If you’re constantly late for class and hanging on to your hopes of a diploma by a single letter, then these apps will help you get your grades up without sacrificing your much needed beauty sleep. Wolfram Alpha is the only reason I passed Algebra my Freshman year. The app used to be $50, but they have since come to their senses and reduced it to just $1.99. If you haven’t tried out the website yet, you should. It can do conversions, tell you the volume of a dodecahedron, and give you the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Wolfram can basically solve any math problem and even shows you the individual steps. The free website is compatible with the iPhone, but the application makes Read More

If you enjoy a healthy dose of laughter during your day, The Onion is one website you’ve probably got stuffed in your bookmarks.

The Onion has launched its official iPhone app, sponsored by Jack Link’s Beef Jerky. The application presents the award-winning news, analysis and attention-grabbing headlines all Onion fans, myself included, love. Among the things you’ll be able to enjoy while on the go are Onion Radio News, Onion News Network video, sports, opinion editorials, statshots, infographics and more. In addition, you can search and view The Onion’s online content archives and save items for offline viewing (very handy). Paid upgrades featuring enhanced functionality will be made available throughout 2010. If you’re not familiar with The Onion (shame on you), you should know it’s the “last bastion of reliable, unbiased, and definitive news reporting in a world dominated by superficial, mediocre, non-Onion-related media outlets.” During the past 21 years, it has expanded from a humble local weekly to a national print readership and online audience of 7 million a month. And if you Read More
