Engineers at Yelp have taken a keg and a tap, an Arduino programmable board, a RFID reader and an iPad, and turned all this stuff in a, literally, cool kegerator: the KegMate.
The iPad tracks who’s been drinking and provides information about beer temperature and rating of recently poured drinks (so you can tell when is time to change keg even if it’s not perfectly empty).
Amazingly, the team worked during the Yelp Hackathon, assembling the KegMate in less than 24 hours, and doing this on official worktime, with explicit permission from …

Adobe Systems has eventually updated Photoshop Express for the iPad, after coming out with a first release that was horribly bugged.
To explain how these folks understand the iPad, let’s say they couldn’t think of someone willing to launch the app while having the iPad in landscape orientation.

A full MMORPG on the iPad, for free? You got it. It’s Pocket Legends by Spacetime Studios, LLC.
Just forgive the cartoonesque appearance of characters and make one. Then jump in and find others to play together. The rest is hack, slash, and dungeoneering.
Don’t look for the World of Warcraft-polish, though. Some location isn’t properly tuned for your difficulty level, for instance. But, the game really delivers and, heck, given what you pay you get an astounding performance/price ratio!
The app is optimized for iPhone too, and it looks like a miracle. …
