Foursquare Promises, Via A Poem, That It Does NOT Drain Your Battery
The location aware app Foursquare, and its check-in sidekick Swarm, seemingly kills my phone’s battery. I mean, whenever I get within a block of the TechCrunch office, it lets me know all of the wonderful places around me that I can grab a coffee or whatnot.

Annotation And Document Management App LiquidText Releases New Features For IPad
LiquidText, the annotation and document reader app developer for iOS (and a critical darling that has been one of Apple’s selected apps in its store nearly since its launch), has launched a new version with features for the new iPad Pro. Behind The +1: Meet The New Google+(Plus)
