CSI: Miami

Posted 11/17/2008 at 3:55am | by Zack Stern

CSI: Miami plays out almost the same way as an episode of the TV series. We suppose that’s good, although you don’t have to pay any more attention to the game than you would the dull show.

i41CX+ RPN Calculator with Printer

Posted 11/14/2008 at 4:08pm | by Florence Ion

The i41CX+ RPN Calculator with Printer looks and functions just like the graphing calculators that are standard in high school classrooms today, such as the TI-83+ or HP-41C. The interface captures the nostalgia of learning to use a scientific calculator, but only after you take some time to figure out how this app actually works.

If graphing functionality is all you need, then this free app is worth the download. The graphing calculator plots and traces several equations at a time, supports a plethora of essential equations functions, and can email an image of the graph. The X and Y coordinates are displayed at the top, while pinching the screen zooms in and out of the graph, enabling you to take a closer look at the coordinates.

Grafly is a sensationally vibrant way to graph your equation. This app displays your equation in 2D or 3D with full shading, lighting, and distinction between the inside and the outside of the shape. The 3D graphs are touch-based, tilt-based, and gravity-based; pinch to zoom in and out, calibrate “down” for tilt mode, or, in gravity mode, spin the axis anyway you like by moving your device to get a full, 360 degree view.

This graphing calculator application has an easy to use interface with its sizeable buttons, customizable background colors, and clear grid lines. However, it can be overwhelming at first, since there’s no tutorial or built-in help available.
