I like Bejeweled, but I’m not a fan of the game’s many clones, which is why I was hesitant to play Doctor Who: Legacy. I’m a new Who fan, so the game caught my eye, but I went in with low expectations because I assumed I was in for a simple matching game. I was…

This week I tested the free version of Office Note by Resolvica, the next app in my experiment to find a decent word processing app that is good and cheaper than Pages. Unlike last week’s app, Office Note has a lot more features. You can tab, undo, redo, and look at the revision history. There…
