Hasta La Gadget!

Nickelodeon released an iPad app with full episode streaming back in February, but now an update has opened things up to the iPhone and iPod touch as well. Version 1.1 also promises more music videos and less crashing, among other tweaks. However, if you have an agreeable cable or satellite provider, then the ability to watch video on-demand is the headliner. There are a few episodes available without logging in, but subscribers to DirecTV, Time Warner Cable, U-verse, FiOS, Bright House Networks, Cablevision, Hawaiian Telecom, Suddenlink and RCN will get the most mileage. Of course, if the kids (or, adult Big Time Rush fans, whatever works) prefer to watch their TV on TV, they may prefer the Xbox 360 app — like Windows 8 and other platforms, the current app brings mostly clips and other tidbits — that’s on the way. Variety indicates it will hit the console June 25th, but, despite its post-E3 launch, its Xbox One launch plans are “not determined.” There’s a quick video preview embedded after the break, or you can hit the source link below and grab the free app for yourself.

Alexey Pajitnov certainly has a presence on phones and tablets when there’s a seemingly infinite number of Tetris ports. His newly released Marbly is his first game built with mobile in mind, however. The iOS puzzler isn’t as action-packed as Tetris or even Hexic, but it’s as deceptively simple as Pajitnov’s earlier work: players have to think several steps ahead as they match like-colored marbles. The game is easy enough to try when it’s free, with in-app purchases available when gamers need a helping hand. It’s also just the beginning of Pajitnov’s mobile efforts — publisher WildSnake Software claims that he’s working on more releases, which suggests that there’s plenty of all-too-addictive gameplay in our future.

When Ubuntu Linux was still in early development back in August 2004, Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth filed a tongue-in-cheek first bug: that Microsoft had a majority of PC market share. Little did he realize that he’d have an excuse to cross that bug off the list in 2013. Since computing now includes phones and tablets, he argues, that leaves the traditional PC (and therefore Windows) in the minority versus Android, iOS and other platforms. Whether or not you agree with that market interpretation, Shuttleworth is ready to move on — he feels it’s better to polish Canonical’s own cloud, desktop and mobile efforts than to target someone else. It’s undoubtedly easy for Shuttleworth to make peace when the battle is supposed to be over, but we can’t object to such a healthy attitude.

Although the shiny new iOS app and retooled web interface were demoed a few weeks back at MAX 2013, Adobe has released both facets of its new and improved Kuler color selection tool into the wild. The iPhone software enables hue selection with the handset’s camera or selecting a previously captured image for inspiration — with built-in preset moods and color rules to expedite the process when needed. Created themes can then be saved and accessed via both the web interface and inside Creative Cloud applications like Photoshop and Illustrator. The free app is available now in iTunes and a quick walkthrough resides beyond the break.

This week the folks at Evernote have made it clear: they’re not going to be the last ones out there without two-step security. The note-taking app now joins the likes of Gmail and Twitter as security measures step up to the last several years – and exponential up-ramping – of incidents in which this simple push for more secure log-ins would have stopped hacking altogether.

Evernote’s implementation of this two-step verification process uses’s Google’s Authenticator app – the same as Gmail. This system has the user enter their password as normal, but requires a code that’s generated separately by the app that’s unique to the user. The app exists on Android and iOS devices – tablets and smartphones alike.

As Evernote has made clear, “Implementing two-step verification is not trivial.” They’re implementing this system on all of their applications including, but not limited to, Evernote, Skitch, Penultimate, and Evernote Food. As significant back-end work was required to implement this system, Evernote will gladly be accepting feedback from Premium Users first.

This system will be rolling out to premium users first, then eventually to standard users across the board. As Evernote says Premium members are “the most engaged”, it only made sense to begin the rollout with them. Stay tuned as the full system hits apps in the near future.
