any of the cost," said appsbar co-founder Scott Hirsch. “Our goal is to give businesses of any size a way to maximize the effectiveness of digital coupons. Now businesses can build and share appsCoupon on any social platform, email or mobile database they want.”
The application of such an easily produced system should be obvious to business owners who are looking for another way to use coupons in their bid to take over the retail world both locally and nationally. In addition, appCoupons will let businesses control their own coupon promotions, without giving away any of their control or profit, as might be true of a service like Groupon.
These digital coupons can be created using the same wizard and back-end code checker that is included in the free Appsbar set of tools, which can include calendar, menus, soundboard, graphics and GPS capabilities. Once created, the business owner can then notify the users of their app that a coupon is ready for quick and direct marketing. In addition, Appsbar tools allow apps made with the system to be shared on social networking sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
While apps made with Appsbar are necessarily simple, a savvy business owner could well take advantage of such a system to bring the power of smartphones and digital coupons to their own local business. Be sure to check out Appsbar’s website for more info.

In countless television shows and movies there has always existed a character that is a cop that preferrs to ignore the rules and write his own. For lack of a better way of saying it, this badass was usually the guy that in the end had a heart of gold – the only problem was the bloodstains tarnishing its luster. In 9mm, John “Loose” Cannon is that man all the way down to the musty looking hoodie and ankle flask. And let’s not even get started on that shameful excuse for name. You should know better, Gameloft.
Fortunately, for those who are less focused on the story and more on the actual third person shooter mechanics, 9mm will certainly satisfy. There are a wide variety of weapons, level environments, and more than enough set pieces to keep players exhilarated for the length of the campaign. It should also be noted that there are plenty of opportunities to tear the opposition asunder using the long-since overplayed “bullet time” mechanic, in a likely nod to Max Payne. Sure, they may call it something different in the game, but why not just call things what they are?
When looking at the big picture, 9mm is an ambitious attempt to bring the brooding action and noir storytelling of Max Payne to a platform that has seen nothing even remotely close. In this sense the game is a runaway success. However, those that are looking for a meaty storyline that they can really sink their teeth into need not apply, because they will be drastically disappointed. It all comes down to expectations. On what side of the fence do you fall?

I’d never heard of Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer until its debut on the App Store, but apparently it’s been around in 
I have to admit, I’m really loving the multiplayer here, too. Ascension supports both online and offline play and save a little slowdown when there are three or four players present (AI or otherwise), it’s incredibly smooth. Offline games can be set up round-robin style with one device, while online games support both simultaneous and drop-in/drop-out play. These are both great options and aside from a lack of any kind of chat support, no “Hard” AI setting and the aforementioned slowdown, there’s practically nothing to take issue with.

There are some people in this great country of ours that don’t have the luxury of traveling in their own vehicles or by plane. For these unfortunate folks there are buses and trains. The problem with both of these mediums of transportation are that they don’t exactly have a wake-up call when you reach your destination. As a frequent sleeping navigator, this could prove to be hazardous for someone like me.
