The equations that I have in the application are limited to those that can be numerically evaluated. I have two screenshots from within my desktop equation entry application (that I use to build the equation library) showing the electrical engineering equations currently in Pi Cubed: image 1...

It's surprisingly difficult to find unique math-related names. No one had a trademark on this one. As far as which equations are in the physics portion of the library: centrifugal force, force, force of a spring, natural frequency, period, and position of a free vibration, friction, kinetic...

Apple takes a 30% cut, so I end up with $7 for every unit sold (depending on the currency conversion rate for all the countries it's sold in). Seeing as how they handle the hosting, payment processing (in a whole mess of countries), and even some advertising of these applications, I think it's...

Hi, I'm a quiet CAG who lurks far more often than he posts. I'm also the author of a new iPhone / iPod touch application called Pi Cubed, which just became available for $9.99 on the iTunes App Store. Pi Cubed is an application for performing math as you would on a piece of paper, where a...

If you want to check out a fellow CAG's application, my program Molecules (free) is in the App Store: http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/molecules . It's a 3-D molecular viewer that lets you download biomolecules like DNA and proteins and manipulate them with your fingers. It's aimed at a...

I use Delicious Library for all my collection, as well as my DVDs and books. It's just fun to use. As stated previously, Delicious Library 2 should be out soon (the developer says that final beta testing is wrapping up) and it is much, much faster than 1 in terms of displaying large libraries...

The West Madison Toys R Us had a bunch of the clearance titles in a separate rack. I picked up Lumines II, Nanostray, and Monster Hunter: Freedom ($8.50, probably an older clearance title). Thanks, OP, for passing along the deal.

I just listened to the podcast on my drive home for the weekend. The live calls might work better as people get used to the format, but I tend to prefer the two-person format the show has had all along. I had also enjoyed the recent interviews you guys have had on the show. Additionally...

Thanks OP. I snagged one at the west-side Madison, WI Circuit City. There were three copies left when I was there earlier today.

I, too, jumped on this and picked up Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright. I had a $30 gift certificate for starting an Amazon credit card, but it couldn't be used on third-party items and I was having a hard time figuring out what to get with it. Thanks a lot, aaandrewww.

I'm in for Conker and Fable:TLC. $2.50 for shipping isn't that bad, and aside from the Paper Mario deal (where I went in knowing that the voucher probably wouldn't go, but I tried it anyway) I've had a decent experience with the vouchers. Thanks for passing the deal along, CheapyD.

If you go to their brick and mortar store, they are $14.99. I was there for another reason today, saw them, and picked one up. It was only a matter of time before the XBox items started being clearanced to make space for the 360.

Thanks for the heads-up, Maklershed. I settled on Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and SW: Knights of the Old Republic II for $43 shipped. I'm willing to take the gamble on them not coming complete.

Unfortunately, Polarium is also back to $29.99 (from $12.99). http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/255926.asp

The first Wal-Mart I stopped by (Appleton, WI) did not have any of the blue DS / Mario bundles left, but a second one (in Neenah, WI) did. They were marked at $149.99 (as well as the DS-only packages). Both of the salespeople I talked to would not price match their website, even when I showed...
