Even in the overcrowded online music streaming game, SoundCloud has managed to carve out a niche for itself — super long DJ mixes and cover songs. And that’s allowing the service to spread its wings and to become the YouTube of free music streaming. Lately, you’ll find official and exclusive tracks from many top musicians like Daft Punk, Coldplay and Wiz Khalifa on SoundCloud. If you like, you can also stream podcasts. SoundCloud 3.0 is a completely reimagined update for the iPhone app. The app has removed recording and uploading functionality, it’s just for listening now. There’s also a whole…

Do you spend your entire day looking at a computer screen? Everyday, there’s a new deadline to meet and time seems to be slipping away from the palm of your hands? You might be stressed out. And doing something you love does not excuse you from the stress. No matter how much I like writing, after a 5000 word session, I’d be burned out. Calm Down Now is an app made by June Tomaso-Wood, a psychotherapist with over 30 years in practice. This app is the manifestation of everything she has learned working with her clients dealing with panic attacks…
You’ve got a 32 GB iPhone filled with music and apps, but mostly music. You’ve got a couple of feature rich music players, all the metadata, playlists by moods and a directory of artists you love to listen to. That’s the dream at least. If you’re anything like me, there’s still a major part of your music library you haven’t listened to even once. Lost between the Daft Punks and Coldplays is that album from the new artist you bought because you loved that off beat single. Little DJ Smart Shuffle is a simple app with a singular purpose, to…
Time is a man-made concept. And just like every other man-made thing out there, it is effed up. You’ve got arbitrarily constructed time zones based on geographical boundaries. Then there’s Daylight Savings Time that no one country can agree upon. It’s not just the time that’s the problem, it’s how we keep track of it – our watches. Atomic watches are the only ones that really have an idea of what’s going on. Everything else runs at about the same time, but not precisely. Time.is is an iPad app from the stellar time tracking website. The app syncs with an…
Here at BP, we like creating beautiful pixels as much as we like consuming them. We do it by bringing you this site, working on the new “BP 5.0” design that we’ll be launching soon, telling you the stories of our lives, the apps, their designers and developers, striving to upgrade your technology experience. We are writers, designers, developers and yes, photographers. Because what better way to generate some beautiful pixels than to just click the world that we see around us, at the right angle, the right time, with just the right lighting and of course, the right equipment.
I like pretty things and I like to keep them organized (as much as I can). Which is why my iTunes library is complete with album art and metadata and my movies folder is organized with proper names and release year. Yes, I said folder because right now, that’s what works for me. I’ve tried using XBMC and Plex (back when I was a Windows only guy) but both programs were too complicated to use. At first, it was fun customizing and managing content in there, XBMC was so big it felt like an OS on its own. But soon,…
