Even at 99¢ or $1.99, it's easy to run up a pretty big tab on mobile app and game purchases. Fortunately, there's usually an app floating around your store of choice which helps you find items which are currently on sale. If you're an Android user, App Hunter is worth checking it.
It's compatible with Android 1.6 or better and offers three tabs -- on sale, hot free, and new free -- ...

Don't fret! Assuming you didn't already go out and buy three licenses for your machines, you're ...

Good news, everyone!
Well, everyone who's attending PDC 2010 anyway.
Microsoft has announced that all attendees will have a chance to shop at the Microsoft Company Store. That news might not have you dancing in your seat, but it's certainly a bit more exciting when you tack on the employee discount they're extending.

With that silly simultaneous application limit in Windows 7 starter nixed, it looked like the netbook-targeted OS was headed in the right direction. On launch day, however, one seriously goofy limitation remained intact: the complete removal of personalization options -- including the ability to change your wallpaper image.

Red Sweater Software's Daniel Jalkut believes in getting paid for his hard work, so he decided to offer a 20% discount instead of giving his apps away for free.

Don't have the $400+ to pick up a copy of Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007? It looks like the software maker has decided to take pity on you -- if you happen to be a college student. Microsoft is offering an "Ultimate Steal" promotion allowing college students to pay just $60 for the software. We're not sure that's a "steal," considering you can get OpenOffice.org for free. But $60 is still a lot ...

Awhile back we reported that Google is really trying to push its Google Checkout payment processing service by offering a $10 coupon to everyone who signs up. They're still offering the coupon, and they've even dropped the if-you-spend-$30-or-more requirement, and today I decided to bite the bullet and grab my sweet, sweet coupon. But I was a little annoyed that Google doesn't tell you up front, ...
