Break Some Glass - Smashing Weekend

Break some glass this weekend.

Break some glass & have a smashing weekend: 'Smash Hit' for iOS and Android turns the act of destruction into art. This app' will relieve stress for window cleaners everywhere. Breaking that glass that you've cleaned all day & hearing a satisfying sound of glass shattering as you do so, this is one of the newest app's out there. Free to play or pay to save your progress. Enjoy!

Some people can't get enough of endless runners. The concept of chasing a carrot on a stick and collecting tons of miniature carrots along the way has its own allure, but there's no denying that the same concept is often used over and over to the point of boredom. Smash Hit [Free] turns the runner concept on its head with a first-person perspective, beautiful graphics centered around objects made of glass, and a completely fair free-to-play system that actually works. You could say it's a... smash hit. The game's core concept merely takes a few moments to grasp -- you're barreling down a long series of tunnels, and your only method of attack is to touch a certain area of the screen to throw a marble.

Where Smash Hit succeeds is the fact that it takes this simple, yet effective control scheme and delivers an enchanting world that you'll actually want to run through. All you need to do is tap a certain area to "arc" a marble toss, and you'll be able to pick up the game's physics system in no time. Different segments constantly mix up your expectations, as DNA-styled glass obstacles, glass doors, and moving objects dot the landscape, seeking to drop your life count. Almost everything can be destroyed, but you don't necessarily want to throw all your marbles out willy-nilly, as you'll need to conserve them to survive.

Rain Man - Window Cleaner

I've been using this app' for my iphone lately, just thought I'd give you the heads up. It notifies you when rain is near & viewable screens to see when it gets to you. For iphone & android.

Description: RainAlarm is the easiest and fastest way to know whether rain or snow is on the way. It has been developed to provide a fast, reliable and lightweight application. It also has it's own webpage.

Features:

• World map displaying radar images from various weather services.
• Zooming with three levels of detail using the standard touch capabilities.
• Configurable animation covering from 1 hour to 12 hours in the past. See where the precipitation is heading to.
• Push notifications alerting about precipitations approaching your location. The alerts are based on actual conditions and include information about distance, size and strength.
• Set alarm parameters such as sensitivity, time frame within which the alarm is enabled, covered radius around your position that will be checked for precipitations and the interval of the checking (how often should RainAlarm check for precipitation).
• Automatic refresh of images and location every 5 minutes when running in foreground.
• Automatic or manual determination of location. Select your manual location from a list of predefined locations or let the device figure out where you are.
• Save your actual location to be used as manual location.
• Share last image via E-Mail.

The radar images cover locations within (or close to) the borders of the following countries:

- Norway

- Slovenia

- Australia

- Germany

- Spain (including Balearic and Canary Islands)

- Canada

- United Kingdom

- Ireland

- US (including Alaska and Hawaii)

- Netherlands

- Puerto Rico

- Guam

(And are constantly working to enhance the list of countries.)

This weather app and widget are able to warn you against precipitation (like rain or snow) by a silent alarm. You can watch what is coming by the up-to-date radar animation. Even more convenient, the supplied widgets can help you monitor the precipitation situation without any alarms.

The data used originates from governmental weather services. Works in the USA (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam), Canada, Australia, the UK, Ireland, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain (including the Balearic and the Canary Islands), Slovenia.

There are two versions of the app available: Rain Alarm uses Google Maps as background map whereas Rain Alarm OSM uses OpenStreetMap. In most cases the OSM version loads faster, whereas Google Maps seems more clearly arranged. All other functionality as well as the precipitation data shown on top of both maps is exactly the same.

RainAlarm Extended is the paid version of RainAlarm. It provides the following extra features:

- Pinch zoom with 3 levels of detail.

- No ads.

- Larger visible map area.

Also..

Rain Alert Lite- Global Forecast with Push Notification:

Description/Details: Never forget to take your umbrella with you!

How many dollars have you wasted buying unnecessary umbrellas?

Rain Alert sends you out push notifications on the day it's supposed to rain in the next 12 hours from the user-specified alarm time. You'll never have to get soaked in the rain again!

FEATURES

- Simple one-time setup for alarm time, location, and probability of rain (Make sure to hit "SAVE" button after you have adjusted the settings).

- Patent pending technology that aggregates the most up-to-date weather information from thousands of locations worldwide.

Android Handset To Be Fired Into Space: A group of engineers are planning to launch an Android-based smartphone into space to examine the device's capabilities whilst off Earth. According to the BBC, a team of engineers at the Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) are carrying out the project to test whether today's smartphones are able to function in space. Once in space the smartphone will be used to control a 30 cm long satellite that will take images of Earth from space. Android smartphones have been sent to high-altitudes in hot-air balloons before but a project as ambitious as this has never been attempted.

Amazon sweetens deal for Android developers & waives $99 fee for its App Store program. Amazon is looking to entice Android developers to its new App Store, waiving the $99 annual fee referenced in its terms and conditions that developers would normally have to pay. Upon joining, some developers are being sent emails that “as a token of their appreication” for joining, Amazon is waving the program fee for the first year of participation in its App Store program. It is not known whether this applies to all developers, for early adopters or people chosen at random. It might give that extra incentive for those developing apps for the Android Market that may wish to make some cash on the side which is exactly what Amazon are hoping.

Free Window Cleaning App' For The iPhone

Windows Washer is a new free game for the iphone & android phones that can be downloaded here. The game by Chanintorn Asavavichairoj (he'd win at scrabble) from Bangkok, Thailand is for those days when it's raining & you don't want to get out of the van/truck! Quite an addictive game & the music is very catchy (but for how long I don't know), but you have the option to turn the sound off either way. I've never cleaned windows with the bucket over my head - perhaps it's possible? How do you play? In the words of the author ..."Windows Washer is an addictive game. Run away from many monsters in the building that are trying to make you fall to your death!" And that's about it. It is the free App' of the day for today on "Free App Calendar"- Nothing drives me crazy faster than a dirty window. But when you’re on the 32nd floor and that smudge is on the outside, there isn’t anything you can do about it... right? Normally 99 cents, you can clean those dirty windows first hand for free today only! So get it whilst it's hot. Chanintorn (pictured) is a graduate of Thammasat University of the Institute of Technology just outside Bangkok.
