I downloaded Letterpress. It's a pretty fun variation of Boggle/Scrabble. It's free right now.

Can anyone recommend a good password manager? Doesn't have to be free. Thanks.

I use http://keepass.info/ but they're not a big integrated service like 1Password. I just like that it's open source.

ETA: Oops the iPhone version is https://itunes.apple.com/app/id451661808

Keepass is nice. 1Password's UI is a bit more intuitive though.

I use LastPass, and it works well, plus has a few methods of 2 factor authentication, to protect your passwords.

I like how 1Password integrates into browsers and has a Mac app as well. I really enjoy having every bit of sensitive information available to me wherever I am at all times.

Printer pro for iPhone is free today. I have a Samsung printer that AirPrint never worked with and the Samsung printer app sucks. This seems to work well.

The Simpsons Tapped Out is pretty fun and free. It's kind of like sim city sort of.

Be warned, turbo addictive and absolutely pointless. It's like Tiny Tower but less enjoyable, yet you still have to play it. The writing is funny though.

I love Tapped Out.

Anyone come up with a trick to win at the track? I lose my short there

Decent TD game, Sentinel 3 is free for a limited time:

Also if anyone has started using Google Music, I recommend this player:

I didn't know where to ask this question and didn't think it deserved its own thread so i thought i'd ask it here. Im an apple newbie and just bought a family members old ipad off of them. It hasn't been reset, so am i able to keep the apps they have on it or will i lose everything once I connect it to my computer and setup a new apple id?

Apps belong to the Apple ID; not the device.

The good part is when you get a new device, you don't have to buy the apps again. However if you wipe the iPad you will lose the apps. You also won't be able to do some updates without the password; should you choose not to wipe it.
