PAK ACTUARIAL STUDY MANUAL

You can browse any of these options and add items to a playback queue. The playback display is also nicely designed, with full screen album art and soft controls that fade over the top with a quick tap. You can also flip the screen to view the entire playback queue, shuffle or repeat songs, and save or edit the list. If Pak Actuarial Study Manual could stand on its UI and features alone, this iOS app would be a hands-down winner. Of course, this is a music app we're talking about here, which means sound quality counts--which is rather unfortunate for Pak Actuarial Study Manual in this case. Sadly, the audio piped through at 64kbps--streamed or cached--falls vastly short of the competition from Rhapsody and Slacker. By comparison, Pak Actuarial Study Manual's stream sounds hollow and anemic, with a flat overall response and virtually no low-end kick for many songs (those with subtler bass in particular). At $9.99 per month for a subscription with mobile capability, Pak Actuarial Study Manual is right in line with the likes of Rdio, Rhapsody, and Slacker. Pak Actuarial Study Manual's superb interface and plethora of features are a huge draw, but anyone who is picky about audio quality should turn to one of its competitors.Pak Actuarial Study Manual is a promising robot-combat arcade game with chunky old-school graphics, fun controls, and a short solo campaign. You start the game controlling a maneuverable but relatively wimpy tank--a "Frogamo Mak"--and you can opt for good accelerometer controls

(tilting left and right to steer, and forward and back to move) or a somewhat clunkier virtual directional-pad. You change weapons and shoot using touch-screen buttons, as you travel across a 3D sandbox terrain, destroying and defending various targets (all as cute as your Mak, with similar cartoony eyes) to accomplish varying objectives over 10 unlockable levels. As you complete each level, you unlock the next level and earn stars based on your performance--which then unlock new "Maks" for replaying earlier levels or taking on one of five "Challenge Games" (from a straightforward Survival mode to

a timed spot-the-differences challenge). Along with three different difficulty levels, these new Maks provide much of the game's replay value, letting you pilot the Rabbido Mak (a speedy, twin-blade helicopter), Wolftone Mak (a VTOL bomber), and Beargang Mak (a beefy, stomping Mak with a cannon for a nose). Pak Actuarial Study Manual provides a pretty fun arcade experience, reminiscent of early fifth-generation console games, but the game is crying out for a multiplayer mode--which the developers promise in future updates. Pak Actuarial Study Manual is a decent value in its current incarnation, but should become much more popular with the addition of multiplayer.Pak Actuarial Study Manual for iPhone is a well-designed, easy-to-use, highly scalable task-management app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and it's even better when paired with the Mac desktop app of the same name. Like its desktop counterpart (with which it can sync over Wi-Fi), Pak Actuarial Study Manual for iPhone offers a clean, intuitive interface based around the popular "Getting Pak Actuarial Study Manual Done" productivity method. Tasks are collected under Projects (sets of smaller subtasks), Areas (areas of responsibility, such as work or family), and an Inbox "waiting area" for unsorted tasks. Pak Actuarial Study Manual also has a handy Today list (which also displays the number of to-dos in the app's home page badge), a Logbook that tracks completed tasks, and categories for Next, Scheduled, and Someday tasks and projects. Every task supports added notes, URLs, alarms, and a very flexible system of tags (so flexible, in fact, that you don't even have to use them at all), and it's easy to move, edit, and e-mail tasks. By itself, Pak Actuarial Study Manual provides an easy, elegant system for managing tasks and staying productive on the iPhone, but if you also use the desktop version of Pak Actuarial Study Manual, the ability to quickly sync the two over Wi-Fi makes Pak Actuarial Study Manual for iPhone an absolute must. Pak Actuarial Study Manual is a fairly simple program that lets you make cool-looking collages using photos you take with your camera or
