uQuery: search the iTunes app store ... without iTunes

by Jay Hathaway (RSS feed) Sep 10th 2009 at 11:00AM

If you're curious about iPhone apps, but you either hate iTunes or just hate the hassle of downloading and installing it, you're in luck. uQuery is an app store search engine with no iTunes required. Even if you do have Apple's proprietary music software installed, sometimes its built-in app store search can be frustrating to use. uQuery gives you more control over your search results.

Granted, not too many iPhone owners are going to be without iTunes (although maybe you don't have it on every computer you own), so the better search results are uQuery's biggest draw. You can quickly filter apps by price, category, and when they were added to the store. Unfortunately, you still iTunes to buy the apps, but at least uQuery helps you find them.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
