We always enjoy a good laugh here at iDB, especially when it comes in the form of a spoof video feature our favorite devices: iPhones and iPads. iPads and iPhones face-off in this Apple-themed Twitter anthem that spoofs Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”. And don’t forget, if you like this video… just tweet it, just tweet it… Read More

He’s a scary man, but he’s a fine chef, or so I’ve been told. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time that I saw Ramsay cook a dish. Between yelling at potential chefs on Hell’s Kitchen to breaking down entire restaurant staff on Kitchen Nightmares, I’ve just taken it for granted that the guy can cook.
The meat of the app, the reason that it takes up a whopping 400+ MB, is the video content. Instead of yelling at you and screaming expletives when you screw up, Ramsay calmly, but quickly, shows you how to make each meal. Unlike the wonderful Master Chef Academy app, though (another app with Ramsay), the videos are lightning fast and way over-edited. For example, the video for “Gordon’s Hot Bananas” lasts only 29 seconds and has to have close to 200 edits. It does do a fine job explaining itself, but I’d prefer to see each step all the way through. As far as cooking apps go, I would definitely go with the Ramsay-produced Master Chef app over Cook With Me. The recipes in Ramsay’s own app all look good and I’m sure taste even better, but the organization and the manic video editing leave a bit to be desired. As Ramsay would probably say, it’s ****ing trying too hard, and ultimately failing at the end. The app could also really use a 17+ mode, just to experience what cooking with Ramsay would really be like, f-bombs and all [ Gordon Ramsay Cook With Me Review is a post from 148Apps ]
 The iPhone can do many things, but “hypnotize passers-by with a dazzling array of colors” is not typically listed among its strong suits. That’s where the iGlo LED Set comes into play, bundling a WiFi-enabled strip of 120 multi-color LEDs — measuring some five meters in length — with iPhone and iPad apps that can control them. $299 is a small price to pay for this kind of portable party-making power, considering you just spent that much on a bottle of Blue Label for Steve’s birthday party last week… and that didn’t turn you into the most popular guy in the room. Follow the break for a full demo.

Apple’s iPad is without a doubt the most popular tablet currently on the market. Of course, considering it’s pretty much the only big name tablet on the market that shouldn’t exactly come as a surprise. Luckily, competition is being brought to the table from devies like the Samsung Galaxy Tab but until that hits, the iPad will reign supreme. One of the biggest gripes that consumers have with the iPad, however, is the fact that there is a lack of connector ports. While Apple managed to throw in their iconic 30-pin connector, and have released a few dongles allowing for a USB port or similar, there isn’t much in terms of connectvity. In fact, if you want to get video off of your iPad and onto your television the only way to do that (through a wire) is by buying Apple’s VGA adapter. Luckily, a new adapter has appeared today out of China that promises HDMI out connectivity. This adapter will give consumers an HDMI out port allowing them to stream 720p HD video from the iPad to any HDMI enabled display. Sounds pretty good to me. Now we’ll just have to wait until it gets released, if ever, and we’ll be all set. via engadget Related Posts
 Last week, a band you’ve probably never heard of sang a likely unfamiliar tune, as part of an impromptu concert on a New York City subway train. Nothing all that unusual there, except for the instruments Atomic Tom used — on that day, each and every member of the band jammed on a iPhone. Whether it’s a legitimate indie creation or clever viral marketing, the result is the same: an amazing video awaiting you right after the break.

Gordon Ramsay’s Cook With Me is a collection of 56 “classic” recipes, complete with ingredient lists, wine pairings, and instructional videos. The app is set up with an overabundance of categories, organizing the food into groups of food types, ingredients, and cook times, but has none of the basic categories like “main courses” and “desserts.” The app also gives you an ingredient list, a quick option to send out dinner invitations, and the obligatory information about Ramsay’s many books and restaurants.
