YO Can’t Judge a Book by its Cover

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

coverAre you having difficulty getting past that YO! book cover? Can’t seem to find any “text” inside the Science tab? Just let yo finger do the walking–or, page turning, in this case.

When you launch YO!, the book cover is displayed in the Science tab. By either touching this cover image or swipe scrolling downward, you will find yourself face-to-face with some serious yo-yo science info.

Enjoy.

Here is a direct link to my recently published App book: YO!.

Note: This link will open iTunes on your desktop.

Did yo know that a yo-yo can spin faster than a propeller powered by a piston engine? Read YO! and you’ll be in the yo know, now.

YO! Go!

picture-12That’s right, YO! is now on sale at the Apple iTunes App Store. You could probably classify YO! as a book or eBook — that’s, in fact, what category houses this App. But YO! is unlike any eBook you’ve ever seen before.

For example:

  • It’s interactive – click a Web link and stay inside the App for surfing
  • It’s educational – learn why a yo-yo goes up and down
  • It’s entertaining – activate the built-in digital yo-yo and YO while you read YO!

YO! is $0.99 and it’s available today.

TrustedAgent Power User Tip

Friday, June 5th, 2009

trustedagent3By now, you know that TrustedAgent is a useful PIN/password generator. For whatever reasons (e.g., password is too long, the PIN is too short, etc.), what if you don’t like the generated password? Simply toggle the same password switch (e.g., numeric, alphabetic or alphanumeric) (i.e., touch the switch from ON to OFF to ON, again) and a new password will be created. Still don’t like the supplied password? Repeat the switch toggling until you get a satisfactory result.

New iTunes Security Enhances TrustedAgent

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

picture-2Inside Apple iTunes 8.2 there is a new security option for backing up your Apps. Although this new feature is not explicitly mentioned on the iTunes “What’s New” Web site, you can find it when you connect your device (e.g., iPhone and iPod touch) to your computer.

Select your device on the iTunes sidebar and click on the Summary tab.

Underneath the “Manually manage music and videos” option is a new option:picture-11

“Encrypt iPod backup” [When you select this option a popup window will request the entry of a password (HA, good thing you've download my TrustedAgent App!). You can then remember this password in your Keychain.]

Using this new option is a great way to safeguard your TrustedAgent password file. This file is automatically archived on your computer during device sync.

 TrustedAgent does NOT encrypt PINs or passwords that are stored on your iPhone and iPod touch device. Remember, PINs and passwords are only as good as the security measures that YOU use to safeguard them.
