Sparrow Mail Client for iPhone iOS released

Sparrow Mail Client offers an excellent mail client for Mac computers, now they are offering it for iOS also for $2.99. Sparrow offers plenty of features like the desktop client but with some obvious missing features such as push notification and for IMAP accounts (no POP forwarding email clients). But I am sure these two missing features will be added later in the future versions. Sparrow is a much better mail app to have in iPhone than the standard mail app from Apple.

For now Sparrow has released only an iPhone version (iTunes Link), hopefully they will provide an iPad version as well.

Here is a video of the app:

Control Your Finance with 'I Will Teach You To Be Rich'

I bought this book "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" about a year ago, wish it were available when I graduated from college. It is a must read book for both students and their parents, offers plenty of financial tips. Ramit Sethi, author of this book doesn't recommend you to be a miser, just wiser. It is a must read financial book and that too for a price of a medium Starbucks coffee.

Here's the link.

In this book, Ramit Sethi offers the following tips:

• The word-for-word script on how to negotiate your way out of a late payment on your credit card (pg 24)
• How to pay off debt -- whether it's student-loan debt or credit-card debt -- using mathematical and psychological strategies (pg 350)
• The surprising perks of your credit card, including automatic warranty doubling, purchase protection (if you spill coffee on your new laptop, like I did), and concierge services (pg 31)
• The 6 Commandments of Credit Cards (pg 22)
• The little-known technique to improve your credit -- if you have no debt (pg 23)
• The script for increasing your credit limit (pg 28) could improve your credit score and save you tens of thousands of dollars when you go to buy a house. Let's say that's worth $100.
• My step-by-step instructions on how to automate your finances should conservatively earn you over $100,000 over your lifetime -- if you are an illiterate, half-blind, one-legged pirate who doesn't even do exactly what I say.
• A simple investing solution that outperforms the vast majority of investors (I use that term carefully) year after year (pg 177)
• My exhaustive research on the very best savings, checking, and credit card accounts -- the ones that I use -- so you don't have to re-invent the wheel  (pg 52)
• The word-for-word script to negotiate out of overdraft fees (pg 65)
• The Ladder of Personal Finance: Where your money should go (pg 76). This alone will easily pay for the book 100x over.
• When to use your 401(k), Roth IRA, and more -- step by step (pg 77)
• What to do if you've maxed out all your retirement accounts (pg 89)
• Why I LOVE people who spend $5,000/year on shoes and $21,000/year going out -- if they use Conscious Spending (pg 91)
• Use psychology against yourself to save (pg 100)
• How much should I be spending on entertainment? Food? Rent? I have the specific numbers for you (pg 104)
• The Two-Headed Savings Approach to save hundreds/month -- without worrying about saving a few bucks on morning latte, as so many "experts" recommend (pg 111)
• How to spend only 3 hrs/month managing your money. If fully optimized, you can cut this down to less than 1 hr/month (pg 128)
• Use my automation system to completely automate all your money -- including which account should transfer to which other account -- and when. All fully detailed out day by day (pg 131)
• How to "link" your accounts so they transfer to the right place, at the right time -- automatically (pg 132)
• Master the sneaky marketing tricks that financial companies use to trick you. An entire chapter where I systematically demolish financial "experts" using their own data (pg 143)
• Do you need a financial adviser? Here are the questions to ask (pg 153)
• The simplest diagram on investing you'll ever see (pg 167)
• Where should you be investing? (pg 180)
• So you want to invest on your own...what do you need to know? (pg 188)
• The one thing you need to know about taxes -- and the worthless "noise" you can ignore (pg 205)
• Student loans: Pay them down or invest? (pg 220)
• Should you let your parents manage your money? And how do you help parents who  are in severe debt? (pg 222)
• The word-for-word script to talk about money with your girlfriend or boyfriend without being a huge weirdo (pg 225)
• The $28,000 reason we're all hypocrites about our wedding -- and the surprising numbers behind it (pg 229)
• How to negotiate your salary -- plus a case study on Rachel, who secured a 28% raise using my techniques (pg 234)
• A fresh perspective on buying a car (pg 244 -- how I saved thousands buying mine), buying a house (250 -- these numbers will astonish you)
• ...and far more

'Draw Something' popular new game app for Android and iPhone

The app "Draw Something", available in iOS and for Android phones (Sale $0.99), was only released five weeks ago and is already a big hit worldwide.

"In just five weeks, the pictionary-like game has been downloaded 20 million times.
That's more users than 3-year-old Foursquare has. That's almost as many users as 1.5-year-old Instagram."

This game needs two players to play the game. I just downloaded it and will add my thoughts later. If you like a game like Pictionary then you will play this game with ease.

If you have already downloaded this game, leave comments about the game.
