| Star Wars Angry Birds – App Review Posted: 14 Nov 2012 12:37 PM PST
Hey, Star Wars. I love the movies, the games, the lore. With the advent of new Star Wars movies its a good time to be a fan. The guys at Rovio have developed Angry Birds Star Wars, a sci-fi twist on the classic game that is available for Mac, iPhone and iPad. If you love the older games, or want to get into a Angry Birds franchise this is a great game to past the time and have a bit of fun. It has all of the classic parts of Angry Birds, but then a Star Wars twist, where all of the original characters and themes add added in. Let The Force Be With YouAngry Birds Star Wars is available for Mac, iPhone and iPad. I will be reviewing the game for the Mac, however the game is the same across any Mac device. The first thing to note about this game is that it goes all in on the Star Wars theming. It simply isn’t a quick change here, a quick change there. Its a completely different game. It takes elements from previous games, such as the different birds, the space theming from Angry Birds Space but then really makes it seems like a new game. For example, the theming of the levels on Tatoonie make it feel like your are on the desert planet.  Angry Birds are in Star Wars, and its great. The game follows the same basic format of the previous games. You take your angry birds and you smash them into the piggies to stop them building the Pig Star. The birds take on new forms with the use of the force and light sabers. They really are cool. The use of the bird with the light saber allows you to cut through blocks and piggies with ease.  Angry Birds comes with a variety of different force weapons. All your favourite characters return, C-3PO, R2-D2 the Chewbacca. They all have different attacks and specialties on the different levels. The game progress like the other games, every time you beat the level you unlock the next. But you always need to go back and try to get the high score. Its easy on the first levels, but get progressively harder.  The no gravity levels are my favourite. This game has a good mix of the traditional levels, new birds and the old classics. I really enjoy playing through the levels. ConclusionIf you are a fan ofAngry Birds, old and new, you will enjoy this game. It has lots of new features, fun levels and plenty of replay value. If you have never played Angry Birds before this is the perfect start and is quickly becoming one of my favourite Angry Birds game. The only problem I have with this game is the sound effects, they do get a little annoying. However, a mute button quickly sorts that out. If you want to play this game you can get it for the Mac, iPhone or iPad. Which ever platform you get it on, its all great fun.

| Change How Downloaded Apps Are Allowed To Run Posted: 14 Nov 2012 09:45 AM PST
Hey, A new feature in Mountain Lion is the ability to protect your Mac from running applications that are not from authorised developers. This means developers from the App Store and identified developers apps will run normally. Those apps that are from other sources will automatically be disabled, and not run. This is a security measure to ensure no malicious code runs on your Mac. However, if you like downloading and running apps that are not from the usual source, you may want to turn this off. This post will show you how. Allow Alternate Applications To RunTo allow any application, downloaded from any source to run you need to change a system preference setting. Open up system preferences in your applications folder. Select the Security & Privacy preference. Under the general tab there is an option to select which applications run depending on there download source.  This little system preferences option will allow you to change settings. You can then pick the option you want. If you want to be very safe you can pick Mac App Store only. If you want to run your computer normally I would select the second option of Mac App Store and identified developers, I don’t see why it has to be any more strict than this. If you want an app downloaded from anywhere to run you select the option entitled anywhere. Its a simple setting, however if you experiment with applications downloaded from various sorted, you may want to select the third option.
