iStocking Stuffers: The Best Apps for That iPad Under the Tree

Tilt to Live HD NEXT APP >>
9. Tilt to Live HD — One Man Left, $2.99 — After the serenity of Osmo, you may be in the mood for a game featuring more missiles, death rays, razor-sharp ice crystals, and high-pressure action. Tilt to Live provides all of those in abundance, in a pseudo-retro environment with fun guitar music. You tilt the iPad to control the direction and speed of a tiny ship; your mission is to evade and destroy the red orbs by triggering various weapons. Basically, it’s a colorful reimagining of the classic game Asteroids, but more fun.

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco. Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.) I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia. I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
