Saturday Morning RPG is a new indie game series that was largely funded through a Kickstarter project last year. The result is a hilariously tongue-in-cheek game series that combines the best elements of 8-bit gaming, turn-based combat and a wistful look-back at just how great it was to be a kid.

On this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show, Eli and I try to persuade Jared to buy Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo 3. We also dive into what makes the game click with us comment on how its release has ground the gaming industry to a stop. Later, we manage to dive into iPhone and iPad. In our games section, we discuss Cuboid and Extinction Squad. In our front page section, we talk about how traditional industry guys never seem to have success on the App Store and get out our mallets for a proper legal discussion.

If you’d like to listen, awesome! Click one of the links below. Additi…

The march of technology amazes me. Yeah, I’m an old guy, but it still surprises me when I realize that the amount of storage that used to fill a data center can now fit in my pocket. G-Technology’s G-Drive mobile (made by Hitachi, US9.99 MSRP for 1 TB) is the perfect example of mass storage in a small, silent box. Read on for a review of this mobile companion and a chance to win one!

Design

There’s not much too say in terms of the design of the G-Drive mobile — it’s a slim metallic box 5 inches long, a little over 3 inches wide, and about 3/4 of an inch high. There…

Russian forensics firm ElcomSoft earlier this week announced that it has discovered a way to easily access iCloud backups of iOS devices, incorporating the functionality into its Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker software. While the Apple ID and password must be known in order to access the iCloud data, once that information has been obtained the software makes it easy for investigators to download full iCloud backups and then follow incremental backups in near real-time to track a device’s use without the knowledge of the user.ElcomSoft researchers analyzed the communication protocol connecti…

The Weather Channel for iPhone is the most popular alternative to Apple’s built-in Weather app and it recently received a complete makeover. It still has all the great features of the previous design, but the new UI is much more beautiful and user friendly.

The main screen of the Weather Channel displays the location (with zip code) and the temperature in a nice big font. In smaller letters underneath the temperature, you’ll find what the temperature “feels like” and the high and lows for the day. If you tap the + sign, you’ll find more detailed information for wind,…

I’ve been using Tom Bihn Ristretto messenger bags for a few years now. When my original was stolen, I promptly bought another. I’ve used them for everything from going to the local coffee shop to going to Macworld and WWDC. 99% of the time, where I go, my Tom Bihn Ristretto goes, because it has most of the stuff I need in it to do my job.

The only problem I’ve had with the Tom Bihn Ristretto is the front organizer. The models I owned all left it open, barely covered by the flap that secured the two main and single zippered top pockets. That meant, while the pen hold…

It’s been almost four years since Apple debuted its App Store platform for iOS (and then the Mac), and MacStories has an in-depth look back at that time. In just four short years, Apple has gone from saying that all we’d need on iOS are web apps, to a millions of dollars a year industry that supports almost half a million jobs. Needless to say, that’s phenomenal growth.

But what’s most interesting about the growth of the App Store is how the apps themselves have changed. MacStories writes about that initial push — in those early days, the quality of the software was ver…

The battle over the nano-SIM standard is heating up with Apple on one side and a group that includes Nokia, Motorola and RIM on the other. In the latest series of developments reported by The Verge, Motorola and RIM are countering Apple’s nano-SIM proposal with a revised design of their own. This newest design is a compromise which includes elements from both their design and Apple’s. It’s about “80 percent Apple and 20 percent RIM / Motorola” writes Chris Ziegler for The Verge.

We should hear more about the nano-SIM standard when the European Telecommunications Standar…

A lot of us rely heavily on email throughout each and every day. I know I am constantly checking mine and always making sure to respond in a timely manner. One thing about email that I always wish was more customizable was my signature. I know that you can customize it, but I have always wanted an easier way to do this.

Then an iPhone app called Signature came along a little while back and it intrigued me because it gave you the capability to create your own signature right on your iPhone. Once I saw the app, I knew I had to try it out and see if it could actually help me solve my prob…
