The iPhone 5C comes with a range of brightly colored cases that have holes punched in the back for a vivid effect. One developer team seems to have looked at those holes, though, and thought outside the “blue and green should never be seen” box.
Australians David McKinney and Stuart Hall — the team behind the Discovr apps — have made Flipcase: a game that uses the holes in the iPhone 5C’s case as the “frame” with which to play Connect Four.
“I was at the Apple Store testing the cases on the demo phones, and the Apple staff guy was like, ‘Aah, it’s meant to go on the back,'” MicKinley said on Twitter of how he conceived the idea.
To play the game, users tap the holes to place their pieces. You can either play against another player or a computer AI, and you don’t technically need the case… but it does put the experience a bit more in line with what we remember from the ol’ blue plastic frame.
Flipcase is available now for free in iTunes.

Deaf people have several limitations on their everyday lives due to their lack of hearing. Whether it is a random people talking to them, a program on television/radio or a video on YouTube, their communication is highly limited. Luckily, technology is well developed nowadays and not just for "normal" people. ProDeaf, a mobile app developed by a Brazilian company to aid deaf people, is a such example.

Microsoft has taken the liberty of telling users what they need to prepare for when they upgrade to Vista. In the table above they refer to both a “Clean Install” and an “In-place Installation.” The clean install does not mean that you will have to wipe your whole hard drive and start from scratch. It means that it can upgrade Windows but you will have to reinstall ALL of your applications. So really it is probably better to just format your hard drive and start over. The next option is the in-place installation which will let you keep everything: your documents, applications, and even your settings. You will pick up in Vista where you left off in your previous operating system. Well, at least that is what they would like it to do. No matter how many times Microsoft offers an upgrade option I will still be taking the real clean installation route. I’m not referring to their definition of “clean installation” either because I will be wiping my hard drive clean. You need to do this every now and then anyways so I might as well do it when they release Vista.
