You have a lot of options when you want to buy or transfer your domain. Some of them are confusing, and try to trick you into making additional purchases of features you don't need. Hover wants to change all that. It's simple, neat, clean, and it's trying to make purchasing a domain EASIER. The prices are clearly labeled and don't change, and there are even helpful video tutorials on the front page to help you make decisions that are best for you. They don't have a "hold" system at Hover HQ. If you call them, the phone rings until someone picks it up and talks to you!

7 inches isn't enough
According to Steve Jobs, Apple will never offer a 7 in tablet.

Planet of the Apps

MLB At Bat 2010
Andrea reviews MLB At Bat 2010. The app gives users all the baseball news and stats they need.

SI
Jacob reviews the Sports Illustrated app. According to Jacob, the app is basically a port of the magazine, so if you're looking to go green, this can be a good way to do it but it's not mindblowing the way the MLB app is.

Football Rules
Andrea reviews Football Rules. You can look at NCAA and NFL rules and you can see what the referee's hand signals mean. Jacob doesn't see why people can't google this information, but it's free so why not?

SportsTap and Scorecenter XL
Next, Jacob reviews two similar apps, SportsTap and Scorecenter XL. These apps provide sports scores and info.

Verdict:
Everyone agrees the MLB app is the best of the apps reviewed.
