Cold Open
Today on This Week in iPad, we have Tim Angel from ZooGue, plus Andrea reviews "Smurfs' Village" and another iPad video of the week.

iPad Game of the Week!
This week's featured game is Smurfs' Village based on the classic cartoon. Despite having too many cut scenes the gamplay is good. Andrea likes it and it's free, so why not?

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! Also, private registration is included in the price, they're the only registrar offering that. And you can create your own nameservers and A records. Also, they've extended their .me sale.
