Simple’s online-only banking app launches on Android

simple card

Today online banking startup Simple announced the first Android version of its app, which is designed to replace traditional personal banking with an online-only experience. The app allows customers to see their balance at a glance, find nearby ATMs, deposit checks, as well as view and categorize their past spending.

The Portland-based startup generated a lot of buzz when it teased the product two years ago, partly because it was cofounded by early Twitter engineer Alex Payne, who has since stepped back into an advisory role at Simple. The company built up a wait list of more than 125,000 potential customers and started sending out invites eight months ago when it launched its iPhone app. However, Android users were told to wait.

The new Wii Channel just launched in the Wii Shop, costs nothing to download, and lets users rent or purchase a wide variety of content from Amazon's impressive library. Furthermore, Amazon Prime subscribers can access a fairly large catalog of free movies and shows — in short, it behaves exactly like Amazon Instant...

NRA releases 'Practice Range,' possibly the world's least violent iOS shooting game

NRA Practice Range

The recent spate of shootings, particularly the one in Newtown, CT, have sparked a wave of debate that tends to focus on both gun control and violent media, mostly video games. Now, in an uneasy confluence of the two, the National Rifle Association has released its own iOS shooting game, called NRA: Practice Range. Made by mobile developers Medl but apparently licensed by the NRA, the game seems designed as an aggressively uncontroversial take...
