    The Simpsons Tapped Out tasks you to rebuild Springfield after a nuclear explosion destroys Matt Groening’s fictional town in a hilarious, fun-packed new iOS game.
    Released today and available free on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, EA Games' Tapped Out requires users to erect buildings, create an environment and perform tasks in real-time to resurrect the town after Homer, while playing on his ‘myPad’, neglects the nuclear power plant’s safety protocols.

    Thankfully none of the lovable characters were hurt in the nuclear explosion.

    Word Order is exactly what it claims to be; you need to rearrange a series of jumbled refrigerator magnets into the correct order before the timer runs out.

    Developed by Swedish group AppForMore, Word Order, which also comes in Swedish, is an iPhone/iPod touch app divided into five categories: Quotes, History, Sports, Odd Facts and Sort. The quote section asks the user to decipher a quote from known ...

    Some say the introduction of twenty twenty cricket is a pox on the purity of four-day test matches. Some say ODIs are the best kind of cricket, others still disagree, saying that those matches just aren't cricket. But in all honesty, who doesn't seeing the likes of any of the current cricketing greats smash it out of the park? I mean, did you see Warner's switch-hit six? Cue Stick Cricket Super Sixes, an incredibly fun ...

    If you haven’t heard of The Sims, you could have been living under a rock. Since 2000, users have been creating their own second, virtual life on their computers, and now iPad and iPhone users have the opportunity to take The Sims with them wherever they go.

    And the best part is, it’s free.

    If you’re a fan of the FIFA franchise on full-sized gaming consoles, you’ll find FIFA 12 on the iPad device different, even a little disappointing. The capabilities are not the same, and you’re playing on a touch screen – but apart from this it’s great to have FIFA 12 on the iPad and on the go. ...

    Arrow Words is a crossword-style app from Britain that’s a great little time-waster with the ability to exercise your brain at the same time. I say ‘crossword-style’ because, unlike the crosswords we’re used to, the grids don’t have true symmetrical chequerboard patterns. ...

    It seems as if the odds are stacked against Swampy the alligator in Disney’s Where’s My Water ($0.99); stuck in a maze-like sewer with limited access to water, all Swampy wants to do is take a bath and scrub himself clean.

    Your quest is to dig around the obstructing pipes and create tunnels for the water to flow straight to Swampy by completing a series of physics-based puzzle games.

    Sick of Angry Birds and need an uglier, less polished version that's not fun to play? Then look no further than TrollBlaster – Physics Strategy Game, or as I'd like to name it, 'The App Store Plague'.

    Haven't posted over here for a while but have met some great contacts through this site in the past so thought I'd drop back and say g'day.

    Automator is pretty limited. What you'd want is an applescript applet that triggers when the folder contents change and does what you want.

    I second Byrd and bartron - max out the RAM, stick in a fast, big HDD, and do a fresh install of Snow Leopard, and you'll be very happy with that machine.
