iPad

After years of silence I would like to talk about many things, for example a detailed review of my new iPad, but for now I'll say just one thing: one week of iPad, and my macbook pro looks like a dinosaur, slow and heavy.
Perhaps is the beginning of a new era.

Review: TapDefense for iPhone/iPod Touch




TapDefense is one of the game "Tower Defense" genre, available for iPhone and iPod Touch.

The goal of the game is to stop the invaders from keeping the "Gates of Heaven", to reach this goal the player can put different kinds of defense towers, each one characterized by an its own attack range, power and special abilities ( like the Ice tower, that can slow down enemies).

To buy the towers the player use the "Golds", and to gain Golds you have to kill enemies, besides at each new level the player will collect new Golds of interests.

So more money you save, more money you collect at each level, but be aware: If you spend too few in towers the invaders will reach the Gates!


Finally passing the levels the player will collect the "Halos" that can be used to increase the interest rate or to research new towers: at the beginning of the game only 3 kind of towers are available, the other 4 towers must be unlocked.

There are many "Tower Defense" game available on app store (for example FieldRunner), but TapDefense is interesting because it's free but with nice graphics and animations.

The game is ad-supported, anyway the banners are not so annoying.

Really nice is the possibility of put online players points to confront them.


I recommend you to try to TapDefense, it's worth it.


Now I'm still at level 31 in easy mode, can you make better than me ?

A new blog about apple !?!? How boring!

A new blog about apple, the number "nth".
Why ? Why someone would like to read me together with professional apple news blogs ?

At present time the Web is full of blogs that everyday cover us with tons of news about apple: the last rumour, the new macbook, the new Iphone app etc etc.
Most of them try to inform the reader about each news on apple, covering us with tons of news that often look like reuters news: short, informal and standardized.
I will try to realize something different: every day I'll talk about one or two topics about apple and technology. 
Starting from some news I'll try to show my original point of view and to explain my opinion.
Sometimes I will talk also about retrocomputing, these piece of art that fill my house and my heart.

You are all invited to read and leave a comment, opinions and suggestions are well accepted.

Enjoy the fanboy-apple blog!
